    Josh Smith, or Josh Harris?

    IIRC, Smith started five games for the Rockets, then got benched. I know nothing about him, other than the Rockets signed him on/about 12-26-14.

    A bit of trivia. When McHale played for the Celtics and they were in Houston for the playoffs, he was quite happy to give autographs. He usually wrote, "Houston sucks! Kevin McHale."

    I'll be sure to check it out. I love Lillard. I feel he represents what's best about the Blazers. They're all great, but he deals well with the media and attention. I enjoy when he gets the post-game interview. While LaMarcus is great, he has this "you know" tic when speaking off the cuff that drives me nuts.

    This has been an excellent season so far. The Blazers are in second place right behind the Warriors, and the Lakers are sucking horribly; this makes me very happy.
    I am also glad to see that Philadelphia has managed to climb to third from the bottom ahead of Minnesota and the woeful Knicks.

    That clip sums up the Laker's season nicely. That type of defense will get you a 12-26 record, and their offense overall is not doing much to improve that.

    I hate the San Antonio Spurs. I especially hate Tony Parker.

    Mike Barrett called it. 10th loss of the season. He listed off a bunch of other stats about losses...but this game is done. The Spurs were very ready for how deep the Blazers were into their bench. Stotts pulled guys and stopped trying. Once Dame is out, once LaMarcus is out, this team is done. Either of those guys can pull this team on their backs and get it done. I understand they can't do that all the time, and we're on a road trip. I don't feel bad for losing to the Spurs for where we are with injuries and depth.

    I just looked up the Rockets record and standing; I had no idea that the Western Conference Southwest was so tight.

    The Bulls were just SO sloppy tonight. Ugh.

    Noah already out for Monday's game. They'll probably still win, but they need him healthy if they are going to do anything serious this year.

    Reports are that Kobe has a torn rotater cuff. No word on if it is severe enough to require surgery.

    FUUUUUUUUCK. LaMarcus Aldridge is going to be out for 6-8 weeks with a torn ligament in his thumb.

    *sobs softly in corner*

    My Blazers are so beat up. :(

    Oh no and the Wizards are in Portland this weekend after a tough OT loss to OKC.

    But I do feel for you. Portland is top tier, Washington a step below and still a player or two away from the top but inching up (and hoping to get Kevin Durant to come home to DC next year in free agency).

    LaMarcus is going to play!
     
  20. Now we'll get to see what the Pistons are made of. Brandon Jennings had to be helped to the locker room after suffering a lower leg injury during Detroit's horrible loss to the Bucks. Augustin is a good, young backup point guard, but can he carry a full load yet? SVG has his work cut out for him. The Pistons really need to form a fucking wall, as coach would say.

    Damn. They were getting to be fun to watch again:mad:
