That was hilarious. I was courtside under the basket at the game. I'll never forget. IIRC, Swingy said there was a very large .net contingent there as well.
Yep - about 30 or so of us from Phxsuns.net. Bottom of the upper bowl, 3/4 court.

The newest sure-thing in the NBA is when LeBron James says he doesn't want to make excuses, he's about to make an excuse.

I don't think there is a single all-time great who is as lousy of a competitor as LeBron James.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Ring, ring, who is it? It's Dwight Howard disagreeing with you.

Is Howard an all time great? Real all-time? I think he has missed his chance, or at least he is on his way.

I think he blew his chance, he could've been one of the best.

Unless Dwight Howard wins several titles and plays well in doing so, I don't think anybody will call him an all time great player.

Dwight Howard is a goofball and a diva, but he gutted it out in LA when his back wasn't 100% and didn't use it as an excuse; if anything, that's the anti-LeBron.

Anyone watching this Chicago v. Miami game? Crazy what the Bulls do with zero stars (although I guess Noah kind of is now.)

Noah was huge in OT. Just a ridiculous block on Wade just now.

^It's difficult to brook Noah. He's a cheat shot artist & a complete shit. There is a video of him kibitzing twixt two Heat players from last season when they were arguing about something under the basketball during a TO. That's bush. There is also a video of him pantomiming sucking dong at Duncan when he's shooting free throws from a game this season.

I hope he gets what's coming to him even if it harelips the governor (would spite me).

I love Noah. He is one of the best big men in the league. I still think back to how close the Suns were to being able to draft him. So close and yet so far.

OKC up to their old tricks. Up as many as 17 in the first half they are now down 10 to the Lakers with 2 minutes to go in the 3rd. Another bad 3rd Q.

I don't even know how this thing turned into a blowout. Lakers up by 18.

Judging by the box score it's been one of those "bad Westbrook" games - 5/16 shooting and 8 turnovers so far.
