wow a korver three just made hubie as excited as ive ever heard him

bargs/melo pairing has to be the weakest defensive front court in the L

I can't wait for the Bargs/Amare pairing

It's now called "The Grindhouse" because watching basketball here feels like being dismembered in front of a camera.

fortunately budenholzer is making Bargnani look good by involving him in the only defense where he's acceptable

boris out there doing boris things

Jazz have the least overall effort of any team in the NBA. Jabari Parker is Mormon.

The years have taught me not to get cocky but I really like this year's Wolves team.

Btw Bynum was listed as out for "personal reasons"... is he going off the rails already?

Bynum has sharp pain in his knees again

holy shit blake

whoa did perk lose his starting job?

oh guess he dislocated his finger

wow at the distance on that missed dunk rebound

Jazz sign a D-League PG and finally get some competent PG play, whodathunkit

apparently he got the call from the Jazz while shopping at Walmart

this Anthony Bennett shot selection situation is out of control

that is not a clear path

lol Van Gundy pretending to want a replay is pretty good

haha yeah that was classic, he actually had me for a second

if the refs call this a clear path i just don't know

wow, not only was redick in front of KD, but his hands were literally touching his chest, which iirc from anatomy is on the front part of the body

wow CP3 is 55-57 from FT this year?

yeah i noticed he was 50/51 before yesterday

paul would have about 20 assists right now if the clips would make their shots

Hornacek CoY?

ibaka is a punk

WHOA

lotta punks in this game tbf

oh that was all griffin

god remember when Griffin seemed cool for a year or so

wow ibaka got hosed

okc just dropped 62 in the first half on your western conference champs

i'm back on the spurs bandwagon, 'twas fun

dragic and mo williams just slammed heads into each other so hard i'm surprised both came up conscious

I hope when the Clips get eliminated in the WC semifinals that someone trolls Doc hard about his parade route research

the JVG/breen pairing is such a national treasure. JVG literally spent like 5 minutes doing his high-pitched whining and breen was all "jeff i know, i agree with you, but..." the whole time

if the clippers are smart they'll make a serious deal at the deadline to get a real post defender

doris/jalen has the makings of a good studio but gtfo here with avery johnson

yeah they obv have to do a deal, i still think they'll be fine since the team as currently constructed is obv going to be a different team in april, and also the pieces that will presumably be central then (cp3, redick, blake) look great

agreed xp

clips D has been so bad all year

Reggie Miller ‏@ReggieMillerTNT 7m
I agree JVG, much to do about nothing!! Ibaka and Barnes ejected, REALLY?? This league is so soft...

phx/pdx two teams i wasn't expecting to be 5-2

thomas robinson is a revelation tonight ha

clay has bledsoe been shutting lillard down?

http://cjzero.com/gifs/BlakeGriffinFaceIbakaBlock.gif

lol classic blake face

suns d has been like consistently shutting down everyone, they're just playing insane tight d on everyone i don't know how

damn i totally forgot about ibaka dropping the hammer on blake's nuts

suns hired an old thibs confidant who is basically their defensive coordinator and has applied thibs' system
