Detroit putting it on OKC, surprise

That's got to be up there with loss of the year. No Cade no problem in taking down one of the league's best teams at full strength. It doesn't make me feel better about last night's loss, but glad to see we're not alone in sucking.

OKC have these vanishing acts. Outside of SGA, they do not have much in the way of reliable scoring options. A few too many of them go quiet and they struggle to compete.

Booker has 44 points with 7 mins left in the 4th and the Suns are down 5. This is after he put up 60+ just a few nights ago and the Suns lost that game too. Where is Durant?  :P

That is a big ass lineup by Orlando

C: Wendell Carter Jr
F: J Isaac
F: Banchero
F: F Wagner
G: Fultz

All three of those forwards can switch so well. Wendell Carter Jr can switch well for a big. Fultz is a big PG / combo guard at 6-4 210lbs. Tough defensive group.

Isaac has played some great D on Durant.

Durant had 15 pts and 7 turnovers.  He was a -23 for the game, worst on the team.  Not very good.

Miami on their way to their 7th straight loss.

Hopefully Denver can pull out the win against Milwaukee tonight and get us back to 4+ losses over the Bucks and Philly in the East.

I’m at this Denver bucks game and really am not
Impressed with the bucks for the most part. I’ll die on the hill that is ridiculous Lilliard is starting in the all star game over players like Mitchell and Brunson.

How does Giannis consistently get away with violating the 10 second free throw rule without being called for it? It's like the league is purposefully ignoring it, and that's not even considering the delays that he creates before even getting the ball.

Lakers blown out by rockets. Their defense is not good…need to dump Reaves or Russell for someone that can guard on the perimeter

Memphis with a pretty crazy starting lineup today while short-handed.

C: Tillman
F: JJJ
F: Aldama
F: Roddy
G: Scottie Pippen Jr

So they have two seven foot PFs alongside a center in Tillman in the frontcourt. Then Roddy who is a 6-5 260lb powerhouse of a SF playing guard. Massive lineup.

If anyone else does it, it's a 10-second violation. But Giannis gets special treatment.

He finally got called for it on his first FT, and then missed the second FT.  However, Bucks rebounded and Giannis hit a three.

Fortunately, though, that was the last hurrah of this game.  Denver's got it.
