You do realize Livingston has contained Durant, Stephen Curry, Ray Allen all week, right?

So no one caught kyle lowry breaking livingstons ankles in the 2nd half... lol


Where was this surprise? Lowry's stat line: 12 points, 4 assists on 4-11 shooting, 3-7 3pt shooting.

You came into this thread vastly overrating Lowry's offensive ability like he's Chris Paul or Tony Parker. He was contained. Coming back and using the "did you not see that move he made lol" excuse is just not a good look.

Just move on...


Livingston was absolutely obliterated last night. Lowry 4 MVP.

I'll take any of those than what Xbox One or PS4 has to offer at the moment. I'm all first person shootered out and don't care much for Dead Rising 3. Forza is a great game though, but I'm not gonna go out and get an X-box One for it.

Yeah, but the WiiU has had a head start so it's expected to have more games. I seriously don't think the WiiU will be around 3 years from now. Nintendo is gonna have to do something if they plan on competing with Sony and Micro$oft.

Nintendo will always have the first party franchises to keep interest in their consoles, even if it means losing out on this generation when it comes to sales. They don't have to make games with realistic graphics, but as long as they continue to roll out their franchises with top-notch gameplay, I'll continue to buy their consoles.

My wife and I are really considering getting a Wii U. Any chance it drops like $50 in price anytime soon?

They don't, bother third party games do and that's the primary reason why I have little to no interest in buying a WiiU... lack of third party support (as usual with Nintendo consoles).

I want to play smash bros... but I might just end up getting a 3DS and calling it a day.

One thing that bothered me about this game was that even though it was basically a scheduled loss, I don't know how I feel about my coach feeling the same way. Kidd was very very happy in the post game. He said he was pleased. Not only that but I really felt like he coached that way. Didn't bring back the starters til like 5:15 in the 4th, waved the white flag with 3:42 in the 4th. Unacceptable.

I don't want him to drive our players to the ground or to blast the players when they're tired but I would like our coach to try to win these games and care about them. If our starters are tired, there's no reason our bench shouldn't be able to play respectable, well-executed basketball. I hope he's just keeping things behind closed doors but there were some very bad things that happened in that game. Blatche, Terry, giant run that we never answered, not slowing down their #1 option DD, John Salmons.

No need to overreact of course. But I hope Kidd isn't thinking too much like a player.

Agree 100% on this. Nintendo would be smart not to try and compete with graphics and 3D enviornments and isntead concentrate on great gameplay. So much time is dedicated to enviornments in the next gen games alot of time fun, replay factor, and gameplay suffers. 2 of the best games to come out in the last 10-12 years are 'castlevania:symphony of the night' which is a 2D side scroller and Final fantasy 7, with far inferior grapahics to the many installments which came after which all fall short of that game.

id love to see nintendo go back to making a ton fo 2D games, making them clever and fun, and expanding on old classics or remaking them. and just keep trying to inovate on how we interact with them

agree 100%. its one thing to go in knowing you are resting guys short handed, and another to just go in writing the game off as a loss.

Look at the spurs. they set duncan/ginobili/parker, etc home early on a road trip, and lost by 1 point to the heat in miami. Ppovich expects his team to win, play hard, and execute regardless of who is on the floor. we could use that kind of mentality. the last thing this team needs is an excuse to lay down...especially since we are finally looking like a decent team
