I didn’t think it was possible but Cleveland Cavaliers hit another low. Yes, it’s another blowout again by forty points. This time their opponent, Blazers, took them to the playground. Sad faces all around :(

“You’re getting traded! You’re getting traded! You’re getting traded!” -Oprah

One of the craziest trade deadline just ended. Mike Bibby thought he was going to play in the playoffs, he got sent to Washington and will never know how victory feels again. Baron Davis thought he’d be throwing alley-oops to Blake Griffin, Donald Sterling banished him to the worst team in the league for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon. Houston gave up Shane Battier for a scrub Hasheem Thabeet. Houston’s Aaron Brooks switched places with Phoenix’s Goran Dragic. Blazers gave up their only backup center, two no names, two first round draft picks and cash for Gerald Wallace.

Boston wins for the most random and unnecessary trades. Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson got sent to Oklahoma for Jeff Green, Nenad Krstic and 2012 first round pick. Marquis Daniels got sent to Sacramento for cash and second round pick. Both rookies Semih Erden and Luke Harangody got sent to Cleveland for second round pick. Rumor has it they want to free up space to sign Troy Murphy after he gets bought out by Golden State. Congratulations Boston, you now have no front court depth and no longer pose a threat as a great defensive team. If Murphy becomes a Celtic, that will make three new players who can’t defend. The O’Neals are done, they don’t count. All this because they needed a swingman to backup for Pierce and Danny Ainge expected Perkins to walk when he’s a free agent after refusing to sign an extension. And Jeff Green will most likely be a rental just for this season.

Oklahoma is the clear winner in this year’s trade deadline and became a championship contender over night. They add much needed front court depth with Perkins and Nazr Mohammed. Letting Jeff Green go was great for them because they wouldn’t pay him what he wanted, they’re giving that money to Russell Westbrook. I feel sorry for Seattle fans. They got robbed of a future Western Conference Champions and possible dynasty.

Lamarcus Aldridge was snubbed from making this year’s All-star team. Twice. First by the coaches and again by David Stern. Here he seeks payback against Kevin Love for taking his spot.

Looked like a clean play for the ball that just turned ugly. Rudy, welcome to the NBA.

Brandon Roy dunks on Cheikh Samb of the Los Angeles Clippers on January 26, 2009. Roy’s way of saying ‘weclome to America’.

Can’t feel too bad for Joel. It’s just Amare being Amare…

Blazers 6th man Rudy Fernandez gets a perfectly timed alley-oop pass from Sergio Rodriguez.

It’s exciting enough to see Brandon Roy sink a 2-pt jumper with a few seconds left but wait til you see the next few sequences. Truly one of the best finishes in recent history.
