    I ended up getting pizza with some friends going through a rough stretch. We have 50% indoor dining and the game was on at the pizza place.

    My comments on the evening. Broadway Pizza in Champlin, MN has really good pizza at affordable prices..

    Sound Familiar?

    In one notorious game late in the season, the Celtics, playing at home, led the woeful Bobcats 69-51 late in the third quarter -- and managed to lose the game by eight points, enhancing their draft positioning. Of course, Celtics coach Doc Rivers denied tanking charges. As Steve Bulpett reported in the Boston Herald: “Rivers insisted there was nothing sinister about leaving Paul Pierce (game-high 23 points) on the bench for the fourth quarter and letting the quintet of Sebastian Telfair, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Allan Ray and Leon Powe stay on the parquet as the lead -- still at 10 with nine minutes left in the game -- disappeared.”

    Damn, brehs, that one looks really stressful too! Y'all should watch the trailer.
    I think I'll stick with the Rockets' tank for now.

    It’s familiar.....but in our case, you leave the $40,000,000 Man in the game and watch him throw it. And probably not intentionally.

    Pacers rockets game on from 2016. Man we lost this game but I already love the offense a lot more. Harden played beautifully within flow of the offense. He’s not bringing the ball up half court iff rebounds. Beverley would push and push aggressively . Harden actually playing off the ball. I’m Have to start dvr’ing these old games


    howard was indeed a black hole on offense. Dude killed the flow on some of these early possessions

    I've seen written that the Cade comparison is Grant Hill; the only young guy holding that kind of game, IMO, is Jayson Tatum.

    Shaun Livingston, before he kinked his leg like a garden hose, is a closer comparison in terms of game. High-quality, but not transformational talent.

    #Truth



    No self awareness, no mea culpa.



    Numbers tell clear story of selfish inefficient play that Silas completely BLIND to.

    hmm, yeah maybe that one was worse. worst scoreless streak ever has to be texas a&m on bad beats earlier this year when they got with 0.5 points of their team over/under with 9 minutes to go and then failed to score the entire rest of the game.
