Friday 4/1 Game Thread

[MotownMadness]

I can't imagine shelling out my hard earned money at the beginning of the season for the OKC Detroit game only to witness both their g league teams playing. Fans should be able to get their money back - they didn't pay to see this.

Why the hell would you even bother playing Cade at all tonight if you're gonna pull this nonsense and just put a dent in his overall season avgs? Friggin stupid purposely held out Bey, Stewart and Cade trying to tank after a few mins of action.

Why was Jenkins tossed?

Refs are trying to help Phoenix stay in this game. Watched Jon Konchar get tackled and then called a nothing touch for CP3.

I don't embrace conspiracies but I've never seen that many Ts in a short time span without a fight/flagrant foul/Rasheed level verbal assault on refs.

They didn't need to call all those techs, but brooks was screaming and jumping a couple plays before that, and then Jenkins stormed out to half court yelling at the lady ref.

Pretty well know lady refs don't take much ****

Thank God Luka got hot to end the 3rd and covered my prop bet then (by a half point). He'll be sitting the rest with them getting blown out tonight (to the Wizards...).

Lol watch the magic come back now and show me.

Our best player left in a minute into the game with injury. Our second best player is hurt and isn't playing. What exactly do you expect?

You’re 20-57. This isn’t a “tonight” problem.

The number of gambling ads during NBA games is gross.

Sorry to sound like an old man

I agree. I've been into sports betting since it was grimy and a cold mans game. I don't like them hooking the teeny boppers into it.

[GeorgeSears]

Not a must-win for us thanks to Raps, but it would be nice to put away the Twolves.

Luka is going to have 40 pts and still get blown out

[Vampirate]

Wow, a win is a win, but looking at the score in that 4th quarter is ugly.

Bench really gave us nothing.

Yeah we are trash. We blew up the team last year and got screwed in the lotto. Again, what did you expect?

Bench is nothing but bigs...When Nurse goes to this centerless starting group, the entire bench is made up of power forwards and centers.

Im surprised suicides and stuff arent up with how easy you can gamble now on your phone. I used to have to drive all the way downtown to lose my paycheck at the Casino's. Now you can lose a ton in a second on the comfort of your own couch.

I used to be addicted to playing poker until i realized my wins were not making up for all my losses at all.

Was hoping more from ex Raptor people.

I do like Wagner. And I’d take Bamba.

I miss the penny, nick andweson, Dennis Scott, Horace grant, Shaq magic.

[C64]

To heck with beating the Suns tonite, I wanna beat the damn refs now.
It will be no surprise to me when(not if) Dillon is also tossed out of the game.

And with that ... I'm done complaining about it.

I mean, you got Franz Wagner anyways are are about to get another top 10 draft pick this year so *shrugs* cheer up.

Also by the sounds of it your team would've drafted Suggs if you landed in 4th regardless, hindsight being 20-20.

You guys will probably be something in a few years with Wagner + this years draft pick as building blocks?

I'm not strictly anti-betting but I think smart phone style betting, backed by mass advertising is going to prove to be a disaster on par with the creation of the cigarettes. This is a good article about the impact of casinos on local communities: almost all negative.

Imagine how bad it would be without the play-in...the whole last week of the season would be unwatchable (like it was before).
