Sixers have really good chemistry this year. Paul George better not screw it up.

I can't remember a game ever starting at 11 pm eastern time ... Is this a thing now w/ Amazon or is this a one off?

The game is on NBC/Peacock, because there is an East/West setup. NBC starts primetime programming at 8pm (est)/8pm (pst).

Anybody interested the Allen Iverson documentary on Prime is a pretty good watch.

Had no idea Iverson was the #1 prospect in the country in both basketball and football.

I'm on episode 2 right now

Tonight is a cake walk but we destroyed Memphis and beat the Knicks. And tonight, we're cruising without Powell and Herro.

Kuzma looks like the best post defender ever on KAT

It's an NBC single game. The other game is on Peacock. They're not really expecting a lot of people on the East coast to watch.

It looked like 4 or 5 steps to me. The NBA is too lax about this stuff and players get away with it all the time.

Gather, 1... 2.

It's a travel, although it looks worse than it is. Giannis is good at advancing with the live dribble and his hand on the side of the ball. The 3-4 steps he took while the ball was rotating in his hand looked wrong but that's legal.

It's travel though imo because his steps start at the gather, but the gather is not when his 2nd hand touches the ball though, it's when the ball is controlled by the player. In this case, the ball stops spinning in his hand (signaling control and end of dribble) and he takes 4 steps after that.

It looks egregious, but technically by the book it's not as crazy as it looks.

Kolek looks bad out there. Here's hoping Deuce gets back soon.
