    Ah I did not get into this. Still, 16 from the field and 18 rebounds is great.

    Like my clone minus the Marines and asthma. At the time anyway. It ended up being 51 percent bodyfat later.

    It kept working and Washington kept hitting big hoops on the other end. Was watching the game and they just wouldn’t go away. Never been a fan of the hack a Shaq game plan, but if it’s working and gets you back in the game.....

    Man when the Spurs get Leonard and TP back...... they are doing this without 2 starters. Doesn’t matter how little Parker does stat wise, what he does do is run that Pop system to perfection.

    Without as many timeouts, time management also factors into this strategy too; I expect it'll happen more as coaches cleverly chat with their guards during FT time to compensate for a lack of timeouts.

    If you were starting a team, whom would you pick out of Towns, Porzingis or Jokic? It's not so obviously Towns as it used to be. Towns definitely not the Next Anthony Davis (yet).

    I honestly don't see this happening. But I would totally be okay with it. Let LeBron get a shot at catching Kobe's # of rings. He's so mch better than Kobe that it would be a justice.

    LMA will go back to being ignored when Leonard returns. He’s doing this right now because they have nobody else to feed the ball too. When Leonard returns LMA will go back to Aldridge from last year

    Nuggets and Tpups nipping at our heels - both lose tonight.
    This is the main part of Philly's "Process" - it's not to just get high draft picks, but to keep trading high draft picks for more high draft picks until they get elite players. It's been long and slow, and still no guarantee as both of their stars have significant injury histories. But, if nothing bad happens, the wait will have paid off.

    The word on the street is that neither Towns nor Jokic play any defense at all. If true, KP should probably get the nod.

    Just now watching the Laker vs GState game from last night. Ingram is so young and raw. Kid is going to be damn good in a few years. Lamar Odom like, maybe not the PG skills he had, but still.
    Made some amazing and stupid plays, but thats what you get with such young guys.
    That 2nd 3 by Curry in OT was just ridiculous!!! Dude was running back up court not even looking when the ball splashed thru the net. HA!!!

    Yep, I'd take Porzingis in a heartbeat. He's the only 2-way player of the 3.
