In which the NBA is discussed.

I love that the Knicks and Jazz have both won the same amount of games. It's hilarious.

The Blazers are good.

WOOHOO RELEVANCE>

I'm down with that. Yesterday's Blazers/Pacers game was great, wish I'd went.

Golden State is losing to Toronto. I wish Golden State had lost to Toronto, co-workers are Warriors plebs.

IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER BROOKLYN LOST BY LIKE 20 TO DENVER AT HOME

Dante Exum is getting his fair share of Australian media coverage, guys. By the sounds of things he will be better than Patty Mills but not quite Michael Jordan.

[badfo]

Yeah most people here think he'll go top 5 in the draft. It looked like for a while he was going to enroll somewhere in January and play a semester of college ball but he smartly decided to not do that. Why risk stinking it up on a team you just met when people think you're good anyway?

Meanwhile, the Thunder's Kiwi center keeps getting less and less minutes despite clearly being better than Kendrick Perkins.

Do you think not limiting Perkins' minutes at this point is stubbornness on Brooks' part? Or is there a real preserve-locker-room-chemistry case to be made?

I think he hopes it will turn around. The starting lineup was actually great last year, though obviously not because of Perk.

About the locker room, I don't know. The team always makes a big point about holding each other accountable and you see it basically every game when Thabo just about rips Jeremy Lamb's head off for messing up a defensive assignment or Russ laying into people for not shooting when he gets them open looks. But it's like kid gloves with Perk, it seems.

He's playing like 8 minutes less per game than last season, so that's a plus I guess. But he really shouldn't be playing at all. So we wait for Reggie Jackson to dig the team out of a seven point hole basically every first quarter.

It was a nice spin though.

That's the best case I've heard in favor of keeping him around. I hear he played well tonight but I can't peg why nobody's done anything with Perkins as far as benching or amnestying if he's been as bad as advertised.

I saw Dante Exum play at the Nike Hoop Summit and he seemed like the best player on the floor. But Bismack Biyombo did the same shit the year before.

This might be history's greatest name.

Maybe the Thunder will just slowly transition into playing Adams over Perk. Season is still early, Adams is a rookie, no rush, just ease him into it, or ease Perkins out of the rotation, for the playoffs. We might have been saying that for the past few seasons, though.

[fallenchicken]

I still miss you Wes Mathews.

I'm pretty stoked about Jeff Hornacek being a good coach. I feel like a proud parent.

Bledsoe and Dragic are pains in the ass though.

[badfo]

I want to point out that Bledsoe was basically traded for Dudley and nobody is talking about it. He'd be an All-Star in the east. Just saiyan.

[fallenchicken]

Last year there was rumors that they might trade us Bledsoe for Millsap. But they didn't. Instead they waited for Dudley.

Let's pour some out for Coach Woodson. It was a nice run, Woody. You'll be fired within the week.

I think that'll make him the first coach of the season to be sacrificed.

Jordan Hamilton was inducted into the Steven Adams Hate Club tonight.

Knicks/Bucks is the worst thing I've ever seen. It's amazing. Bargani might have made the dumbest play in the history of professional sports. I'm crying right now.

[badfo]

The Bargs play was the best thing in history. I'm so glad I saw it live. It's unfair the Knicks still won.

I was watching live too. It was a great night of basketball: legit good game with Pacers/Heat, followed by the most embarrassing double over time game in history. Knicks winning deprived me of a great meltdown (but man are the Bucks bad--were they really trying to compete for a playoff spot this year?). Knicks fans, having the most embarrassing franchise in the NBA for some time now, have mastered the art of self-loathing. Imagine if the Bargs shot would have cost them the game after Woodson's no timeout? Amazing happens.

[Sobchak]

Seth Rosenthal had a hilarious recap of last night's Knicks/Bucks game, too.

But is Bargs retarded? Full blown retarded?
