Wade is the laziest POS player in the NBA right now. He's letting Austin Rivers do whatever he wants on offense.

The Pacers were down by 22 (78-56) in the middle of the third quarter and yet we came back and won this by 7 (100-107). Victor Oladipo, Lance Stephenson and Domantas Sabonis were absolutely crucial in this turnaround. It wouldn't have been possible without them. Honorable mention goes to Darren Collison, Bojan Bogdanović, Cory Joseph and Thad Young.

I don't know what went wrong with the Pistons. We were just playing with a lot more intensity than they were. The only Piston who matched our intensity down the stretch was Ish Smith.

Regression to the mean for Porzingis. He was never that good.

PG was traded for Oladipo and Sabonis and we all scratched our heads, called the pacers GM crazy. Well, looks like this guy gets the last laugh.

Never seen a consensus like that be so wrong.

Can someone explain why the Spurs are playing two bigs so much when they are getting killed on the boards anyways?

To be fair, we were forced to trade PG so this trade should have never been criticized as harshly as it was. But it doesn't really matter now :P :P

Love your sig, by the way.

I have never had less fun watching the Minnesota Timberwolves than I have this season. The lack of effort goes beyond insulting.

I have him on snapchat and he was on vacation the whole off season

Didn't see him in the gym until week before the NBA started :lol:

He would give garbage effort last year, like unheard of lack of effort. Then in the post game he had the balls to say "I don't know if they care enough" talking about the other guys on the team.

Raptors beat down on the Knicks without 2 starters and 1 key bench player. Raps also played some scrub named Lorenzo Brown over 15 min

I hate to say it, because I used to love Jimmy so much, but he has changed completely. I think they acquired a cancer.
