Warriors got this game locked now

I'm surprised Nets didn't foul up 3. Could have fouled immediately on the catch before the ball got to Iguodala.

Did the Nets just get jobbed? Hollins was calling timeout after the missed Curry layup ..

I don't know if Miami's performance is sustainable. One of the best defenses in the league at one of the slowest paces offensively. They are suffocating and Bosh is inspired but something tells me that Wade, Bosh and their rook can't maintain this for half a season let alone a full season.

Look, if Brooklyn could get it done (and they have better bigs than we do arguably).

When this Raptor team decides to defend, they give themselves the best chance to defeat anybody.

The problem is right now we struggle to score effectively. More ball movement with this group is required. No significant bench presence as of yet either.

But if we are going to do this, VAL needs to be on the floor. If he is in foul trouble and we are forced to play Brick-hands extended minutes, we're screwed.

OKC announcers just told the story of the Raptors-Thunder double OT game where Durant hit the 3pter on us during their broadcast --

talking about Boston's Amir Johnson cause Amir got the putback in regulation to send it to OT

Our losses are highlights for other teams haha

their halftime guys also just called

"Russell Westbrook is the most athletic point guard in NBA history."

I've watched some Pistons games because of the monster numbers Drummond puts up and it's weird watching them - almost seems like the more he dominates, the worse the team does. Part of it is how exploitable he is at end of games (eg. sub 40% FT shooter for his career) but it's a strange thing to observe.

They're in tight against the Lakers tonight and I look at the players on the floor, the Pistons should be crushing them.

Part of it is because of the Pistons lack of bench, but also because of Drummond's lack of passing. Part of the appeal for big men that can shoot a high FG% around the rim is that they magnetize the defense all towards them, which will allow his teammates to benefit from the defensive attention. However for that to happen the big man needs to pass the ball, and with Drummond that doesn't happen. So the Pistons players have to create their own shot on their own merit, not receiving any of the benefit of the defensive attention Drummond is getting.

If Drummond was even an average passer he'd be the best center in the league and a top 3 player.

Brad Stevens is a great coach, look at what the C's are doing to the Rockets.
