The warriors crowd sounds like a bunch of teenage girls at a one direction concert every time a warriors player lines up a three.

Mirotic needs to just shoot the ball rather than pump faking every single time.

Why? People bite on it every now and then. And its not like he's a good shooter. I'll take foul shots over his euro bricks.

The Warriors are damn good. But can we chill with this chasing history stuff? At least until after the All Star Break? I don't even know what Stephanie Curry was talking about during his interviews for the ESPN broadcast...longest streak to start the season? Who gives a fuck? The west is a little down and the east, though maybe a little better, is still mediocre. They have a legit shot at 72-10 but its November. ESPN is going to make me start hating these guys by clubbing us over the head with this premature ejaculation nonsense.

Also I am still blown away Luke Walton is getting propped up as a thing when Ron Adams is sitting on that bench.

Do the Warriors lose before the '6ers win?

He gives up the ball quite a bit trying to draw a foul. Did it twice in the end there. Teams won't bite on that with proper time to prepare in the playoffs. I can see how one would get annoyed with ESPN getting carried away with the best record narrative. I don't really watch any ESPN programming outside of live games so it doesn't bother me.

Well its a catch 22 when you suck at everything like Niko does right now. This was actually one of his better games since the first week or so of the season.

The Spurs have to be the worst looking 10-3 team in NBA history. Their offense is a fucking mess.

Just goes to show you can cherry pick a stat despite how fucking terrible a player is. Doug McDermott is also the best offensive player in the NBA fwiw.

He's been just awful. It's sad when a guy you just gave $80m to has a mediocre game like he did Monday and that's cause for celebration.

On the other hand, the Heat are playing great defense and I love Winslow, Whiteside, and Tyler Johnson. Finally some youth in Miami.

And so far this season Tyler Johnson > Dragic.
