    I love the new and improved BGD bot. You should train with Meyers next off-season.

    The crew on TNT say the Clippers are the sleeper team in the west and they will surprise people.

    I'm watching now. Melo, PG13, and Westbrook are all being guarded with single coverage.

    We don't double them. And I'll bet we don't this season either. Jussayin.

    Somebody needs to better differentiate between double teaming, help defense, and digging down on post players.

    HCP doesn't know what he's talking about. As usual.

    Porzingis has so much potential. He is literally the only decent thing Jackson did while at the Knicks.

    All day, everyone is talking about the Suns' record breaking loss. No one is talking about Portland's record breaking win. Ugh. Gonna have to beat Indy by 48 too.

    OKC beating up a terrible Knicks team. But, OKC has 3 points off of the bench so far halfway through the 3rd. Their bench is the Achilles heel big time.

    Melo all up in the ref's face having a long convo. That's exactly why I'd never referee the NBA.

    Why do we have to be validated by the media for beating the shit out of a horrible team?

    Not impressed with OKC's mere 20 point lead.

    Suns aren't that bad. They have a premier backcourt and a championship vet at center. We've struggled vs Suns. Lost to them last year. YES we should be validated for winning by FORTY EIGHT points! Why isn't Houston criticized for barely beating the awful Kings?

    Oh cool, I look forward to this all season. If somebody doesn't win a game by 49 or more they aren't better than the blazers, right?

    Maybe this time you and HCP should hold another bet but this time no money involved.
