If you're talking about the poll, it's limited to 10 options (5 games). So 7 of tonight's 12 games are not in there unfortunately. Cheers.

As much as I love "Area 51" I have to say "French Vanilla" is an incredible duo's nickname.

Non contact injury for OG. Looked like a hyper extension.

Pelicans are doubling Wemby and forcing the ball out of his hands because the rest of our roster absolutely sucks at shooting open 3's. Same problems we had last year. We're shooting 25% from beyond the arc tonight… gross.

By far the worst game of his career. He looked completely lost tonight. Very strange.

Man, it's gonna be a long year in Memphis. Not sure how they finish over .500 this year.

As one redditor put it,

- 10 seconds left
- down 2
- has 11 points on 0/4 3P
- Wagner has 27
- fadeaway deep three

Are the games on Prime only in the US? In Canada I can’t find any live games at the moment. Doesn’t say anything about Lakers-Wolves. Only upcoming games with sportsnet subscriptions.

I kinda like the Amazon desk setup. Taylor on screen left able to just dish out questions across the table and the guys are good about handing off points to the guy next to him.

ESPN usually has SAS or someone on the far left, then the host and of course the Inside guys have EJ in the middle. Seems like we don't normally see the host on the edge of the screen.

I guess it also works that they have Nash in the center and he can pivot and talk to both sides of the desk.

And our go-to 3s shooters are 0-6 together for a combined 2 points. And getting minutes. While not doing the one thing they're out there for.

As I type, Barnes hits a 3 lol

Yes, just Prime. No other networks are showing games

Excellent response out of this last timeout by the Spurs. Great run.

Kind of interesting that Jason Kidd is really willing to punt on these early games for some mad-scientist ****. Just put PJ Washington on the bench to start the game and play another guard who can handle the ball with AD, Flagg, Lively and Klay.

Mavs have a lot of names on their team, but without Kyrie, there's just little chance they have to beat anyone good. Might be the worst team I've watched this year.

Keyshawn George looks like someone who should have gone top 3 in his draft class last year.
