Re: December Games Discussion Thread

Lakers winning 8 of their last 10 isn't interesting to people, I guess. It should be tho.

Lakers, Nets and Warriors have been playing some good Basketball over the last month but NBA Fans only like to hear Drama about those 3 instead.

Re: December Games Discussion Thread

I went to the Pistons/Grizzlies game and had a pretty good time. First time in the LCA. Last Pistons game I went to was at the now defunct Palace of Auburn Hills in 2007.

Yeah, they stink, but I went there to see Memphis play. Felt like I got some good heel heat rocking the throwback Grizzlies hat. That one hand throw down by Ja in the 3rd was nice. Left with 5 minutes to go, to beat the traffic and look for some Red Wings gear at the store.

Nice!! I've been meaning to fly out there for a game (my siblings work for the airlines. So it would be super cheap).

You and jeebs living your best life. Did the cheerleaders look alright[emoji1]?

Oh man the Cheerleaders were really good. I was definitely dancing to one of their timeout dances. I didn't even stick around for the halftime show.

I've been meaning to talk about this

The travels have been pretty crazy. I'm not crazy about them. Jordan Poole carries the ball like nuts. But traveling is a different story for me. Some of these are legit. But others so far off is a tempo killer.

They were straight. It was a 90’s themed night, which I enjoyed. So, the Pistons cheerleaders were wearing Britney Spears and Spice Girls costumes. It was okay I guess, but nothing like them thick Orlando cheerleaders lol

Some drunk chick was trying to show off her assets to some of the fellas around me, but got no sold. She wasn’t all that attractive, yet kept putting herself out there trying to draw attention - which made her even less attractive. Sadly, there was no Doris, Allie LaForce or Stephanie Ready working the game. I might’ve had to make a move to courtside.

Warriors 3rd quarter. This game is fun. 3 point shooting teams.

Re: December Games Discussion Thread

Curry called on another carry. Andrew have another great game. He's in either planet right now. He's got 31 and 13.

Re: December Games Discussion Thread

The whole Giannis free throw thing.. just make a decision to enforce the rule or not enforce the rule. This calling it sometimes, other times not, calling it like tonight but waiting until he got to 13 seconds instead of at 10… like just decide if you’re gonna enforce the rule or get rid of it. It’s not that damn difficult. How is Giannis even supposed to know how long he has if they are going to be all over the place with it.

Meh, he should “know” how long he’s had the ball for at some point(if he’s practicing this, I’m almost certain he has some of mental clock or has some Assistant or Ball Boy letting him know)but I also wouldn’t/don’t expect him to be counting down every time he has the ball in his hands at the line.

So even if they are all over the place, at some point he should know if he’s had the ball in his hands too long before shooting.

Re: December Games Discussion Thread

Celtics usage of Blake Griffin seems to be working well. Plays about once a week in Al Horford’s absence on the second night of a B2B. Appears fresh each time out. Makes a ton of hustle plays, brings energy, takes charges, moves the ball, doesn’t get in the way.

For how low expectations were going into the season, I’ll chalk what he’s given so far as a positive.

Replicating his Brooklyn role basically.

That’ll pretty much carry him for the rest of his NBA career.
