Spoken like a true Rockets fan.

I assume most of them are Jeremy Lin fans. Who are among the most delusional people on the planet.

TBH, I wanted to place money on Nets over 19.5 but I couldn't deal with the fact I would continuously root against my team's interest. It would be such a **** situation. I'm not saying they're a playoff team, but the worst team in the league seemed a little bit too far, considering they had a low-end season last year and then signed a good PG in Lin (IMHO, Jarret Jack was pure shiet, as well as Larkin).

Let's not panic yet. Yeah, I felt they weren't as bad as being made out before the season, but the Nets are still a bottom 5 team. With a little bit of luck here or there then the pick will still be a very good one.

I'm dumber now.

BRK down four in Milwaukee. Important to not let them pick up a f'n winning streak.

Is Brook Lopez injured?

Delly is great for this Milwaukee team.

They don't play him on back to backs apparently.

This seems nuts? Marks is definitely looking to trade Brook.

His defensive intensity is absolutely vital for them given that Jabari is out there doing absolutely nothing on D.

Don't lose this bucks.

What the heck Bucks. Are you trying to throw this game away .

Jingles · Post #714 » by **Jingles** » Sun Oct 30, 2016 2:21 am

Bucks are a classic less than the sum of their parts team that people will always fawn over because they have a bunch of tall athletic guys.

Also their coach sucks.

Stupid foul by Delly there.

Not sure if something's ailing him, but Lopez's strengths are now a bad fit for their team. Their new offense alienates him. They'd be better off trading him soon if they can get a decent offer.

Crunch time Dellavadova runner. Really Milwaukee?

Jingles · Post #718 » by **Jingles** » Sun Oct 30, 2016 2:22 am

Delly fadeaway is probably the same thing I'd call there...

Jingles · Post #719 » by **Jingles** » Sun Oct 30, 2016 2:23 am

Haha, heartbreak will do.
