Jonathan Isaac refused to kneel...

nurk looks absolutely incredible

Sorry this is bullshit

Griffin: (Zion) will not play significant minutes in the next game, and he may not in the next one."

Nurkic sometimes tosses off a ferociously great game. Then he reverts to the mean, which is only to be expected.

lol sad man in him prayer room

bubble hoops reminds me of olympic hoops

Me too

Lillard takes some awful shots. Paul George would agree with me.

At least there's no air horns xp w myself

This turned into a hell of a game

Melo colllllld blooded

all those techs were funny. players gonna have to bit their tongue a bit cant hide behind crowd noise and distractions in the bubble

uhhhh the blazers gonna choke this?

nothing would surprise me less

big W for pdx there.

completely different team with nurk/collins back

dame's finish on that drive w/ about 40 secs to go was sublime

Why is this court brighter!?!?

More stars!

digging the bubble games, they remind me of the preseason college ball tourneys they play in puerto rico or the bahamas, and the courts are used as convention centers and ballrooms for the other 50 weeks of the year

The fake crowd noise is so weird, I don’t know if I can get used to this

i may be starting to believe in Ayton.

Did you guys see that 4 players this season have scored on giannis in isolation

Ayton always had good potential in terms of his physical attributes. He just never had to work all that hard at hoops before he came into the league, where everyone on every team is a world-class athlete and even the superstars work their freaking butts off in order to make their way to the top of the heap.

tatum has been soo bad so far in da bubble like not just missing layups missing the rim, keep thinking about how early in the shutdown it was revealed he didnt have a hoop at his house, hope he found a way to get some shots up!

i refuse to believe any of these dudes didn't have any access to a hoop, even in a clandestine way.

one would think

Tatum and Brown been bad, Kemba on minutes limit, yet they're still neck and neck with top team in the league

pretty rugged game w one million fouls

possible hostile act...

no hostile act

WHAT

lol

so giannis does not foul out, they try to give a makeup call on the other end, and it's going to be reversed for an and one

Officiating is so bad. They call the 6th foul on the wrong play

overturned :o

rough game for the refs

You can't blow a whistle to stop the play, not call a foul, say you're reviewing to see if the foul was a hostile act that would merit a technical or flagrant, then say there was no infraction on the play. It has to at minimum be a personal foul if you stop play. https://t.co/2pz6XKxl9S

harden just turned his ankle pretty severely landing on finney-smith's foot and stayed in the game.

there might be more bench techs too. definitely more opportunity for the bench to interact w/ the refs

harden now has like 24 points in a quarter where he legit fucked up his ankle

Why are Mark and Doris suddenly emphasizing the second syllable in Rick Carlisle’s last name? I feel like I’m going insane

hahaha i noticed that and i have no idea

i guess everyone is a little rusty

lol im a little behind and just caught that part and came to post about it. almost seemed like they were doing a bit

85-75 at the half, this game kicks ass

Fox career high 39 and some sick moves

🦊 @swipathefox goes off for a career-high 39 PTS in the @SacramentoKings first action in Orlando! #SacramentoProud #WholeNewGame pic.twitter.com/URLfK5O1Co
