Let’s fkn go!

[NeedlesKane]

No offense, but I don't need the NBA players taking a political stance. I almost want to quit watching. I got mad at Steve Nash back in the day for getting political. He's a basketball player. Play basketball.

[NeedlesKane]

Never thought it'd be this dead in here during a regular season game... in shock. I am mad about the politics. Everyone else's excuse here? You don't need to social distance yourself from a keyboard or other input (communication) device.

I think I remember being slightly annoyed at Nash at the time, but didn’t he turn out to be correct?

[Melonhead]

KP on fire.

AND FUCK THE REFS

And our defense sucks down low

Maybe from your perspective.

[Melonhead]

Hardaway fouled at the 3 no call. Harden gets them all though

[Melonhead]

BOBAN lol

[Thespiralgoeson]

KP is f*cking awesome so far. Luka has been dogsh*t. He's got butterfingers. He's lost the ball at least three times.

Also, Harden is on pace to score 92 points in this game.

[Melonhead]

Westbrook is such a punk in game. He faked like he got hit as he swipes uncontrollably and pops luka in the mouth

[Thespiralgoeson]

And Luka just dribbles the clock out. WTF. He looks completely out of sorts.

[MFFL]

160 to 158 final score

[Thespiralgoeson]

When it comes to running the point, Burke >>> Wright.

[NeedlesKane]

Last 84 point 1st quarter? Seriously? I don't remember one.

[Melonhead]

NOT A CHARGE. Hes already in air

As much as I like Delon, this is true. Better feel.

And rips a three

[FreshJive]

Westbrook seems to have shaken the COVID without any effect.

[Melonhead]

Burke taking all the guards minutes hell yeah

[Melonhead]

Refs are calling everything they can to avoid giving Harden his third foul

[MFFL]

So many turnovers

[MFFL]

What a weak pass

[MFFL]

Let's get Harden his 4th foul

[Melonhead]

KP is a monster

[FreshJive]

If only we could get the Rockets in a playoff matchup.

Houston’s got no chance at guarding him.

Its not a political stance. Amazing to read such things after so many years.

The entire american police system is a trainwreck and the more measures/protests/whatever to change it, the better. I mean pretty obvious when every trigger happy smock with anger issues can choose to be a cop and gets his batch after laughable four months of training when other western countries have a complex selection process and three freaking years of police academy. Im saying this as a german.

Also interesting that you complain about this "political stance" but you have no problem with the military jerk fest before every single game (and yes military jerk fest is what pretty much every european sports fan thinks about it)

[MFFL]

Trey is on fire

[Skywalker]

what a fucking joke these refs

Must spread rep

[FreshJive]

170 incoming

[MFFL]

Rockets have 3 players with 3 fouls and Harden with 4

[Thespiralgoeson]

Great way to close the half. Mavs' offense is looking great. Burke for MVP.

God, I f*cking missed basketball.

True, but it also goes to show just how far KP has come since the beginning of the season. Remember just a few short months ago, he looked terrible against smaller defenders. He was completely uncomfortable in the post, rushing everything, didn't look comfortable at all. He just looks so much more confident now.

I’m yelling at every basket like it’s a game 7. So hype right now

Didn’t want to bog down the thread, but it’s halftime. I mean, no wmds and we are still wasting money enforcing freedom 20 years later. Not that I think Nash had any special insight or anything.
