The streams work great on a device but I haven't found a way to cast or play them on my big screen...

Magic gave him Lance Stephenson, Michael Beasley, and Rajon Rondo to work with.  What more do you want?

No shit. Lowe tweeted that they're currently 7th in offense and 23rd in defense...I'd argue that that's actually overachieving in those categories with their roster. In what world were Stephenson, Rondo, Kuzma, JaVale, and regular season LeBron even going to be mediocre on defense?

A 3-5 start with suspensions mixed in is nowhere near time to start giving your coach "win or else" ultimatums. The West is tough going with only one sure win left in the conference. Patience.

Steph just hit a 3 that rattled around a bit before it went in.  He looked like he was a little disappointed in himself.

[Machinator 32097]

The Timberwolves make me sad. What terrible basketball.

[hobbes2702 12799]

Yea that was pretty awful down the stretch 

[NowThis 931]

minn was up 86-84 iirc toward the end of the 3q. I stepped away for a while and with about 3 minutes remaining, GS was up by 15. Damn, what happened?

Your first time watching GSW? They can turn any deficit into a good size lead in short time.

[Machinator 32097]

Thibs put in an offensively challenged lineup to begin the 4th and Draymond put on a DPOY performance.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8799]

Jimmy went iso jimmy and was 0-8 from deep.

 

Kat had 2 second half points.

 

We weren't winning the way Thompson started the quarter with 8 points in 30 seconds but fuck jimmy.

[Kermit 3128]

It could be worse, I mean look at the Wizards.

That might actually lead to murder and you know what...I’m all for it!

This could be an important pickup as backup C and 15 minute a night guy.

[immortal13 4059]

Lakers seem desperate

[Dutchrudder 11115]

Oladipo didn't have a great game overall, but he was fucking clutch as hell to win this one:

Kawhi @ Lebron tonight, only 2 meetings a year, and it's not on national TV 

[BigOrange1 6422]

the wolves really need to come to their senses and trade him.  it's over.

 

[immortal13 4059]

Damn

[Vic Mackey 46932]

Is GM LeBron interested?

Kawhi isn’t playing.

[Vic Mackey 46932]

Kawhi isn’t playing.

How much rest does he need? Or is he hurt?

Probably precautionary. Or his pussy hurts. Who knows? 

 

Uncle Dennis knows.

Hes a world class twat. I hope owners offer him less than the insulting 100,000,000/4yr offer he turned down this summer

They ain't gonna shoot 79% the rest of the game, and the Lakers just play "defense", but sheesh.

41-10 so far in Q1 and no Kawhi! wow.

 

[NowThis 931]

Serge Ibaka has 20 in Q1 and the Lakers have 12.  Is this real?

[Goo Punch 4275]

lol i got the raptors at +3.

[NowThis 931]

i'm guessing TOR wanted payback on Lebron for years of misery and burst out of the locker room with blood in their eyes. 

[BigOrange1 6422]

they are putting on a fucking show.

[NowThis 931]

Ibaka is 11-11 and 3-3 FTs for 26 points at halftime. His career high is 31. 

[Vic Mackey 46932]

 

[TexasMan 10786]

 

[UTDD 362]

I really like Toronto's defensive potential.  Good length and speed everywhere.  They definitely can win the East if they play well.  OG/Siakim/Ibaka/Kawhi are really good parts for a great defensive lineup and guys like Green are no slouches either and he was All-Defense 2nd team pretty recently to boot.  I think Lowry is no slouch defensively either even with his size.

Westbrook went down on an ankle injury.  Looks very serious.  Probably a LAS, so 2-3 weeks maybe?  Just speculation so no one freak out.

Is Lavar Ball coaching defense?

I thought they hired the Lithuanian coach away from his sons former team.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Zach Lavine went for 41 tonight

Jamal Murray went for 48

Andre Drummond had 25 points and 24 boards

Marc Gasol is one assist and two points shy of a triple double in the 3Q

[immortal13 4059]

I wish they would get rid of these 'Players Only' broadcasts. Cause they suck

 

Meanwhile, Golden State shifts into high gear and turns a close game with the Griz into a 20 point runaway in the blink of an eye. 

[hobbes2702 12799]

Seriously how do they not know that everyone hates the Players only shit

And he didn't even get the rebound. Sad!
