Guys, who beat the Heat tonight?

It will forever be weird for me to conceptualizer z-bo as a crafty old vet with a will to do what it takes to scrap out a W.

Yeah, I love his post game and also his box outs, he throws his body around underneath the hoop like crazy. Amazing positioning with zero jumping ability.

its true the dubs should maybe be in there somewhere

Also, his swagger is supreme, love how he struts around. xp

cleveland is sort of a dark horse

yeah warriors are def creeping up there... added bonuses: one of the best crowds in the NBA, maybe the best local announcer in the league... pretty swagged out team. i'm on board.

cleveland is a year or two out. they're genuinely terrible even w/ kyrie but have some good players.

I like that Alonzo Gee dude but I don't know a single thing about him

yeah feel like theyre maybe one of those bad teams worth watching, kyrie and varejao ballin out, waiters w the sick potential

Wait the warriors are 15-7!?

haha yeah, started 3-4

also i want to watch a lot of anthony davis, but his team is shit, ryan anderson excepted

longest road winning streak since 78 per wilbon, wow I should watch a gsw game I guess!

warriors still only +1 point differential, but i feel they can be good, especially if bogut ever returns

enhh i mean yeah there are a bunch of teams with 2 or 3 very fun players (this is basically every team except like detroit and toronto and washington) but i like the nuggs because every player who gets srs minutes for them is unique or fun in his own way and the style the team plays is a blast to watch.

He's the same guy he's always been imo

Yeah they are hanging in there with the two things Bogut does best, D and rebounds. He will help a ton. xp

i'm being a dick haha obv i like watching all these teams we've mentioned i just like denver the best

minny and the clips are my two other favorites

CLIPS BOOOOOO

maybe these espn guys shouldn't be talking abt the lakers as a guaranteed playoff team when they're 9-13 idk talk abt the teams that are actually good

haha i never left the clips bandwagon either, f the h8rs

Oh Milwaukie is a pretty interesting east team. Love Jennings but I can't really handle monta most of the time.

Monta is infuriating. Went from one of the most lovable and efficient players to a whining shameless gunner.

yeah i soured on the clips toward the end of last year at the height of flopmania but they're actually great tv this year which was not true last year - last year's second unit was pure torture but now they're throwing out bledsoe, crawford, and barnes so it's all good

also flopping is outlawed now

I like that 2nd unit actually, yeah (eh kinda not crawford though)

Getting rid of floppy evans was a move in the right direction

Blakes put-your-head-down-spin-around-in-circles post moves crack me up too.

also the spurs are a favorite! totally forgot them. i am watching them now

haha yeah and the unnecessary dribbles between his legs

the spurs are like this cant possibly still be happening

how is tony parker only 29

so wait why are the warriors good now

i don't love crawford as a player but he's instant offense, kinda hard to dislike watching that when he plays well

Its very weird but they are playing D and rebounding. xp

hate to say but the knicks destroying the heat sans melo last week mightve been the most purely enjoyable nba viewing experience ive had so far this season

and D Lee and Curry are ballllling out

lagoon otm

knicks are kinda fun yeah

I feel like I could secretly get into the Knicks actually.

i don't love crawford as a player but he's instant offense, kinda hard to dislike watching that when he plays well

Yeah, the arch on his shot O__o

Knicks are my guilty crush

on the one hand i like to see some crisp ball movement, on the other hand the knicks are my sworn enemy

i love joakim noah -- he balled out in philly tonight & gave these quotes about the fans that cheered his injury in the playoffs last year

"I've been thinking about it all summer," Noah said. "All summer I just couldn't wait to come back here. I just felt like when I went down last year just people cheering and stuff, I felt like that was real disrespectful and it was definitely motivating for me to work even harder to work in the summer."

"And I'm going to do it for the rest of my career," Noah said. "Every time I come here.

"(The booing) motivates me. I'll never forget what happened in the playoffs when I went down, and I will use that as motivation every time I come into this building."

Obviously, Noah took pride in his play in Philadelphia. When asked if he could hear what fans were saying to him, Noah chuckled.

"Nah," he said. "But they could hear what I was saying, though."

Crawford is sublime when he's in his zone there's no doubt.

The only team that I have sworn to never cheer for for life oath style is the Lakers.

I like Noah too, seems to be hated on ILH tho?

noah is the lamest person in the whole world, i realized the other day hes exactly this guy, same person
