Holy crap! That's a dunk even Vince Carter would be envious of. Eye level? Try mouth level. He could probably kiss the rim without even trying to reach for it.

Somehow I doubt a guy like JR Smith knows the standards all that well, though. He's a classic. You can tell there's nothing running up there for him. He'll do something stupid, say he's sorry, then proceed to do something else that's stupid.

Though I like the guy and I do like his personality, I may have to agree with this as well. He does seem just a little too uptight at times. Was he pushed for an answer by reporters on this one, though? Players do start getting pissed off at certain questions repeated again and again. I'd be...

Yeah Mike Brown was suspended for a game as well. Thing is though, Mike Brown was visibly upset. Turkoglu in comparison was just straight up calm when touching the ref, like he's talking to his friend or something. It's really crazy. Stern and company could at least set a precedent, but there's...

It wasn't really a good run considering they got packed in the first round last season. The Spurs try to play for the title every year, no matter how much people write them off. If Tony Parker is going to play scared against some no-name player like Mike Conley like last season, it's not going...

Hindsight bias kicking in. His points per game are coming down with Amare and Melo back in the roster, but he's still scoring at a good clip. His turnovers are also down the past few games. The hype is over for now, but he's not.

Physical contact? All he did was touch the ref on his shoulders when he was trying to explain. There was no malice in it. It was just a friendly gesture. I guess NBA refs are truly literally untouchable. Meh.

Here we go again. The Gasol rumors never stop. Seriously, the Lakers FO is a mess. They better hope they can actually get him for something. If they are unable to ship Gasol by the deadline, they will have no one to blame but themselves when the playoffs roll around.

I second this. It's a breath of fresh air whenever players genuinely credit their teammates. You can tell it is genuine too, with the way he addressed the issue by acknowledging that they have a winning record after all. Dwight is a loser in comparison.

I agree with this. Mike Brown is a mess actually. Also, it looks to me like Mike Brown has handed the reins over to Kobe anyways, considering the amount and kinds of shots Kobe is taking these days from what I've seen. Phil Jackson would have been a lot less tolerant about Kobe doing that sort...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure OKC is for real, LOL. I agree that if they were to match up with the Heat, they can take them. LeBron may be able to shut down Derrick Rose, but Durant is a slightly different story with his length.

David Stern has always been very strict and almost authoritarian about players, coaches and owners when it comes to fining them whenever they make remarks about the referees. He's made a lot of money out of Mark Cuban doing this. This comes as no surprise. I definitely agree that some of the...

Lin actually had a pretty bad game though. It seemed like he scored a majority of those 20 points when the game was over and the Knicks never really threatened the Spurs at the end. Sure he went to Harvard, but I'm sure you know book-smart doesn't mean basketball-smart.

He's having a great year. In past years, one thing would be missing from his game. It may be his midrange game. It may be that his floater has disappeared and he has stopped going to it. This year, he's been able to put his midrange, his floater and his slashing game together which makes him...

It's over, for now. He's still playing ok to good, though. It's most likely quite relieving for him, because now he can work with his teammates and on his game, without the spotlight and pressure constantly on him. His turnover numbers are somewhat down, now.

I actually think Arenas would come back to the NBA for cheap. He did have some major contracts before his off-court troubles, and he could very well be over that. Judging from these reports, I don't think he's the type of guy to turn down an opportunity to start all over again.

It makes no sense for Portland. Like everyone else said, Felton's contract will run out soon enough. For LA, I'm not sure why they want to do it either, considering the way he's played all year. Maybe they think Felton can rejuvenate his career in LA.

Right now, I will just second the sentiment on Kevin Garnett. This guy does just about everything to try to gain the edge. His antics are not overly blatant but when they happen, guys like Marco Belinelli are down on the floor, holding their ribcage and wondering why the refs let KG get away...

Whatever floats your boat, man. I'd argue that "36 minutes of back and forth" creates some pretty good suspense. We get to see whether the team leading will try to put the other team away, or if the opposing team will try to make a comeback. Trading "insurmountable leads" is what makes it fun.

It's only one. I don't think it matters all that much that Pierce has somewhat predictable moves. Like somebody else said, it works for him, every time. You still can't stop him. He's still able to put up points from it.
