    Surprised Harden didn't hurt his hamstring with that move

    Durants an amazing scorer and since hes gone to GS they’ve won because they just have so much talent its crazy. However Ive always felt KD didnt really fit with what they want to be. He’s always been kind of an ISO guy who’s height, length and shooting range has made him almost unstoppable. KD is a ball stopper though, thats his game. Prior to KD GS won on passing and player movement leading to great shots for Steph, Klay and the other shooters they had. Its weird to watch them with KD because his style so clearly different than the rest of the teams. This isnt so much a shot at KD as just an observation.

    Luka is so fun to watch, and Dallas has some other guys I like too. I'm kind of cheering for them to make the playoffs and ultimately lose to the Blazers of course. :)

    Aren't Mike and Joel actually best friends outside of basketball? Thought I read that somewhere years ago.

    He might as well have. Here is the crazy part. The Rockets gave CP3 that crazy contract. They have this year and 3 more years Next year 38.5 million, then 41+ million and 44 million. Almost 160 million guaranteed. Paul has had 9 hamstring injuries since 2009. One a year on average. This one will take about a month to get through. With the loss last night they are on the outside of the playoff hunt. Nobody is gonna pick that contract up in trade with his injury history. He is 33 years old and the clock is definitely ticking without question.

    Nobody is surprised he's hurt again. Houston never should of given a guy with his injury history the max contract.

    Crazy triple overtime game between Wiz and Suns.

    Beal got his first triple double but some guy named Thomas Bryant had 31 points and 13 rebounds and went 14/14 from the field.

    Doncic looked great, but went out with a hip contusion. Crashed into some fans. Wonder if he’ll miss our game? Sure seems like we play a lot of teams missing some of their better players.

    Makes up for the fact Portland still plays without a SF and a PF.

    You know what. I think the faceless guy dancing in the shirt behind you guys might be a member of Faith No More! He was probably there to remind you to play their music during a Blazer Cable timeout. You should really do that though. Make a certain portion of your audience happy like that.

    I really liked Bryant going into the draft a couple years ago. Nice to see him having a good second season. Even better to see him doing it not as a Laker.
