I guess PJ Tucker has been hanging out at the same buffet as Chriss.

Customers aren't buying the game quality jerseys anyway. A large majority of them are replicas made of different material and performance technology.The Bobster wrote:Not exactly going to make them more desirable for the customers to buy though.Flagrant Fowl wrote:How so?

Even then, LeBron's was ripped after a very obvious foul. It's not like the thing was falling off of him from just normal physical play. I've never seen anyone playing a serious game of basketball in an authentic NBA jersey either.

71 to 62 at the half?! All-Star game kicks off the season this year?

Dislocated ankle means some definite tearing of the ligaments. Tibial fracture, should heal ok. Could definitely be back next year, but I highly doubt he plays again this season.Hermen wrote:I'm no medical expert but doesn't the way his ankle was turned look like ligament damage?Flagrant Fowl wrote:I'm not entirely sure, but I think you can actually hear it snap on that video.
Tough break (terrible joke), but this kind of injury is way better than a soft tissue injury, such as a ligament or muscle. It'll take some time, but he should be able to reach a high level again if he's just broken the leg bone(s).

Yeah, I made that comment before they diagnosed it as a dislocation. He definitely has a soft tissue injury of some sort, which makes it worse than George's. I think there's no way he plays this season.

Great finish between Houston and GSW. I hope the whole season is this competitive and one team doesn't run away with the best record in the West.

By the way, Tatum's first shot attempt of his NBA career was blocked by LeBron. I said out loud, "Welcome to the NBA." and Reggie then says the exact same thing on the TNT broadcast.

Warriors lose, record of 0-1. A little teeny slice of adversity to start the season, a punch in the mouth from another Western powerhouse. I like it. Give them a good challenge; I don't want to see this season just handed to them like last season was.

Well they had a worse start last year against the Spurs.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:Warriors lose, record of 0-1.

Saying the same thing as Reggie Miller is probably something I'd keep to myself.Superbone wrote:By the way, Tatum's first shot attempt of his NBA career was blocked by LeBron. I said out loud, "Welcome to the NBA." and Reggie then says the exact same thing on the TNT broadcast.

Did anyone see PJ Tucker becoming one of D'Antoni's "8 starters" on the Rockets? I did not. Good for him and his 20 points last night.

2 fun and competitive games last night. I had high hope for the Celtics this season; I'm very sorry to see the injury. Tatum and Brown played 37 and 40 minutes. Yikes.

It makes sense to me. He can hit 3s (mostly), so he has value to Mike D. But I'm glad to see the guy doing well and playing meaningful minutes on a good team. He has earned it. Hope he gets to do his thing in the WCF this year.carey wrote:Did anyone see PJ Tucker becoming one of D'Antoni's "8 starters" on the Rockets? I did not. Good for him and his 20 points last night.

Ha ha. Loved seeing them lose after they were ahead the whole game until the last minutes. Also bonus point for losing after they thought they won it.Cap wrote:On pace to finish 0-82.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:Warriors lose, record of 0-1.

When was the last time a D'Antoni team was getting key stops down the stretch to pull ahead and win? 2006?Superbone wrote:Ha ha.

Did you see Shaq on TNT saying he shouldn't be suspended? These things happen? Come on.carey wrote:8 game suspension for Bobby Portis. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2106 ... ight-games
I'm sure there's fights all the time but you don't haul off and punch a teammate in the face. I think the suspension was very appropriate.
