Umm, masks are doing the job. No reason to make this political. Go over there if you want to do that.

yeah i agree with this. Required mask and have a limited crowd as the other teams who started having fans are doing

Yeah, I'd expect that it would be pretty easy for folks to social distance in the arena as well. Especially if they only allow about a 25% capacity.

Personally, I wouldn't go to a game. Bu that's because I have family and a best friend who are high risk. If not for that, I'd definitely go to a game or 2 if I could.

Randomly scrolling through Twitter and in a conversation that has nothing to do with the NBA and someone left a one-word Tweet: Practice?

And you damn well I read that in Allen Iverson's voice!

I thought about going to a game. Nets tickets prices are crazy. May have to settle for a game at the garden

Garden not a bad place to “settle”

Yeah, I recall someone telling me earlier (maybe Wamu?) that Wanamaker will have stretches of good games which make you think he's underrated and stretches of games where he looks like he doesn't belong in the NBA. Unfortunately it's been pretty much a season long stretch of the latter. He's shooting 35.5% from the field and 22.2% from 3. He's not adding any value to the second unit on offense at all. Defensively he's been good, but not necessarily lockdown. Because of his play, the 2nd unit has largely deteriorated to an isolation based offense. Paschall and Wiggins are relied on to just to and get buckets, which also hurts their efficiency. We need someone to infuse some energy and life into that 2nd unit so they don't continually put the starters in a hole or blow leads they build.

Boston always had other ball handlers on the floor though.

Wannamaker isn’t a point guard. He is a gritty defensive minded combo guard who can be a secondary ball handler.

Cavs killing the Pacers but weird stat. TJ Mcconnell got 9 steals in the 1st half, a NBA record in one half

 

[Shanemansj13]

This is a weird game. Cavs outrebounding the Pacers 31-10

And are going to lose

Clutch 3 by Embiid to send the game to OT

118-118

 

[thunderc]

Embiid hits a highly contested 3 to send game to overtime. Without an injury the mvp race is over.

I disagree. They're going to try to give it to Harden again especially if Brooklyn finish 1st.

 

[bksballer89]

These Philly commentators complain a lot

No fn way you can do what he did to a team and be an MVP

 

[thunderc]

Mavs are 1-22 from 3 against the thunder, and are winning.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Dennis Smith with a trip doub

Would be interesting if he could resurrect his career.

Gotta say Detroit seemed to do OK with their three lesser draft picks this year. I still think Hayes is garbage though.

Yeah, I can't see them giving it to him after that crap. Imo, it's between Embiid and Lebron right now.
