Warriors rolling out new splash bros lineup tonight.

Schroeder
Moody
Hield
Wiggins
Jackson-Davis

Feel sorry for the tech bros who payed $1000 for tickets.

And yet they won but they were playing against a lineup of:

Drew Eubanks

Brice Sensabaugh

Micah Potter

Collin Sexton

Isaiah Collier

NBA action, it's fantastic.  However, Kyle Flipowski with 10 points off the bench so his groomer wife might be feeling a little better about her investment.

Do Spurs fans want him as Wembys sidekick? 

I think his stats and efficiency will bounce back on a new team with a better environment. The Spurs always seem to get more out of their guys, I think going from Sac to SA would be a huge help to him. 

It’s better than the what we got.

Our good friend Rich Paul doing his best to sabotage the nba saying Fox wants to goto SA and would be reluctant to sign anywhere else when his deal is up.

I wonder if Curry, Fox’s alleged mentor, can stick his foot in the door? The Warriors probably don’t make the playoffs without Fox, and they really have no hope for the future beyond this Hail Mary.

Ugghhhh, the issue isn't the length of games, it's the length of the season. Most of your own damn players don't care enough to try and play more than 72 games a season, because they get bored or feel it's somewhat irrelevant.

Yeah…. Shorten game by 16%? Or shorten the season by 16% instead. Already too damn long

Shortening games saves money. Shortening the season loses money.

Guess which one billionaires are going to pick?

1000% this.   Giving up games is NEVER going to be an option.   It shouldnt be anyway but its never going to happen.

Please drop off Jokic’s stolen MVP trophy the next time you are in Denver. Oh wait…

The epitome of bitchassness.

I watched most of that game, I'm getting Ron Artest and Ben Wallace vibes. Those two teams really don't like each other at all. Tyrese was talking crazy shit and backing it up. He did Malik Beasley's little shuffle celebration after hitting the dagger. Cade got Td up, Bickerstaff got Td up and Myles Turner got Td up late for pushing Beasley. Also I forgot that the Pacers have James Johnson on their roster. Beef Stew is hilarious but may want to tread lightly with Mr. Johnson. I'm going to try to remember to watch next time these teams play.

I find it amusing Silver was characterizing a 40 minute game as the natural fit for 2 hr TV windows. Its fucking rare that college games arent blowing through the 2 hr allocation these days, as they are jampacked with ads. I have no reason to think NBA broadcasts would be any different. You know they dont want to lose too many ad sales. Would they go to 5 fouls? It would fundamentally change the sport in a way that seems excessive because you want to better fit in a 2 hr window. Figure out a way to play a 48 minute game in 2 hrs.

If they truly wanted to speed up the game, you would centralize all reviews or have a 4th official whose job is solely to do reviews.  No more huddling up, then go to the monitor, then huddle up again, then announce the call

Every sport should have a ref in the press box looking at monitors. They can radio down to a ref on the field/court immediately to confirm/overturn a call.
