It's on NBAtv, so someone SHOULD at least be able to stream it.

Daniel Orton picked up by the Sixers, played them in the UK last week, that's a good situation, hopefully he can get some court time

It doesn't look like it's blacked out.

The Rockets commentators were easily the worst ever. Especially Clyde.

Yeah, not a Magic fan (just poking around team forums), but was watching and from a neutral observer, they're awful/obnoxious.

Yeah, they kept acting as if the Magic were trying to hurt guys out there. They said Nelson intentionally shoved Beverley, and that Afflalo and O'Quinn committed two flagrant fouls even though were just regular to hard fouls.

They also acted as if Harden and Dwight were the two best players in the NBA (but I'll give them a pass on that one because they're clearly excited about their chances to get back to the finals).

But the way they reacted to some calls you would've thunk it was the finals. Lol.

It was a good game though when I finally muted my T.V. Halfway thru the 3rd.

Wow.. I see what you mean. These are 2 of the most uneducated TV announcers in the league.

It's as if Clyde still hates us from '94 Smh. Very ignorant. Worse than Reggie Miller.

One thing I've noticed in this game: Nik really played Dwight well on defense. Very promising that he was very physical with Dwight. Dare I even say he got into Dwight 's head.

Also, Victor looked tired. IDK if it was hip related, but his shots definitely were affect by something other than his form. His shooting mechanic was on point. His lift looked low tonight.

AddiFB · Post #1296 » by **AddiFB** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 10:20 am

His shot was uncharacteristically off, so was his lift and speed. He might have been favoring an injury or just tired. Did he get hit by someone during the game? I read somewhere Beverly and Dipo crashed into eachother or something.

They did run into each other and he was favoring his hip earlier in the game.

No no, according to Clyde his form is bad and he should spend the rest of his career fixing it. Or some such drivel. Sorry, I'm still annoyed.

Another prime example of how messed up the world is. Idiots like him that can't do their job well getting paid thousands for absolutely no reason.

smh

Well in their defense, they don't know anything about Dipo like we do. They just know what the scouts were saying before the draft (that he couldn't shoot etc). Every jumper he took was way short last night, that to me is a sign of fatigue. We know he can shoot because we know him. I don't however like condescending way he said it, implying there is no way he will ever shot well. Seems like a lot of the former great players have that attitude when they are commenting. Well, should I say commenting, because what he did last nite was blabber non coherent non-sense.
