    Bucks went 1-11 from distance in 4th quarter last night. Indiana applied a thick layer of Pacer sprinkles for a shiny New Year's victory in Milwaukee.

    It’s like somebody stayed up too late and forgot what day they were supposed to open this thread?

    It’s hard to get interested in games around the league this year. I don’t hate any teams. Lakers, I know, but they suck anyway. Only thing I care about is the development of Scoot and Sharpe. For this reason, I really do enjoy Blazers games this year. I’m fine with playing really well and then Chauncey throwing the game. It’ll pay off in a year or two. Look at Wolves and OKC. That’s us in two years.

    Bulls start their new year 0-12 from deep. Currently a Chicago snoozefest in Philly.

    Damn, I was really hoping they continue on this little run and forget about tanking until next season. That’d be one less seller on the market this deadline.

    I feel the same way about this season—only interested in seeing how the young guys look at the end of the season.

    I’ve also found a lot of fun in rooting for LAC, LAL, HOU, PHX in spot games, any team right ahead of the Warriors lol. We currently also project to have the #34 and #38 pick, so I root against the Hawks and Hornets as well.

    there's probably a reason why no NBA team has hired Gilbert Arenas in an advisory position. While his shows are entertaining, it works better to revisit history then predict the future.

    Agreed. With just about every team, I am finding a reason to watch. Many near .500 with playoff aspirations and the teams at the bottom not openly tanking.

    Didn't he also try to put Jamal Crawford in the GOAT conversation? No reason to listen to his opinions. Have heard a few good stories from him though.

    Why DVR when League Pass has all the games?

    Might have to create a separate thread on watchability of each team.

    Gary "two weeks" Payton exited the Warriors game today with a scary hamstring issue...to the shock of NOBODY! Really glad they took him back after all. Brought us a boatload of 2nd round picks as well.
