Dont hate the time!

Allowes me to watch a game from Europe

For free here in Germany. I understand the time is a bit unfortunate for American audiences though.

 

[Miracle]

A Tony Brothers reffed game.

Knicks fans would know. Game was over before it began lol.

 

[TTG]

I was about to compliment McGee when he let DUDLEY go right by him, c'mon man.

 

[Vanillalite]

Y'all gonna LoL when I post the updated standings in the morning.

 

[Jarate]

The Lakers are winning because of their bench. If the bench stops playing an all time GOAT level, then they will start dropping down the table. Right now, the benches combination is currently leading the lead as the top 5 starters combination. The bench is playing at a higher rate than every team's starting 5 or winning 5 combination. Even when that happens and they start falling, this is incredibly encouraging. They had a pathetic 17 win record last year, you have to imagine 30-35W is a real possibility now.

I can't tell if Bron is leCoasting or not. Doesn't look like he's trying as much as he did in the play offs, while at the same time averaging 37mpg. Looks like he really does want the MVP this year.

I think I read that teams are shooting .329 from 3 with 6+ feet if open space in front of them. Basically it's a mixture of good coaching and being statistically lucky.

The Lakers can sneak into the playoffs this year, but they have to be patient. There's a whole slew of teams who had a good year and completely fucked up their rebuild for years trying to seek a chip. Suns are the most recent example.

I still don't think their team has a superstar yet, and their defense will fall off a cliff later in the year.

These refs are a joke.

 

[Fjordson]

Any Dubs fans watching Draymond putting on a defensive show right now? Dude just had three deflections + a steal in the post on one play. Unreal how good he's been lately.

Yeah and McCaw's getting into the passing lanes.

I was hoping to see javale get some more action but you could see him start to play a bit out of control...coaching staff was right to sit him before he made another mistake

 

[Miracle]

They are literally going to the FT line on every possession.

Tony Brothers needs to go. This is some Tim Donaghy shit.

Edit: and another late whistle and for Wiggins again. I'm done with this joke of a game.

 

[Brinbe]

Andrew Wiggins balling the fuck out

 

[Brinbe]

OKC-Orlando is a hell of a game

 

[Nialrot]

Magic will figure out a way to lose... what we do best

 

[Miracle]

Andrew Wiggins balling the fuck out

Easy to ball out when nobody is allowed to breath on you.

Thanks Tony Brothers.

 

[Brinbe]

IBAKA DAGGER

Thanks Tony Brothers.

Laker fans whining about anyone getting superstar treatment is the height of hilarity.

 

[scoobs]

Wiggins absolutely torching the Lakeshow right now. Maple Jordan is real and it's beautiful

Kobe wished he got the calls Wiggins was getting tonight.

I haven't complained about any officiated games this year until tonight. This was a disgrace.

 

[Kickz]

Goddamn Wiggins 47 points

 

[tookhster]

The depressing life of a Thunder fan. Shit on and blown out by KD and the Dubs one game and get game winner'd by Ibaka another game. I can't decide which is worse.

 

[Fjordson]

Man Phoenix giving Dubs trouble again. Only down 1 in the 3rd.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

good game cavsgaf

sloppy ass game though. felt like both teams were napping, which is probably what their bodies were expecting them to be doing.

Yeah, gg. I've always liked the Hornets. Pissed me off when they left and took the team name with them.

Anyways, you guys look pretty darn good this year, building on what you did last year. Wish you had beat the Heat.

 

[badb0y]

Why doesn't Steph get any of those calls on the 3 point line? They just run his ass over every time.

 

[Fjordson]

Holy fuck. Curry pulling up from the logo lmao

Why doesn't Steph get any of those calls on the 3 point line? They just run his ass over every time.

Gonna have to win a third MVP to start getting calls I guess.

 

[Piecake]

Lakers were shooting jumpers and Wiggins was driving to the rim on every possession.

Instead of blaming the refs, blame your players for not recognizing that the refs were giving the aggressor the calls.

 

[finowns]

Dang, that sequence

 

[l2ounD]

Dang, that sequence

Block hype! Deep 3 hype! Crowd goes nuts!

 

[Gully State]

McCaw!!

 

[Fjordson]

Tie game in the fourth. Dubs really struggle with Phoenix lately.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Seems a new play that players jumping on Curry when he shoots a 3. I've seen it called once now out 20 times this season. Wonder what the higher ups will think if he gets a long term injury because of this ish.

Also Raptors vs Warriors in two days should be lit. MJrozan to hit another 30 no doubt.

 

[finowns]

LOL.. at Curry directing the towel people

 

[Gully State]

Klay's calibrated

 

[Tubobutts]

Klay's calibrated

The dream of Nick Young for Klay is dead.

 

[Fjordson]

Dubs offense is humming, but 117 on 51% shooting for Phoenix is less than ideal.

 

[finowns]

That was a fun game.

 

[Gully State]

I'm starting to really get annoyed with Steph's casual ass careless turnovers ..for as amazing of a player he is, those turnovers often times are huge run deflaters..

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Damn, what an awful game. I can't believe people are blaming the refs, Lakers just didn't show up tonight.

Timberwolves at least are winning more games, definitely one of my favorite teams in the NBA. I can't tell if I like Wiggins or Towns more, though.

 

[Cooter]

Assuming no injuries, GS is going to be unstoppable come May/June. Draymond is playing out of his mind right now. Perfect compliment for those 3 scorers.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Klay's calibrated

He has gotta step up his rebounding .

 

[Fjordson]

I'm starting to really get annoyed with Steph's casual ass careless turnovers ..for as amazing of a player he is, those turnovers often times are huge run deflaters..

Agreed. Those behind the back passes are crazy lol. He had one tonight that wasn't even close.

It's lit when he gets one on the money, but feel like for every one on target there are 3-4 that go to the other team.

He's looking really good otherwise, just wish he'd be less casual with the ball.

 

[TTG]

These trends have carried over from last year and, well for one, it's inaccurate to call them trends at this point. The Zaza/Curry pick and roll defense is a disaster. What's doubly frustrating is that fair criticism is just the most cliche sports hackery. Take some pride Steph! auurgghh

 

[Servbot24]

Zaza with 12 minutes in the game :|

 

[Stabby McSter]

Zaza with 12 minutes in the game :|

let's put javale in the starting line up and see if anyone notices

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

He has gotta step up his rebounding .

That's never happening. Klay is about putting the ball in and playing usually solid D on the best perimeter offensive player. That's all he will ever offer IMO.

Yep. Out of the paint is where he belongs.

 

[Sanjuro]

This is the NBAAA thread. D'oh.

 

[Vanillalite]

Get your bodies Reggie as here is your Monday morning standings brought to you by Vanilla!

 

[Servbot24]

I'm giving my official Lakers in the playoffs guarantee.

 

[Sanjuro]

Lakers are already better then the Cz. Kill Kobe, trust the process working.

 

[Christian]

Wow. Miami really stinks, don't they?

 

[Exploratory]

The Warriors are going to try and make a trade for Nikola Jokic. Hes playing out of position, his numbers are a lot worse this season so his trade value has dropped, and most importantly the Nuggets don't need him because the Nurkic starting.

 

[Consequence]

Raptors really have a Cleveland/Golden State back to back this week huh? Geez.
