  That was a great game. I want the Knicks to get Melo, cause that would be amazing to watch!

  Ive never seen Kobe run around in a circle like that, especially before the game was over, on the road lol.
  
  Granted, I dont watch the Lakers much at all.

  Joakim Noah will have surgery on his thumb and will be out 8-10 weeks. Sucks for the Bulls as they just recently got Boozer back and were really playing well.

  Evan Turner should be demoted to the D-League

  Pierce is a douche, but that was a money shot

  Yes yes he does

  Manu with a game winner at the buzzer for the Spurs. Bucks almost stole back to back wins in Texas.

  That makes no sense in response to what he said....oh and agreeing with zombie means you are agreeing with a moron, which in turn makes you...

  Yes yes he does need demoted to the D-league. Smh, better?

  He was making fun of you cause the quote said "should", and you responded as if it said "needs to be".
  
  Either way, at this point, I think I agree with both. At least you are rational, while Zombie is just trying to get a rise.

  Oh I know, its his MO to do things like that, oh well.
  
  
  He needs to be demoted because he needs to work on his game, playing 7 minutes a game isnt helping him at all. D-league hed play the entire game and improve his game
• Mulva

  

  Why would you demote a guy averaging over 24 minutes per game?
• SportsAndLady

  

  You don't demote a rookie to the D league after a rough start to his 1st season....just dumb

  Looks like there is a very slim chance that Rondo will not play tomorrow night at home vs. Atlanta ---- That makes a pretty good Starting 5 out tomorrow night for Boston, -- Shaq, Perkins, J O'Neal, D-West & Rondo ---- Most injury riddled 20-4 team I've seen

  Did you see the little spat that Rondo and KG were having?? Any word on what that was about??
• Laley23

  

  I dunno, Turner played 3 minutes tonight versus the Clippers. Then they were up 20 and he got 7 more minutes to get to 10 on the night. The Clippers are the worst team (record wise) in the NBA I think.

  Didnt Hasheem Thabeet get demoted quickly last year? I mean, if you aint playing at all in meaningful minutes whats the point of being there (NOTE: I have no clue what Turner is getting minutes wise).
  
  EDIT: Thabeet was demoted in February.
• Mulva

  

  He played 21 and 15 the last 2 games though. It isn't like he's been riding the bench for a month.
  
  And obviously he's struggling, but honestly the Sixers suck. They really don't have any better options.

  ok, if thats the case I wouldnt demote him yet. I was basing it off of 3 minutes versus the Clips.
  
  I do think he is like their 3rd best option at the 3 though.
• Hb31187

  

  How many of those minutes are in mop up time though?

  KG was just upset at Rondo there were 2 or 3 times early in the game where Rondo was given the ball under the basket unguarded and instead of taking it right up he dribbled out or passed it out of a good shot or turned it over.

  It was a stupid pick. When you already have Iguo and Holiday who can't shoot for shit, adding another slasher/mid-range player who can't space the court wasn't very smart planning.
  
  There hasn't been much rookie impact this year in general though. A few top 15 picks (Ed Davis and Patrick Patterson at least) have already been to/still are in the D-league. Udoh doesn't see the court, and guys like Favors, Monroe, Hayward, Paul George, Turner, and others are having minimal if any impact.
