I know, I was just busting your balls

[HarlemHeat37]

No more crazy than going from a grind it out post up game to run and gun.

True..it just seems like an eternity since the team relied so much on 1-on-1 to win..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

where's Bobo been tbh?

[ElNono]

These seats are un- ing-real... det MSG Jumbotron tho

[Fireball]

Can Danny somehow get it going ... he only burned the Rockets in preseason ... all his other games were forgettable on the offensive end ... right now he is overpaid

[100%duncan]

There was a glitch on nba live 2006 where Duncan doesnt miss a babyhook. You can really shoot a hookshot from the 3pt line.

Something about Anderson is that even though he's slow, he has had good stretches of his defense just using his length. It gives me hope for his future.

He has good instincts to and is agile enough to keep up when he's in a proper defensive stance. What he is not, is explosive. He's not explosive at all, but he has enough agility to keep up with his guy, unless he's standing out of position, which is where a lot of rookies get beat. He has improved, and should continue to get better.

[Mr. Body]

As long as they have Carmelo, they are ty.

They'll be in the playoff mix this year.

[DMC]

Well the Spurs don't sell the commercial time; doubt there would be a restriction against that.

I know that. Why not have Randalls commercials?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

do not remind of that game ... but Waiters did not on Anderson tbh

Mind if I remind you of another game in the same setting, a little different time of year? Stephen Jackson had 8 three pointers and the Spurs were up by 20....

Have fun, Nono!

[mystargtr34]

The more i watch Leonard's offensive game evolve the more its reminding me of Melo's to a degree. Not as gifted as Melo on that end offensively, but he can pretty much score in every way known, and usually when he can't get a clean look he'll just bully his way to a bucket.

[Brian Windhorst]

Pretty crazy that in just a year and a half, the Spurs went from a historically balanced team that needed to play elite team basketball to win, to today's team that is relying strictly on individual talent advantages to overwhelm the opposition..

1on1 matchups become a ton easier when you have the most prolific scorer in the league on the floor (in terms of FGM) tbh. LMA doesn't even have to make shots to effect the other team's rotations.

But this team is being carried by defense so far tbqh. Take away all of the West/Diaw stretches and we're probably giving up under 18 points a quarter.

they'll miss the playoffs even in the least, lol derek fisher

UNT is just an Anderson hater. Waiters did a number on Tony, but somehow Anderson lost us the game. Right?
Nope!

Not saying much in the eastern conference.

[Darius McCrary]

Can this team as it's constructed even perform the Beautiful Game offense?

[BD24]

No kidding ? Thats pretty solid. I used to be really damn good at all of the nba 2ks. Don't have the time to play them enough to be at that level on the new ones though. Won alot of my beer money betting with idiots on 2k in college.

[Raven]

Porzingis looks great. He's like the player Bargnani was supposed to be, plus lots of rebounds. This isn't the ty Knicks anymore. They're not great but they have some young players who aren't bad.

if bargnani had a 7-6 wingspan, was smart, cared and was fast.

Is it true that fat guy spilled his beer and nachos all over you

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Nope!

TP didn't airball a wide open corner 3 one possession then proceed to throw up a 17 foot one handed puke shot with 15 seconds on the shot clock clinging to a 1-point lead halfway through the 4th quarter on the next possession... tbh

[Brian Windhorst]

This is a pretty perfect stretch of games to integrate the new guys tbh. I can imagine the mood on this board would be pretty different if we had Houston's schedule right now.

[Mr. Body]

You guys are morons. This Knicks team isn't bad.

[Russ]

Whose starting on the Lakers? Kirbs and D'bust or is Clarkson still starting?

All of the above.

[SAGirl]

West looks awesome with Duncan. I'd like to see more Diaw with Aldridge on the flip side. Once LMA gets comfortable that could be a great combo too.

Completely agree with you.
