Is that the Zelda theme being played at the Lakers game?

They play Zelda and Game of Thrones a lot.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Wolves without Rubio are terrible. Take him out and the Lakers outscore them 21-5.

LaVine is not an NBA PG. He may not be an NBA player period.

I think he's got potential as a 3 and D player but I agree trying to force him as a pg is only going to stunt his development.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Nice to see the Cavs play better tonight! Richard Jefferson just may have some gas in the tank left, unlike Marion last year.

 

[shwimpy]

It's a long season Kob, take it easy. =P

I was surprised he was still alive the other night and then he was knocking shots down.

I guess he fell off my radar, heard he shot very well from 3 last year.

 

[shwimpy]

Julius would kill KG.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Sorry KG your tricks don't work on Julius.

The single best thing they could do for LaVine's development is have him on the floor with Rubio.

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

Glad to see KG getting into his T game early this season. Wondering how long it's going to take for him to punch someone now.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Pelicans please understand it is a back2back game. But damn. AD come on the Blazers frontcourt consists of Ed Davis, Plumlee and Meyers Leonard.

Dirk mother tuckers.

Is that a law firm from Harry Potter???

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Really liking Clarkson's aggressiveness. His game reminds me some of Brandon Roy.

 

[C4Lukins]

Oh puck. Never mind that top 6 prediction.

 

[spyder_ur]

I wouldn't be yapping at KG young man - show some respect.

Lakers offense is like watching basketball 25 years ago. Only in style I mean.

 

[Pachimari]

Wakes up. Sees LA Lakers is in the lead. Yes!

Goes back to sleep. It's 5 in the morning after all. Gonna watch the match when I wake up again.

Also, who's KG?

 

[unknownstranger]

What the fuck Cousins is 4/5 from 3?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Deron Williams has returned to the Mavs' bench with a sleeve on his left knee. Mavs are calling the injury a left knee contusion. He is probable to return.

DWill is more injury prone than Rose.

Wow, I can't imagine you watching games consistently where you live.

Kevin Garnett.

Chicago Farragut Highschool Star, Timberwolves former and current player, Boston Celtics champion, Future Hall of Famer, Mean and Ugly.

 

[Line_HTX]

And washed up according to those fans in that one commercial.

I'll admit though, I enjoyed his "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE~~~" moment.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Serious question or are you joking?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Serious question or are you joking?

He's new to the NBA.

 

[Pachimari]

Serious question.

I thought everybody in here knew, that I'm all new to basketball and is trying hard to get into it.

Thanks for the answer guys.

How much is a NBA League Pass Premium membership in the U.S.?

 

[fertygo]

Clips vs Kings is pretty hype right now.

 

[PeterLegend]

Kobe with these dumbass shots man, yikes

 

[sethbot]

Man Felton is getting it done tonight!

He is the biggest endorser of Honey Nut Cheerios.

I agree. Let him get spoonfed easy buckets would be the best thing while he learns the game. It's probably why having Lou Williams and Clarkson alongside Russell will really help his development.

 

[fertygo]

Cousins is great but man he need to stop whining

 

[Line_HTX]

What the hell is going on there?

Stealing margaritas :Jnc

Mark Jackson please

 

[sir_kevith]

McCollum with 37.

Career high. Really like the way the Blazers looked except for Leonard's hesitation. Pretty impressive for a team predicted to win under 30 but i guess maybe theyre predicting the team to tank.

Hey, welcome to NBA GAF! Seeing you new in here reminded of me the season before last. I'm over in Europe too so hardly see games live and only became clued into the NBA the season before last.

A great way to get your knowledge up to scratch (well for me anyway) was checking out sites like Grantland, SI.com and BleachersReport regularly. There's some really insightful analysis with their various articles and podcasts. Also if you have some spare time I recommend Bill SImmons book "The Book of Basketball". It was published in 2009 so it's kind of out of date but covers stuff like best players of all time, best teams throughout the history of NBA, the NBA/ABA merger in the 70's and generally a really good read.

how dare u

 

[victreeb3l]

Good win by the Knicks. DWill / Porzingawd future.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

how dare u

 

[Line_HTX]

how dare u

He is kind of ugly though...

:V

 

[RedAssedApe]

slow ass third quarter for laker game. 28 fts for both teams so far. wtf haha

 

[Brinbe]

Lakers remind me of the Raptors from last season. So much dumb chucking

[Xplatformer]

Not a lick of defense or real offensive sets.

 

[Line_HTX]

I'm just chilling listening to Tirico and Mark Jackson.

 

[Brinbe]

Rubio found his offense wow
And if im a Laker fan I'm pissed that your youngsters are learning bad habits right now. There's no system there. It's like a summer league game.

And the Wolves should be better than ppl think. They'd be pushing for a playoff spot in the East

 

[B.O.O.M]

McCollum with 37.

He was something special tonight. You could see his confidence growing. Such a relief for Lillard also.

Good to kick off the season with a win. GOBLAZERS!

I think this is also a NBA record? Most home opening game wins?

 

[shwimpy]

Rubio living up to his expectations? I hope so...

 

[RedAssedApe]

wtf...rubio has a jump shot now?

 

[Line_HTX]

Ah ok my bad I just entered the thread today so I had no idea, welcome to NBA basketball do you have a team yet? League pass is 199$ and team pass which is where you can get your favorite teams game is 119$. I am thinking about picking it up myself to follow the Celtics since I am from Boston but now live in Nor-Cal.

 

[shwimpy]

great strategy by B Scott to activate tank mode in the 2nd half.
