I can't stand Waiters. Dude had KD on the wing to create with a short shot clock but he decides to dance with the ball and takes a tough stepback that doesn't even hit iron smh

Waiters makes me want to vomit everytime I see him play. He is an extremely SELFISH player.

Donovan taking Russ out of the game early in the 3rd for like 6 minutes might have cost OKC this game. They had like a 10-12 point lead and as soon as Russ was out Rockets went on a run to pretty much tie the game up. I don't think that would've had happened had Russ continued to play. But probably also coincided with Waiters lol

Bad shot by KD damn. Hit all glass and gave the Rockets the ball back.

Westbrook is bordering a walking triple double. Should have called a timeout after the offensive rebound though, they had poor positioning to get off a shot.

The King had some sweet dunks tonight. Even with the bad back he still is so athletic.

Towns is gonna be special. He's like a centre version of Anthony Davis.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Grizzlies have such a great core. They need more scoring which the front office have yet to get. These offensive lulls are hard to watch while they control the tempo so well.

Wiggins is looking like a bust. He's so overrated I don't get what people see with him. He's got a poor attitude, lazy, and is awful offensively.

OT:

Why is is a recovery of a blocked shot considered a rebound?

I could have sworn it never counted as a rebound.

People have short memories. Last half of last season he was beasting. It shut people up for a while because people don't like to actually defend their viewpoints. Then they come out of the woodwork whenever there's a short period where it looks like they'd be safe to get away with exaggerated BS.
