11? Where are you? China? It starts at 4 here.

England. It's an early game for the Lakers. Most home games start at 3:30am

I may actually be able to see the game LIVE tonight. It starts at 11pm over here.

Nevermind. For some reason I thought I was responding to bks.

CRAZY PREDICTION FOR THE NIGHT:

Lakers beat the Thunder!

Not that crazy. You keep Westbrook under 40 and you have a chance.

 

[thunderc]

You got a chance even if he goes over 40.

 

[DJ]

Yeah.....it's early but an awful Suns team is leading the Dynasty Warriors.

 

[bksballer89]

Are these the Warriors new road jerseys or throwbacks? @CitySushi

 

[bksballer89]

The biggest issue that the Warriors will have this year is defense. Losing Barnes and Bogut really hurt them on that side of the floor

NVM. Got my answer. Seems like these unis are a new road alternate

They can be abused on the glass.

 

[thunderc]

Banter can't play defense but if there is a better offensive rebounder in the league I don't know who it is.

 

[thunderc]

Kanter, stupid auto correct.

 

[DJ]

The Lakers are competing with the Thunder.....













*Remembers what I said all offseason*

Yeah that too. I don't think they'll be a top 5 defense this year though. Borderline top 10 IMO

Heat hanging there with the Spurs. Whiteside doing Whiteside things

Why the hell is LAMARCUS ALDRIDGE resting Pop??

This is silly.

I can almost understand resting Ginobili late at age 39 here and there early.

But, there is no reason whatsoever to give a young fully healthy Aldridge the night off in game #4.

Sitting a game in October will literally have no bearing on him being fresh for May basketball.

It is just being overly cute.

According to the Heat commentators, Pop said he did not want to play LA 4 games in 6 nights due to a sore Knee he's dealing with

3 games in and I'm over Waiters. Richardson can't get back sooner
