man good comeback by the suns but hard to bring it all the way back on a back to back.

But seriously wtf how does Blake get out of that play without even a foul??! He just straight tackled PJ and then was trying to come back at him and swing at him. What a lame. CP being his usual dickish self too. Clippers are the worst (still cool they lit the Lakers up tho).

feel like you guys need to appreciate scrappy testy players a lil more

Scrappy and testy, cool by me. Floppy and testy, not cool by me.

floppying sucks but come on the league rewards that shit, manu is the flop godfather and everyone luh him

But he also brought us the euro step so it's a wash tbf

yeah. the alternative is don't flop and everybody hits you even harder

No

feel like the most egregious flops have been weeded out m/l and were back at more of a highlighting contact level which is fine w me

Like we talked about in the poll thread, we'll see how bad it is in the playoffs, but it feels a little better this year than before

Some cool games on tonight. NBATV has Thunder/Rockets. Mavs/Dubs. Griz/PDX. Spurs/Bulls.

i will become the world's no. 1 OKC fan this evening. fascinating game, setting aside my hatred for the current rockets roster.

marcin gortat for commissioner

“I would say I would loosen up a little bit the rules about the fighting fines. That’s what I would loosen up. Because today you go to an ice hockey game, and the one thing they’re waiting for is a fight, you know what I’m saying? So if they could set it up something like that in the NBA. That if there are two guys and they have a problem, if they could just separate everybody. And these two people that have problem, if they could fight …

“During the game. Quick, 15-20 seconds, throw few punches, then referees jump in and break this thing up. I think the game … these two guys, they resolved their problem. They’re both suspended and they’re leaving. But end of the day, they fix the problem between each other, fans are super excited, and I think that would be a pretty cool idea [chuckles].”

let them use a shiv, too, if the fight breaks out with 2:00 or less in the fourth quarter. they fix the problem between each other, fans are super excited, and it only takes a few seconds to clean the blood off the court.

Houston is maybe clips level floppy right now. Beverly is on some Paulesque he-touched-me-I-fall-down ish lately

haha cross ref the flopping poll thread

ha I haven't checked that thread in a few days, am I not the first to bring it up?

oh man that gif yeah he should've been fined or whatever for that. Between him and Harden it's like get outta here you guys

Happy Bynum Day everyone

I forgot how freaking big he is there's no one on the celtics who can stop him from rebounding

Of course most teams could just put a real center on him and wait for his knee to blow out

Jackie MacMullan much more pleasant to listen to than Tommy Heinsohn.

Candace Buckner ‏@CandaceDBuckner 38m
I think Andrew Bynum just gave the ref a low five after he got called for traveling

Memphis starting Courtney lee and tayshaun prince tonight

Can't the commissioner just give their playoff spot to Phoenix by fiat? I love Marc & z-Bo but that's just sad

memphis being back in the playoffs is super depressing

Ah thank you I knew she sounded familiar but I couldn't catch who it was!

Now put yourself in timeout for stepping to Tommy

^^^^ gunning for Tommypoints

Meyers Leonard is a little....overmatched against Marc

Spurs just slapping around the bulls...best team in the league right now easily right?

it's an all-texas party at the top of the "power-rankings," right now, i guess.

And this is only the 8th game they'd played with their starting unit healthy this season (I think)

the spurs remember the Alamo last year's finals

clips & rockets playing at least as well, but the fully-healthy spurs are as good as anyone

Spurs in playoffs is like NBA's dancing of the maypole.
