    Monty Williams last play was one on one on the post with Booker? I bet he learned that from Nate

    Watching the game, Nash had him on the bench for most of the comeback. I think the reserves cut the deficit from 24 to 4 before Harden got back into the game. Then he came up big at the end, although Chris Paul hit some big shots in there, too.

    every team is having big runs with the 3 pt fest...tonight we had Trent miss 3 3s in a row..Simon miss 2...Melo miss 2...Dame miss a couple and on the other side they made shots....that's how the 20 pt lead disappears and it happens every night now with so many 3s. 3 pt shot doesn' allow many empty possessions when the other team is making them. It's going to happen.

    It finally happened! Thanks to Harden and the Nets pulling off a huge comeback in Phoenix, we finally gained ground on one of the teams ahead of us and are not tied for 4th!

    I think that’s BS.
    Remind Dray that the checks are clearing. Until they bounce, show up and do your job.

    Why are the Bulls and Pistons both scheduled for two games today? I know neither are happening because of Covid but WTH

    He had a few good points (AD being fined but not the Pistons) but for the most part, the only ones really throwing players under the bus when they demand a trade are the fans and the media. The NBA cannot control social media.

    He is showing up and doing his job. And making good points about hypocrisy.

    I have never seen people whine so much while making tens of millions of dollars.

    I have--owners during lockouts or strikes. And that's while also being worth hundreds of millions or billions.

    Instructions unclear - am I supposed to be on the side of the multi-millionaires or the other multi-millionaires/billionaires?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    What's the relevance of your question? You said you've never seen people who make millions complain about things like NBA players and I pointed out that the much wealthier owners fit that bill.

    I guess let me know the next time a lockout comes around and I'll be on the lookout for whiny billionaires.
