"We went to four straight Finals. ... We'll take 50 percent in four championships any day." LeBron James
^This was such a weak comment on Lebron's part. Getting beat 4-1 is pretty bad.

Problem with foot injury is that it's arguably a bigger deal than the back injury we knew about. Ask Yao and Brook Lopez.

Nice compliment to Russ by Riley. However, I think Lebron is far too self-absorbed to understand and apply the Russell philosophies. Lebron tries to say all the right things (although one can tell it's sometimes a terrible strain), but his love affair with his ego is far too transparent.

Sam,
LeBron: "talk to who?".
Riley: "Bill Russell, the greatest winner in sports history. He won 11 championships in 13 years".
Lebron: "He wore #23 too?"
Riley: "No Lebron, he wore #6"
Lebron: "But I wear #6! Now I'm going to have to change numbers again!"

When Ainge likes a player that is it. He likes Pressey, lets see if he picks up the second year on his contract. I would say Johnson and Babb are gone.
It will be interesting to see if Colton Iverson has made any progress in his development. Those guys down in San Antonio, Splitter and the other one, took a while to get where they are now. Maybe???????

Rosalie,
San Antonio also seems to be more patient with young players than Boston is.
I agree that Babb and Jonhson are probably on the outside looking in. I think Young can probably edge them out over the summer.
I really like Pressey despite his limitations. He's an underdog type and easy to root for. It'll be interesting to see how he fits in with the new guards that were drafted. Who knows, perhaps there's enough legs to keep the game moving quickly.

Pressey is a fighter, I love his game. I would hate to see him go. Playing with more young guys could be beneficial for him. The problem is, how many guards can they carry on the roster?
Still searching for the "big" to help them out. Danny has his work cut out for him.

MY NOTE: Yeah, 'racism' has nothing to do with race. It's about ice cream. Dimwit.

Sullinger said he's been shocked by Smart's defensive ability. Didn't watch a lot of college hoops

Sexism isn't about sex. It's about ice cream.

Teams and agents agree: Outside of role players now, the market is frozen until Miami's free agents and Carmelo Anthony make decisions.

MY NOTE: Since they seem to be taking their sweet-ass time we should probably relax about what it appears Danny's doing or not doing...

Did some calculations: With Jason Maxiell and Ben Gordon on the roster, the Magic's average age is 24.4 years old.

Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins about 30 minutes ago
More calculations: If you exclude Maxiell but include Gordon, the Magic's average age is 23.8 years old.

MY NOTE: Taken together from this same tweeter, these have to be one of the dumber tweets I've seen (if I were to start a thread for 'Dumbest Tweets' I think the "Racism isn't about race, y'all" one from yesterday would WIN, but this is up there for PLACE). Maxiell is excluded because he's on a team option? Is he really thinking Orlando won't pick up a $2.5M option on Jason Maxiell? And if he's going to do that then why not exclude Kyle O'Quinn too? He's on a team option too. And the difference between the two calculations? .6 years. Whoa! Time to place a mass order for Rascals!

Marcus Smart has a high-carry dribble for a PG. It's going to be an issue.
MY NOTE: Like Tony Allen and Avery Bradley and they are NOT PGs.

Still trying to get over the growth of Olynyk’s upper body. He just stands so much broader than he did 4-5 months ago.
