LOL why did they leave hendo alone in the corner?

His man, Hezonja, was still arguing with the ref about his last drive. Thanks Mario!

 

[julius]

Did Harkless lose the photo of Stotts with a goat?

 

[EGame]

was that a flop o.o

 

[dviss1]

You see that? You see that shit?? That's a great fucking call!!

 

[noknobs]

gordon is an and 1 machine. Except he cant make free throws

He's an and 0 machine.

Thanks I'll be here all night.

 

[Strenuus]

I think Gerald flopped...

 

[dviss1]

Jesus LAWD!! Plums!!

 

[Jade Falcon]

He's only taken 2 shots.......

Oh. Yeah, that would be the issue there. My bad.

 

[EGame]

I think Gerald flopped...

we found our Harden!

 

[Strenuus]

THAT FLOATER! CRABBE!

 

[theprunetang]

Gross.

we found our Harden!

 

[dviss1]

I think Gerald flopped...

Not at all. You have to ask yourself two questions: was the defender legal? And did the offensive player go to and through? You get an affirmative answer to both questions and it's an easy call.

 

[EGame]

Hey we got 60+ points again in the first half. But this time we didnt allow 80 points.

 

[theprunetang]

Mark mason just shouted Mase in your face! I wonder if he was thinking about himself.

 

[Strenuus]

That was a decent half.

 

[Darkwebs]

Did Harkless lose the photo of Stotts with a goat?

Meyers stole it.

 

[Trackjack]

Now if we can continue the same movement in the 2nd half

 

[Strenuus]

Not at all. You have to ask yourself two questions: was the defender legal? And did the offensive player go to and through? You get an affirmative answer to both questions and it's an easy call.

I have a legit question. I only reffed for a couple years, and only for small time stuff. (Now baseball I umpired for years and did a ton of leagues..) anyway, how do you ask this so quickly in your head, and in enough time to make a timely call... or are these why we see the late whistles?

 

[Jade Falcon]

I'm cooking hotdogs. Jesus, do you want one? Sly? Dviss? Anyone?

 

[theprunetang]

You can always tell that Stotts system is working when you see all of these pretty passes for dunks and layups. Triple screens, dribble hand offs, weaves. It's working.

Nice to see a game where Dame doesn't have to carry the scoring load so much. Only 5 points at half time, with 9 assists. Great team ball so far!

 

[dead247]

Anyone else not a fan of Aminu's shooting form? He hucks it from over his shoulder. Not trying to hate, but it just seems ill-advised or badly-coached. Don't know his 3-pt %, but maybe his form could stand some improvement?

 

[DUB]

FGM-A(%)
Us - 26-43(60.5%)
Them - 18-44(40.9%)

3PM-A(%)
Us - 8-16(50%)
Them -4-9(44.4%)

Reb
Us - 27
Them -16

Ast
Us - 20
Them -9

Points in the paint
Us - 28
Them -22

Considering they had more points in the paint than us at quarter time, that's a great turnaround by us.

 

[cardova08]

Crabbe with 14. Earn that contract my brother. Yeah the Magic suck but this has been a fun one to watch. Great ball movement, great activity on defense. With the tough sled coming up this is one to enjoy.

 

[Darkwebs]

Orlando is making us look like the Warriors. They really are the Magic.

I like that the arc on his shot is super high.

 

[theprunetang]

It is insanely high. We should call him Chief Rainbow.

 

[dead247]

I like that the arc on his shot is super high.

The arc isn't a bad thing by itself, but the release definitely affects the end result. He seems to airball enough shots that it's worth questioning...

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn Harden shot 2/14 today.

 

[theprunetang]

It is insanely high. We should call him Chief Rainbow.

If he was a better 3 point shooter, we could call him The Leprechaun cause there be gold under that rainbow.

I'm cooking hotdogs. Jesus, do you want one? Sly? Dviss? Anyone?

I do a great trick with fish,
