The Pistons have won three straight against bad teams and have two more on their schedule before they play another good one. Everyone seems to be contributing and Ish + Beno keep things afloat much more easily than the horrors of Steve Blake and Spencer Dinwiddie. They may shrug off Jackson's injury after all.

I thought the general reaction to JVs contract was wondering why he signed a cheap contract. It was certainly mine at least.

Sort of, it was more of a "that's going to be a huge bargain if Casey ever starts using JV as much as he should" thing and while JV is a bargain anyways at this point, Casey still has a tendency to forget that he's on the team

Which team has the biggest homers as sportscasters? I've been watching games in spanish when possible but from what i've seen okc are pretty big homers. That might just be more a reflection of my watching raptors & thunder games though. It seems like the sweetest gig tbh.

The spaniard announcers are actually pretty insufferable homers in their own way; just losing their minds anytime ricky rubio , jose calderon or a gasol gets a touch.

I remember watching a Blazers stream last year and it was absolutely intolerable, but I think some of their people may have changed. Meanwhile I get to hear Tommy for every Boston home game and while he's probably technically the biggest homer in the world it's mostly used for comedic effect. Almost everyone hates it though

One more loss and it's the worse franchise start ever :negative: To newer NBA fans that might not seem so bad but if you're familiar with the 90s Mavs you understand how awful it really is.

My stepfather was friends with Dick Motta and he got a Mavs pennant signed by the whole team for me during the first year of the three Js but I can't find it anywhere. I'll send it to you if it ever find it, although that may take years

Homer announcers are weird coming from Australia where all football games are nationally televised and have neutral announcers. The first Boston game I watched was a real education. I've gotten used to home announcing but I generally prefer the less blatant guys

It helps to think of Boston's homer as an sentient octogenarian pack of cigarettes who happens to be a hall of fame NBA player and coach. He's ridiculous in a ridiculous way

I wish he'd shut up about basketball in general cuz it's clear that he hasn't paid attention or been plugged in for at least 3 years. It's not remotely amusing even if you're a boston fan

NEW ORLEANS -- The nameplate above Terrence Jones’ locker at the Smoothie King Center has been incorrect since the season began. Jones spells his first name with three E's, yet his locker boasts a rogue A for a spelling of “Terrance Jones.” Jones’ jersey number on the display is off too. He wears No. 9 in New Orleans, but his locker claims No. 6, the one he wore with the Houston Rockets.

“It’s crazy, man,” Jones recently admitted.

The point of examining the ramifications of how the Warriors have built their team isn't to argue that they've become a terrible team or are not still likely to be the best team in the west or the league, it's to argue that perhaps the massive gulf between them and their immediate peers that we anticipated is either tighter than we thought or isn't even there anymore.

I think it's impossible to determine that 6 games into the season, it was bound to be awkward as hell

e: If anything it should make more people realize that real basketball isn't like fantasy and it doesn't matter how much talent you have, it takes time to learn how to play together properly and it will be ugly at times. Just like Miami. The talent gulf is definitely there and it's just a matter of time until they're making a lot of good teams look silly, unfortunately. I hope they SUCK though

Bogut reinforcing that he has never made a friend in the NBA

Q: You took some hits on the way out of town, though. Your durability was questioned …

A: “Oh, who cares? I don’t care.”

Q: Even though it seemed like it was coming from the inside (of the Warriors)?

A: “But that’s how it is. I don’t buy into the sources thing. I don’t buy into all that (expletive), because this league is so two-faced and everybody is so fake. The same people who made those comments will see me tomorrow and shake my hand and ask me how my family is. This league is full of people who are full of (expletive) and shallow, and that’s what you figure out in pro sports. It’s very hard to meet a genuine person who you can call your friend in this league. That’s just the reality, and I understand that.
