  Such a bullshit call.
  
  Not only was Delonte not shooting, he took a step sideways INTO the defender.

  Haha did kmart just have s seizure?!?

  This Denver squad is now a TEAM. Playing very well.. Of course, Boston is short handed as well...
  
  However, I find it funny that KG doesn't pull his usual antics against guys like KMart lol

  Nuggets just took this game over in the last 4 minutes.

  Boston seemed lost without Luke Harangody. They are in trouble.

  The Nuggs have 2 of the best PGs to ever play at Carolina.

  On SC the other night they did a lead in of the story from the Nuggs game by saying they acquired a UNC PG to back-up a UNC PG while being coached by a former UNC PG.
  
  Who's next? Ed Cota and Joseph Forte?

  We do?.....

Bosh is the Superstar, he left his team. Amare is the Superstar, he left his team. Does not matter if they were traded or not because in each case they could have re-signed with their team before their contract was up (ala Kevin durant,Kobe Bryant) or told them they want to re-sign but what changes made.

  
  Agree completely.
• karen lotz

  

  Lakers
  Cavs
  Nuggets
  Raptors
  Suns
  
  
  Which of those franchises is one of the most storied franchises in all of sport? How many NBA championships has each one won? Which franchise do free agents who are interested in more than just money sign with? Kobe had zero reason to leave, but he still threatened to unless the Lakers made large roster upgrades. Its interesting that Durant is mentioned as re-signing and then that is agreed with completely. He signed a contract extension after his 3rd NBA season which sounds familiar as to someone else. Does signing that contract guarantee anything once Durant is a free agent?

  Lebron would ONLY sign a 3 yr extension with the Cavs... Durant signed a 5 year extension...huge difference in committment to a team.

  That's the point that everyone so conveniently ignores. Lebron, Carmelo, Wade, Bosh, all those guys signed extensions with the team that drafted them.
  
  Yet, people still want to use the argument, "The NBA sucks because it doesn't matter who drafts a guy they will just leave anyways to play with their friends."

  Didn't feel like addressing the other questions? LeBron and the rest of those guys didn't hold their teams hostage as most on here think. Good for Durant signing a 5 year extension. But again, what does that mean when his contract is up and he is a free agent? I can't believe he didn't sign a lifetime contract. What a slap in the face.

  It sounds like most of the meetings between players happened at the Olympics. Wasnt that after these guys signed their extensions? Maybe that had something to do with it.

  Karma is a bitch. He's the softest player in the league and he showed it. He shot like 13 jumpers last night.
• osu45804

  

  Okay I've had a day/night to think about it and try to let it soak in and well I've decided.... that I still HATE Danny Ainge lol -- I love the addition of Jeff Green, having someone who can score like him off the bench will definitely help and a much improved "3" to come off the bench than Marquis Daniels but we have no big men and hopefully Nenad Krstic can prove me wrong. And as far as the possible buyouts... Troy Murphy, Dan Gadzuric, Rasual Butler,Morris Peterson,Anthony Parker,Jason Kapono and Rip Hamilton are rumored to be bought out ... Leon Powe is rumored to want to come back to Boston but I haven't heard anything on him in regards to his recovery process... Any Cavs fans know if he was scheduled to come back anytime soon?

  Bosh Goes 1-18, Yet Earns Oscar Nomination

  [video=youtube;reqvz-9C-RY][/video]
  
  Brutal.
  
  And of course Reggie loves it he flopped more than anyone ever.
• Fly4Fun

  

  Watching Bosh shoot 18" jumper after jumper was hilarious.
  
  The guy is the epitome of soft.

  And Lotz went out of his way to defend bosh from being labeled as a pussy.
• karen lotz

  

  lol, yes I went out of my way.
  
  Here are some more flops for you. New Cavalier Baron Davis may have the best one with a close second to the toughest player in the league, Anderson Varejao.
