Man, if we end up at or below .500 this season I'm going to lose my fucking mind. Fuck that game and fuck the way we lost. Fuck 4th quarters in general.

Scooter would mark out if Van Exel came to the Lakers and teach Swaggy a dance
Honeymoon stage.
Though I hope Dwight is wise enough to not alienate his hometown.

Almost pulled off a comeback. But yeah I prefer the kings not playing them anymore, lol. Too good.

Marc marking out
Last year in the conference finals for me
How good is Mike Conley? Best part was no heat checks, no trying to take the game over, I would rather he not pass to a Randolph on Blake iso late in the shot clock, but apart from that he was pretty much perfect.
Weird night for the Clippers, gave up a couple of 10+ to nothing runs, then JJ Redick did a Klay impression. Fun game.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
He's got less pressure and no superstar to clash wish. Plus it's his home.
It's an ideal for him where he doesn't have extra pressure, the LA prime time lights shinning on him, Kobe breathing down his neck, or Harden hogging the ball.

Seattle fans seem to like him a lot more now!

Apparently at some point Iggy yelled "the line was 6" while some other player was being interviewed .
Meaning the Warriors were a 6 point favorite and after all those sketch calls towards the end of the game made the final tally a 6 point difference .

There will never be a 4 point line
The 3 point shot is popular because it's very easy get open the farther back you go, and because it's worth 50% more then a 2, and with the amount of ball movement in existence it's efficient in the regular season when teams don't play hard defense
One of the best ways to balance the game IMO is to make twos worth three and threes worth 4. Suddenly, the midrange shot looks a lot better and foul shots become much more important meaning you can't just play these guys who can't shoot FTS.
But this will never happen

yes the kemba walker fluffing must continue. been a minute since charlotte has had a legit all star like this.
"Players averaging more points with a higher TS% than Kemba Walker:
Kevin Durant
Steph Curry
James Harden
Yep, that's it."

"#BUZZWORTHY @KembaWalker is connecting on a career-best 3.3 3pt FGs per game this season, 2nd best mark @NBA, trailing Stephen Curry (4.6)"

Jordan finally got a lottery pick correct lol
jordan cho and co. have actually been really solid the past handful of seasons. only big whiffs have been lance, who was gotten on a team friendly deal in case he didn't pan out, and drafting vonleh. ever since the lockout year and the tank it's been uphill.
I see charlotte fans shit on cho sometimes but for a manager of a smallish market team he's made some really savvy moves. locking up kemba at a price that many thought was too high at the time, for one.

The Timberwolves are trying really hard to get me to hate them right now you don't throw Embiid to the ground like that. That's my boy! *thatsmyquarterback.gif*
It was Payne. He has like zero body control. I am shocked he was able to successfully throw him to the ground!

I have a feeling that they make become unlikeable down the line. I love watching them though. Hope they don't become like the Warriors did last year during their Finals run.

I haven't watch too much of him this season, but my problem with Wiggins is pretty much everything other than scoring.

He had 10 rebounds and 4 assists tonight as well. Pretty great game.
I do find a lot of that sentiment about Wiggins though, and it feels really unfair to me. He's 21 years old (3-4 years away from entering his prime), and people trash him cuz he isn't a shot creater yet? Kawhi Leonard has averaged 2 assists a game his entire career and nobody says a damn thing about it, why is Wiggins held to some higher standard? "I mean ya, he's averaging 27 a game, but he only had 2 assists, meh".
It feels like people just want to hate him, not sure why though he's such a likable personality and a phenomenal athlete/player. Maybe its my KU bias coming through, but I love the guy and can't wait to see him dominate the league.
