    I have to say, I can't figure out what Ginobili is doing on offense.

    I've seen this play out several times this game, and none were hold for the last shot situations:

    Ginobili receives a pass, retreats with the ball to close to half court, dribbles and dribbles aimlessly. Finally, he sees the shot clock at about 5, thinks to himself "I better do something", so he...

    turns it over.

    If they were passing the ball, looking for a shot, that would be one thing. Sometimes no one gets what they think is a good look. But he's just holding the ball as if the shot clock is off and there are 20 seconds left in the quarter!

    What a game ! Merry Xmas Spurs fans!!! Got beat down! Coach pop coached the end of that game terribly due to frustration.. Kept subbing his guys in and out because he threw in the towel before the players did

    I watched Inside the NBA and this happened



    they replayed it like 10 more times during the show.

    They also had a touching piece about Craig Sager, but played it at 2 AM. Geez.

    It was nice having a day off, and then a day of only a couple games. Setting your fantasy rosters on a daily basis is hard work. With football you just set it once, and then check it Sunday morning again. With basketball, you're constantly looking at how every player in the league is doing, looking out for adds/drops, transaction trends, injuries, etc. It's stressful! haha

    Spurs aren't the same team without Kawhi. Saw this last year, when he was hurt they struggled, when he came back they practically won all of their regular season games.

    And the injury he has is nightmarish, he has no feeling in his hand, I pinched a nerve back in march, had that numb feeling for 2+ months non stop (it feels like your hands are asleep and no matter what you do, you cant get them to wake up).....

    What happened to him? When is he coming back? I didn't even know he was hurt in any way until yesterday when Yisman said he wasn't playing.

    Bucks beat the Hawks by 30 on the road :D:confused: haha wtf?

    No Parker, off game from Alphabet, that must mean we're winning! Seriously though, Dudley 10 for 10, that was sick.

    bruised hand. Has missed 8 of SA's last 10. He'll probably miss at least the next few games as well.

    @JetLifeLo and @NYJATW I was wrong about the Clippers, Blake Griffin hasn't lookes like the same guy this season. If this holds up, the Thunder will win the West.

    it'll be tough considering they'll be a 6-8 seed, IMO

    multiple series on the road

    I do think OKC (when healthy) is ultimately the best in the West, with SA (when healthy) right behind them, but with teams like Houston and Golden State having home court...

    It's pretty wide open.

    Yeah not having home court would be rough, but the seeding is nowhere near set. Right now cliche as it sounds, I'm taking it 1 game at a time, first focusing on the suns losing and okc winning.

    it's not set, I'm being realistic with OKC's range, given how far they are behind the top 5.

    I can see all eight teams in the West potentially making the finals, and my pick changes daily . The three top teams in the West last season, may end up with the three lowest seeds; it's insane that teams such as the Grizzles, Mavericks, Rockets, and Blazers may not even get to the second round.

    Meh, I don't think they're good enough defensively to win a title. I realize I said they'd make it out of the west a week ago, but that was an overreaction. They lack an elite perimeter defender, and they start three below average defenders and possibly four depending on how Rondo plays on that side of the floor. They also look thin in the front court, now that they've traded Brandon Wright.

    I made a solid post before when I spoke on that team having no identity if they aren't running fast breaks all night.. And they look worse this year than before.. I'd love okc to play them again in the playoffs

    Better before the trade.. Monta & rondo are too hands on.. I think it would be genius to make monta 6th man.. Wether he likes it or not .. It's best for that team .. Would be pretty scary too
