The announcers? They are horrible.

Nice effort by the wolves in though. KAT is a beast.

Yeah, particularly the secondary guy. KAT looks great, but Wiggins Im not sure about he looks the type of player to average around 20 with a ridiculous usage rate and bad shooting percentage.

Yeah Wiggins is interesting. Over 7 free throws per is eye popping. I think the 3 pointer should come eventually. I'm still high on Wiggins for the future.

Can't wait for this dubs v Spurs. Hope we see a bit of Leonard v Curry, even Leonard v Green would be great.

Warriors look like there on another level tonight. So hard to defend.

Cousins with 56 points... Most by a player this season surpassing Curry and Butler's 53.

Fouled out in the second overtime, finishes with 56.

jah punches fan in boston who harasses him from game all the way to club.

blake griffin punches team employee after dinner, breaks hand. (story not completely out, yet)

which is worse?


IMO the jah story was stretched so far and the only thing that really irked me was the "WE GOT MONEY" thing. the blake thing may be worse because that's a guy all the players deal with daily, esp. if he is eating with them?

i don't know, i guess we'll wait and see. but i figured this was the best way to bring up blake by relating him to the sixers somehow.

Rough night for the Charlotte big men, and by Charlotte big men I mean Spencer Hawes.

It is nice to see a big guy put up 56 points at this day in age. I'm not a fan of the small ball, Golden State type play to be honest.

and Kendall Marshal collecting DNP's, power walking in our "pace" offense and having his dad pull the race card on the organization to justify him not playing. LOL.

Cut one of these fools and bring in McRae. we drafted him, worth a look over either of those bums.

Dennis Schröder is probably the perfect long term PG for Kristaps. Teague just seems like a rush it move for NY

Is it me or is Byron Scott using the Doug Collins playbook from the Evan Turner Experience to coach D-Lo? And they complain about the way the Sixers handle their young players.

Russell seems a diva by all accounts. I don't blame lal or even byron for trying to knock a little of that out of him, and get him hungry and working hard.

But byron is still terrible.

It's amazing, Steph struggling in the first half against the Mavs with 3 points, but Klay is there to pick up the slack with 26 points in the first half.

IDK man. How do you bench your 2nd overall pick for "trying to take over a game"?
Isn't that what you want out of a high pick? Someone who tries to take over and dominate games?

Diva and LA go hand in hand. Its essentially that "swag" that likely persuaded LA to draft him over the likes of Okafor in the 1st place. Now its an issue when he's trying to make his mark?


Seems like its just a bad marriage between the 2. They should have picked Okafor.
