Back to back again at the best in the west.

 

[Chris Craig]

Play it again Sam!

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Ant is out? Again?

 

[Chris Craig]

Ant is out? Again?

No. I'll fix that

 

[Cugel]

2@113 section , row cc seats 11, and 12. I make deals for forum members. cheap. pm me

Luka Garza went Reggie Miller mode in garbage time. I think he did actually hit one of them. I remember last year Garza put on a superstar performance against the Blazers. It was a lovely effort, thanks for helping us get Scoot.

 

[B-Roy]

I love that Chauncey made Scoot earn the starting spot.

 

[illmatic99]

the protection comment is hilarious now, after cronin called him an nba ready 19 yr old who could help Dame win now.

he could be a factor in euroleague, but man, he really wants to become a rotational player in the nba, hopefully he makes it

hes really skilled offensively, but unfortunately, very slow

 

[Predator]

Woke up early to watch so you can bet something bad will happen

Woke up early to watch so you can bet something bad will happen

I took Minnesota -5.5 in the 1st half thanks to this insider information.

 

[Chris Craig]

Crappy start

 

[riverman]

I'm over Ant...I'd rather see Banton next to Scoot

 

[riverman]

Why did we stop feeding Ayton?

 

[Tince]

I'm over Ant...I'd rather see Banton next to Scoot

That's one way to lose more games.

I'd hate to see McDaniels shift over to defending Scoot.

 

[riverman]

That's one way to lose more games.

I didn't realize we were winning a lot of games

 

[illmatic99]

Lol this team is already in cancun

 

[MickZagger]

I can’t watch right now. How we looking?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

At this rate the final score will be 160 to 58.

 

[Tince]

I didn't realize we were winning a lot of games

I didn't realize I said they were winning a lot of games...

 

[Duckhook]

15-2 t-wolves advantage in rebounds and we’re not done with the first qtr… sheesh

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I can’t watch right now. How we looking?

Minnesota is looking very good.

 

[riverman]

I can’t watch right now. How we looking?

terrible

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I can’t watch right now. How we looking?

Both teams playing hard.

One is playing very badly.

 

[beast blazer]

Wow, one of these again. Let's lose by 100.

 

[wizenheimer]

I just did the math: at this rate, Minny wins 182-54

 

[Chris Craig]

Embarrassing

 

[Cugel]

Worst start of the year?

 

[Chris Craig]

Minny missed? Wth?
