kev, the refs looking right at that foul. no need to enhance it.

took me like 5 seconds to realize you weren't talking about our kevin

Finally get to watch the Pistons tonight, spent the whole offseason wondering what Smith/Jennings/Drummond/Monroe would look like on the court.

PG and Lance are both playing way beyond where they were last season. PG learned some crazy Eurostep that he's been scoring off of a lot-- driving from sideline, takes the first step away from the basket, like a running back finding his hole, and then cut back sharply for his last steps.

Kinda sucks that the better Lance plays, the less chance Indy will be able to sign him in the offseason. He's been like nutzo Playoffs Lance so far, plus a new outside shot.

Granger's deal is expiring and Lance wants to stay, I think it'll work out

Naw, all their cap space is basically spoken for. They'd have to take a tax hit if they resigned Lance, and the Pacers ownership has never gone over tax iirc. Although if he keeps playing like this they might be willing to go over the tax just for business reasons, dude could have a serious break-out season.

75 seconds of harden seriously not giving a fuck about defense, this is absurd

Hahaha "oh shit" at :42.

the tax is gonna be over 70m next year I think, it should be do-able: http://www.hoopsworld.com/indiana-pacers-team-salary

I think in most scenarios where Lance earns a 12+m contract you're probably winning a title so it's not a huge concern I don't think haha

came here to post that harden vid, whats his problem damn

They'll have about $4M to spend on three roster spots w/no roster rearranging, seriously doubt they have money to resign Lance w/o moving some combo of Scola/Mahinmi/GHill.

his d is so broken it's like he never learned how to play it, like basic 7th grade stuff xp

From that same yt user, nice to zone out and watch Curry/Klay run their defenders off of duo-screens

then the ownership sucks. whats the point in being a multi millionaire guy(s) who owns a nba team

pay the tax for 2 years. dont resign david west. draft nice in the 25 ~ 30th pick. be a champion and make larry happy plz : ))

curry was kind of off last night they ran an elevator for him .. bang!

those dual screen are magical xxp

beasley off the dribble 3

i just found myself saying "nice defense" when a heat rotated to cut off a drive to the hoop, not realizing it was super cool beas

Tyson Chandler knee injury, doesn't look great but not obviously a catastrophe

was able to tenderly limp off

Giannis Antetokounmpo's younger brother Kostas enrolls at Milwaukee school, Giannis says he's even more talented than his two older brothers #Giannisupdates

jennings looks bad. and i love bynum!

luigi datome hair situation is great too!

wade is a clown

uh the nuggets are starting Faried at SF tonight

bron breaking up public with wade, i would be thrilled

The raptors fake 3d court still fucks with my head, no wonder Rudy had to get his eyes fixed this summer

uh the nuggets are starting Faried at SF tonight

Lol this fuckin team

Ty Lawson
Jordan Hamilton
Kenneth Faried
J.J. Hickson
Javale McGee

unconventional

it's definitely must-see TV, I'll say that

no healthy player on that team has a prayer of staying with kawhi, why not i guess

oh ok they started hamilton at the 3, makes sense

Josh Smith has shot 28 threes in 3 games. He's made 7.

lol neva change, smoove

it is supremely unlikely that he will

pj tucker is an A+ pickup, really useful

knicks fall to bobcats at home ;)

they need to figure out what they're doing with their perimeter D, they just get torched by any semi-quick guard

though maybe kemba is just unstoppable at MSG

kemba remains probably my favorite guy that i'm not sure i've ever actually seen play

LOL knicks in this!

nvrmnd missed free throw

Monta and Dirk is a pretty sweet combo, and Calderon is a good complement to his skills I think

damn, harden on the break
