Spurs locker room also filled with smoke, players say. Team is retreating to the bus, ostensibly to breathe.

I mean, one end of the gym is enveloped in a haze of smoke. Smells vaguely of burned plastic. They can't play like this.

No official word on anything but did just hear the phrase "we might have to evacuate."

I'm no scientist but I think I've heard that where there's smoke there's fire.

Players still warming up as if show will go on. But it obviously can't until the lights come back on.

So there's smoke leaking from the ceiling and power is out in one half of the arena. Doesn't seem good.

This is 1000% true and in fact usually the discussion is "do you think Lebron will still be good enough to be the best player when Kobe retires"

I just want to verify that someone has eyes on Nikola Pekovic and that he's not, uh, looking furtive, okay? #SeeSomething #SaySomething

That legendary Milwaukee dancefloor wax strikes again.
I remember Vin Baker breakdancing there back in 1995, and he didn't stop spinning for over 6 minutes when he did a headspin.
He was listed in the boxscore the next day as 'DNP-dizzy'.
that shit cray

Stern knows them both and plays down any acrimony, saying, “Oh, they love the attention.” But Stern did feel compelled to arrange a luncheon last summer for the owners to clear the air.

At a September news conference to announce the teams’ joint hosting of the 2015 All-Star Game, Dolan quipped that he got a “free lunch” out of the meeting.

Asked what he got out of it, Prokhorov wrote in his email, “As logic would dictate, the check.”

Trey Burke has made a huge difference for the Jazz

hahahahah

lolllll

how-- why--

haha Durant nice d bruh

seriously wtf was he doing, thats some Harden level D right there

Scotty Brooks mad is really funny to watch

rip city, rip rip city

this team keeps surprising me

Like every night I expect to be the beginning of an 8 game losing streak or something (sorry Clay)

Wes Matthew the gawd only 4/12 tonight

Ha Russ just dove at the end, good no call.

Yeah, Russ wasn't fouled on that. Brooks iced the loss with that T, but being 6 up the blazers were going to win regardless.

does the blazers arena seem brighter this year to anyone else or is it just me

didn't notice

if anyone missed it here are highlights of the Dubs coming back from 27 down in the third, to win by 9. I think the 2nd biggest come back in nba history or something?
