Basically some players are playing by a completely different set of rules. Lillards whistle is an absolute joke

Just an idiotic scheme. Siakam doesn't have the strength to defend him without help.

They tried Nesmith without luck. They should try Walker IMO.


He's too tall and strong for Jarace as well.

If Bucks don't win in a blowout, they're frauds, theres no reason this game should be close.

More free throws lololol

Raps are attacking the basket with reckless abandon against Denver.

It's going to be ugly for awhile for Denver. They just need to try to get some wins while they figure it out.

They don't have any chemistry with the bench unit and Malone is experimenting heavily with lineups. Whatever they did in preseason wasn't enough. So they're learning on the fly now in real time. It'll improve but it's ugly now.

The starters are playing totally blase like they can just show up and win with no effort.

What hell is going on in Orlando? 37/7/6 at the half? Thought some intern made a typo

That was one of the most embarrassing bench shifts I’ve seen from an NBA team. Multiple blown layups, multiple turnovers, multiple offensive rebounds allowed, missed free throws, absolutely horrible all around. If they’re going to leave MPJ out there with the bench I’d rather he just took every shot until the rest of the starters come back in.

Pritchard about to get a statue outside the Garden.

Can't get his face wrong cause it looks like half of Boston.

Why does Denver year after year have one of the worst benches ever?

I have lost track at how many wide open 3’s the Cavs have missed.

It looks like we're shortening our rotation a bit and that Sheppard is replacing Walker.
