Batum? Seriously? smh…. Shut him down already.
by Eric Loftin on Apr 19, 2012 9:10 AM CST

my thought exactly
by Chuck Norriss on Apr 19, 2012 9:11 AM CST

I can’t bring myself to add that to the top [of the post].
I don’t want people to see that lineup.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Jazz announcers. Cuss cuss cuss cussssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by annthefan on Apr 19, 2012 10:02 AM CST

+1…REC
by Chuck Norriss on Apr 19, 2012 10:03 AM CST

Look at the stylish coifs on those Jazzy announcers. That will make up for a lot.

Man, Thabeet is Tha-Awful.
He looks winded running up and down the court. The other day, he blocked a shot by accident when he put his arms up.
by Timmay! on Apr 19, 2012 10:07 AM CST

Never thought we’d be starting Thabeet
…we’ve come so far :(
by hoodieNation on Apr 19, 2012 10:15 AM CST

Thabeet is sooooooooooooooooooo slow
by hoodieNation on Apr 19, 2012 10:22 AM CST

in every facet of his game.
by thankyouforblaze on Apr 19, 2012 10:23 AM CST

wes sucks at fast breaks. he dont see batum ever either
by Chuck Norriss on Apr 19, 2012 10:21 AM CST

he’s the NBA’s worst finisher on the break.
fact.
by thankyouforblaze on Apr 19, 2012 10:24 AM CST

Matthews should never dribble
ever
by hoodieNation on Apr 19, 2012 10:36 AM CST

yeah, i always get nervous after that second bounce.

Delonte West’s wet willy on Hayward is forever etched in my mind…
what was worse, the wet willy or that Hayward really seemed to enjoy it?
by kuhnsmith on Apr 19, 2012 10:22 AM CST

Delonte has been playing well this season.
but man, he’s a weird/creepy dude.
by thankyouforblaze on Apr 19, 2012 10:22 AM CST

Hayward seems to like him just the way he is…
by kuhnsmith on Apr 19, 2012 10:24 AM CST

Remember that time we scored?
by Mortimer on Apr 19, 2012 10:29 AM CST

Did Larry Bird ever have Babbitt’s moves at the hoop?
by kuhnsmith on Apr 19, 2012 10:38 AM CST

Please don’t ever compare Babbitt to Bird.
I am liking Babbitt lately, but c’mon.
by RenoBlazerFan on Apr 19, 2012 10:42 AM CST

I wonder what the comparison would be between them at the same age?
by kuhnsmith on Apr 19, 2012 10:43 AM CST

Really? 2nd year stats:
Bird 21/11/5, shot 47%
Babs 5/2/.4 shooting 44%
I would be thrilled if Babs turns into even a shadow of Bird
by RenoBlazerFan on Apr 19, 2012 10:48 AM CST

So only 3% percentage points between them?!
That’s basically a rounding error!!!!! LUKE BIRDBIT.

Babbit>Mathews
by Chuck Norriss on Apr 19, 2012 10:39 AM CST

one finish at the rim is all it took
by permaswoon on Apr 19, 2012 10:40 AM CST

Luke needs to try the wet willy on Hayward…
it drives him nuts!
by kuhnsmith on Apr 19, 2012 10:46 AM CST

Hayward made a big spiel about ‘wanting to fight’ over the wet-willy.
Could u imagine Hayward throwing punches at Delonte?
by thankyouforblaze on Apr 19, 2012 10:47 AM CST

He doth protest too much…
by kuhnsmith on Apr 19, 2012 10:48 AM CST

Yeah, Delonte would kill him.
No, really. West might actually take Hayward’s life.

being 7’3 thabeet really sucks at rebounds and blocks. not mentioning his offense.
by Chuck Norriss on Apr 19, 2012 10:55 AM CST

Besides that he’s straight money tho.
by Mortimer on Apr 19, 2012 10:55 AM CST

What a waste of tallness
by kuhnsmith on Apr 19, 2012 10:55 AM CST

he also steps out of bounds well,an all around game
by southern oregon on Apr 19, 2012 10:56 AM CST

Mathews gets serious tunnel vision at times
Especially when he’s driving to the basket
by Calgus on Apr 19, 2012 11:16 AM CST

no kidding
he’s probably using every ounce of his concentration to not turn the ball over
by hoodieNation on Apr 19, 2012 11:18 AM CST

haha
by thankyouforblaze on Apr 19, 2012 11:21 AM CST

Why would Jefferson foul Thabeet?
by Timmay! on Apr 19, 2012 11:31 AM CST

pity
by Calgus on Apr 19, 2012 11:32 AM CST

Would you wanna be on the awkward turnaround baseline jumper poster?!?!?
by Mortimer on Apr 19, 2012 11:32 AM CST

Kanter-beast
by thankyouforblaze on Apr 19, 2012 12:09 PM CST

looks like we might break 80 though
so, like, that’s something…
by Eat Politicians on Apr 19, 2012 12:09 PM CST

Paul allen looks lost.
by Chuck Norriss on Apr 19, 2012 12:19 PM CST

probably wondering who the hell these guys in blazer uniforms are
