    i'm watching the game right now, cannan went 1-12 from 3 last game, going to see if they can break the record today. Im always watching to see how covington & cannan play defense.

    Watching D league is painful at times - just shoot 3 after 3

    Just watched 6 straight possessions - 3 from each team. All shots were jacked up 3's

    I didn't really watch Canaan play in college and I haven't watched him play so far, but I was fairly impressed with his defense in this game. While he may not have the size or lateral quickness to be a great defender at the NBA level, he had a good stance and position, was attentive to his man and fought around screens. Seems like the time in the D-League is paying off well for him
    Flip Murray hit a tough halftime shot.

    86-82 Vipers through three.

    Always cracks me up listening to the D-League broadcasters. After the third was over, the broadcaster closed for break but you can still hear him briefly telling someone else what he wants on his hot dog.

    I didn't watch the game live, but will later. Looks like Troy finally had a bad shooting game. And the Vipers only put up 31 3-pointers? What happened? Are teams finally starting to guard them out at the 3 point line and beyond? lol. :)

    its so much fun to watch these players develop when they do. I wonder if Tim will ever get a chance to play in the nba again.

    It's like watching a more athletic and skilled version of Asian basketball.

    Just shoot 3 pointers ... dribble penetrate and kick out ...
