These Lopez twins look athletic enough for the NBA, especially Brook…

I always loved LJ, even though he wasn’t the same player he used to be after coming to the Knicks, he changed his game and was still a pleasure to watch.

Denver’s remaining schedule is decidedly tougher than Dallas’, so I don’t think it’s very likely, but I’m rooting hard for Dallas to miss the playoffs entirely. Nowitzki has also started thugging out in the last few weeks, the Kirilenko play was one in a series of way too hard fouls.

Also, Jason Kidd – dude, you asked to be traded, how is that not “quitting on the team”? I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing, but come on, man, just own it.

I live in Washington, DC and I could not agree more. Caron for Kwame has turned out to be worst deal I have seen in a long time. It is worse than the Shaq deal by far because no matter what Shaq is, he at least was a great player. Kwame has never been great at anything, there was never reason to think he every would be great. Even if you didnt know Butler was going to be an All-Star, you knew he was doing more than Kwame. If we knew the Lakers wanted junk for Butler, we could have sent them Tim Thomas for Butler. Soft as Tim is, he is still better than Kwame by a mile. That would have kept us out of the Curry deal and then we never would have got Richardson since the SF position was covered by Butler.

When players pose for their player stat site photos, they should be made to make several different faces. The picture on the site should correspond to the the performance of the player. Lebron and Kobe are allowed to have big smiles. Richardson should have his head down with his face in his palms. Really, should he be smiling with those stats! Look at him!

“As the Knicks ran their latest losing streak to four games (by a combined 58 points), there were lots of guys in the running for their weekly entry on the Hit List. But Q pulled away on Wednesday night with a performance for the ages that earned him his second mention in three weeks.

While the other team’s small forward (a guy by the name of LeBron) was going for 50 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds, Richardson turned in 21 of the most invisible minutes of the season. He went scoreless, missing all four of his shots, had one rebound, one assist and two turnovers.

He is now shooting 35.6 percent from the field and 64.5 percent from the line. There is no small forward in the D-League that could be worse than this guy.”

Caron Butler for Kwame Brown.
