What a way to respond by Wemby, destroyed the Hawks in OT by himself (well, Trae helped...)
Defense wins draft lotteries!

I'd like to see Wemby paired with a big PF to help with the boards.

Hope Hunter enjoyed his instagram poster, because everyone watching has said "Don't poke the bear" to someone next to them. Wemby just beat the Hawks by himself.

Just another reminder this game was supposed to be on tnt tonight.

over the Minny/NYK game?


Over ORL/OKC.

No. The ORL/OKC game was always on TNT. That was one of our 5 nationally televised games before the season started.

It would have been a better game if Paolo and Franz weren’t hurt.

He's 5'11", 165 carrying a load. He's gassed, can't come out. That's not choking.

Nuggets really going to end the Blazers losing streak just like they did for the Wizards?

He got to 29, Dallas missed and sent the bench to the table...Lue calls a time out and will, presumably, do the same.

Powell won't get to 35, I failed my prediction :cry:

Big win for the Clips tho, getting to 6-6 on the road and 7-11 versus .500 or better. 16-12 overall.

Rubber match on Saturday! Which, I'm assuming Dallas takes it, running away if Kyrie and/or Luka are back

I think you're right, my apologies. The MIN/NYK game was probably flexed onto TNT.
