    Speaking of which, how many outstanding draft picks do the Lakers still owe from years-old trades?

    they still owe their 2018 first and second round picks and their 2019 second rounder. however they own denver's 2018 second rounder and chicago's 2019 second rounder so they're really not bad off.

    a lot of anomalous stuff early in the year. i think crazier than steph not missing a free throw so far is the fact that he's leading the league in attempts.

    and as bad as i felt for you cavs fans losing to brooklyn last night, i felt way worse for A Corpse of Disapproval. that loss to the rockets was just brutal. great experience for a young team that needs to learn to close games, but hard to see it that way in the moment.

    Don't feel bad, I don't think we were up 3-1 at any point? [face_party]

    That 76ers/Houston game was a heartbreaker. I watched the first half. Wanted to watch the Thunder and figured since Houston had caught up the game would be over. Then when the Thunder game went to half time I switched back cause the 76ers were somehow ahead. But it wasn't to be...and I was really pulling for the 76ers cause any loss for Houston is good with me. And I actually don't mind the 76ers.

    If the Bucks can play a game at The Mecca, why can’t the Lakers play one at The Forum?

    Considering I'm part of the Texas Triangle Rivalry, I agree (though I still think the Rockets are a lesser evil than the Mavs...at least Houston doesn't have Mark Cuban)

    Celts got a good win against the Bucks. Giannis is really good though, fun to watch.

    Won't happen. They have to play the Suns twice this year.

    Hornets/Rockets was a real disappointment after the first quarter.

    the grizzlies beat the warriors and rockets then lose to the mavs. nets beat the cavs then lose to the knicks. the nba is off to a typically crazy start.

    I'm not gonna lose sleep over losing to the Orlando Tragic. It's a regular season game, and for us Spurs fans, regular season losses are like a drop in the bucket.

    I'm creating an alternate reality where the NBA stopped having things happen after, say, June 20th, 2016.

    Who wants to join me there?

    Just returned from watching the 76ers have prison sex with the Atlanta Hawks.

    I forgot what it felt like to have a .500 team. 4th straight game where a minimum of 6 players had double digit scoring. 8th straight game where Simmons put up Magic Johnson numbers.

    I am fine living this very temporary pipe dream where Philly has a better record than the Cavs. That will probably change quickly but I'll always have this week.
