NBA Regular Season Thread III

"I really don't even care. I hope they lose every game the rest of the season."

Seems as though Pierce really does care...

Kobe will start tonight for the Lakers.

Pierce obviously cares if he hopes they lose every game.

Terry is just an idiot.

Barkley blasted that statement yesterday

Just a few more my bads from the league and they can catch up to the Spurs...




As for Celtic's comments, not shocking or really a big deal. I mean they should be more focused on what their team does. That said, I find it hilarious since if someone said they weren't impressed with Terry or anything he does, he'd get all uppity and offended.

21 straight for Miami

The whole Cousins situation is weird because he threw a blatant elbow and the league has suspended him for much less. A make-up for the Elliott fiasco is the only rationale I can think of.

If it was just Cousins, maybe I could see that, but how would one explain Ibaka (even though they played the Lakers on TNT the next game). I think it's just like hockey where it seems like unless it is beyond obviously Metta World elbow stupid, you're probably more likely to get away with it as the season winds down.

Ibaka got off because of the national televised game the next night, and the NBA's love for Bennett/Thunder. There was really no reason not to suspend Cousins. Kings are 23-43, they aren't going to make the po's, so the games don't really mean anything besides the cities last chance to say goodbye to their team before the owners probably approve the sale to Hansen.
