Griffin was elected for this?

He wasn't ejected for the shoving per say. He was ejected because he was given a technical foul on the play. His 2nd technical foul of the game resulting in the ejection.

nice to know GSW needs to resort to cheap tactics to win. Blake got robbed with both Ts.

This Portland-Clippers game has been a great one tonight.

I absolutely am in love with the Blazers right now. Last two years I watched the games while doing chores/cooking dinner/gaming on the other tv. This year each game is like an event. My world just shuts down for 2 and a half hours. Love it

Teague vs. Kyrie was a ton of fun last night. Kyrie got him ...



... but Teague would get the last laugh.

Ersan wouldn't be worth a roster spot that an undrafted free agent could take

[JimLeavy59]

At this point I'd rather the Bucks draft Joel Embiid trade Sanders and Ersan for picks and build around Giannis.

Chris Bosh makes me hate watching Basketball.

Hold the fuck up the Kings gave out beat the Heat towels for a DECEMBER FUCKING GAME?

THE TANK GOES ON

[Bomberooski]

Well that sucked. Go f yourself Bosh

Now its Pau's fault that the Lakers are doing so bad. lol nobody told Mitch Kupchak and Jim Buss to choose to rebuild or as they say "retool" around a 35 year old coming off an Achilles injury.

If I hadn't called into work all last week I would have tonight and gone to the Pelicans game

But so happy with a win versus a good team

Went to the Pistons vs Wizards game last night at the Palace.

First off, I have to lol at the DETROIT pistons not only having a drumline and a breakdancing team, but also employing a male cheerleader that looks like carrot top.

The atmosphere in the arena was fucking terrible. Just terrible. Nobody cared. Like it or not, these are two teams battling for playoff spots in the East and it felt like I was watching a high school game. The arena was actually loud once, on the Greg Monroe dunk. Even the PA system was dull. One "D-Fence" chant the ENTIRE game. It was just a boring game to go to in terms of atmosphere.


With that out of the way, my god are the Wizards fucking terrible at rebounding. I remember looking at the offensive rebounds at one point and it was 18-8. Just absolutely terrible. Pistons would get 3-4 shots each possession. Despite having one of the worst benches in the NBA, the Wizards bench actually played better than their starters last night. A majority of the turnovers came from the starting unit and it was typically because players couldn't catch the god damn ball. How the fuck are you in the NBA and can't catch a god damn bounce pass right in your gut.

I can't believe the Wizards pulled out the win. It felt like the Pistons were up by 20 the entire game. Glad to get back to .500 though and maintain the 5th spot in the East. Wizards on pace to have their best season (and first season over 29 wins) since 2008

Just found out Horford has officially been ruled out the rest of the season. Good news for the Wizards.

Came through a few days ago. Awful news.
