Cleveland and the Clippers get in on the fun (sort of).

Clippers deal Baron Davis and a 1st round pick to Cleveland for Jamario Moon and Mo Williams.

Still can't believe Williams is a Net... he's a hell of a ball player.

[bluejays]

Jamario Moon, lol. Probably THE most overrated player in the league. Davis is good but hasn't been himself in years. I wonder what his reaction is to being dealt to the Cavs? Plus Cleveland giving up their super-high 1st rounder? That's potentially the 1st overall, for Baron at this stage of his career? Odd to me.

[malcolmk14]

I don't know if you can call a player overrated when everybody thinks he is awful.

And it's the Clippers first rounder going to Cleveland, as of right now it is projected to be 8th overall. So the Cavs could have the 1st and 8th overall picks.

Hawks trade Mike Bibby, Mo Evans, Jordan Crawford, 2011 1st to Wizards for Kirk Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong.

man BOS keeps getting better.....jeff green + kristic for perkins + robinson?

[octothorp]

That Celts/Thunder trade is really interesting from a Thunder perspective; the top teams in the west are so stacked for big-men, and Krstic just wasn't getting it done. They give up a couple inches in height for an excellent interior presence; Thunder still don't have the interior presence of LA, Dallas, or San Antonio, but with Westbrook and Durant they don't need an all-star back there, just somebody who won't be consistently backed down by guys like Duncan and Gasol. But at the same time it's high risk; Perk has had a lot of knee trouble and is carrying around a lot of weight.

Chris Bosh had the worst shooting night since 1973 last night.

1-18

[d_phaneuf]

what a clown ru paul is

[puckluck]

Lmao wow Bosh pulled a Vancouver Canuck there.

[GirlySports]

Boston is really gambling now that Shaq stays healthy and eats up big minutes for the rest of the year.

Wow, there is serious venom for Bosh on the interweb right now. Can't say I mind. I don't mind Bosh as a player, but it's like he desperately needs his attitude readjusted towards the guy from Toronto 2 years ago and not the idiot roaring when he Lebron and Wade were introduced as Heat.

There is no way a US Olympian who played a key role should be utterly dominated and humiliated like that.

Inmates running the asylum known as the Pistons.

Tracy McGrady, Tayshaun Prince, Richard Hamilton and Chris Wilcox missed the team's shootaround Friday morning before that night's game against the Sixers in Philadelphia, and team sources told multiple media outlets that the players were staging a protest.

Sources told the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News that the shootaround boycott was directed at second-year coach John Kuester, who has clashed with players in the past.

18 games below .500 and they are blaming the coach.

pathetic.

[secol]

i didn't watch the game but i sure hope that miami didn't draw up their inbounds play for bosh to take the 3 at the end of the MIA-ORL game when they were down 3.....

lol i like their responses

[puckluck]

Miami loses again. I love watching them crumble. They will never win anything unless they can play some defence and Lebron actually learns how to be clutch.

[octothorp]

And now Bosh is complaining that he's not getting enough touches in the low post. Fun to hear him complain, but I've gotta say he's right. He doesn't have the size to bang with the big guys, but he'll create more space operating out of the low post. I don't expect things to change though. 29th in the league in assists is all you need to know about the Heat.

[moon]

It makes me laugh the BS hate the Heat get.

They and the experts said that they are going to take time to develop and that this year is likely not the year they win ad yet they still are comfortably in 3rd, winning much more than most teams in the league and a legit threat to win any game/series they play.

They are doing what pretty much most reasonable people expected but haters need to find a reason to bitch about them so they make up stuff to whine about.

Nice to finally see a good guy like Bosh on a real team for once.

[bluejays]

^ Moon, are you serious? Certainly Miami is a really good team, but the criticism is well deserved. They made the hoopla of having the Heatles, attention hoars all around, so now they can live with some vitrol thrown their way. Bosh may be a nice guy, but he handled his departure just as inappropriately as Lebron. He's getting what he deserves.

[Gozer]

Maybe they deserve the venom, but the venom is over-the-top.

The talking heads know they can pile on as much as they want, the general public will never sympathize with the Heat.
