Had no idea the Utah crowd is that good

It's sad that even with the addition of Rivers, Anderson and David, Hornets are still the worst team in the Western conference.

Check out the 97 and 98 Finals vs. Chicago. They go absolutely APESHIT on every bucket.

I know they were awesome back then, but they're just a really, really average team now or at least I thought. I didn't watch more than 5 mins of Utah this year, so I was pretty shocked when I saw Milsap and Jefferson doing post moves. Foye and Williams look like great additions as well.

Ah gotcha. Yeah, Utah is notorious for having a consistently hot crowd.

Rivers is terrible and Davis has missed a lot of games. Give 'em some time.

For real? Utah has one of the best crowds in the NBA, one could make a legit argument for them having the best but they're top 5 at worst. Utah, Golden State, OKC, Memphis and San Antonio are my top 5 best crowds in the NBA. Honorable mention would go to the Knicks & Boston.

Well Rivers is terrible and Anderson while he does put up nice numbers, he isn't a game-changer. At least not by himself like he has been this season for the most part. Davis has missed the majority of games this season, much like Gordon. What a lot of people don't realize is that the Hornets were over .500 last year when Eric Gordon played, I really think a healthy New Orleans could challenge for the 8th seed. Their bench needs some work but they have a good group of a starters and one of the better sixth men.

Greivis Vasquez has proved himself to be a top 15 PG. Eric Gordon is arguably a top 5 SG, top 8 at worst. Al-Farouq Aminu is showing that he has potential, he's looked good so far this season. I think there's any words needed for Davis. Robin Lopez has also had a productive season and Anderson should finish no worse than top 5 in Sixth Man of the Year voting. Not to mention the Hornets have probably the most underrated coach in the NBA in Monty Williams.

I didn't, I never watched Utah games. I knew they had an awesome crowd back in the Malone/Stockton days but I thought that was because the team was awesome. Never knew they were on Golden State/NY/Memphis/etc level

John Hollinger to leave ESPN and join the Grizzlies in a front office job.

Him and his PER can now fuck off.

So the first results from the All-Star balloting is released and the surprise (or should I say, not surprised) vote-getter is Jeremy Lin is who third overall in votes for the Guard position. He's after Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul. Right behind Lin is James Harden. It's that Houston Rockets voting from the Chinese fans again. Lol....I knew that was gonna happen and I predicted it during the offseason. I missed seeing former Rockets players like Aaron Brooks, Tracy McGrady, and Shane Battier get a huge amount of votes on those ballots.
