this was supposed to be the wolves season. hopefully unleashing dunn helps.

lol, getting Rubio to sit like that eh…

Anyway, just watching a 10 min highlight reel of the last Bulls game. They are really passing hella well.

not a good start to his bulls career.

Huh… He’s the one guy on the Bulls I didn’t think would be on IR this season.

Wiggins is so one dimensional, it’s not even funny. His rpg was lower than CP3 last year. His apg was equal to Dion Waiters. And he’s on his way to doing more of the same this year.

I really hope people kill the leftover noise about the Wiggins/Love trade. There’s no way in hell Cavs could’ve won with him.

Magic are worst tham I thought if they let the Sixers run a 10-0 lead on them.

Welp, Vogel coached them up. Good run to get back in it.

Didn’t think it was possible to see a team get “delay of game” twice in the same quarter. Sixers just did.

They’re off to a nice start in this game. I hope they don’t run out of momentum.

As expected, they couldn’t finish the game. This is so annoying.

Eh. No Conley, no Gasol. Having played the wolves so much in the last month this is free w/o them. At least it’s good run for the young boys.

Waiters is Chalmers 2.0. This nigga cost us the Spurs game, then he comes out and drops 20 tonight. Boogie went ham while Whiteside was on the bench with foul trouble.

Ugly, sloppy game. Heat gotta get their passing and freethrows up to par.

Lakers drop another. Those opening night whispers have long since faded, realization has set in.

Aside from defense being the biggest problem, Deng is being misused. He’s not guarding the opponents best player, and he isn’t scoring much. Russell still looks like project, while guys like Porzingis continue to develop nicely.

The scariest thing about the Cavs right now is that Kevin Love has been consistently good. Almost T Wolves good. Kyrie has a killer instinct now, and Lebron is Lebron. No championship rust from this team.

George Hill quietly one of the most efficient scorers this year.

If Lakers are serious about being uptempo, Ingram should be starting at SF and Deng should be at PF with Randle as 6th man. Deng averaged 16 and 7 when Miami put him at PF when Bosh went down. He thrived in fastbreaks and Miami was scoring the 2nd most points in the league in the month of March.

fuck i’m going to miss vine.

P.S., just so that @locoghoul knows, Miami is currently at the top in opponent FG%. 3 of the 4 Heat opponents all shot 38% from the floor.

Have fun with your little preseason jokes though, fuckboy.

warriors finally putting up scores expected of them.

Lakers owned the Hawks and you Lakers fans are nowhere to be seen. Man up.

I was only able to watch the first quarter so I didn’t see the whole game, it is nice to see the corpse of Luol Deng decided to show up.
