The Official 'Is this the end of the Mamba' Week 14 Thread

[stewie griffen]

Are the Pelicans the NBA's most frustrating team to follow?

Brandon Jennings is surely done for the next 12 months... poor bastard. So sad that it happens just as he was finding his niche in Detroit without Josh Smith... It does beg the question, much like Rose before him in Philly, of why he was even in the game at the time. (As Phx just posted he has tweeted that he is done for 6 to 9 months)

Another season ending injury for Kobe... Is this the end for the Mamba... or will he come back next season to collect his 25 million. 6 games last year before the Achilles and now 35 this year before the shoulder

Another day, another Bulls loss at home to a sub .500 team... sigh
Losses this season at home to Orlando, Utah, Brooklyn, Indiana and Boston.... and after knocking off the Spurs and Dallas in a back to back set... so frustrating

The Knicks starting lineup yesterday included 3 players on 10 day contracts... Has this ever happened before? Langston Galloway and Lance Thomas are playing themselves into deals tho... Langsanity anyone?

Still no word on the Reggie Jackson Sweepstakes, indeed its all quiet on the deadline day front. Other names/teams in the picture...

Pekovic/Martin/Young for Minny
Wilson Chandler for Denver... indeed half of their roster could be traded
The Nets continue to dangle their overpaid hacks
Deng? Its a possibility...
Pels if they continue to stay out of playoff contention
Dragic - staying or going?

Happy Straya Day for those in Aussie

Whiteside - the blocking machine

 

[stewie griffen]

Also... Hassan Whiteside with the rare triple double....

14/13 with 11 blocks!

Make that 12.... in 24 minutes off the bench!

I love the way Chicago goes at the bigmen.

Im not sure if it's brilliant coaching or just great thinking from guys like Taj, Noah and Pau. We first came up with this awesome plan against Utah when Gobert was blocking everything. Tonight we went back to that amazing tactic.

What? Whiteside is having a great game and blocking everything. Let's continue to go at him.

* OFF EVERYTHING. STUPID CHICAGO.

Oh and Kobe needs to gracefully retire. It's over bro, dont let it drag on forever. The Lakers are about 10 years away from even being a playoff team. You cant stay healthy. Just quit man, retire.

Looks like a playoff game with all dat gold. Let's hope it plays like one.

Chaotic start.

Adams out with a migraine

Bloody Kiwi's

Kind of the Cavs to pay tribute to Straya day by wearing yellow.

Now all we need is a few casual xenophobic comments from K-Love and JR Smith to show the pipe we'll be set.


No idea why they have actually made this a themed game though. Can't think of any significance.

 

[jod23]

With the All Star reserved being announced in a couple of days. What is everyone on here's selections?

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

JR finding his range in Ohio lately.

Kendrick doing what he does best now,jut being a big immovable potato.

 

[PHX]

Fairly sure JR just couldn't be stuffed running down the court to play defense.

jr smith showers before games in case he meets his future wife in the bleachers.

[peternorth]

Girls not tryna to get da dirty pipe brah.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

What about the drag down by the shoulder? Did they not notice that?

Pretty sure Moz is more upset about that, than the block attempt that got him ni the face.

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Hahaha don't give Perk the ball. That time is long gone.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Coming out of my cage and that stat line is doing just fine.
Open up my eager eyes, cos I'm Mr Whiteside

 

[stewie griffen]

Decent game this one

 

[Drumroe]

Playpffs will be really tough to make now

 

[Dirtywhirl]

Playpffs will be really tough to make now

It's the East though.

Miami are inconsistent, Brooklyn are treading water and Charlotte couldn't score 80 points against the Knicks

I could see any of these four teams taking the last two spots
