Carmelo says his shooting hand is "very sore" after taking "multiple hits" on Friday vs. Golden State. He may get tests on the injury.

Story keeps getting better

awesome

40-3-5 for dragic

J0rd do you have any tidbits about CHANDLER V. SPEIGHTS

I just realized there's a whitey named Withey on the Pelicans *lol*

Draymond is a pretty solid role player tbf. At times been the only guy bringing energy off the bench. Not a good shooter but seems to hit at opportune times. Good defender. Hustles. Gets his hands on a lot of balls. Idk he's been better than Barnes for a good chunk of the season.

Chandler just seemed like a frustrated baby. Speights did nothing at all.

Yeah I was just sort of loling at my screen when that went down

Love how Speights played him like a piano

Speights is a pretty chill bro tbf. My fav part was after the chandler thing Jeremy Tyler was trying to get into speights head and speights blocked his shot and threw it off Tyler's balls to save it from going out of bounds.

yeah no i don't even know what sparked that fight i assume it was just general aggravation on tyson's part

it was fucking hilarious that speights drilled two jumpers right in his eye though, of all players

the only insight i have out of that is that i was under the impression that chandler was kind of unassailable amongst knick fans for being the dirty work guy and also being a generally good player but nah they were jeering the shit out of that guy all night, it seemed like a bizarrely toxic relationship

melo is definitely well liked and i think there's a total "JR being JR" attitude about JR but man people all over the arena (and since i was by myself i was kinda just hopping around different sections to whatever open seat i could grab) were laying into chandler all night, especially cuz the warriors (notably jermaine o neal) were getting tons of baskets at the rim

this has gone too far

Speights had some magical five minutes last night. Great smile from him after the flop and-1 -> Chandler hard foul/2nd T and Speights just disengaged.

Speights has been so much better over the last couple months. Even had a crazy 30 point night a couple weeks back.

he's been p good

i remember when he was the darling of the stat community because his per-36 stats were bananas but then it never really scaled up all that well

he's decent for a fourth rotation big which means it's not all that surprising that he's bounced around but will probably stick around for years

It's helped that oneal is back so he doesn't have to play small ball center as much.

lmao this kid guest broadcaster at the heat game, going to be very sad when he dies of alcohol poisoning at his first frat party in a couple of years

Seriously wish I was in Philly right now :((((((((((((((((((

evan turner fits perfectly into the pacers offensive gameplan of taking bad shots

i want to see an article written on why centers have to be involved in plays swinging the ball across the court at the beginning of plays. who thought of this??

jesus

wat

this paul guy passes good a lot

it was jesus christ our lord and saviors idea to get the center involved early iirc

headline writers can be heroes too

just saw faried go down in a hella scary fall and hold his knee for about 30 seconds but he got up on his own. didn't want to witness that it it was gonna be worse.

which one, cliff or chris?

True story about 5 minutes ago my dad asked me if cliff Paul was his real twin or if Chris Paul played both characters. Dads

"wow, i'm really interested to see where they take the cliff and chris paul story next."

-- said no one, ever.

wow this is a great dad story

One thing I learned is that the blazers merch shop is now selling game of thrones-styled tshirts that say "playoffs are coming" which inspired a severe eyeroll outta me.

only one game on national tv tomorrow u_u

And it's the Knicks!! Again! jfc

still think the smart money is on the thunder but there are 4 really, really good teams in the west, 2 really good teams, and a few dangerous ones. it's nuts that there might be a team with a .600 winning percentage that misses the playoffs

noah is the best

I think its lovely that the Lakers are so irrelevant that even hating them seems like a stupid waste of energy.

never, i am enjoying their misery. fuck the lakers forever, even in times of abject pitiable despair
