Warriors clippers got 1.7 a week ago.


The NT bubble is real. Just because you guys spend 90 percent of your time watching basketball and on NT doesn’t mean the rest of the U.S. does

I’m shocked casual fans would rather watch curry and Durant over Jokic and dame. Shocked

 

[clyde the glide]

Weak minded players can’t handle the pressure of playing with all time greats.

Lol

 

[Nike Jordan]

George Hill and Rodney Hood came through for their respective teams last night.

LeBron's gotta be sick.

 

[ill steelo]

32 points, only one 3 pointer attempted. Bully.

Oh he mad

Not even clear what point you're trying to make. Some matchups are more popular than others? NBA fans watch more ball than non NBA fans?

I was thinking about this as well. Kinda kills that LeBron had no help narrative. Maybe they were being used incorrectly by Coach Lue.

Anybody that has played organized ball will tell you that not all players can play well together. Some styles just don’t fit. If you are used to having the ball in your hands and you play with another ball dominate players, somebody’s game will have to change and since Bron is Bron, that change will have to come from the other players.

Houston we have a problem...

Like I said, Hood been a bum all year though so I doubt it was a coaching issue. He averaged 3 in 19 minutes that OKC series and didn’t do anything when McCollum was out during the regular season.

Hills been really good as a buck though. But the expectations aren’t nearly has high as a backup

 

[D StaXX]

Yeah I'm not rolling with the Hood glory. He had a great game, but he's still been a BUM.

Tonight gonna be litty.

'and you know me,
Oakland bouta turn the 0-2 into 0-3'

I'm about to have my first anti-blog boys rant on here, you can tell anyone complaining about that Jokic box out has NEVER played basketball or banged in the post. That might be a foul but it's no cheap shot, it's exactly what every player should be doing when banging for the rebound against a stronger player: hit them hard and make them back up.

Yeah it sucks for Kanter that he's down there with a hurt shoulder but that doesn't mean the opposing team's going to stop boxing out.

You crazy as hell.

Throw an elbow right into the middle of my chest while I’m just standing there not even trying to grab a rebound and I’m taking you to the floor.

He definitely played a huge role but all the nuggets were gassed and barely moving when he came in. Lets see him do it against starters / fully rested squad before crowning him.

Exactly, dude came in when everyone else was gassed after playing like 50+ minutes and played well. He isnt doing that consistently again fresh starters

It's like dudes that show up late to the gym after everyone been hooping since 5. Showing up with fresh legs and full Gatorade cups. Like bruh, it's not the same. Comp ain't the same. Pull up when we fresh and catch this L.

What you mean, they're boxing out for the shot. Kanter's an elite rebounder he's trying for everything.

I'd have zero problem doing that in any game.

 

[KHUFU]

Mouth shut about what? **** are you even talking about

BE GONE you wasn’t even in this thread a few years ago. You just trying to fit in now

Kanter was just standing there hunched over not even moving. You can box out without throwing your shoulder into the dude’s jaw and your elbow into the middle of his chest.

I honestly didn’t even watch the game though, so all I saw was that short 5 second clip.

More like they had the prime time slot for Sunday games.

Cliff notes from last night:
- Both teams would’ve literally died if that game was in Denver.
- Buffalo Wild Wings sponsored the game for the first 67 minutes and 55 seconds then Wing Stop sponsored the last 5 seconds.
