More surgery for Kevin Durant, he's out 4-6 months

[Your Mom]

Dirk Nowitzki is the first ever player with 25K points 10K rebounds 1K blocks and 1K three pointers

That's so dumb!

Isn't that what happens every time Dirk shoots a 3 over a 6'4" SG though?

Dude has such a ridiculously high release point, I have truly never seen someone straight up block his fadeaway without fouling him in the process.

And as a Maverick fan, I become very sad knowing he has to retire sometime in this decade. Well he doesn't, but I don't expect him to pull a Robert Parish and go on into his 40's

It's come down to a position where I don't know if 8th seed is better than drafting Hezonja.

This is how I feel about Timmy. When he retires in the next couple of years, we're going to go through a really weird patch, especially if Parker follows like 4 or 5 years after that. It'll all depend on how much better Kawhi has become at that point and what kind of team we turn into.

Saying that, though, if we can find a way to stay the same, we'd look to always be in contention post-season.

[gunnar hendershow]

Ya'll are going to go hard at LaMarcus this offseason so that would make the transition a lot more seamless.

[Quom]

If he leaves. To me he's in the same bracket as Timmy and Dirk as guys that kind of embody that team. Then again Paul Pierce left the Celtics and the NBA is a bit crazy sometimes. I thought Marc Gasol was the main aim?

[gunnar hendershow]

They'll also go hard at Gasol. A lot of these guys might be open to 1-year contracts too since the cap is exploding in 2016.

[Benjamin]

I heard Gasol is the main target for them this offseason. I haven't heard anything about Aldridge.

Paul George is returning tomorrow.

[HC]

And they are still in playoff contention thanks to that awful Eastern Conference.

[Rafael]

The Hornets suck.

[DYSI]

Hornets rolling over the Nets in Brooklyn. It's playoff time, baybay.

The Hornets suck.

Brooklyn/Brook Lopez playing great this past month - only 2 games out of the 6th seed.

[Rafael]

Things went downhill pretty fast, to be honest.

[Benjamin]

Crazy how tight the bottom half of the Eastern Conference is. There's like, 6 teams still in contention for the playoffs.

[Quom]

They really need to rebalance it. I have no idea how it would work, but there is no way teams with 7 less wins in an easier conference should be in the playoffs.

[JasonM]

Southwest division on the other hand have EVERY team in the playoffs race right now... SW has always been a meatgrinder, but... wow.

[Tyrone]

Pacers' Chris Copeland was stabbed in NYC
