I agree with Jalen during halftime, it's unfortunate as big as a brand as the warriors are, you have key guys out. Cleveland fans not just want to see them in an annual game, but of course you have a bunch of warriors fans all over who marked the date.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

How the **** are you down by 20 against a warriors team missing Klay and Steph? Im not taking this Cavs team serious until they get a real coach.

That Pacer jersey color is very aggressive. Also, bye, everyone. No Jokic, no fun.

I don't know if anyone else caught a call in the Knicks game, but NBA refs are just horrendous. The Knicks had to challenge an obvious non foul, and it stood. Even on replay it wasn't a foul.

Laughably bad. Just fire the whole lot of these incompetent boobs.

Jokic is load managing again. It is his second load-managed game of the season. This is the 5th game he's missed all season.

I'm a little behind in the game. App crashed, crashed my whole TV with it, took a bit to get it back up and running.

Nah, I was referring to how bad NBA refs are...outside of the Pac-12 and MLS, along with that one umpire everyone hates (Hernandez?), NBA refs are right there.

Great to see Kawhi back to being Kawhi, but, man, everyone else (sans Zu and Mann) need to wake the hell up.

Spurs commentator is just frustrated, lol, "don't leave him". He's right, but the Spurs defense isn't worst in the NBA because they've been playing smart, disciplined defense all season.

I haven't had much issue with the offense, it's been really good tbh, but they've just given the Spurs way too much on defense in the game.

Man Sochan sure ain't got Rodmans defense.

He'll become a really good player though really like him. No not because he's got a palm tree?? painted on his hair.

And why is the Clippers' D right next to ours?

Clippers are 9th in Drtg, Spurs are 30th. If you said the Clippers offense, that would make more sense, they are 26th in Ortg, Spurs are 28th. Unless you mean why is the Clippers defense right next to the Spurs in THIS game, but anything can happen in one game.
