When you play starter minutes in the NBA as long as Kobe has, you are going to miss a lot of shots.

True, but kobe actually has a low fg percentage career wise considering how many shots he takes. He's never shot above 50% for example.

Durant has done it multiple times, so did jordan and Lebron.

 

[Chezzymann]

Oh cool, the warriors and OKC are on national TV tonight. Finally a decent game on national TV (hopefully) instead of another Lakers or Nicks game. Would have been cool to have the raptors and the hawks, though.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Marc Gasol should be getting more mvp love

 

[Uno Venova]

If OKC ever wakes up and gets the 8th seed, they're not getting out the 1st round.

Outside of that, WCF isn't happening.

They've been so bad defensively I don't even see them making it the the 8th seed, unless the Suns start to fuck up huge.

Haha what? SA and Memphis would've been better answers....OKC just isn't right this year.

 

[RBK]

SA is realistic, but I wouldn't bet on them beating GS in a 7 game series. Injuries has had some effect on their record so far.

Memphis won't be any lower than a 5 seed.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Not sure why people are excited to see OKC and Golden State play. If the Rockets trampled OKC last night (stretching it here, I know), then Golden State will easily do the same. Sounds like a boring game to me. 👐

OKC ain't shit right now. the Hawks/Raps game looks much more fun for tonight.

If Memphis slides all the way into 5th or lower (which could easily happen), I don't see him winning MVP. I think Curry's far and away the leading MVP candidate right now because of how dominant the Warriors are.

I completely agree. Wish I could watch it. Stuck at work all night.

I could actually see Golden State losing tonight. On the road, third game in four days, Bogut and Iguodala resting. Would love to be wrong and have us sweep the season series, but we'll see.

Overall I still like Golden State's chances in a playoff series, though. Not that it wouldn't be a tough out, but I don't see how GS wouldn't have a great chance to move on.

Well, hopefully tonight will tire them out enough to make them lose when they come to Houston tomorrow lol

Now that game I can definitely see us losing. Fourth game in five nights and Houston >>> OKC.

Clippers and Cavs tonight.

NBA Finals preview.

 

[Vanillalite]

Can ask why this game wasn't moved to ESPN tonight or is that asking too much of ESPN to care about good matchups?

We are Spurs East aka ESPN hates us as we have no draw. We aren't "entertaining" enough for ESPN.

 

[Fjordson]

Does the NBA ever move games around? I feel like even when they're faced with a godawful matchup on national TV they stand pat. Could be wrong, though.

 

[neptunes]

Some Raptor players have got to go

 

[Messi]

I want to see Harden win the MVP. Don't think it will happen though. He is having an awesome season. Do you think it bothered him being one rebound short if a triple double vs the Thunder last night? It would bother me lol.

Yeah they've removed some Knicks games in favor of Raptor games for ESPN.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Yeah they've removed some Knicks games in favor of Raptor games for ESPN.

And yet, the NBA stuck us with the Knicks and the Lakers in separate games on Christmas day.

In short, they hate us all.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah they've removed some Knicks games in favor of Raptor games for ESPN.

Ah, okay. Interesting.

NBA must be in a weird spot right now because the historical big market teams are terrible (Lakers, Celtics, Knicks, etc.) and the best teams are teams somewhat lesser known to fans outside of their home market.

This deadspin article explains espn are only going to show one more knicks game this season and have switched the others, tnt can't because there is not as many games on thursdays.

NBA shitting themselves its all smaller market teams. Lolol

 

[Uno Venova]

Hawks look so good right now.

Adam Silver is having cold sweats about a Hawks vs Spurs finals.

 

[zroid]

this is embarrassing

these turnovers are so stupid. the raptors limited their turnovers so well earlier in the season, what happened?

Any word when Shump will be back?

 

[Vanillalite]

Lol

My boy Teague about to die during that halftime interview

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Any word when Shump will be back?

I think I heard about a week on last night's broadcast.

 

[Vanillalite]

As a proud member of GT GAF it blows my mind that Shump is such a name NBA player.

OMG that dunk by Horford!

 

[Uno Venova]

Horford with the poster god damn

 

[Chezzymann]

OKC x Warriors seems to be a good game so far

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

I hope the Bulls get this tonight because I really doubt they are winning tomorrow. Hawks are just unstoppable right now.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Man the Hawks frontcourt just feastin on Raps.

 

[Vanillalite]

Raptors getting run out of the building.

 

[Rabid Wolverine]

Damn that Westbrook Dunk.How could that have gone in?

 

[RedEther]

That westbrook dunk lol

 

[Fjordson]

Already let up 60. Trash D tonight.

 

[Vanillalite]

Hawks straight up burying people

 

[Uno Venova]

Brook Lopez having a "Oh you want to trade me?" game right now.

 

[Soonri]

I would just like to thank Boston for giving up the best players in the Rondo trade. Dwight Powell looks legit.

 

[Chezzymann]

DAAMN

that last tenth of a second tip! I need a gif

 

[RBelong2Us]

That was the lamest thing I've seen

 

[Fjordson]

What a fucking garbage end to the half. Tempted to turn this shit off after that.

 

[Gully State]

I knew we weren't going to play well tonight...No Bogut and Iggy. basically sending a message to the team that it was a free night.

 

[RBK]

Luke Walton is an assistant coach....for the Warriors?

Something doesn't seem right there.
