Teams will just never crash the off-boards against Lonzo.

To be honest I watch most teams but those are probably the most common. Been trying to watch more of the Celtics (for Stevens sets) and SIxers


Yeah, I watched Sixers/Celtics tonight...which if JJ Redick hits a late 3 it becomes a 1 point game but it ended up with a 3 on the other side stretching the lead to 7 for the Celtics. I just wanted to see some of Embiid and Simmons.

I wanted to watch some of the Jazz/Wolves which I thought sounded like the most interesting game of the night outside of the Suns, since i'm a Suns fan, but didn't end up watching any of that one.


yeah the Sixers are intriguing bc of their young talent + Brett Brown's system. That earlier game was tough to watch though

Jazz/Wolves was a grindfest as usual, Rubio played incredibly well. Jazz probably should have won it, but Rudy threw the ball to Jimmy Butler after a DREB up 1 with 26 seconds left


You'd think if Rubio threw it to the other team, it would be one of his ex teammates...guess not.

Since you watch the teams we've talked about assistant coaches from, and you've watched the Suns, if you had to choose another coach to coach the Suns, who would you pick? Ettore Messina has been mentioned, as well as Jay Larranaga, and a couple others.

That was probably his best quarter of his career scoring wise.

I think we'll score more than the opener guys...

I really liked that play with Booker passing to Bender, Bender to Warren where he faked the three took two steps in and then found a wide open Booker. That was Popovich-like play there.

Good half, though we didn’t exactly close it well.

Why did Jackson only play 11 mins? He had it going early.

Like what I’ve seen from Bender again. He’s competing out there.

Chriss had a good half too. The only wtf moment was his missed wide open 15 footer when he had an easy dunk instead.

Booker has been a star with 17/7/5, and he’s also gotten hammered a couple times and didn’t get the call.

Warren has been great too. Keep it up boys.

Funny I was just about to type "Can't believe they got Montell Jordan for halftime. They need to hire someone else to arrange halftime entertainment."

Pace is on track for 120 which means even a league average 110 offensive rating = 132 points.

I was genuinely curious since I think it's the only one I've ever heard, but I also listen to mostly underground metal type stuff.

Watching JJ shoot at halftime. His 3 point shot is so weird, but he made a ton of them. The arc is ridiculous on them.

Jackson picked up two really quick fouls to start the game.

Chandler switched foul roles with Len. Taking one for the team.

Ball and Booker both with potential triple doubles.
