You mean Ron Artest right? I refuse to recognize his new name!

Whatabout that Jeremy Lin guy? WHATABOUT THAT JEREMY LIN GUY?! RIGHT?!

LINSANITY!!! Nah, it's only been 4 games and apparently he's now the yellow mamba(but he did tear up the lakers I must admit :/)

ANyone know what events are taking place on the all star weekend on our sunday (their saturday).. I recorded the celebrity and rising stars challenge but it won't let me record the sunday event.. so it's either the all star game, dunk contest or 3 point?

Loving the Timberwolves this year, one of the more improved teams for sure! Kevin Love is simply a machine.

Twolves are good but no team is near the thunder .. Durants on another planet at the moment and has the best backups a player could ask for...

My picks for awards:
MVP: Lebron
ROY: Rubio
6man: Harden
Most improved: Anderson(ORL)
Coach: Thibodeau

Minnesota have been building for a while now, couple of good additions (Rubio in particular) and Kevin Love finally breaking through as an elite player.

OKC have been amazing, no team is even close to them this year!

I think Rubio has been in the t wolves books for a while, don't follow it to closely but.

I'm not an absolute fanatic either, I thought he was still classed as a rookie?

He got drafted in 2009 but has played in Spain until this year

Australian Centre Andrew Bogut traded to the Golden State Warriors along with teamate Stephen Jackson for Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and KWAME BROWN!!!

Bucks picked up well out of that.

Wonder where Dwight Howard will end up?

He said he wants to go to New Jersey but the Magic will try and get Josh Smith to convince him to stay(they were going after Monta Ellis) and if that fails, they will talk to the lakers again

 

[NF_47]

Heard OKC rejected the Magic's offer for Dwight, it didn't involve K.D or Westbrook either.

Also heard the Heat we're a possibility to get him, that would just ruin the NBA if he went there IMO. The only way he should be able to go there is if they trade D Wade or Lebron.

As a Timberwolves fan, my hearts broken for Rubio. :'(

Not many others haha.

How good has Kevin Love been this season too!

How good has Kevin Love been this season too!

He's an absolute beast, ridiculous numbers and is clutch in the 4th quarter.

If Rubio was still fit I thought we where a huge shot of a finals spot, not too sure now.

T'Wolves are my 2nd or 3rd team! Dwight Howard expected to stay at the Magic for 1 more year after telling teamates that there is a fair chance of him staying. Orlando still want to trade him to LA by all reports even though he has said that he won't sign an extension there.
