It showed up in the second...hopefully they can remember it for the rest of the game.

It's against Wizards

I don’t make fun of teams whether they’re good or bad for a season. They are an NBA team and Orlando has a lot of problems this season so I’m glad they attempted to play defense in the 2nd quarter.

So discombobulating! Why???

Oh man, glad I'm not the only one annoyed. I guess you get to see the big 5 stats first but I also don't need the percentages next to each shot breakdown. Like 9-13 is 9-13, I don't need to see it's exactly 69.2% and take up more room.

Washington is just a bad basketball team

I know this is just piling on, and I’m sorry, but…

A few games of film on Knueppel and he’s completely neutralized. He competes, he’s strong… and he can’t shoot against NBA defense and can’t play NBA defense on the perimeter. Give him a few years and there’s a chance he Reddick’s himself into a decent player, but that’s a pick you don’t make there.

What are peoples thoughts on this Warriors team? Personally, I feel they've got zero shot at making any noise in the West. Maybe a second round team depending on matchups?

Same. I think they are solid and hoping to stay healthy enough to catch a break. It is a long season and you never know how things will sort themselves out. But they are in the 2nd tier out West and that means they are in the mix.

I haven't seen enough of Kon to form a solid opinion but Tidjane Salaun was a terrible pick.

Paolo has bounced back nicely since the first few terrible games.

Averaging 26/10/6 on 56/35/73 splits for 66 TS% on the 4 game road trip.

Scalabrine is so obnoxious. I know that the job (especially for Boston) requires the color commentary to be a homer but he still sucks.

Did the Rockets fix their PG situation or are they just playing easier teams now?

they still need one for the postseason but their size is imposing their will on folks.

I'm sorry Quenton Jackson, I was not aware of your game

Boston w/ like 5 straight fouls on Houston, just no way to stop them from driving the the rim.

Wanna thank the warriors for just completely **** my bet over against a depleted Pacers team. I mean just mwah chefs kiss when every other part of that bet was going swell and then you've got Warriors just saying go fekk yerself. Where was Curry in the end? the C-Word took a vacation when they needed him.

damn. Warriors look bad. Lose to Gianiss-less Bucks and then follow it up with this L against a hospital Pacers team

Betting on sports shows some people have way to much faith in their fellow man.
