Foot injuries are no joke (ask Corey!), and theyre only intensified in a sport like basketball where cutting/jumping is so prevelant

KD has the gout!!!

[Cnasty]

What he has probably hurts less than gout.

No doubt

We're at least a month away from the hype starting to generate, but this NBA draft class looks really good. It's been a long time since I've been excited about the talent in the draft. Normally there are 2-4 guys that I feel will have a good impact in the league (obviously some fail and some blow up). I think there are at least 7-8 double-digit scorers, not counting Cauley-Stein, who is borderline 10ppg potential, but a defensive stud (DeAndre Jordan).

Unless the Pelicans pull off a mini-miracle to overtake OKC, all I'm worried about at this point is the 2-7 CLE-MIA matchup in the 1st round happening.

The West, who cares. After 1-8, those other 3 matchups and the entire Western Conf playoffs are going to be insane.

Out of the mess of teams from the 6th spot down to Charlotte, Miami has the easiest schedule imo. They are battling some nagging injuries, which could hold them back, but I think they end up taking the 6th spot from Milwaukee. I really wanted to see Paul George come back for the Pacers and give them an end of the season push, but he still hasn't been cleared. He says he's ready. Indiana has been really bad the last 2 weeks, losing 7 of their last 9. They've still got a shot at making it, but it looks to be fading away. They have Brooklyn tomorrow and Boston on Wednesday, which could make/break their playoff hopes.

Has there been a concrete reason that LeBron hasn't been wearing his headband?

[DRiccio21]

he says its messing with him when he shoots free throws.

Gonna check Haberstroh's twitter, i'm sure he has a before and after FT% breakdown.

Probably not good for the hair transplant.

Craig Sager's cancer is back.

Craig Sager's cancer is back.

yup, knew something was up as he was supposed to be doing the NCAA tourney and then day 1 they said he wasn't going to be able to

horrible.

on a positive note, biotechs are doing some crazy shit these days and we're seeing some amazing progress in the cancer world. hopefully we keep the progress up.

Seems kind of odd for the lighbulb to go off or whatever you wanna call in this fashion, but during the past month, Anthony Davis has had 5 assists in 5 of his 11 games. He had 5 assists a game once in his previous 179 games.

I know, riveting stuff for a 9th seeded team, please not everyone reply at once!

The Nets jerseys tonight look like YMCA biddy league t-shirts. Completely plain and stupid looking.

Heyyyy, most people I meet have never heard of Biddy basketball, it's pretty huge back in South Louisiana, or at least it was when i was a kid.

Just throwing it out there... I'm kind of pulling for Paul George to get back into game action and for the Pacers to possibly shake up the Eastern Conference playoffs a bit.

Paul George played 15 minutes yesterday in the Pacers beatdown of the Heat. That's a big win for Indiana as they try to fight for a playoff spot. Their now 1 game back of 7 Brooklyn and 8 Boston, while being tied with the Heat, just outside of the playoffs. Indiana's remaining games are @ NYK, @ Det, vs OKC, vs Was and @ Mem.
