The amount of yelling the Warriors get away with is kinda crazy. They scream at the refs so much. Draymond charges over to a ref and starts screaming and the refs just take it. The straw that broke the camels back was Curry throwing his mouthpiece at the ref.

Just amazing.

If we had gotten the first pick, we would have taken Fultz. Thank goodness for the lotto. I would not have minded Ball, but I am glad we have Jackson.

I loved seeing the Warriors losing their composure.

Giannis will win an mvp soon, maybe this year. Also, Orlando looks good. Vucevic looks like a student right now, he added a 3 point shot and it's working so far.

Wow. What a game between OKC and the Timberwolves. Anthony hits a 3 to go ahead by 1 with 4 seconds left and Wiggins comes down and banks in a 3 at the buzzer from straight on. Gosh, it sure must be nice to have a good team.

Very sorry to read that. The Clipps were a lot more interesting with him on the team. They'll still be good, but he was going to be a x-factor for them.

Agreed. What a bummer for them. I wish they still had JJ Redick.

I know its a faux pas to talk about one's own fantasy team, but I drafted the following PGs in this order.

Eric Bledsoe (shit show)
Jeremy Lin (torn patellar tendon)
Dennis Smith Jr. (swollen knee)
Milos Teodosic (plantar fasciitis)

I think I put a hex on them or something.

They should send checks to Hinkie for building that team. They are going to be very good for a very long time.

I like them. I still believe in Fultz, but what the heck is going on with him right now? His free throw shot is the ugliest thing I've ever seen and he won't take a jump shot.

I thought he had a nagging injury to his shoulder or elbow or something and was trying to play through it.

I think it's a big mistake to change your ft shooting form because of an injury, unless you think it's going to bothering you the rest of your career.

If he's hurt, why is he playing? Philly is usually the most conservative team when it comes to injuries, I'm surprised they haven't shut him down.
