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

A lot of that core is gone. Fvv, siakam and OG are the only ones that have stayed.

Yeah but Raptors were just a flat out disappointment last year. They weren't trying to rebuild and were supposed to be a playoff team.

Plus those 3 are basically your core you've been using for years now. Just a old Lowry finally got moved.

Siakam is a weird story as well. Went from playing like a All-Star to underperforming and now back to All-Star level.


They were on the road every game in an already different year.

No i know im just saying they weren't really rebuilding but everything just went south for them. I doubt anyone didn't have them marked down as a playoff team entering that year.

Warriors gonna re-take the 3 seed on their day off, nice. Only way this team can jump up in the standings these days.

What the **** are the refs doing 3 technicals in 20 seconds?

Never seen that without a fight

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.

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.

At this point it's already a win for Memphis. They can't win against the best team and the refs with their bench team.

NBA is going to NBA. Must have been really messing up the marketing department's narrative or the gambling department's point spread racket.

I stupidly put a parlay on involving Cade. Didn’t realize Pistons were going to try out tank OKC.

How the **** do they only play Bey and Cade only 7 minutes in the first half? So much for DFS today for **** sakes

What's the deal with the Suns?
I mean they clinched first (Not technically, but ya know...)
At the very least sitting Paul, at his age and with his injury history not to mention curse :P

Well, they're professionals, so there's that.

They'll win and likely cover if they try. Up 3 with that discrepancy in shooting generally finds a way to find it's mean in the 2nd half.

Edit: Just seeing they're sitting all of them now. That hurts. Almost cheap. Their bench is winning though so it might backfire on them.

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?

The NBA is a fking joke now when you can sit so many starters for rest. It’s not like they’re sitting one person it’ll be the whole damn near starting lineup. Taking peoples money

Kidd picks up his first tech since the season opener. Mavs only have themselves to blame for this though. They'd be down even more if the refs weren't on their side this game. Looks like KP is going to get his revenge game.

We have a game coming up against the Pistons too, exactly the type of game we tend to drop

If shelled out money for OKC-DET game, you kinda get what you deserve.
