LeBron went for the Kobe game winner, a 20 foot 2 pointer down 1

Nice to see both teams choke leads
---

That L is gonna hurt Laker bros for a minute

Skip Bayless bout to roast LeBron so hard tomorrow. Choking both FTs was one thing, but long fadeaway two at the end? Boi you cant have drawn that up

ATTENTION

ATTENTION

I think it was a 3 but I don't understand how the end of the game shot with 7 seconds left is dribble the ball around the perimeter and take a contested jumper from the arc.

Any one with any basketball knowledge would have you drive to the hoop to try and either A. Draw the foul. B. Have an easy layup C. Open up an open player for a shot or dunk by forcing help.

It is literally common sense and it reeks of LeBron wanted his first win to be by his hand no matter what.

whoo Patty Thrills for the win
---

his accent fucked me up so bad
---

Is it wrong that I hate how well Kawhi is doing already

regardless, glad DeRozan is playing well
---

64-61 PHILA at halftime

Griffin has 28 points already

everyone else just doing okay
---

Embiid is the biggest heel in basketball

:(

also, yesterday's celtics game finished in like 120 minutes flat. this baseball game is one third of the way done and has lasted over 90 minutes.

Pistons/Sixers going to OT

Best Pistons game I've seen in YEARS

133-132 win over that nasty Embiid and 50 points for Blake a career high

I dont think I have ever seen a trade where both teams got better like that

Blake Griffin is amazing.

Some list from ESPN had him outside the top 40 like a bunch of morons. When healthy he was top 25 no question. This year he's playing like an MVP candidate.
---

This is the Blake we should've been seeing all his career.

He may be the most disappointing player in my lifetime.

If he keeps this up though he can turn it around.

May I introduce you to Darko Milicic?

I hear Sixers broadcast refused to show the replay of the Embiid flop
---

KINGS lose to the Nuggets

BUT they put up over 100 against them and the first team to do so

and Bagley put up a MONSTER stat line of

20 points on 9/11 shooting, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 assists
---

Bagley looking good

It is almost like I said Bagley was the best rookie!

I wonder why you chose him over Anthony Bennett or Greg oden.

Greg Oden was at least pretty good, maybe even great, when healthy.

You can only go with what is in front of you. Oden did nothing to show him worthy of a number 1 pick.

Oden averaged 8 points and 6 rebounds per game. Milcic 6 points and 4 rebounds per game.

Oden was a #1 though. Darko a #2.

Oden played a grand total of 105 games in his career.

Bennet averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds per game. Also was a #1.
---

Griffin should've been LeBron level.
---

Thats an over exageration

Thats cool he had a good game

but he still needs a better shot and to be able to shoot off the dribble better imo
---

The Raptors may never lose again.
---

KINGS pls

I cant keep saying you have a better record than the lakers if they win and you lose

GO KINGS

DEAARON FOX JUST JUMPED OUT OF THE GYM AND SAID GET OUT OF HERE MARC GASOL

I originally thought we were just talking about bad draft picks rather than disappointing players. Was gonna toss Vazquez in the ring for worst pick given he never actually came and was a high pick

my KINGS win

KINGS still have better record than your LLLakers

I chose Darko because of the sheer talent drafted immediately after him. Three future Hall of Famers (Although Bosh might not make it thanks to an early career exit). Anthony Bennett was the #1 pick in an incredibly weak draft. Oden was done in with injuries, not talent.

Darko was so hyped people thought he would have been #1 in any year not featuring LeBron. He is the greatest bust in the history of busts.

I guess this is fair. But, you have to include Bowie here also then i guess.

Pistons/Cavs tonight hopefully another win
---

Supposedly the Rockets are offering 4 first round picks for Butler.
---

obscene
---

not a great start for boston
---

went with boston and denver tonight
---

Bennett at least was a sensible piece in a win-win-win trade. Darko was just awful except for like a few workouts with the Pistons.

I don't think I can take Jaylen Brown tonight
---

Is it just me or does Reggie Jackson seem upset that he's now the third maybe 4th best player on this team
---

This is must win for OKC tonight. 16 point halftime lead please don't fuck this up.
---

not an auspicious start to this season
---

Final score

Detroit Pistons 110
Cleveland Cavaliers 103

Next up two in a row against Boston which I'm being cautious against but also noticing how current Boston is playing
---

the formula to beat the celtics is, you need to be able either to score or rebound

if you can do one of those two things then your'e good
---

Forgot to mention that Luke Kennard likely separated his shoulder in the second quarter although he was being used very sparingly so I don't know how much an effect it's going to have
---

jaylen BROWN
---

there goes lead
---

I turn the game on and all hell breaks loose.
