What a wild game! This kings bench is unbeliveable. And for some reason these guys couldn't miss.

Every game we play some bum turns into an allstar. In this case not a bum but the old legend Vince Carter.


Them Chicanos don worked some Mexican juju and stolen LeBrons jumper in oakland

JR comes into every game asleep and needs a slap on the face to wake up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Kevin Love seems to have gotten his bounce back, let's hope ITs return doesn't take him out of rhythm.


That slow grind....

Did anyone see that Jayson Tatum Move? My Goodness. Boston Got a real one @Roland17 you guys are lucky.

By far, the most complete rookie in his class. Tonight, you could see him being responsible for his play because he did not settle for any jumpers or three's. He attacked the rim throughout the game and was efficient with his plays on both ends of the court. This kid is a franchise player!

You can always trust the Lakers to lose to a Mike Conley-less Memphis.




Jesus Christ.

So you're telling me the Lakers look boring,can't create their own shots,lack someone that can distribute the ball and also clueless offensively without Lonzo Ball?


Thought you said he "can't shoot."

Rondo had 25assists last night,The Lakers had 14.

Oh yeah. Lakers have never gone on a losing streak with Lonzo. They've not won even when he's on the bench

He's really the MVP of that team...

Are you a spastic?

Quick Question Guys: Milwaukee bucks, Are they over achieving or under achieving?

The team looks scary on paper, but I don't get it, I think they should be top 3 teams in the east.

Who woke up the MVP

Not even on this anymore but this is funny as hell!

Top 3? That's asking too much...

They can't go over the top 3 in the East. Their rightful position should be 4/5 before or after Wizards. So, to your question; they're slightly underachieving. Then again, Bucks have played the least number of games in comparison to others.

Wolves on paper look more deadly than Spurs. We have the top 3 for each conference and going above definitely means overachieving in relative to the top 3's performances, which are as expected.

Moreover, the East has always been that team that with more teams vying for playoff spots or having more teams over .500. You can't deny the competition there wouldn't stop people from having 60 wins. We all thought the West would change the story this year but it didn't. Lakers and Jazz have been underwhelming and injuries have marred Clippers season.

So, let's wait for them to pick up on their number of games and then we judge.

The best point guard in the West vs the best point guard in the East. Should be interesting.

You got to give it to Harden, the man is a pure scorer. He scores in different ways that are difficult to defend and his ball handling has improved significantly.

Th injuries have piled up and Brad is having to dig very deep into the roster.

Total turnover-12
The total field goal made-14

That's the story of the game for me.

Celtics need to figure out how to rotate players on him while simultaneously protecting the rim. You guys can't do much about those 5 3 point shooters but getting them off positions will change their rhythm.

But the most important is Horford. He's trash panda this half...

Horford don go bench, Celtics playing their best defense and lead is down to 13.

He needs his form this 4th quarter

GREEN RUNS DEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP

What a comeback, big, big credit to M. Smart. He was terrific..

Didn't look like it was going to be in the first half but this was a thrilling encounter.

Love the never die attitude of these celtics. Found myself rooting for them and I don't know why, maybe I'm a bigger kyrie fan than I care to admit.


The amount of FTs Harden shoots is preposterous. But the refs giveth and the refs taketh away.


Ooh and Jayson Tatum is special.

It's like Horford's a NLer...

Smart played smartttt. Rockets had no answer in the 2nd half.

Harden made a mess for a leader...

I won't commend smart as much as I'd bash harden for his shameless petulance.

The rookie with the best handles hands down...

Goes beyond his handles man. The maturity in every aspect of his game is impressive, even for a duke alumnus.

His future is looking better than the other rookies out there.

The only reason he's not ahead in rookie rankings is cos he's not the go to guy. I'm sure he'll take his impact and participation in playoffs over ROY.

Chris Webber raised a very important question about Ben Simmon's eligibility for the ROY award. I have to agree with him because in the true sense Simmons is a sophomore player in the NBA. During his first season after being drafted, he was exposed to the teams training, tactics, the routine of the NBA including travels and other components of being an NBA player.

I don't really like the Rockets final minutes strategy. Basically, they just ISO Harden and this makes it easy for teams would good one on one defenders to defend him. This was the strategy from the final 2 minutes of the game. They probably would have won if they involved other players in the scheme during the final minutes.

Yeah. He has a great coach at a talented young team and he seems to have formed a bond with kyrie who also went to duke. He's definitely on the right track. Haven't seen Markelle Fultz yet so I won't call him the best player from his draft school yet but right now it's a tossup between him and Mitchell.

I'm starting to see the sense in people who don't count Ben Simmons as a rookie. It truly isn't fair to the true rookies like Tatum out there.

Turns out smart held him to 0-7 shooting and forced 4 turnovers. I guess you were right, he does deserve a lot of credit.

Wow...nice comeback from you guys...you guys are a real threat this season..

You have an excellent coach in Brad and a clutch player(with killer instinct) in Kyrie..

I think that's what they did against us too.
