Cross post from gdt but whatever. Grizz are going to win this one, but look at this inbounds: https://twitter.com/talkhoops/status/794004750983315457 No fouls called. It was the theme of the night for both teams. Lol

Portland changed all of their TV guys this season. I haven't listened to the new ones, yet. OKC, Boston, Houston, San Antonio, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, and Phoenix are probably all the most homer announcing teams. Not all of them are terrible to listen to, but most are.

Tae posted:42 points on 12/18 shooting isn't too bad. Davis can't/doesn't free himself up for the guards to pass to him when they can't draw defenders with dribble penetration. He also will never and has never demanded the ball so teammates can forget about him. He also loses focus on defense. There also is no other two way player who is both healthy and consistent. The role players and bench guys are getting buckets but the two best active ball handlers are either a serious hamper on defense or have terrible decision making. Guards don't block out or rebound. Davis and Asik are only bigs that can rebound. This leads to poor defensive rebounding. Not enough ball-handlers leads to lots of turnovers. Perimeter players can't consistently knock down open shots. Nearly everyone falls asleep on defense multiple times a game leading to unopposed cuts. There's probably more, but that's the biggest things that stick out to me.

Tae posted:So I mentioned that the NBA as a whole are doing conference rematches really soon, and I don't really get it? Does it save money or something if the Wizards and Hawks play each other twice in a week if they go to each other's home? I understand if you're doing a semi-baseball thing where you play your 2 games against the Bucks at home in 3 days, but this is just weird. If nothing else, it is an artificial way to give some teams a playoff-like experience when it comes to adjusting to a team you just played. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Like, that's only just barely more than 10% of the way through the season and they need a 16th roster spot because they can't possibly field 12 active players at a time.

If Lance is cut to make room, that sucks for him. He had been playing as well as Lance could play before the injury.

Lockback posted:This is true, but its hardly always negative. I guess I can see it being annoying always having the spotlight, but it seems easier to block that out than trying to follow a team that doesn't get any attention whatsoever. Try following a team where all national coverage is like "This guy rules but needs to get off his team immediately! What if <x> team can trade for him with <y> and <z> scrubs?! Maybe throw in <garbage> pick to sweeten the deal, although it's already a much better return for him than anyone else can give, imo.". e: not hearing this constantly is why I follow this thread
