My concern with Butler aside from his knees has always been his shooting. I'm not sure what kind of player he is going to be as the seasons start to wear on his body.

A Lakers preseason game was stopped early for that reason either last year or two years ago.Has there ever been a game cancelled due to condensation/wetness on the court? Don't think I've heard of it before. Just wanted to watch the Kings game.. turn it on and it's called off.
But it's good that they're putting safety first.

I tried checking out the sb nation page for the rockets to see what they think of the match up with the Warriors and the preview was 95% complaining about the Warriors and being bitter Harden lost MVP to Curry two years ago and blaming rings based arguments on HoF by fans for KD going to the Warriors.

When you were in first place but now you're flirting with last :'(
Dwight has actually ran the fast break at "point" pretty well before. I feel like Dwight was thinking alleyoop while muscula was thinking something else. And then Dwight forgot he doesn't have touch and just threw it lol

probably not, mostly because of the age difference. i think luke's age is a major reason why the lakers are meshing well

It scares me how easy it is to enjoy this season so far when my idol just retired.
I love... basketball (?)

Go Rockets!
Some dude is going to bet the under and scream miserably as the two teams score at will for two hours.

Go Cav. Do stuff
I hadn't thought about this at all, but the Cavs match up really well with the Clippers. Kyrie is a tough cover for Paul, Thompson does really well defending Blake and on the other end Love can still find some open looks. And oh yea, they still have Lebron.
Let's see how the 2nd units make out.

Fuck I gotta get shumps new haircut on my avatar
woah, what happened there? clips cleaning up the glass?
Somewhat it looks like. 42-30 for the Clippers on the glass, 15 boards for DeAndre specifically.
Cavs also only 5-20 on 3's.

Clippers goes from losing to the Nets to stomping the defending Champs.
The fuck is with this team?

I actually watched that whole Magic - Memphis game. The mind boggling turnovers and the IQ of that Magic team is abysmal.
With all due respect to Magic fans, I'm sorry but your team is garbage. All that young talent you've been building up and the only one who is worth keeping for the long run is Evan Fournier, a player the Magic didn't even draft either.
Magic need to tank again and start from scratch. Trade everyone but Evan Fournier for picks. That team the way it's currently built is not going to do anything now or in the long term.
...Just my opinion. 😅

Eh the Cavs weren't even playing in their final form lol
Vucevic is a solid offensive player that can stretch the floor and rebound well. His defense however...the legends about his completely zero defense is 100% true. He would have made pre 2016-2017 season Lou Williams blush on that end.
Aaron Gordon can jump...that's it. Otherwise he's just as bad as Elfrid Payton right now. Can't shoot, regressed at rebounding, he's just been bad. Decent defender though so he's got that going for him too.
And yeah Payton...besides two good defensive plays I saw from him, he's otherwise complete garbage. The team needs to look for a point guard badly and stop investing so much in bigs.

In his defense, that was a bullshit foul called on him.
Magic giving up Tobias Harris who has been playing fantastic this season in Detroit for NOTHING was so stupid of them. Their organization is clueless.
That and trading Oladipo (who is kinda overrated but still better than anything on the Magic besides Fournier) and a rookie who actually looks like he's gonna be a solid player for Ibaka who's best years are behind him.
Rob Henningan isn't Billy King level awful, but his rebuild is looking like a failure.

On top of that, they did it supposedly to free up salary and then went and handed Jeff Green $15 million.
