So if you think a guy travelled, you should just not bother defending him?

If he picked up the ball and carried it like a running back from half court, no. He was next to Payne when he released the ball. I don't know how you expect Rodriguez to get in front of him.

I wrote out a post that said this almost word-for-word. Then I realized Cliff is almost definitely on a harmless Friday fishing expedition.

Nice win for the Hornets. The Zeller pick and roll is becoming a thing, and the Hawks had no answer for his quickness.

Yep - Howard had a horrible game and then got ejected.  I expected it to be in our favor that he got tossed - I think the difference was Walker getting hot.  Entertaining game to watch - Hawks blew a chamce to out a little distance between them letting the 10-pt lead slip away.

You know how some arenas will do a "Kiss Cam" or "Dance Cam" skit on their video boards?

Tonight, the Bucks took it up a notch with the "Bandwagon Cam".

Roght before tipoff, they put up the "Bandwagon Cam" on the main scoreboard, and zoomed in on fans wearing brand new Golden State Warriors shirts and jerseys.

I'm assuming @SWC had a role in this, so I'm going to thank him in advance for his efforts.

This was the best Cam trolling since that night Quicken had the "Manti T'eo Kiss Cam" and zoomed in on fans sitting next to empty seats.

ETA: Article and screenshots celebrating the event

Back in my day "those people" had Bulls jerseys. #old

 
That Hornets loss last night was a real bummer. Now, it was the tail end of a back to back on the road, and more importantly, not having Cody Zeller in the lineup really hurts (ya heard me). Still, losing to the Pelicans is just embarrassing. 

Most disturbing, for about 3.5 quarters, the Hornets played some nice basketball. Guys driving to the rim, often finishing over around Davis. Great movement. Belinelli on fire. But once crunch time arrives, everything just turns into standing around waiting for Kemba to do something spectacular. Except, last night, spectacular just turned into Kemba dribbling around and taking a terrible jumper (largely due to not having the Zeller PnR to lean on, I'm sure). I get there aren't a lot of stellar crunch time options for Charlotte, but last night, Belinelli and Kaminsky were both shooting well. Obviously, Kemba is going to have the ball and likely take the shot when it matters most of the time, but it's probably a good idea to at least pretend something else might happen every once in a while.

Yep.  A GB of mine got into it with a couple Bulls bandwagoneers in the early days of Target Center.  A couple, both old slices of white bread, show up for date night at Target Center in shiny brand new Bulls jackets for a Jordan visit and sit down in front of us.  The game wasn't close so my seat mate amused himself with bandwagon cracks most of the second half.  

Final horn sounds, woman in Bulls jacket turns around at us, starts clapping and sticks her tongue out at us.  GB summons an old woman voice and starts yelling, "I ALSO LIKE THE COWBOYS... AND THE YANKEES... AND UCLA IN THE 70S..."

I just don't get how they can continually collapse in the 2nd half night after night.  Sure, they're young.  Sure, neither of their top two PG's are a threat on offense.  But still.  They've got to figure this out quick or we're going to be in the ####### lottery...yet again. :rant:

 
Devin Booker is really good and fun to watch. When he learns to use his athleticism for things other than scoring he's gonna be a superstar. I'd take him on my team over any other under-25 guard in the league.

What are we counting Giannis as...a SF?

I'm also pretty sure I'd rather have two under-25 guards currently out of the league who will be in the league next year.  One for sure.

Yeah that's where Hollinger's PER ratings put Giannis, and that's where I did two minutes of research before I posted that.  Irving (24) was the only guy that really gave me pause, although I'm sure I missed a couple other guys.

I actually think Murray will end up being the better player than Booker (he's the better shooter already), but are top-tier prospects.  One thing is clear, there aren't a ton of top-tier PGs/SGs in the 20-25 range.  Lots of PFs/Cs though.

Even if he does, he's not nearly as handsome as Booker.  Don't underestimate the importance of dreaminess :wub:

Irving, Giannis and Wiggins come to mind....the latter two are debatable G/F.  I still think Russell is in play here.  There's got to be a couple more.

Just got tickets to this. Working on my heckle game.

Price is stopping me. Where I just sat for $45 is over 500 for the Warriors. Section 3 (nosebleed) is $100 and up. I'm "probably" going by waiting for a reseller deal. The Clippers have an obnoxious heckling season ticket holder in the "noisemaker" section behind their hoop. He literally had Marcus Morris frightened a week or so back. Drummond looked concerned too. It was pretty funny. As hecklers go, he's a beast, exhausted by the 4th quarter. His seats are currently for sale, but If I knew he was going to be there and going after Durant, I'd pay up just for the comedy. Section 116 or 115 for the crazy.

Also, I see the Clippers improved play, but I don't see room for more improvement. It just isn't enough for me to get excited. The Warriors are playing as good or better than them atm, with a lot of room for improvement... a LOT. 

 
Entertaining game going on right now between the Lakers and Thunder. Randle having a miserable performance. D'Angelo Russell not playing.
