Sorry about the font, fixed...
Hes the reigning DPOY and everyone knows he shouldnt have gotten it; Green and Jordan should have gotten it; Who insulted and how and Im acting insulted
; Dude ive stated pretty good facts about GS and Spurs and Cavs; I dont have a dog in the fight for either; I like seeing good basketball; Again to say GS has small improvements is ridiculous just as to say they are the same team; the spurs key players are not younger; The spurs go where T Parker takes them period; Ive watch bball long enough to know that GS is extremely improve from last year...
Yes he started to change or did change, but look what happened again; He got hurt in the playoffs and even more hurt in the finals; Dude body is brittle; great talent but body is not going to hold up...
But the injury bug is always more prevalent with older players or players who have been constantly injured; Manu is already hurt; Parker has been hurt off and on the last few years; Age just catching up to them; And Im telling you now, no matter how could Leonard is playing, if Parker isnt playing great no way the beat GS; Plus if you notice Leonard offense really suffers when he has to guard an elite offensive player; who do u think will be guarding Curry???
Memphis is keeping up with folks with Chalmers in the rotation. Interesting.
Good news. Finding his confidence and spots on the floor.

Can someone explain to me how the Wizards only scored 6 freaking points against the Hornets in the 4th quarter??
Drummond gave Whiteside that work...
Mo Williams comes back and boom the offense becomes stagnant again and they allow too much dribble penetration again.. Having Williams and Jefferson in the back court at the same time..
Well I didnt watch the game but they fuckers had many turnovers
...maybe I'm the only one seeing this but, it appears LeBron has lost a step, or something. Maybe all those miles on those legs are catching up with him, he's an old ass 30-31. He just doesn't look the same out there this season 
Not really but I'll let u cook
18/20/5 vs 15/13/3
I wouldn't call that giving someone work.. That was a pretty even matchup considering
Oh wait u ain't watch the game? Lol

Dude, he started off like last season, just like that. The season is a marathon. It's an early ploy if he's playing like that. I don't watch Clev that close.
Houston stinks
sixers almost won a game
Shit they had the lead with like 2:30 left
Sixers lost? They was winning late.
The east being more competitive than the west has being surprising. Clippers are a disappointment so far. GS, Cavs, and spurs are the only teams ready for a 'ship. Zingis is ROY so far. Whitset is DOY and curry is MVP so far.
Curry then the Warriors overshadowing many things
1.Cavs & Spurs great starts
2. Paul George playing amazing
3. Rondo is still Rondo
4. The East
5. Mavs & Knicks been good
Wanted to only do 5 but
6. H-town, Nola(seem like they finally understand the system), Memphis(Rio been a spark)

Byron Scott says benching Kobe Bryant for poor play 'not an option'
Bretos: Kobe's not a good fit for the Lakers
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- No matter how much Kobe Bryant struggles during possibly his final season in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers star will not be benched for poor play, coach Byron Scott told ESPN.com on Friday.
Scott said that under no circumstances would he sit the 37-year-old Bryant, who is shooting a career-worst 31.1 percent from the field and 19.5 percent from 3-point range.
"I would never, never, never do that," Scott said after practice at the Lakers' facility. "That's not an option whatsoever. No, that's not an option."

Scott and Bryant were teammates during Bryant's rookie season. Bryant is now in his 20th NBA season, all of which he has spent with the Lakers.
Bryant is averaging more field goal attempts per game (a team-high 16.4) than points (15.2). His field-goal percentage ranks 122nd out of 122 qualified players, and his 3-point percentage ranks last out of 105 qualified players.
ESPN's real plus-minus, which measures a player's impact on team performance per 100 possessions, placed Bryant 379th in the NBA and 73rd for small forwards, the position he has largely played this season. Last season, Bryant ranked 301st in the NBA and 55th among shooting guards, the position he primarily played.
In Tuesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors, Bryant shot 1-of-14, tying the worst shooting performance of his career in which he attempted at least five shots. He also shot 1-of-14 in November 2014, in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
Scott has been adamant that he won't lessen Bryant's minutes (30.5 per game, second-highest on the Lakers), nor will he change Bryant's role (Bryant starts).
Scott was asked if the Lakers' plan, then, would just be to keep Bryant as healthy as possible and put him in positions to succeed this season.
"Absolutely," Scott told ESPN.com. "And we'll just roll with the punches."
Scott said Bryant would play Saturday when the Lakers play the Trail Blazers in Portland, and then the team will evaluate whether he can play Sunday against the Indiana Pacers at Staples Center.
Bryant is coming off three consecutive season-ending injuries, most recently a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder that sidelined him after 35 games in 2014-15.

You don't bench "killer instinct". Shoot your way out of it Kobe!
21 straight wins for Inkosi over Mike's team dating back to his first stint with Cleveland. "Killer instinct"
