    Hmm... I'm actually enjoying it. It's not LA or NYC... it's one of the teams that sucked for years and years and are finally having their hayday.

    I only hope to go through what they are going through once!

    What? Warriors and Steph are like the most likable contender in recent history

    Exactly. Steph plays the game with such a fluidity and is so effortless... but not Harden effortless.

    I agree with this 100%. Warriors fans right now = What I hope to be some day. Great fan base that filled that stadium during some shitty seasons. They deserve their moment in the sun down there in the Bay Area - I can only hope ours follows.

    Then you talk about the team itself. Acquired top notch talent in the draft which eventually started attracting FA attention. Again something I would love to see happen in Rip City!

    Sixers up 15 at half in Miami!

    I think this might be their first lead of the season.

    I'm watching this Spurs/Grizzlies game and I would be lying if I said I noticed any drop off in production with LMA sitting out tonight...

    Every time I've seen them it seems Diaw is on the court when I turn the game on, and the Spurs (and Diaw) are playing well. Then after a few minutes LMA checks in for Diaw and it all goes to hell. Basically: Diaw performs better than LMA.

    That's not too ridiculous though, Diaw has been there for a while and knows the system. The thing in my mind though - It took Aldridge a few years to start being successful here. Is it going to take him 3 seasons to fit the system as well as Diaw did after 1 season & camp?

    Houston still sucks. That loss to them could be clutch when it comes time to draw numbers.

    Im watching the Houston/Knicks game, and man are the Houston announcers horrible.

    James Harden literally jumps into the knicks defender, getting an offensive foul called on him (and rightfully so) and the Rockets TV guys are like "Calderan just steps in front of him (Harden) and "falls down""

    Drexler "that's an interesting call there"

    "Are we sure we want to award defense for falling down"

    shows replay where it's obvious that Harden fucking jumps into the guy in an absolutely moronic play by Harden.

    "he was set tho...."

    Drexler "what is that? he was trying to get off the pick"


    seriously tho, Harden fucking ran, jumped into the defender (who was set) and they're bitching about it.

    It's horrible. If I didn't know any better I would think that Clyde had never played a day of basketball in his life.
