Wiggins missing those FT's and then that dunk is a tough way to go out. I think that was Gary Harris who was playing defense, whoever it was though was right on him but thats a play I expect the more athletic guy to make

He's played weak all year at the rim. Not surprised.

I just don't get, it's almost like he's ashamed of his athletic gifts. Breh must have been ostracized as a kid, being physically more talented than anybody playing AAU. It's just baffling how often he refuses to run even though he is one of the faster wings at his position or even dunk the ball. At first, I thought might he be banged up why he trying euro step and layup everything; Look at how easy he could have yoked on chandler right here . He just going up soft, that play could easily would've been and-1 or free throws if he even attempts to dunk this. But I guess it's improvement, any other game Wiggins probably tries a fadeaway long 2

I keep telling yal.... Wiggins is like Gohan if Piccolo never stepped up to be his father dude don't give one fukk about #ballislife

He'd probably be out trying to be the black steve irwin if he wasn't a 6'8 freak athlete

Watching TV One as I type this

Eddy Curry is a fukkin dirtbag

That 8th seed up for grabs and AD is the best player out of everyone on the teams in the hunt for it

I think the Pels can get it with them getting more healthy and Buddy playing better

Breh, a 8th seed means nothing to New Orleans.

We need better front office management

Tyreke is no savior

He's been here three/four years, breh

Not to meation this Team is AD, maybe Jrue, and 'nem

And we're bound for another month of injuries

I have no faith we'll be over .500 by All-Star

So the Warriors are now the top defensive team in the league (#1 Drtg, lead the league in blocks, steals, and opponent's FG%) and KD has been a major reason why. Sacrificing Bogut's size was worth it

Harris is showing out this season taking opportunity , him and KCP are two of my favorite 2 way players to watch

Still giving up too many points, it won't end well when it matters for a jump shooting team.

Rose was fukkin up lol. He'd been hittin like 51% of his shots in the paint but all his floaters last night were flat/short... and breh kept on jackin em up.

At some point in the next year or 3, KP is going to bulk up his frame and will learn how to actually back someone down ala Dirk. At that point the game will slow down considerably for him and he'll be nigh indefensible.

Raw points doesn't matter. They play at one of the fastest paces in the league so of course teams will put up over 100 points against them. The defensive rating - points scored per 100 possessions, is what actually matters.

Going off of raw points is what tricked people into thinking the Knicks and Nets were actually good defenses a couple of years back when they were actually ass and only allowed low point totals because they were the slowest teams in the league.

Jabari going at opposing PF's is usually just a nightmare to check, and the Greek with them 2 steps that cover 38 feet is just


The Pistons need to do something about Jackson, he's sucked the life out the team and basically killed whatever breakout KCP was about to have.

Son has been been averaging more 3pt and shot attempts than KCP during his stretch

KCP was looking so fluid before Jackson came back, he was even becoming a decent creator off of the dribble in his own right(had Drummond eating). Now he's back to catch and shoot when possible when Reggie is on the floor. The ball doesn't move consistently anymore

Same as last season though, I'd like to see what happens when the defense tightens up in the playoffs and those jumpers aren't falling the same.
