Man, Rodney Rogers. Homey was a TRUCK.
Actually this never happened.NBA TV is showing Game 5 from '94 between the Nuggets and Sonics -- the first time an 8 seed beat a 1 seed. Weird, I was just thinking about this series the other day when I saw Gary Payton. A buddy of mine lost a small fortune on this series.
Sorry GB. Damn, those were some great uniforms in the great NW.Actually this never happened.NBA TV is showing Game 5 from '94 between the Nuggets and Sonics -- the first time an 8 seed beat a 1 seed.

I still have that game on a VCR tape. I was so drunk--probably the best Nuggets night ever.Sorry GB.

If for some reason you weren't watching Raptors vs Pistons (how could you not!??!), here it is in all its glory. 20ish seconds when Toronto got possession down 2. Timeout? Nah. Early shot so you can rebound or foul? Nah. Let Williams dribble, wave off a screen, then take a step back 28 footer with the clock expiring? Yep.Casey with a brilliant play call at the end of the game![]()
Best part was that there was still 5 seconds left on the clock when he launched it.If for some reason you weren't watching Raptors vs Pistons (how could you not!??!), here it is in all its glory. 20ish seconds when Toronto got possession down 2.

Wittman vs Casey in the 1st round is going to be so painfully awesome.
Disagree.

Williams:We just scored on the same play, what we call the ‘three-pointer fist’, high pick ‘n roll. For whatever reason, Lou decided not to use it, again, you got to trust it. The first screen didn’t set, I probably could’ve called a timeout with six seconds, but I thought Lou was going to attack.
It was a set play that we had already called, and we missed a screen
We didn’t call a play. Once I got across and realized we weren’t going to call a timeout, to me it became a routine play for me
A mere 30 years beyond his prime.Blazers down by 17; four minutes left. **** Stockton: "Time is starting to become a factor here."
Still on his A-game.
Josh Lewenberg@JLew1050At least he passed for once
Oh yeah. They had a terrible stretch after that but everything prior to and including early 90s were fantastic.Sorry GB.

That's ridiculous that Noah's allowed to stand that close on the sideline wearing white though
Yes, a team's warm up clothes for a game shouldn't be the same color as their opponent's uniform. Seems like an easy rule.That's ridiculous that Noah's allowed to stand that close on the sideline wearing white though
I hate Noah but the little head tilt as he catches it is funny.Yes, a team's warm up clothes for a game shouldn't be the same color as their opponent's uniform. Seems like an easy rule.That's ridiculous that Noah's allowed to stand that close on the sideline wearing white though
It's amazing.Bill Walton did an AMA on Reddit yesterday. It was beyond epic. http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/30e0de/i_am_bill_walton_nba_hall_of_famer_sportscaster/
What is the story behind being milked?

23 hours ago It's the most pleasurable experience in the world! When you're on a great team and you get hot, your teammates milk you dry - they wear you out and there's nothing like being on a great team. When you're on a bad team and you get hot, they freeze you out because they figure they have to get theirs before the game's over. Never forget - happiness ends when selfishness begins. I love being hot and there's nothing in the world like being milked.

Yep. Orlando's first season in the league, one of the first MJ sightings in central Florida. His jersey got stolen out of the locker room on game day. They didn't have a backup red-23 in the arena, but the equipment manager had a nameless red-12 on hand for emergencies.
I wonder if that card is unusually valuable.IIRC, one of the trading card companies made a Jordan card with a photo from that game night, so there might still be cards out there with Jordan wearing red-12 on them.
30 and 14 tonight.He didn't score again after I posted thatwhat's that, 7 points?Nerlens Noel is going off against the Knicks. Already a career high in points half way through the 3rd.

the NBA as a whole was completely robbed by having that horrendous excuse for an org. in Cle luck into the top pick last year. Absolutely robbed everyone of being able to watch Noel and Wiggins on the same team.30 and 14 tonight.He didn't score again after I posted thatwhat's that, 7 points?Nerlens Noel is going off against the Knicks.

You only could have seen them together for a year, one of them would have won the rookie of the year and been traded in the off season.the NBA as a whole was completely robbed by having that horrendous excuse for an org. in Cle luck into the top pick last year.

Word up. How many Stockton-to-Malone pick & rolls do you figure he called?RIP Hot Rod Hundley.
Has he been driving with the left hand?Finally, Thibs pulled everyone and emptied the bench. Ken Reeves got some burn.
coulda used a few more from jimmy minutes, but itll do.Maybe there is hope for Tom Thibodeau regarding his keeping his starters on the floor in blowouts. I've lost track how many times the Bulls were up by 15-20 plus, deep into the game and there was Noah, Rose and Butler running fast breaks, fighting through picks.
Tonight, the Bulls played the Knicks (a lifeless team). They were up thirty halfway through the third quarter. Finally, Thibs pulled everyone and emptied the bench. Ken Reeves got some burn.

Assuming Beal and Durant can stay healthy, absolutely. Although Durant will be the stretch four to unclog the lane and get that offense out of second gear. John Wall and Kevin Durant will be lethal. Westbrook is more of a first option scorer. Not that he's not a facilitator, but Wall was born to pass. He's getting better about it, but he's still reluctant to shoot and often would rather look for another pass than shoot a jumper. And he needs to run. The Nene and Gortat tandem are not a fit for Wall. Deal Nene while you can, get a stop gap stretch (other than Drew Gooden please and thank you) to start working on it and be ready for Durant in fall 2016.Wall, beal, and durant would be a scary back court.
The Wizards need to give a competent coach a chance to work with that front court before blowing it up. I doubt anyone gives anything noteworthy for Nene or Gortat either.Assuming Beal and Durant can stay healthy, absolutely.

Definitely need a new coach. Whole-heartedly disagree about keeping Nene and Gortat together on a John Wall team. Somebody could make great use of them, but youre leaving a lot of productivity on the table choking up the lane with Wall and Nene is not a stretch.The Wizards need to give a competent coach a chance to work with that front court before blowing it up.

The offense can't all just be Wall driving to the rim and dishing. Nene and Gortat could contribute more if they were put in the proper position to do so. They can play Pierce at stretch 4 as it is -I'm not sure who else is out there that would contribute more in that role. .Definitely need a new coach.
