Sure, because Allen Iverson changed his game once he went to Denver. And all of a sudden a volume scorer will become magically more effective with less shots and without the ball.

Iverson is not a catalyst for anyone improving their game

This is a recurring problem. Not good for a young player that relies on his athleticism.......................

This could be the most disappointing season I've ever experienced considering my high expectations

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee earlier today, Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti announced.

"Russell has been playing pain free, but recently had experienced increased swelling. After consultation and consideration by his surgeon in Los Angeles, a plan was established to monitor the swelling that included a series of scheduled MRIs," said Presti. "On the most recent MRI it was determined by the surgeon that there was an area of concern that had not previously existed, nor was detectable in the previous procedures, and it was necessary to evaluate Russell further. The consulting physician determined that arthroscopic surgery was necessary to address the swelling that was taking place. We know that Russell's work ethic and commitment will help him return to the level of play that we have all come to appreciate."

Everytime I think about the Clippers and where they are I think about how much better they would be had they traded Bledsoe to Orlando for Afflalo.

I was shocked he came back as soon as he did. This will be a good chance for guys like Jackson, Lamb, and Jones to raise their respective stocks in this league. You'd expect this to hurt OKC W/L record, but it could make them better long term.

That would have been a nice trade, but I also wonder how realistic the rumor was. I take all of these potential trades with a grain of salt. Afflalo is balling though.

at the time i believe what was holding it up was LAC wanting more.

That was the report, but again, I don't buy reports for their face value. Nobody really knows what the situation was except for Orlando and Los Angeles. A lot of folks I recall weren't too keen on that trade either though in terms of the Clippers getting fair value.

SteelersFreak, how bout them Spurs?



Always fun beating Dallas....really good game though, nice come back there at the end..

Didn't get to see it unfortunately, had to work, but I listened to the recap on the radio and saw some highlights, the 4th quarter sounded like it was insane. Spurs are such a tough team to beat in close games.

Watched Inside The NBA last night and the guy that was playing the Sax on there was really good playing those Christmas Songs.

Need to see if he has an album or anything with those songs.

Re: 12/26 - 12/31 Games Discussion Thread

Just getting around to posting about the game last night... wow. I think Brown needs to give Bennett a chance to make plays on offense, and giving him 5 minutes isn't doing that. Irving didn't show up in the end of the fourth quarter when we could have won the game, and Bynum not playing really costed us. He would have been a significant help in the overtimes with Horford and Carroll out.
