It would be fun if Cousins and Davis were both on the olympic team and they run Pelicans sets with good players around them

It's good for team spirit that the Pelicans are wearing matching tights, but I would prefer they wear blue tights rather than white. Houston is also wearing white tights. They should work it out at halftime

One of the nice parts of watching houston is that you get to see teams go through lots of stuff in their offenses because houston gets everything done so quickly on their end

Jameer Nelson is a very good passer

I guess it's only an issue against one potential playoff team but Houston seems so soft in the middle.

Without Nene in the game, Cousins does what he wants. I think both Houston and Golden State have just surrendered to Pelicans/Pistons etc because that rebounding and post up advantage doesn't matter as much in the playoffs.

Embiid must be the most coordinated big since Hakeem

Twisting in the air as he fell to grab and fling that rebound/loose ball was incredible

Way too much hesitation at the rim by simmons

He's the opposite of embiid in that he has no confidence and no way of scoring when the paint is clogged and he's not on the move, but man the angles he sees and the windows he passes through are amaaaseeingg

Honestly, that may have been the worst game I've ever seen out of an NBA starter from Jeff Teague.

I really hate watching him
I think I hate watching him play basketball even more than I hate watching Reggie Jackson

NBAtv adds worry me. Theoretically this is a rich sports league but the add content is reminiscent of a 24/7 infomercial channel.

Then again maybe that's the America effect. This is gonna sound dumb, but the amount of chintzy local ads/infomercial style ORDER NOW stuff goes way up when you cross the border from Canada to the US. Normally Canadian TV has it's own ads even if it's an American station so I don't see that much but it seems like NBAtv is exempt for some reason or another.

I've done a cursory search and it seems like the majority of their revenue comes from the national and local tv deals, then tickets. Cable companies are charging you money to be able to watch the game period, and big teams skim a lot of that off. But70% of the the local ads are low rent ambulance chaser referral stuff or other kooky local things. That, combined with the empty arenas is very embarrassing to bball addicts, but the teams seem to be making money, their investments are appreciating

Imho this is good for the cavs, playoff seeding doesnt raelly matter for them and it will force Tristan Thompson, Channing Frye, and whatever d league guy to play center. If everyone hates k love, he'll be away from the team. And if they keep losing, then they lose their scapegoat, and they'll have to figure out other ways to win.

he can't shoot a jumper to save his life, but he hustles. that play in the first half where he couldn't get the layup to fall but kept going after it was a good indicator of effort. you think he'll ever be able to learn to shoot?

It's a hair theory thing, his hair is in the way of his natural shooting motion. He did decently from three in college and he's agile and strong enough to get some space.

If he gets braids or cuts his hair, he might be a starter, if not, he's going to remain a net blah role player.
