mercifully, yes he is out to the pasture

brandon ingram is stretch armstrong

if you hate defense do i have a game for you

brow putting up 50 in a loss in the first game of the season is very depressing

harden has a shot at a double double in the first quarter

harden already has 12 pts 7 assists

harden's passing is so good

and fittingly that quarter ends 38-38 on an off-balance lou williams 3

harden is going to save my fantasy league this yr and i somehow drafted him sixth

giannis had a big line tonight

the over in this lakers/rockets game must have been huge, both teams are on pace to score like 140

the suns already look miserable

who tf is coaching the suns this year

earl watson!

suns played relatively well down the stretch under him last year

if you ever want to feel sadness spend a few minutes imagining a suns nets game

harden looks like he's in visibly better shape this season. his shoulders and upper back look sculpted.

yeah he came out the gates so outta shape last year.

this game is fun

pau gasol - lamarcus aldridge works like a charm

this felt wrong to me so i checked the lineup finder and for the one game vs GSW pau/lma had the spur's second worst two man +/- rating at -13 in 16 minutes.

they are just too slow together and pau's defense is awful. aldridge is better paired with dedmon imo

they could be worse imo and they were playing dubs starting lineup....

guess what? lakers and kings are ahead of the warriors in the division. lol

oh they will get worse, pau is 36.

lakers and kings should savour this very brief moment

aaron gordon looked good last night. his three pt shot looked very pure. it doesn't seem crazy that he could credibly play SF with two big guys but maybe the numbers will show that doesn't work.

ya nice to have hoops back

though ive shocked myself by mostly watching baseball this week

smh

hes a cleveland guy it makes sense

baseball is good imo, it's football that is the enemy

i'll watch once we hit the elimination games

i kinda wanted to get into the playoffs this year but i did not

i'm going to "stay frosty" til i feel that the cubs are in a safer position, i.e. chapman facing off against naquin with an 8 run lead and two out in the ninth and the cubs up 3-1 in the series. or until the victory parade.

certainly wasn't much to get into from a red sox perspective :/

+/- is just noise when minutes is too low (especially so for multivariate)

as NBA fans in 2016 we should all be in agreement on this one

baseball and hoops have the best most entertaining players, NFL has some guys.

Re: pau, his defense was atrocious. Feet glued to the floor while Steph ran actual circles around him

the only excuse any ILHers have is that they are patritos fans since they are still dominant and have one of two actual superstars in the league + gronk

stephen runs circles around everyone tho

kevin love that one time
