I know damn well you were that kid who ran the pacers in nba live 95 and would only use Reggie Miller to lob 3 after 3 like a cheat code.

Things are off to a great start at NBC! Now hire Kendrick Perkins as their main halftime analyst and we're set.

I just don't understand. I have nothing against Reggie personally, seems like an ok guy. But he is a terrible analyst and broadcaster. Are there surveys that actually say that people like him in that role?

Interesting pickup for the Cavs.

Why would the NBA schedule just one game on the first day back after All-Star break?

It’s the Lakers. Don’t want any other distractions.

So everyone can see them lose to the Hornets!

Blame JJ Reddick for giving Kieff a DNP.

It was a makeup game from the LA fires …

Luka had a bit of a rough game shooting: 5-18, and 1-9 from 3. He did end up with 14 pts, 11 reb, 8 ast (6 TO).

Also +13 in a loss.

Jared Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht put up a -17 and -16 in 13 minutes. Ouch. Must’ve had all the non-Luka minutes.

Playing through pain?

Tramadol is a strong painkiller from a group of medicines called opiates, or narcotics. It's used to treat moderate to severe pain, for example after an operation or a serious injury. If you have long term pain, your doctor may also prescribe it if weaker painkillers no longer work.

I assume this means he doesn’t have a prescription. I’d hope it would be permitted if prescribed by a doctor and cleared by the team’s doctor as a legitimate medical need.

Interesting. Thanks, Wally. Do we buy that it was an honest mistake based on the similar sounding drug name?

Just based on information available, it sounds like an honest mistake? Seems like too strict of a punishment if this is all there is to it.
