I have lots of little things that run through my head or things I see regarding the rest of the NBA.........too small to start a thread over but never the less, still worthy of note.

So, I thought it would be cool to have a little thread where you post just small things you notice around the NBA...........could be a great highlight, a piece of news........anything!

So Ill start.

Has anyone else noticed how the Cavs current uniform (dont know what its for) resembles our old city uniform?

Everytime Ive seen a highlight with them wearning it, I get a quick thought of = "Holy sh*t! thats LeBron in a Warriors uniform!"........then a milli second later I realise they are just ripping us off again, like with last years playoff campaing. :roll:

Well, he's probably the worst free throw shooter in NBA history:

Worst Career FT Percentage
Minimum: 1,200 Attempts

Player......................FTM........FTA...........FT%
Ben Wallace.............994.........2,377......41.8
Chris Dudley............691.........1,508......45.8
Wilt Chamberlain......6,057......11,862....51.1
Reggie Evans...........629.........1,219......51.6
Bo Outlaw................957.........1,837......52.1
Shaquille O'Neal.......5,527......10,522.....52.5

Time to see Matt Barnes, J-Rich, and Baron together again...kinda Just looked it up, guess Baron still isn't gonna play with a bruised ass. Lame! Oh well Matty and Richardson are enough for me! Go Suns!

Oh I know...I'm going to be like 10 feet from Matt Barnes **drool**. What's funny is I'm going with my friend who is even more obsessed with him than I am...she takes it to a whole new level.

Haven't seen the article, but I'm gonna go find it...doesn't really surprise me.

Your friend sounds scary... :wink:

What I like is D'Antoni is benching his high scorer for the benefit of the rest of the team....

Thank god for injuries because I don't think we'd see much of our bench this year without them.
In Dono's defense, the adjustment period with our shuffled up roster and bench is going well into the season because this is the
first time he has been forced to seriously consider who else he has on the team.
Give him some time, he's just getting to know these guys.. lol
(Strange, how can I make a point and be both sarcastic and and kinda serious at the same time)

LOL. That was the UGLIEST end game sequence I have ever seen!!!

Lies, that game where the Warriors managed to turn over the inbound pass twice in a row and ALMOST turned it over a third time was the ugliest end game sequence ever. I think they made an 8 pt. lead with like 15 seconds left and possession into a nail biter.

Suns-Clippers game was sooooo much fun. Great to see J-Rich and Matty in person again. Baron was inactive and didn't even bother to show up for his own home game...slacker!

I have some pictures, but I'm not sure if they will turn out 'cause I was having some trouble with my camera and the lighting, plus the Clippers are super anal and wouldn't let me use my telephoto lens (the lens had to be less than 3 inches long)...lame!
