Pacers got run out of MSG. The score doesn't show how badly they got beat down. They were down by 20-30 most of the game.

Hopefully they can get redemption in Indiana today. Slight chance Barbosa makes it for the game. He better... dude was traded to the Pacers at noon on thursday and he is going to miss a friday and saturday night game cause he has to go home and pack. Seriously? Get your s*** later. Pacers are renting you for 20 regular season games and the playoffs. They need you down the stretch and you're not going to show up until tuesday because you have to go home and get stuff. Wow... maybe the Pacers should have bought you new clothes and a toothbrush or something. A bench player making 7.5 mil(this season) shouldn't be taking time off down the stretch.

Anyways... Bulls/Sixers, Celtics/Nuggets, Rockets/Clippers and Spurs/Mavs are the games of the day. Looking forward to the Spurs and Mavs. Bulls should lay waste to the Sixers and the other two are toss ups.

Bulls only have 13, two minutes into the 2nd quarter.

Pacers looking pathetic again. :(

Kobe went 3 for 20 with 7 turnovers and his team lost by 3. They had no business losing that game to the Jazz in LA. Bynum went for 33 and 11, Gasol went for 18 and 10. Kobe single-handedly lost that game.

Barbosa 4/4 for 9pts and an 2 assists, 1 rebound in his first 7 minutes as a Pacer.

So my Jazz have won 6 in a row. Derrick Favors is finally getting 25 mpg over that stretch and producing big time: 12 ppg, 12 rpg, 2 bpg, and 1 spg

If Tyrone Corbin utilized advanced stats, he would've known to give Favors more minutes a long time ago. The Jazz are 9-1 when he plays 25 mpg.

Or if he just watched him dominate veterans down low anytime he touched the ball he would've known. Not knocking advanced stats, but it shocks me it took that long for Favors to play more.

Not as much as it shocks me that this guy thinks NBA coaches and front offices aren't aware of every statistical way of measuring performance possible. Since it is their job and all..

Edit: Not knocking advanced stats. Mocking your condescending tone with which you present almost blatantly obvious information.

He wasn't getting burn in NJ either, so there were 2 coaches stalling to play him.

Whether or not they are aware is different than whether or not they value the valuable data.

A buddy of mine on fb just called for this to be a Finals preview.

A year of enduring Bama winning the BCSMNC, Kentucky winning the basketball title, New York Giants winning the Superbowl, the Nucks and the Rangers both blowing the championship then watching OKC and Miami battle it out for the NBA title would be unbearable. The thought is borderline nauseating.

And before anybody says anything about the Mavs, that's primarily because I'm over the Blazers until Paul Allen sells as of this season and I won't ride championship coattails.

Kentucky, Alabama and Cardinals are all as bad as it gets for me. I kind of like the Giants and don't have a rooting interest in hockey except against the Bruins.

I don't care for the Thunder but it would be easy for me to pull for them over the Heat.
