Official 2014-15 NBA Regular Season Thread

Obviously you don't have a fantasy team with Kemba in it?? He is stinking up the FG%

The only fantasy team I have is the one at night starring me and 4 playboy bunnies.......


Last 5 games he is 49.5% (54/109 FG's) - not too shabby
Last 10 games - 43% - still not too bad!

Well played Hugh!

I guess I have noticed a pickup, but him dropping .25% earlier in the year was hurting!
 
Dwught vs KG = Dumb and Dumber

At least someone showing some passion - someone do SOMETHING in Brooklyn - that shit is a train wreck. Surprised it took this long!!!!! 6th straight loss!

Nets were never going to win that game anyway but don't be surprised if they get a few wins in a row now.


Yep KG ejected - Dwight should have been also IMO if that's the way they were going - or no one. Pretty soft.

They have a history going back a few years of slapping off each others hands while on D - getting into the trash talk. Mostly Dwight just listening but this time he got him a good little quick karate chop flick to the neck :lol:

Rockets coach Kevin McHale didn't think much of the fight, though he may have been trying to protect Garnett, who he drafted in 1995, from further penalty.

"In the good old days, that was a play-on," McHale said. "Now, they throw people out. I didn't think it was that big of a deal."

Nets coach Lionel Hollins said that the officials told him that Howard was not ejected because he did not punch Garnett.

Howard spoke glowingly about Garnett before the game. Both players were drafted out of high school and became superstars.

"I mean, part of the reason I have the number that I have (No. 12) is because of him (Garnett used to wear No. 21)," Howard told ESPN.com. "I wanted to be just like him coming out of high school. When I was in high school I think I went to see him play one time, and it's just crazy because you watch the game, you don't see nothing special sometimes, but he'll end up with 25 (points) and 15 (rebounds). He's always been that intense guy that's gonna bring it every day at practice, and he really loves the game. And you can tell with his energy and effort. I think this is what, year 19? And he's still playing with the same intensity as year one."

Howard said Garnett is the best trash talker he's ever played against.

"Every time I play him he's always talking trash," Howard said. "He'll have you so upset by the end of the game. ... Most of the time, he's just talking to himself, but you just think he's talking to you, so it's crazy."

Howard said his favorite Garnett moment was the two of them jostling during the playoffs when Howard was in Orlando and Garnett was in Boston.

"I was hitting him in the stomach and squeezing his stomach, and he kept turning around and hitting me," Howard said. "So I kept doing it just to mess with him. And I didn't feel what he was doing -- like he was hitting me -- but I never felt it. So I just kept doing it, and then he did it, and then we kinda got into it. I was kinda like, 'What you gonna do about it?' Like it was crazy back-and-forth, but it's just fun trash talking. I'll never forget that."

Howard fondly recalled how Garnett reacted during the game after Garnett's friend and mentor, Malik Sealy, died in a car accident in 2000.

"He caught a rebound and dunked it in real hard and he pointed up to the sky," Howard said.

Nate Robinson headed back to Boston, Jameer Nelson to Denver.

Nuggets seem pretty intent on blowing things up.

Apparently Arron Afflalo and Jameer Nelson are next to go.

Sad thing is, that in the east they would have been a playoff team.

You must be just as mad as Garnett!

Howard ejected as well??? You're dreaming! KG was the instigator and the aggressor. All Dwight did was a baby one arm push, no way that is an ejection!

As much as i can't stand Dwight i gotta agree. KG was the one who did the head butting. The ref was right there.

Anyone think the Wizards are a serious threat yet?

The Wizards remind me last 2 years pacers in stature. They are "there abouts" but not quiet there at the same time. Winning in the regular season is one thing, winning in the playoffs are another.

Wall has taken his game to another level. Hope they can hold their own in the post season.
