3-9 after a tip-in.

I wish he'd actually fight for position.

I would take this random Eurobig over Okafor if I was just watching this game.

 

[rome8180]

Nice little rolling bank shot for Oak.

 

[rome8180]

His defense looks better. Managed to contain penetration a couple times.

 

[rome8180]

Done for the night.

13 and 9 on 5-11 shooting (announcers are saying 5-12, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong).

Forgot Hood was playing summer league for the Jazz.

Hood, if he stays healthy, could turn into a valuable and well-paid player in this league, and soon. If Khris Middleton can get a 5-year, $70 million deal, anything can happen, right?

Obviously, Rodney was a rookie last year and got off to a slow start. His post-All-Star game numbers, though, compare fairly well with Middleton's year-round numbers:

Khris Middleton (6'7", 225 lbs): 30.1 mpg, .467 FG, .409 3PT, .859 FT, 13.4 pts, 4.4 reb, 2.3 asts, 1.5 stl, 1.4 to
Hood, post-AS (6'8", 215 lbs): 24.1 mpg .464 FG, .420 3PT, .814 FT, 11.8 pts, 2.2 reb, 2.1 asts, 0.8 stl, 1.0 to

Basically, anyone who has good height for their position and can shoot 40% from outside the arc should be able to get paid these days. Hood, as a playble two-guard who can also slide down, fits that to a tee.

Hood had a nice game yesterday. He did fall down and almost let Kyle Anderson score the game winning layup, though.

Dirk took a paycut for nothing

Clippers still elite

Carlisle to Cavs

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

That shit is crazy. ESPN reporting Jordan's leaning toward Clippers now.

[DurhamSon]

Haywood for Dirk via 3 way trade. Cuban wants to tank and would send him to a contender.

Chris Paul: "Banana Boat"

lololol

[CK86]

What a bitch Jordan is if he goes back on his verbal agreement with the Mavs.

 

[Pantone287]

Amazing.

Not like he'll even be able to play in the playoffs as a 40% FT shooter, but, ya know.

 

[best4heisman]

Chris Paul just made arguably the greatest tweet of all time.

The Big 4 (5 if you like Houston more than I do) teams in the West are still intact.

Dirk will play this rest of his career in obscurity on 35 win teams.

 

[best4heisman]

LAC @ Dallas should be a fun game next year.

 

[rome8180]

Winslow 0-2 so far.
