Suns had 22 points at halftime last night. And finished the game with two more points than the Wizards.

Fuck Swaggy P. It should be a rule that if you're not averaging at least >10ppg, you can't have a fucking nickname.

I hope the wizards start winning, because I wouldn't want them to get hot and the Cavs stuck with them in the first round.

Of course....

"Under normal circumstances [in a season like this], at some point, you would probably concentrate on just developing all your young players," Kupchak told ESPN on Tuesday. "But we can't do that right now.

"This [season] is really a justified farewell to perhaps the best player in franchise history. And, God-willing, he's going to want to play every game and he's going to want to play a lot of minutes in every game, because that's just the way he is.

"And as long as that continues, which it should, then that's 30-35 minutes that you might give to a young player that you can't. How do you get a feel for your team going forward when you know that your best player is not going to be there next year? So it's really hard to go forward until he's no longer here.

In other news, water is wet.

The reality is, Kobe may be a great player, but he will go down in history as being a selfish POS. He's already the most overpaid player in the league and instead of this season being about winning basketball games, its become a season about Kobe Bryant. Kobe has ruined the Lakers for at least 3-4 years after his retirement and I don't know if they will ever recover. Is there any appeal to play in LA anymore? No.

Watching the Suns Heat came. 2nd time seeing Booker, he looks like a nice piece for the suns. Also happy to see Leur get some burn for the Suns. Always liked his skill set when he was on the Cavs, but he never really got a shot.

I wonder if everyone else on that team can't wait for this season to end. Seems like the whole thing has been a waste.

That was bullshit. At least they made it right after the story went viral.

What did they do to make it right? This is the last I heard about it and it wasn't even from StubHub.
