I love when overlooked guys have big games, undrafted kid Terry Taylor for the Pacers getting some minutes the last 3 games and puts up
15 and 8
24 and 16
Then today finishes with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists against the Bulls

Bulls have their own overlooked kid taken in the 2nd round (Dosunmu) who had 15 points and 14 assists against the Pacers and just looks so mature out there for a rookie

I know stats don't have the same value anymore with teams regularly putting up 120+ and even getting games where the losing team is over 120, as well as several guys a night with huge double doubles, but it's still nice to see the guys that weren't highly thought of get a chance to play and do well

Agree, but on which player? Looked like both Davis and Garland reached out to Rozier which was pretty stupid and unnecessary of both

Truly embarrassing first half for the Nets. Getting rolled by the Gobert-less Jazz. They already have the longest active losing streak in the league at six

Two techs then.

But I can’t see why his 3 pointer counted if the play was dead.

I was supposed to be an absolute guaranteed Lakers/Nets finals this year, and both teams look like they will be in the play-in.


Nobody with any basketball knowledge thought the Lakers would be in the Finals after the Westbrook trade.


They're literally exactly where i thought they would be. That's a bottom 7 team in the league with no Lebron.

Jazz with the barrage-a-trois. Mitchell looks fresh.

76ers and mavs looking like it’s gonna be a good game if the refs don’t give the stars bad fouls for and against....

It’s good to see Embiid and Luka both playing healthy

Changes have to be made on the Nets. Either Nash needs to be fired or Irving and Harden needs to be traded.

Kyrie and James like “**** KD”

KD went out and picked his two best friends to ball with in a 3 on 3 against his dad and his uncles for 100 dollars and KDs boys showed up drunk and possibly high...and KD like

Mavs game delayed because the rim is crooked. Maybe that's why we haven't been able to shoot this year. Or all the bricks caused it

The way the first guy tried to fix the rim didn't make sense at all. He used a levelling tool and then touched the rim here and there to make sure it was level. Yeah right, just wait until a player dunks on that rim in the next few plays...
