Plumlee would have stopped and shot a 5-foot hook shot.

Which would have come up short.

Is one really bad split-second decision enough to qualify him as an asshole, or is there more to your comment than 1976?

Just tuned in, it looks like LEN and Dragic are having good nights. Good to see. How did Warren look?

Ann Meyers. It's her second year on the Suns' broadcasting team.

She's a hall of fame women's player who signed a contract with the Pacers for a tryout in 1979. She and her brother Dave (who played for the Bucks in the late '70s) were both All-Americans at UCLA.

I didn't mean asshole like he was a bad person or anything more like he did shitty things as a ref.

Len's reach is incredible. He barely needs to jump to be able to dunk the ball.
I'm super excited about his recent improvement, and how good he could become.

It would be nice if you could expect them to build on a lead rather than get sloppy and piss it away.

Nice jumper by TJ Warren there. Faked the 3 pointer, then got into a more comfortable spot for him

TJ looking good out there. Fighting for those boards. The kid really is too good to be riding the pine so much.
