No Wright and OG for the Raps tonight.

BTW this isn't a hot take but something i've noticed in watching Kawhi, the man is a stone cold killer. He doesn't celebrate, always has the same expression and it seems like the game is in slow motion for him. One can appreciate awesome/great players when you see them every once in a while as an opponent but when you watch one of them on your own team you come away amazed at how great these athletes can be.

If it's just one year of Leonard i'm gonna just sit back and enjoy the ride.

He's already doing things DeRozan, Bosh and VC never did. 6-0 start.

Boogie's Achilles may not be ready to go, but his yelling at the refs game is in mid-season form. Games played 0, ejections 1.

When I saw Cousins had been ejected, I just started laughing, this kid, while very talented, is such a crybaby, he acts like a child who throws a fit when he dont get his way.


You got to figure, the whole league, is paying close attention to not just how Cousins comes back from his injury, but also how he acts this season. He is on a team, that has been dominating the NBA for the past 4 yrs, and the only thing that would keep them from a 5th straight finals appearance and a 4th ring, would be if a slew of injuries to the 4 stars.
So if Cousins cant keep his emotions under control on this star studded team, that is on another level from the rest of the teams in the league, he wont ever be able to control his emotions.


As talented as he is, Im sure there is several GM's, who even if Cousins comes back as good as ever from this injury, will say we dont want to deal with that mental case.







On another note, looks like Tyreke Evans, is out for tonight Pacers game, although were playing the Cavs so he shouldnt really be needed,lol.



Disappointed to see Tyreke has already broken a team rule, but he did apologize, and said this was the best and most professional organization he has ever played for, and he is sorry and will do better. So it seemed heart felt, and that he wasnt just giving a line of BS to the media. So will see, I hope he did mean what he said, because he has already been a huge help to the team in his on court play.

Wow, terrible technical foul call against the Nets. If you give a tech to Ed Davis for pushing away Hill, you give a tech to Hill for going into the Nets huddle during a timeout.

Never understood while Officials let opposing players go into another team’s huddle.

It’s funny(at times)but I figured that’d be one of the things they’d be tight with.

Oh well, Russell committed a silly TO at the end.

Nets played an excellent game for 47:30 and kind of fell apart there at the end. That technical on Davis was terrible. And RIP Jarrett Allen.

The reason players go into other teams huddle is because the timeout is over. I couldn't tell if that was the case last night. As they get people off the court or one team wraps up their huddle faster. I agree refs should put a stop to it though. It was funny as hell. But I think it needs to stop. So what happen last night shouldn't.

Rockets without Harden lose to the Clippers by 20, Gordon and Paul both had bad games. It's worrying when the Rockets Top 3 performers were Melo, Capela and Gerald Green.

They are either missing Ariza that bad. Or Melo is that bad at defense lol. Jk

Also just add. Last night lost is Russell fault. Why are you trying to throw a no look pass when all you need is a simple pass to a wide open player.

So basically he fits right in with Draymond and KD, who led the league in technicals a year ago lol. It's too bad the such a historically talented team has 3 headcases. It's like dudes, you're more stacked than any team in history, quit crying about ****.

Exact reason I'm glad Lakers traded him. Loved him outta college, but D'Lo is only out to help D'Lo. Never played team ball and I don't think he ever will.

If we had him oppose to Lonzo, I truly think the Lakers may have missed on LeBron.

Re: 10/23 - 10/29 Games Discussion Thread

Yeah that’s not true.

Hasn’t been true since he’s been a Net either.

I've watched him enough in both uniforms, so I'm still glad he's not in our nucleus for our future. I see him being nothing more than a volume shooter that shoots inefficiently... you can have him Pack

Great early games on tonight for us on the East Coast kinfolk!

Lakers @ Spurs 8:30 start time

Re: 10/23 - 10/29 Games Discussion Thread

I’m talking about the notion that he’s only out to help himself and is not a team player.

That part isn’t true since he’s been here, on/off the court.

Ball staying in the starting lineup ahead of Rondo.

Correct decision by Walton. His real dilemma will be his closing lineup; Make Em Dance Lance or Brandon Ingram next to Ball, Hart, Kuzma, and LeBron? And then when you need McGee in there, who does he replace?

Besides LeBron, and as you say McGee when you need a real center, I think that the rest of the closing lineup will be variable, determined by who is hot from 3, played with energy and effectiveness on the defensive end, and has made good decisions on the offensive end. If Lonzo can maintain consistency with his 3 point shooting(staying above 35%) he'll close all the games too, IMO.

LOL, that was my thinking, when they got Cousins, they just added another crybaby to the team. They have the 2 splash brothers, and now they have the 3 whine *** brothers, in Draymond, KD, and Cousins.

Mirotic with 15 points in the 1st quarter vs Jazz, 6-7 FG 3-3 3PT, he hasn't cooled off yet unlike Griffin who's scoreless at the end of the 1st.

Re: 10/23 - 10/29 Games Discussion Thread

Rubio (20) and Gobert (16) combine for 36 points in the first half against the Pelicans, Utah up 64 to 49

Without Davis, NO is getting destroyed inside by Gobert lobs and dunks
