Wince sucks against any team that's not the Bobcats.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

I thought they were only doing warnings followed by fines? They're gonna suspend floppers now?

The first time a player is determined to have committed a flop, he will be warned by the NBA. Thereafter, the following automatic penalties will apply:
Violation 2: $5,000 fine
Violation 3: $10,000 fine
Violation 4: $15,000 fine
Violation 5: $30,000 fine

For a sixth (or any subsequent) violation of the rule, the player will be subject to such discipline as the League determines is reasonable under the circumstances, including an increased fine and/or suspension.

Considering Barea already has a warning after 1 game has been played, I'd say he has a high chance unless the fines actually force him to change his ways, which they might.

Goodness carter!

Bad play by him and these fucking refs are horrible tonight man

Interesting. Thank you. Though truthfully, I wish it escalated to the point of suspensions faster.

 

[Emwitus]

Aldridge has beautiful shot.

 

[Branduil]

Second-chance points are going to kill the Mavs tonight.

 

[reilo]

Wow incredibly shot by Lamarcus.

 

[StickSoldier]

stop shooting fuckin vince

 

[Branduil]

LOL Wince is so bad.

 

[pilonv1]

Time to go dark, better not lose to the Kings

 

[StickSoldier]

LOL Wince is so bad.

he just stopped the Mavs from pushing the lead by taking the worst fucking shots.

 

[Emwitus]

How are guys like pierce, kobe, duncan , garnett and ray still playimg at a high level while there peers suck so bad

 

[Branduil]

I knew that Pavlovic three would go down.

 

[Knux-Future]

wtf @ the Kings intro...


this is some Lord of the Rings shit.

 

[StickSoldier]

Man, I am really loving DC's game right now.

 

[darkside31337]

Just got home from work how the hell did the Nets blow that lead?

 

[Branduil]

It feels weird to actually have one of those point guards who can take over the game with their speed and athleticism.

 

[reilo]

DAAMMNN BATUUM

 

[StickSoldier]

MAYO!!!

 

[Branduil]

Not much defense being played in this game.

 

[reilo]

Eventhough he's having a really bad shooting night, Lillard is still having an impact on this game overal. That shot will fall for him because it's been open.

 

[C4Lukins]

I am not going to go to far with this so early on. But this odd band of misfits may be a playoff team even without Dirk.

 

[StickSoldier]

Not much defense being played in this game.

Yeah, some really lucky shots being made out there too.

 

[diehard]

Jefferson helped us become a decent team but we will never be really good with him.

We still suck on the road... at least Hayward and Favors looked good.

 

[DCX]

Knicks-age has kept their excitement in check. Might have to do with past recent letdowns. This is the best the Knicks have looked in a while and Knicks-age hasn't discussed who'll purchase the streamers and confetti.

Brace Yourselves,

Amare is coming.

This.


And this.

[StickSoldier]

What a team. Fuckin love it

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Analysis: Jazz not going to win many games involving multiples of these factors: The road, very good teams, and true seven footers defending Al Jefferson.

Hopefully preseason Kanter shows up to the regular season soon as well...

 

[Branduil]

DoJo is such a terrible shooter.

Wright has really crazy range on that floater.

 

[snack]

Knicks 3-0 for first time since '99 with 76ers win

shit..

 

[msdstc]

Jefferson helped us become a decent team but we will never be really good with him.

We still suck on the road... at least Hayward and Favors looked good.

They need to let Favors play more if he ever wants to develop.

 

[Gully State]

Bogut looking real good out there.

 

[kevo_huevo]

juice mayo y'all! damn he has been unreal lately from beyond the arc.

 

[reilo]

Damian already seeing double teams and traps at top of the three point arc.

EDIT: This second unit is... yeah.

 

[StickSoldier]

Mavs are fucking deep man

 

[Branduil]

Mavs finally with some nice defensive intensity the last few possessions.

I wonder why no one has tried to trap Lillard before now.

 

[kevo_huevo]

mavs haven't been this exciting/active on the perimeter/exciting in fucking years

 

[reilo]

Get LaMarcus back in there ffs. Mavs are able to double/trap with a big because they don't have to respect either Freeland or Leonard.

 

[C4Lukins]

mavs haven't been this exciting/active on the perimeter/exciting in fucking years

Steve Nash days was the last time we were this fun to watch on offense.

 

[msdstc]

mavs haven't been this exciting/active on the perimeter/exciting in fucking years

Playoffs two years ago, Terry and Peja.

 

[reilo]

Really you guys? Because that shit the Mavs did in '11 wasn't exactly bullshitting around.

 

[Branduil]

Does Portland realize DoJo has no jumpshot? You don't need to play him so close LOL.

 

[kevo_huevo]

that was all dirk and a couple games of hot 3 point shooting. athletically, i dont think the 10-11 mavs can compare

 

[C4Lukins]

Really you guys? Because that shit the Mavs did in '11 wasn't exactly bullshitting around.

No but it was different. This is fun offense. We have not had that for a few years.

 

[Branduil]

Well that was a terrible possession.

I think we need Collison to come back in now.

 

[theignoramus]

warriors game is a track meet

 

[msdstc]

Steph clearly lacking his timing at the moment.

 

[StickSoldier]

Crowder, my god man you are a fucking beast

 

[Branduil]

CROWDER

 

[Nuklear]

Considering Barea already has a warning after 1 game has been played, I'd say he has a high chance unless the fines actually force him to change his ways, which they might.

The flopping rule is great if the NBA is consistent with it. They aren't starting out to well with the consistent part.
