    It reminds me back in the day of playing American Legion baseball at Sckavone field in the summers and my parents use to tell me about 3 or 4 guys probably in their 70's that came to almost every game and sat and complained about today's (back then) baseball players just not knowing how to play the game anymore.

    Hopefully, Nets still have some energy to beat Memphis tomorrow.

    Wow, Celtics blow game to the Nets as Marcus Smart fouls Levert with ,2 seconds to go shooting a 3 and Boston was up by 3. Makes all three and on to overtime where the Nets dominate and pull out an 8 point win in Boston. Boston also had an 18 point lead early in the 4th.

    I turned it off when Boston was up quite a bit to spend time with my kids. They mustve really choked.

    Impressive Timberwolves? They have the second worst record in the west and have a 3-7 record over their last 10. Why are they impressive?

    Wow. They didn't have Tatum though. Still, what a big mistake by Smart. So many big 4th quarter comebacks in the NBA this year.

    They are a MUCH better team with Malik Beasley now. Plus, they have Juancho and DLo. They are not the same team that sucked all year. With a full training camp with the new guys plus KAT back, they will be tough team to deal with next year.

    The foul by Smart on Levert was a terrible play. Smart bailed him out by fouling when he was shooting behind the 3 point line. Craziness.

    Speaking of Wolves, did you guys know Wiggins lost 20 straight games recently? Lost 13 straight with Wolves and then got traded to GS where he lost 7 more.

    do you know how many times I have heard that this is the year for TWolves and they will finish ahead of the Blazers? Way to many. A better word might have been improving TWolves and not impressive as they haven't done anything to impress.

    Beating desperate Pels in NO is impressive. Or maybe Pels are overrated.

    Damn Hornets had a shot in the last possession to beat the Spurs but no. Helpful Pelicans loss at home!

    No offense dude, but how many times have we heard this? If Jimmy Butler couldn't "save" them, I rather doubt Beasley is up to it! :dry:

    Jimmy Butler did save them. They were good that year when he played.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Turning off a basketball game to spend time with your kids? I really have to question your priorities.

    Remember, your kids will be there tomorrow, but that game was a live event and is now gone forever.
