    and the Heat escaped, AGAIN
    The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).

      Candace mentioned a George Hill trade rumor on twitter. Anyone have any idea what she's talking about?

        I see more of that than I see praise for his ridiculously high level of play. I think blaming one person for a team's failures (or crediting one for its successes) is stupid, especially considering the lack of talent Love has been surrounded by. This is a team sport.

          I really don't understand why anybody would ever root for the Heat? They have zero personality. All they do is ring chase and foul. Lebron had a clear offensive foul tonight on his dunk on Millsap which of course wasn't called

            Somebody came up with a fake rumor with Hill+Granger going to Boston for Rondo, I'm really not sure why this rumor is been talk about so much, I've seen rumors by Yahoo that never got this much press.

                it gets worse. it's reached the team now.



                So as an Internet rumor circulated on Monday that mentioned Hill and Danny Granger in a trade proposal to Boston for All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo, Hill remained unaffected. Hill’s agent, Michael Whitaker, informed The Star that he has not been in contact with either team nor has he taken part in any trade talks involving his client this season.

                By Monday night, Hill had heard the rumor then shoved it to the back of his mind. “I don’t care nothing about that. If it happens, it happens. It’s the business and the only thing that I can control is what I can control and that’s to come out here and be the best teammate that I could possibly be and try to help this team win basketball games,” Hill said. “I just found out earlier today, so it’s something that I don’t really pay attention to. I kind of just saw it and let it go.” Indianapolis Star
                Awesome, so now Hill's got that in the back of his head. ****in internet. That trades not even friggin possible, the Celtics would literally have to double the outgoing salary.

                      Miles had an excellent statline tonight. 17 points on 8/15 shooting (1/5 FTs, though), 20 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 assist. Too bad that I missed the game

                      Thankfully, I can watch the replays now

                          I thought u couldn't combine the trade exception with a player? Or did that change?

                            Could simply make it two trades if they need to.

                            Just sayin'.

                                Reggie's doing his weekly interviews on Dan Patrick again. He doesn't buy that Larry would give him competition in a 3 point contest today.
