The NBA is a cool league, my dudes, and even though the Warriors are going to go 96-0, we can all still enjoy random Jazz-Hornets games, probably. Please enjoy the Timberwolves

Kristaps Porzingis is a better defender


I mean they were good plays but they weren't a superhero sailing out of the deep blue at 90 MPH to save the day and letting all of Cleveland cry tears of joy (if he'd hit that Dunk, Oh My God). Those other things wasn't stopping a go-ahead easy bucket from the returning Finals MVP on the Best Regular Season Team of All Time. The Block is a way bigger moment than anything he had before to the point where it diminishes those accomplishments. Or at least I think so. Also

I figured I was forgetting someone, sorry. It's very bad that when the Knicks are mentioned the first player I think of is Derrick Rose. It's too bad there's a decent chance none of the four will make it to the playoffs this season! :(

edit: I forget what I was replying to.

The Cavs were in the top half of most dribbles last year. The Warriors were dead last. Therefore, dribbling is good and ball movement is bad. Wrap it up sabermetricailures

I used to think Jokic's name was pronounced jock itch and I feel bad about that and hope he makes 3rd team All-NBA this season.

Have a good Monday everybody

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Can someone explain why we are seeing all these contract extensions this week? It seems like all of September and October there were no signings of any kind, then yesterday there were like 8 big extensions.

Oden showed up at the dorm where I worked at OSU a couple years after he left. He was just visiting some basketball players who lived there. Technically I wasn't supposed to let him in since he didn't live there but I did anyway. That's my story

I think Conley and Mark Titus are still pretty close to him so he should have a good support network. They always say how sad it is though.

The Cavaliers are looking good so far. #1 3P team in the whole league. GSW is tied for #2 with HOU. It appears two teams might meet in the finals for three straight years for the first time ever.


1+ in all five categories (since 1984 regular season):


Dear Zogo, may I ask how many of these games Wade has racked up? I am surprised not to see him on the list since he has always been a prodigious shotblocker for a guard.

I hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving weekend.
