>> ON TODAY'S SHOW WE OFFICIALLY
KICK OFF THE RUSSELL WESTBROOK 
FOR M.V.P. CAMPAIGN. 
>> IN THE BONES JOAN BRENT BARRY
JOINS US TO DISCUSS THE TRADE 
WINNERS AND LOSERS 
>> AND WHAT A WEEKEND FOR 
WHOOPIS.
THE BEST OF THE WORST.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD.
"THE STARTERS" STARTS RIGHT NOW.
>> GOOD DAY SWEET WORLD AND 
WELCOME "THE STARTERS".
WHETHER KRAOUR LISTENING TO THE 
PODCAST FOR CATCHING US ON NBA 
TV WE HAVE A FUN SHOW FOR YOU.
WE HAVE YOUR WEEKEND WHOOPSIES.
IT IS FILL IN THE BLANK.
WE HAD A LOT OF GUYS GET THEIR 
DEBUTS AFTER THE POST TRADE 
LINE.
WE ASK TO YOU PLAY ALONG.
FILL IN THE BLANK THE BEST POST 
TRADE DEADLINE DEBUT WAS REGGIE 
JACKSON OF THE DETROIT PISTONS.
THE STORY THAT JUST COMES ALONG 
WITH IT.
I MEAN HE STARTED OFF SO COLD 
GOING 0-8 BUT HE HAD NERVES.
HE'S FINALLY GOT HIS OWN TEAM 
THAT HE CAN RUN AND IT SHOWED ON
THE BASKETBALL FLOOR.
CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLANK.
IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD.
THIS ENDED LIKE JAMIE FOXX ON 
ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
AND IT HAPPENS.
HE JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT AND
AFTER THAT HE WENT 7-10.
JUST SO MANY NERVES.
17-5-5.
VERY GOOD AFTER THAT VOMIT 
SESSION.
BUT THEY'RE HUMANE AND JUST LIKE
US.
I'S SUCH AN INTERESTING SIN 
NARROW.
WHAT'S GOING TO GO ON IN 
BETROEUT AND REGGIE JACKSON AND 
BRENDON JENNINGS. 
>> I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GOING 
TO BE A GOOD FIT WITH BRANDON 
JENNINGS AND REGGIE JACKSON.
BUT BRANDON IS COMING BACK FROM 
ACHILLES INJURY AND THAT TAKES 
TIME.
WE WAS KOBE HE WASN'T GREAT 
COMING BACK.
SO REGGIE SRABG JACKSON HAS A 
LITTLE BIT OF THIS YEAR AND 
LITTLE BIT OF NEXT YEAR.
>> HE LOOKED GREAT AFTER HE 
VOMITED AND IT WAS GREAT THAT 
THEY PLAYED THE WIZARDS BECAUSE 
THEY ARE STRUGGLING. 
>> STAN VAN GUNDY NEEDED TO GET 
HIS LEGS UNDERNEATH HIM.
I KNOW IT'S A BIT OF A CLICHE 
WHEN A GUY SEES THE BALL COME IN
HE PLAYS A LITTLE BIT LOOSER.
PLAYING AGAINST THE WASHINGTON 
WIZARDS, THEY HAVE TO GET THAT 
WIN AND IT'S IMPORTANT BIN FOR 
THE PISTONS BECAUSE THEY'RE IN 
THAT RACE FOR THE PLAYOFFS.
SO THAT'S A BIG WIN FOR THEM.
>> THAT GUY NEVER LACKS 
CONFIDENCE.
REGGIE JACKSON WILL ALWAYS HAVE 
CONFIDENCE.
THE WEIGHT OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND
OUT OF HIS STOMACH, WHATEVER IT 
WAS, IT JUST HELPED GETTING THAT
VOMIT.
I BELIEVE THAT THIS GUY COULD BE
A STARTER WITH STAN VAN GUNDY'S 
HELP. 
>> WE'LL FIND OUT.
>> A TEAM HE TRADED FROM FROM 
THEIR NEW GUYS ENIS KANTER, WE 
SAW HIM TWICE PUTTING UP 
DOUBLE-DOUBLES AND FANTASTIC ON 
SUNDAY AGAINST THE NUGGETS 
20-12.
YES, THEY'RE PLAYING -- THEY 
WERE PLAYING THE HORNETS AND THE
NUGGETS.
TWO TEAMS ALSO STRUGGLING JUST 
LIKE THE WIZARDS, BUT WHAT I 
LOVED WAS THE LITTLE 1-2 GAME.
HE'S ALREADY GOING WITH A GUY 
LIKE RUSSELL WESTBROOK.
ON SUNDAY AGAINST DENVER FIVE OF
THE BUCKETS COMING DIRECTLY 
BECAUSE OF WESTBROOK.
LOT OF PICK AND ROLL ACTION.
HE DARTS TO THE FRONT OF THE 
ROOM AND LIKES TO WORK INSIDE 
AND HE LIKE THE CHEMISTRY 
ALREADY.
THIS TEAM, WE TALKED ABOUT IT, 
THEY HAVE SOME DEPTH.
SCOTTIE BROOKS HAS A BENCH NOW 
AND WE'LL GET TO THE DURANT 
STUFF IN A SECOND.
BUT JUST A MUCH BETTER 
BASKETBALL TEAM. 
>> I SHOWED YOU HOW GOOD RUSSELL
WESTBROOK IS THAT CAN HE HAVE A 
GUY STEP IN AND HAVE CHEMISTRY 
AND HOW EASY HE MAKES IT FOR 
EVERYBODY ELSE ON THE THUNDER TO
GET SHOTS AND JUST ROLL INTO THE
BASKET.
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS 
KNOW WHERE YOU NEED TO BE. 
>> LET'S GET TO RUSS. 
>> RUSSELL WESTBROOK IS PUTTING 
UP CRAZY NUMBERS.
#"THE STARTERS", 
>> THEY'RE SLIM.
THEY'RE FAT BOY SLIM.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 
WAY HE'S PLAYING RIGHT NOW.
IT'S FUN TO WATCH.
EVEN BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED I
THOUGHT THE OKC THUNDER COULD 
GET OVER THE LINE.
HE'S GUYS ARE COMING INTO THEIR 
PRIME SPECIFICALLY WESTBROOK AND
DURANT.
WHY SHOULDN'T HE GET BETTER.
HE'S TRYING TO LEAD A LITTLE BIT
MORE AND AS HE DID THIS WEEKEND 
MY GOD HE LED 21 POINTS WITH 17 
ASSISTS AGAINST THE NUGGETS 
BEATING THE HORNETS AS WELL.
I LOVE THE WAY -- YOU MENTION 
THE BENCH AND GETTING INVOLVED 
AND GETTING EVERYBODY INVOLVED, 
THAT'S WHAT HE'S DOING 
THROUGHOUT HIS ENTIRE 48 MINUTES
OF PLAY OF THE HE'S JUST LOOKING
TO GET EVERYTHING GOING.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE TWO MAJOR 
THINGS GOING AGAINST HIM.
HE HASN'T PLAYED ENOUGH.
THAT'S THE LOWEST TOTAL OF GAMES
FOR AN M.V.P. WINNER.
THE AVERAGE WINNER IS ONE THAT 
WON 56 GAMES.
AND REALISTICALLY THEY'RE GOING 
TO WIN 50.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
AS NEW TEAMMATE SAID, IT HAS TO 
DO WITH WHERE YOU ARE IN THE 
STANDINGS.
ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE FOR A GUY 
WHO IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE 
STANDINGS WHEN YOU LOOK AT A GUY
LIKE HARDEN OR CURRY WHO ARE 
WINNING 80% OF THE GAMES.
>> WHEN HE'S PLAYING, HE'S AS 
GOOD AS HARDEN AND STEPH CURRY 
WHO ARE THE TWO FAVORITES AND 
SECOND IN LEAGUE IN SCORING AND 
SECOND IN STEALS AND FIFTH IN 
ASSISTS AND WHEN HE'S OUT THERE 
HE'S PRODUCING.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE GAMES 
MISSED I DON'T THINK THAT'S 
GOING TO BE SUCH A BIG FACTOR 
THAT THE VOTERS WILL SAY HE 
HASN'T PLAYED ENOUGH AND 
EFFECTIVE ENOUGH WHEN ON THE 
FLOOR.
I ACTUALLY THINK HE'S A 
REASONABLY GOOD CHANCE TO PULL 
IN AS MANY VOTES.
>> HE'S HELPED HERE BY THE K.D. 
INJURIES IN AND OUT OF THE 
LINE-UP AND NOW OUT AGAIN TO 
REPAIR THE FOOT THERE.
BUT MARC GASOL IS UP THERE AND 
LEBRON JAMES WILL PROBABLY BE 
BACK IN THE MIX WITH THE CAVS 
SHOOTING UP THE WIN-LOSS RECORD.
I THINK MAYBE HE GETS IN THE TOP
FIVE BUT HE WON'T SURPASS.
YOU JUST WENT OVER THE NUMBERS. 
>> THE INJURY DEFINITELY HELPS, 
THE DURANT INJURY.
DWIGHT HOWARD HAS PLAYED JUST AS
MANY GAMES AS KEVIN DURANT.
WESTBROOK IS A LITTLE BIT BELOW 
THOSE TWO BECAUSE OF HARDEN AND 
CURRY I'M TALKING ABOUT -- IT'S 
THE WESTERN CONFERENCE AND THOSE
TWO TEAMS ARE AT THE TOP OF THE 
WESTERN CONFERENCE.
THE THUNDER ARE AT THE BOTTOM.
THEY HAVEN'T WON ENOUGH.
>> I'M NOT SO WORRIED ABOUT 
KEVIN DURANT'S INJURY AND NOT A 
DOCTOR, BUT THE SCREW IS IN 
THERE SO YOU HAVE A FOREIGN 
OBJECT IN THE FOOT IT'S GOING TO
AGGRAVATE SOMETHING ELSE.
I HAVE SCREWS IN MY KNEE BUT THE
SURGE ONTOLD ME WE MAY HAVE TO 
REMOVE THESE SCREWS BECAUSE IT'S
IN YOUR BODY.
IT'S NOT AFFECTING THE BONE 
WHATSOEVER.
IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT HELPS
RUSSELL WESTBROOK I THINK 
ANTHONY DAVIS CERTAINLY HELPS.
YOU MAY HAVE VOTED FOR HIM IF 
THE PELICANS GOT INTO THE 
PLAYOFFS BUT THAT'S UNLIKELY TO 
HAPPEN WITH ANTHONY DAVIS.
>> THE PELICANS NOT A GREAT 
WEEKEND FOR THEM.
ANTHONY DAVIS AT LEAST A WEEK OR
TWO.
RYAN ANDERSON A COUPLE OF WEEKS 
AND THEY'RE WITH O.K.C. PUTTING 
TOGETHER ALL THESE WINS SIX 
STRAIGHT AND TWO BACK FROM THE 
THUNDER AND LOOKS LIKE THE 
THUNDER WILL GET THAT FINAL SPOT
AND CATCH THE SPURS.
STILL LOTS OF TIME OF COURSE. 
>> THEY CAN BEAT ANYBODY. 
>> ONE MORE FILL IN THE BLANK.
HERE IT IS, CHRIS BOSH, 
UNFORTUNATE NEWS HE'S OUT FOR 
THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON OF 
THE HE'S OUT FOR THE SEASON IS 
BLANK. 
>> IT'S SEASON ENDING FOR THE 
MIAMI HEAT.
I STILL THINK THEY MAKE THE 
PLAYOFFS BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING 
TO BE A THREAT TO ANYBODY.
BUT FIRST, IT KIND OF SEEMS A 
LITTLE BIT ODD TO TALK ABOUT 
BASKETBALL WITH HIM WHEN THE MAN
IS RECOVERING AND EVERYTHING 
THAT'S HAPPENED RECENTLY WITH 
JEROME KERRSY'S PASSING AND 
SERENA WILLIAMS WITH THE SAME 
SITUATION.
CHRIS BOSH INSTAGRAMING THAT 
HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
AND HE'S GOING TO BATTLE 
THROUGH.
SO I THINK THEY'RE MAKING THE 
POSTSEASON.
BUT THEY'RE NOT A THREAT TO 
ANYBODY AT THE TOP.
THEY MIGHT PUSH THE BALL A 
LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE THEY'RE 
SO SMALL AND DON'T HAVE THE BIG 
MAN TO SLOW IT DOWN.
BUT WITH GORAN DRAGIC AND DWAYNE
WADE IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT 
MORE FUN THESE LAST 25 GAMES BUT
CHRIS MEANS TOO MUCH. 
>> AND WADE IS LIKERY TO SIT OUT
AS WELL BECAUSE THAT'S HOW 
THEY'RE MAINTAIN HIS HEALTH.
BUT WHITESIDE IS A GREAT STORY 
BUT YOU WONDER IF HE CAN HANDLE 
THE EXTRA WORK LOAD.
HE'LL HAVE TO GET THE BALL DOWN 
THERE AND HAVE TO TRY TO GET 
SOMETHING LIKE MORE FROM HIM. 
>> GORAN DRAGIC HE MADE HIS 
DEBUT FOR THE HEAT AFTER THE 
TRADE DEADLINE AND STRUGGLED A 
LITTLE BIT AT TIMES.
FROM WHAT YOU SAW IMPRESSED FROM
THE DRAGON? 
NOT REALLY SURPRISED BEING SORT 
OF THE FIRST GAME THERE WITH 
THEM?
>> IF THEY'RE PLAYING WITH THESE
UGLY UNIFORMS I WANT THEM TO 
LOSE.
>> IT'S ONE GAME.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
DWAYNE WADE WILL EMBRACE IT AND 
GORAN WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE 
BALL AND GO.
I THINK ERIK SPOELSTRA WILL GIVE
THEM THE GREEN LIGHT AND IT WILL
BE FUN TO WATCH THESE TWO. 
>> PISTONS, HORNETS ALL EIGHT 
AND HALF BACK.
AND NOT MUCH BACK OF THE HEAT.
WHEN WE RETURN, BRENT BARRY 
JOINS US IN THE BONE ZONE TO 
DISCUSS HIS TRADE DEADLINE 
WINNERS AND LOSERS.
COME ON BACK.
YOU'RE WATCHING "THE STARTERS".
>> BACK ON "THE STARTERS" INTO 
THE BONE ZONE JOINED BY TWO-TIME
NBA CHAMP BRENT BARRY. 
>> HEY, GUYS.
YOU RECOVER --
>> THESE ARE NEW CHAIRS. 
>> LITTLE SQUEAKY IF YOU MOVE 
TOO MUCH.
>> YOU GET EVERYTHING.
>> YOU RECOVERED FROM ALL-STAR 
WEEKEND?
>> YOU GUYS KNOW ME.
I'M NOT A NIGHT OWL THAT WAY, 
BUT I ENJOYED BEING IN THE CITY.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
WE GOT A CHANCE TO GO DO SOME 
COOL STUFF THAT WE END UP 
CALLING WORK. 
>> EXACTLY. 
>> THIS IS OUR JOB SOMEHOW.
WELL, LAST THURSDAY, AFTER 
ALL-STAR WEEKEND NEARLY 10% OF 
THE LEAGUE -- 10% OF THE PLAYERS
WERE BASICALLY TRADED.
IT WAS CRAZY.
PLAYERS JUMPING AROUND AND 
WANTED TO GET YOUR OPINION ON 
THE CRAZINESS OF THE TRADE 
DEADLINE AND START WITH SIMPLY 
FROM ALL THE DEALS WHAT WAS YOUR
MOST FAVORITE DEAL OR WHAT DEAL 
MADE THE MOST SENSE TO YOU?
>> NONE OF THEM INVOLVED US SO 
THAT'S GOOD.
WE'RE STILL HERE AND WORKING.
I THINK WHAT O.K.C. DID AND 
MPRE SAMPRESSY PULL OFF A GREAT 
TRADE BRINGING IN THE PIECES TO 
ADD TO THE ROSTER.
GO BACK AND THINK WHAT THEY WERE
MADE UP OF LAST YEAR.
IT WAS DEREK FISHER AND CARON 
BUTLER AND THAT BE BOW SEF SEF 
AND JEREMY LAMB WHO WASN'T 
PLAYING A TON OF MINUTES AND 
NICK COLLISON WHO ENDED UP 
STARTING BECAUSE OF SERGE 
IBAKA'S INJURY AND THEY BRING IN
THE PLAYERS NOW WHO ARE GOING TO
GET SIGNIFICANT MINUTES AND HAVE
30 GAMES TO GET TO KNOW WHAT 
IT'S LIKE TO PLAY WITH KEVIN 
DURANT AND RUSSELL WESTBROOK AND
THE SKILLSET THESE GUYS BRING TO
THAT TEAM TO MAKE THEM SO MUCH 
MORE DYNAMIC ON THE OFFENSIVE 
END, I THINK THAT'S WHERE I FEEL
LIKE SAM DID A GREAT JOB OF 
PROVIDING SOME RELIEF FOR THEM 
OFFENSIVELY.
WHEN YOU GOT A GUY LIKE D.J. 
AUGUSTINE WHO CAN PLAY ALONGSIDE
RUSSELL WESTBROOK AND DION 
WAITERS THEY BROUGHT IN WELL 
BEFORE THE TRADE DEADLINE TO 
ADDRESS THEIR WING SCORER, AND 
KANTER ON THE INSIDE AND ACTUAL 
POST-UP OPTION THAT CAN GIVE YOU
POINTS IN THE PAINT AND STOP 
POSSESSIONS BY GOING INSIDE AND 
ATTACKING SOMEBODY DEFENSIVELY 
AND HAVING HIM SCORE DOWN THERE 
WHICH IS A LUXURY THEY HAVE NOT 
HAD.
MOST OF THE GUYS PERKINS AND 
ADAMS JUST DEFENSE I HAVE AND 
NOW THEY HAVE KANTER WHO CAN DO 
THAT?
>> AND THIS HE HAVE ALL THESE 
FOUR GUY COMING FROM THE TWO 
TEAMS --
>> IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES. 
>> FOR A GUY WHO LIKELY WILL TO 
LEAVE ANYWAY IF THEY WERE GOING 
TO COME TO A DEAL. 
>> REGGIE JACKSON TURNED DOWN 
$12 MILLION BEFORE THE SEASON 
STARTED SO O.K.C. WAS BACK IN 
THE SAME SCENARIO WHERE THEY 
OFFERED A DEAL UP AND SAID WE 
THINK THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE AT 
AND THIS ISN'T WHAT YOU WANT TO 
DO THEN WE'LL HAVE TO EXPLORE 
SOME THINGS. 
>> YOU LIKE THAT DEAL FOR THE 
THUNDER.
WHAT ABOUT AFTER THE TRADE 
DEADLINE THAT HAPPENED, WHAT 
DEAL MADE THE LEAST SENSE TO 
YOU? 
YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY SOMETIMES
SOME OF THE SIDE DEALS THAT ARE 
MADE, WHY TEAMS ARE DOING THAT, 
BUT THE DENVER NUGGETS' DEALS 
WERE HEAD SCRATCHERS TO ME.
THEY GET RID OF AARON TPHRAF LOW
WHO WAS THEIR LEADING SCORER WHO
PULLED OFF GREAT DEPTH TO THEIR 
TEAM.
THEY TALKED ABOUT THEIR BENCH 
LACKING SCORE.
SO I LOVE THAT ARRON AFFLALO AND
HE'S A GOOD DEFENDER AND 
SOMETIMES WILL POST UP AND HAVE 
AN OPTION.
BUT BACK TO DENVER OBVIOUSLY 
THEY TALKED ABOUT DEVELOPING 
THEIR YOUNGER PLAYERS, GARY 
HARRIS WHO WAS A HIGH DRAFT 
CHOICE, HE'S GOING TO PLAY.
WILL BARTON CAME OVER FROM 
PORTLAND AND HE'LL PROBABLY PLAY
MINUTES BECAUSE HE COMPETES AND 
QUESTIONS AND EFFORT THIS 
YEAR -- ABOUT EFFORT IN DENVER 
THIS YEAR AND WILL BARTON GO OUT
AND DO THESE THINGS, BUT FOR 
BRIAN SHAW AND THE NUGGETS THE 
SUMMER IS WHERE THEY'LL LOOK FOR
FLEXIBILITY AND BOUGHT OUT 
ROBINSON AND CLAY VARY SO 
THEY'RE NOT ON ROSTER.
SO HEAD SCRATCHER AS WHICH 
DIRECTION THEY'RE GOING AND THEY
DIDN'T BOTTOM OUT AND REVAMP THE
ROSTER BRINGING IN A STAR GUY.
THAT HE A BIT OF A HEAD
SCRATCHER. 
>> ONE THING WE WANTED TO 
ADDRESS TO YOU, TREY VERSUS LEE 
IN THE "THE STARTERS" DUNK 
CONTEST.
TREY WITH THE UPSET VICTORY. 
>> I DON'T KNOW IF UPSET IS THE 
WORD.
RIGHTING A WRONG IS THE WORD. 
>> THOSE WEREN'T BAD.
>> THAT'S MY BRENT BARRY. 
>> THIS ONE WASN'T MY BEST. 
>> THIS IS NOT A TEN FOOT NET. 
>> IT IS TEN FEET BUT NOT 
ACTUALLY THERE. 
>> WE'RE SHOWING THE BEST OF THE
BEST.
>> YOU GUYS DON'T HANG UP THERE.
>> WE GOT -- STICKER!
>> HELLO!
>> WE GOT TOLD NOT TO HANG ON 
THE RIM TOO. 
>> THAT AFFECTED IT.
>> THERE IT WAS. 
>> THE CUPCAKE DIDN'T WORK SO 
WELL.
>> WAS THAT A SECOND JUMP TO 
BLOW --
>> HE JUMPED 
>> THERE'S INTERESTING EDITING 
IN THAT. 
>> THAT WAS INTERESTING EDITING 
IN THAT ONE.
>> THERE WERE THREE CANDLES ON 
THERE.
I TRIED TO JAZZ IT UP.
>> WERE YOU A LITTLE UPSET WITH 
BONES BECAUSE OF THE PROP THAT 
DIDN'T COME THROUGH. 
>> I WANTED TO USE THE JACKET 
THAT YOU WORE IN 1996 BUT IT 
DIDN'T COME THROUGH BUT YOU GAVE
ME THE SOX AND I WORE THOSE 
>> THEY DIDN'T WORK. 
>> YOU WERE UPSET WITH ME 
BECAUSE THE JACKET DIDN'T COME 
THROUGH, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M
HEARING THAT RIGHT. 
>> I WAS EMOTIONALLY GETTING 
READY TO THROW DOWN THE DUNK IN 
THE JACKET AND DIDN'T DO IT.
>> IT WAS SO GREAT TO WALK BY 
THE OFFICE IN THE BACK AND 
HEARING BRENT SAY, SORRY, LEE, I
COULDN'T COME UP WITH THAT 
JACKET FOR YOU.
HE WAS SO DISAPPOINTED.
BUT HE GAVE YOU THE SOX. 
>> THANK YOU BECAUSE I TOLD LEE 
THE SITUATION WITH -- 
>> YOU DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN 
YOURSELF --
>> AND NOW HE'S STILL 
DISAPPOINTED HARBORING ANGER.
>> EVERY MONDAY I'M GOING TO 
WEAR THE SOX.
>> LEE HAS ON THE SOX.
>> I'M HOPEFUL THAT YOU WASHED 
THOSE SOX OTHERWISE I'LL CALL MY
FRIENDS AND GET ANOTHER PAIR FOR
YOU.
EVERY WEEK ALTERNATIVE PAIRS.
>> EVERY MONDAY. 
>> CONGRATULATIONS. 
>> THANKS, BRENT. 
>> SO NOW YOU'RE 1-1? 
IN TORONTO?
>> YES, LOCK IT IN. 
>> INTERNATIONAL FLAYER. 
>> YOU MIGHT BE THE RUSSIAN 
JUDGE.
SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE ON TREY'S 
SIDE.
>> HOPEFULLY I WON'T DISAPPOINT.
>> GET THAT JACKET FOR ME. 
>> HOLY CRAP. 
>> WHEN WE RETURN, DO NOT WALK 
YOUR DOG NEAR JOHN WALL.
>> IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME FOR 
WEEKEND WHOOPSIES.
>> SOMEONE GETS CAUGHT YOU 
WALKING THE DOG.
>> KYRIE IRVING GETS SWOOPED BY 
JOHN WALL.
>> WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DIVE. 
>> DOESN'T LIKE IT ON THE SIDE. 
>> ALMOST LIKE A LOOSE FOOTBALL 
ON THE GROUND.
JOHN WALL. 
>> HE CALLS TIMEOUT.
WHAT A PLAY. 
>> THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE.
FRIDAY, JASON RICHARDSON.
FIRST SHOT IN TWO YEARS.
YOU CAN TELL.
OOH!
THIS GUY HASN'T PLAYED 
PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL GAME IN 
OVER 750 DAYS.
BUT HE GOT IT GOING. 
>> THIS IS A SOLID WHOOPSY.
HE GETS HIS HAND ON THE BALL AND
IT POPS RIGHT IN.
I FEEL BAD BECAUSE HE IS PLAYING
D. 
>> THAT'S WHAT HE GETS. 
>> AH, SMITH, PLAYING FANTASTIC 
BALL FOR THE CAVS AND GETS THE 
KICK BALL AGAINST THE WIZARDS.
WATCH THE PASS.
THE CASUAL LOOK AND PWOEUPBG. 
>> HERE'S ANOTHER CAV'S TOSS.
LEBRON TOSSES IT ON THE HEAD OF 
KEVIN LOVE.
GREAT REACTION.
DOESN'T REALLY ENJOY IT.
>> I LIKE THAT HE FELT BAD. 
>> SEEING HE LOVES KEVIN LOVE 
JUST LIKE HE LOVED CHRIS BOSH.
>> A GREAT WEEKEND FOR THE OLD 
VIDEO BOMB.
CHECK OUT THIS KID BEHIND JOE 
MARTIN.
WHAT'S UP? 
AND THEN LAKERS ON SUNDAY JEREMY
LIN GETS PHOTO BOMBED.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.  I LIKE TO
THINK THAT THEY'RE DOING THIS IN
HONOR OF CHRIS BOSH.
GET BETTER, BOSH.
THE KING. 
>> ONE MORE.
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO INCLUDE 
IT.
WE GOT TO GET IT IN.
RICHARD JEFFERSON'S VERY 
OFFENSIVE DUNK ON MICHAEL KID 
GIL CYST.
HE NEARLY KILLS M.K.G. 
OLS OFFENSIVE BECAUSE THEY 
CALLED THE OFFENSIVE FOUL.
LOOK AT THE BENCH FOR THE 
HORNETS. 
>> LANCE STEPHENSON, CANNOT 
BELIEVE IT.
>> HE STILL PLAYS? 
HE CAN STILL DO THAT? 
IT'S A DECENT BALL. 
>> THAT'S WHERE THE REF SHOULD 
SAY, COME ON.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO LOSE A GAME
OVER IT IT.
>> DOES THAT MAKE "THE STARTERS"
TOP TEN?
>> I CAN'T REVEAL ANY SECRETS 
UNTIL FRIDAY.
>> WE SHOW YOU EVERY WEDGY THAT 
HAPPENS IN THE NBA.
WE HAVE ONE OF THE CANADIAN 
VARIETY.

HINRICH AND TAJ GIBSON IS OUT

GRAB HIM IF YOU CAN.
YOU MENTIONED THE TRADE DEADLINE
