That's what you want from the second of your consecutive top picks that missed a year due to injury.

Sixers are such a mess/joke.

[justinandimcool]

worst exciting game ever

Raptors blow home court advantage. Raise your hand if you didn't see that coming.

Bulls fan really doing that??? OMG

[CrashDMB237]

Was gonna commend the Milwaukee crowd for trolling on such a grand scale then I realized the game was in Chicago.

[thebridge15]

Rockets vary good

Twitter is telling me this is charlie villanueva's first playoff game. That can't be right?

It's right

[Balor3012]

Tyson basically has to play both front court positions on defense because Dirk just can't move.

[Balor3012]

Also love seeing Pablo in a playoff game. Great dude

[Balor3012]

The mavs just can't play defense. In a close game they'd never get a stop

[bartender_man]

Solid win for Rockets.

[Balor3012]

Terrance jones being healthy is so big for the rockets

Bye bye 30 mins

God I loved the Shaq/Penny Magic as a kid. This was a great read. And it makes me terrified about OKC becoming the next "what could have been" with all that young talent and no titles to show for it if something tragic happens.

Also the fact that the Magic got 3 FIRST ROUND PICKS for trading down 2 spots to get Penny.

Thanks for posting the link.

[gocubsgo3822]

Rose looked like Rose last night.

RUH ROH

[JRS1386]

Did Rose #feer the #deer?

[thebridge15]

Very encouraging that god and reggie told derrick it was ok to play

"Shaq was never adamant about going to L.A. or any big market. He went to LSU, so it wasn’t like he was saying, “I need to go to some big market.” Our strategy wasn’t to force anybody to go anywhere. Maybe if he was picked by Minnesota he might have said, “I don’t want to go there.”

Even Shaq who cant read knows the wolves are a loser franchise

Toronto general manager Masai Ujiri used an expletive Saturday talking about Washington forward Paul Pierce when addressing fans before the Raptors playoff opener.

''People want me to say something about Paul Pierce but, we don't give a (expletive) about 'it','' Ujiri told a cheering crowd outside the Air Canada Centre in an area dubbed Jurassic Park.

Ujiri was referring to the Wizards veteran who earlier this week told ESPN he wasn't worried about the Raptors because ''I don't feel they have the 'it' that makes you worried.''

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who attended Saturday's game in Toronto, told TSN that Ujiri's comments were ''not appropriate.''

Last year, Ujiri was fined $25,000 by the NBA for ending a speech with an expletive before the team's postseason opener against the Brooklyn Nets.

What a shithead.

[Rodey]

Bucks still gonna win series

[CrashDMB237]

Ujiri is the definition of book smart. Good GM, fucking idiot of a person.

[kittensXLI]

Minus DeRozan that roster is terrible.
LOL @ Kyle Lowry's contract.
Then there's last year's draft.

[thebridge15]

ujiri is like a teenager

[gocubsgo3822]

Finally finished the Magic oral history. Good lord is that franchise tortured. Man did they catch some awful breaks.

Roo and Hitman is Devoss pretty hated?
