What year did Flip Murray start the season with back to back 50 point games? When he and Rashard Lewis were carrying the Sonics? Good times

That tension came back to the surface when Bryant and Nash met with Howard last Tuesday. Howard came at them hard, telling them how upset he was that they never publicly went to bat to for him while he was injured.

He felt like they'd disrespected the effort he'd given by coming back from back surgery so quickly. He felt like they had done little to mitigate the criticism he was hearing for his play.

Bryant and Nash were stunned. He'd never told them any of this before, or asked them to defend him publicly. They'd known he was injured and appreciated he came back to play many months before the initial time frame given following his back surgery, but the code among players is that if you don't say anything to your teammates about an injury, it's something you can handle on your own. If you need help, you tell your teammates and they close ranks around you, defending your honor to the public and on the court.

Howard never asked that of his teammates. He'd tried to play his way back into shape after back surgery, and soldiered on after he tore the labrum in his shoulder, even with a long-term contract on the line. But instead of getting credit for such acts, he'd heard constant criticism. And over the course of a long, trying season, that wore on him.

Why weren't people rushing to his defense? Why wasn't he getting credit for playing with so much pain? Was he supposed to ask for help? But if he did, wouldn't that be making excuses?

seriously, lebron to lakers? do ppl actually think riley is gonna let lebron leave like that?

because he has any control? all he can do is try and fill out the roster but Wade will be old, Bosh will be bosh. unless something happens then i expect him to leave but NOT to the Lakers..

Back when he was known as Emanuel Ginobili

LOL!

I forget what year but in an old NBA 2k or Live the announcers would refer to him as that and it was hilarious to me.

Funny how everyone **** on the Asik deal this time a year ago, and now he's a top-five center.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

I wonder if anyone would call Dwight Howard a ***** to his face if they were within his arms reach.

its not like he would do anything, at most he would be like "hey.... stop that"

Woah guy, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Edit - darn I meant to quote the asik as a top 5 center statement. He's not a top 5, top 10 maybe.

Nuggets signed JJ Hickson for what reason?

JaVale McGee-Timofey Mozgov (Maybe?) & Kenneth Faried-Anthony Randolph.

That's the depth chart at the 4/5 slot for the Nuggets--2 veteran reserves who can't be depended on in limited minutes & 1 asthamtic starter who can't be depended on for a prolonged amount of time. Hickson is by far the best offensive big on the squad (not saying Hickson is above average offensively; just the other 4 are horrid), and goes hard on the boards, too. $5 million a year for a guy who double-doubled in under 30 MPG last year, with how the Nuggets front-court previously looked, is great.

I still don't understand why the hell Ujiri signed Randolph for 3-years last summer, and even went out of his way to do so by amnestying Andersen.
