THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN

The NBA season is here! Join us as we shoot the breeze during the marquee TNT doubleheader, beginning with Bulls-Heat and ending with Clippers-Lakers.
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Spor
Mitchell Northam [1:18 AM]:
I’m stunned that the only person to crack 20 points in this game was Xavier Henry. Not CP3, Gasol, Griffin, Nash, Crawford… XAVIER HENRY.
Mike Prada [1:18 AM]:
alright. good night, everyone. happy nba!
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [1:18 AM]:
@Mike Prada Definitely a bracket-buster
Mitchell Northam [1:17 AM]:
Anyone pick Jordan Farmar for most improved player or nah?
Mike Prada [1:17 AM]:
| West Region, First Round | F |
| 2. L.A. Clippers | 103 |
| 15. L.A. Lakers | 116 |
Mike Prada [1:16 AM]:
@Sam Vecenie no. only really big games.
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [1:16 AM]:
wow, Lakers were the underdog… gotta get used that… welp peace, y’all.
Kevin Nesgoda [1:16 AM]:
THE LAKERS ARE A ONE SEED IN THR WEST!!!!
Sam Vecenie [1:16 AM]:
is this a nightly thing, Mike?
Mike Prada [1:15 AM]:
lakers win, 116-103. the underdogs own LA. hope y’all enjoyed the live chat
Deleran [1:15 AM]:
I just watched the Clippers get beat down by Xavier Henry and Jodie Meeks. I don’t even know if I can comprehend that.
Rodger Sherman [1:14 AM]:
that thing i said about ryan hollins: he misses a dunk
Clay Wendler [1:13 AM]:
KeenanAllenFett [1:13 AM]:
the +/- of the lakers 2nd unit- Hill, Farmar, Meeks, Henry, Johnson: +19, +17, +21, +17, +17
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [1:13 AM]:
@Mike Prada AWESOME!!!
Sam Vecenie [1:12 AM]:
REGGIE BULLOCK TIME
Mike Prada [1:12 AM]:
Doc Rivers should collect $100 from all his players again but this time just light it all on fire in front of them instead of hiding it
— SB Nation NBA (@SBNationNBA) October 30, 2013
Mike Prada [1:10 AM]:
OH MY GOD REGGIE BUTCHERED THE PHRASE AGAIN
Mitchell Northam [1:10 AM]:
Miller: “They hav efound gold here with Xavier Henry”
Rodger Sherman [1:10 AM]:
HAHAHAHAHA HE MESSED UP ANOTHER MAN’S TRASH AGAIN
Mike Prada [1:08 AM]:
Mitchell Northam [1:07 AM]:
Jordan Hill: 15 minutes, 6-8 FG, 12 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 fouls
Clay Wendler [1:06 AM]:
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [1:06 AM]:
offensive rebounds, effort plays.. it’s been a while to see these things.. esp from the second unit..
Sam Vecenie [1:05 AM]:
#RYANKELLYWATCH. It’s officially on.
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [1:05 AM]:
man Im certainly proud of the Lakers on this night..
Mike Prada [1:05 AM]:
this is stunning
Deleran [1:03 AM]:
If the Lakers are seriously gonna run this lineup in crunch time and play like this, I don’t think I can hate them, no matter how much I want to.
Mitchell Northam [1:03 AM]:
@Mike Prada I promised earlier that is he won DPOY I wouldn’t tweet for a month
Kevin Nesgoda [1:02 AM]:
lol at kobe trying to his lower teeth thing
Mike Prada [1:02 AM]:
deandre jordan defensive player of the year hah ha ha ha ha ha ha
Kevin Nesgoda [1:02 AM]:
lakers gonna win by 20
Sam Vecenie [1:02 AM]:
Shawne Williams just jab-stepped Jared Dudley out of his shoes.
Sam Vecenie [1:01 AM]:
@Mike Prada yeah, Google is telling me that this is a thing that happened.
Mitchell Northam [1:00 AM]:
How didn’t a Clipper get that rebound?
Mike Prada [1:00 AM]:
@Sam Vecenie didn’t orlando also win their first game without dwight? believe it was against denver
Rodger Sherman [1:00 AM]:
Jordan Farmar must’ve averaged 30 in Turkey last year.
Sam Vecenie [12:59 AM]:
Can’t help but remember the Cavs beating the Celtics opening night in 2010 after LeBron left.
Sam Vecenie [12:57 AM]:
Jared Dudley literally just did the o-lay move to let the bull Farmar into the paint.
Mitchell Northam [12:57 AM]:
Welcome to the Jordan Farmar show. Co-starring Wesley Johnson and Swaggy P
Kevin Nesgoda [12:56 AM]:
jordan farmar is also a problem
Mike Prada [12:56 AM]:
jared dudley just ushered jordan farmar down the lane
Deleran [12:56 AM]:
@Deleran I came up with 7.9 million
Rodger Sherman [12:56 AM]:
Xavier has only scored 15 or more three times in his NBA career. 15 right now.
Mitchell Northam [12:55 AM]:
@Deleran not as much as any lineup the Nets will trot out this season.
Mike Prada [12:55 AM]:
bad closeouts. late rotations. clippers’ defense is a problem
Deleran [12:55 AM]:
What’s the combined salary of the team the Lakers have on the floor right now?
Kevin Nesgoda [12:54 AM]:
the hell is going on here
Mitchell Northam [12:54 AM]:
HE MADE A SHOT
Rodger Sherman [12:54 AM]:
THERE’s wesley johnson
KeenanAllenFett [12:54 AM]:
count down to Swaggy’s fadeaway game winner.
Mitchell Northam [12:53 AM]:
@Sam Vecenie ah very well…
Ben Swanson [12:53 AM]:
DeAndre could stand to take some tips from Mike Woodson on how to groom the tightest goatee
Sam Vecenie [12:53 AM]:
@primetimeMitch college insider has him as a all-american defensive player. Nothing official but he was somewhat regarded defensively in college
Kevin Nesgoda [12:52 AM]:
future hall of famer xavier henry!
Mitchell Northam [12:52 AM]:
I don’t see where Collison made all-defense, but he was 2x all PAC10 first team
Mike Prada [12:49 AM]:
@Sam Vecenie makes sense
Sam Vecenie [12:49 AM]:
@Mike Prada to answer your question about his college D, Mike, Collison got the easier guard matchup, Westbrook the difficult one. It allowed him to vulture passing lanes and rack up steals.
Mitchell Northam [12:49 AM]:
Wesley Johnson, 0-8 shooting, 1 rebound, 3 fouls, 11 minutes
Sam Vecenie [12:47 AM]:
JORDAN FARMAR HAS TWO TITLES WITH THE LAKERS. HE’S WILLING THEM TO VICTORY WITH HIS RINGGGGZZZZ
Rodger Sherman [12:47 AM]:
JODIE! (say it as you would say “Kobe”)
Kevin Nesgoda [12:47 AM]:
I’m so perplexed I can’t even use proper tense right now.
Deleran [12:47 AM]:
Pau Gasol and Steve Nash are on the bench. This is basically a D-League team right now.
Mike Prada [12:47 AM]:
HERE COMES CINDERELLA
Kevin Nesgoda [12:47 AM]:
HOW ARE THE LAKERS WINNER!?
Mitchell Northam [12:46 AM]:
more bad defense by Collison. Wow.
Mike Prada [12:45 AM]:
why is darren collison such a bad defender? wasn’t he all-defense in college?
Mike Prada [12:44 AM]:
@Rodger Sherman he’s also their best backup big
Rodger Sherman [12:44 AM]:
Every time I watch Ryan Hollins, I’m not sure whether this is the first time he’s ever played basketball. He’s in like his ninth year.
Mike Prada [12:44 AM]:
X marks the spot
Mitchell Northam [12:43 AM]:
@Kevin Nesgoda that trade makes the most sense. bottom line, Anderson won’t finis the season as a Pelican.
Rodger Sherman [12:42 AM]:
@Kevin Nesgoda i want him to teach me all his celebrations
Mike Prada [12:41 AM]:
The Clippers lead the Lakers 79-75 after 3. Blake Griffin has 19 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast and this face after a dunk: pic.twitter.com/gkWrm3B8G1
— The NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) October 30, 2013
Kevin Nesgoda [12:41 AM]:
@primetimeMitch Ryan Anderson belongs to the Rockets.
Kevin Nesgoda [12:40 AM]:
I want LeBron James to adopt me. Is it creepy that I want him to lift me up so I can dunk and be proud of me?
Mitchell Northam [12:40 AM]:
@Mike Prada Clippers are going to be desperate for a backup big. A stretch 4 would be good for them, somebody like Ryan Anderson.
Sam Vecenie [12:39 AM]:
Seriously…this is as good a barometer for how bad Byron Mullens is as exists: Jared Dudley has to play the 4 because Mullens can’t.
Mike Prada [12:38 AM]:
collison can’t let farmar get middle. lots of really basic defensive breakdowns tonight. bulls had some weird ones too
Kevin Nesgoda [12:37 AM]:
@Mike Prada I was like dear god, why!
Mike Prada [12:37 AM]:
also not sure how good an omen it is that dudley has to be this team’s backup 4
Mitchell Northam [12:36 AM]:
Kinda forgot the Clippers signed Collison, till then.
Mike Prada [12:36 AM]:
@Kevin Nesgoda no, 4
Kevin Nesgoda [12:36 AM]:
@Mike Prada Do they have him playing the five?
Mike Prada [12:35 AM]:
why is dudley setting up inside the three-point line so often?
Sam Vecenie [12:33 AM]:
@Mike Prada pretty sure he’s just incorrectly quoting Macklemore there.
Mitchell Northam [12:33 AM]:
@Mike Prada I wish TNT would make Miller their trash.
Mike Prada [12:32 AM]:
“another man’s trash is another man’s treasure, as they say.” -reggie miller
Rodger Sherman [12:31 AM]:
blake griffin always have this hitch in his FT? Looking Chuck Hayes-esque.
Kevin Nesgoda [12:31 AM]:
@Kevin Nesgoda ===> that’s how my head felt after Reggie Miller spoke of Xavier Henry and then continued into future hall of famer talk.
Deleran [12:31 AM]:
These guys know the preseason is over, right?
Kevin Nesgoda [12:29 AM]:
Rodger Sherman [12:28 AM]:
can’t let him finish that layup, Barnes. Knock every person within a 20 foot radius of you to the ground.
Mike Prada [12:27 AM]:
ha ha ha chris kaman ha ha ha
Rodger Sherman [12:27 AM]:
@Ben Swanson he’s just trying to learn his way around LA!
Sam Vecenie [12:27 AM]:
@Mike Prada @Ben Swanson Tournament of Roses parade.
Mike Prada [12:26 AM]:
@Ben Swanson macy’s day parade?
Ben Swanson [12:25 AM]:
Maybe the parade Doc was planning wasn’t for an NBA championship?
Kevin Nesgoda [12:24 AM]:
Hey Ziller, I’m just going to warn you now. That I’m going to occasionally pop up on your game threads and post a single word and then leave 4-7 times a game.
Mike Prada [12:22 AM]:
This gutty 14 seed is hanging around
— Lee Jenkins (@SI_LeeJenkins) October 30, 2013
Sam Vecenie [12:22 AM]:
@Clay Wendler D’Antoni looks Walter White-ian when angry.
Kevin Nesgoda [12:22 AM]:
STEVIE BLAKE!!!
Clay Wendler [12:20 AM]:
Sam Vecenie [12:19 AM]:
Yes, more importantly Reggie, Jordan HAS been the anchor of this defense tonight. And it hasn’t been good.
Tom Ziller [12:19 AM]:
Doc Rivers pressed the button on DAJ’s electric shock collar after that attempt.
Kevin Nesgoda [12:19 AM]:
Did… DeAndre Jordan… Just… show…. a… post move?
Mike Prada [12:18 AM]:
bad defensive breakdown by redick there. clips’ defense still has issues
Rodger Sherman [12:18 AM]:
And then Swaggy blows the transition layup instead of hitting somebody with an easier angle to the hoop… Runaway star of the NBA’s opening night.
Kevin Nesgoda [12:18 AM]:
STEVIE BLAKE!!!!
Kevin Nesgoda [12:18 AM]:
@Tom Ziller The day Barkley retires.
Sam Vecenie [12:16 AM]:
@Mike Prada He’s probably a little Ja-red in the face after that foul.
Rodger Sherman [12:16 AM]:
Hey, Nick Young drew a foul on a jumper instead of getting called for one!
Mike Prada [12:16 AM]:
@Sam Vecenie safe to say his night’s been kind of a dud
Tom Ziller [12:15 AM]:
D’Antoni Face is one of the top 20 things about the NBA being back.
Rodger Sherman [12:14 AM]:
That ad clowns on Craig Sager’s suit and then shows a phenomenally garish colorway of CP3’s Jordans, which seems hypocritical
Mike Prada [12:13 AM]:
d’antoni was so mad
Deleran [12:12 AM]:
I don’t think this is what D’Antoni signed up for when he agreed to coach the Lakers.
Clay Wendler [12:12 AM]:
who allowed that to happen
Clay Wendler [12:12 AM]:
i just realized d’antoni is still coaching the lakers
Sam Vecenie [12:11 AM]:
So Jared Dudley isn’t having the best night…
Tom Ziller [12:08 AM]:
How long until The Starters are the NBA on TNT panel?
Deleran [12:07 AM]:
Oh man, I’m on the west coast and I got so confused there.
Rodger Sherman [12:06 AM]:
The Starters shout-out! Those are internet people!
Kevin Nesgoda [12:06 AM]:
@Conrad Kaczmarek Wooooooo!!!!
Kevin Nesgoda [12:05 AM]:
@Rodger Sherman Damn!
Rodger Sherman [12:04 AM]:
@Conrad Kaczmarek whee! real NBA opening day!
Conrad Kaczmarek [12:01 AM]:
Guys, the Cavs are back today!
Rodger Sherman [12:00 AM]:
Chris Webber is the best person TNT has.
Rodger Sherman [12:00 AM]:
@Kevin Nesgoda nope, unfortunately
Ben Swanson [11:57 PM]:
If they don’t show the Kaman alley-oop in the highlights, this halftime show is a farce
Kevin Nesgoda [11:57 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman Did Sacre play?
Deleran [11:56 PM]:
I don’t know if it’s possible to have a tight rotation when your squad looks like that.
Rodger Sherman [11:55 PM]:
errr, just 11. My bad.
Rodger Sherman [11:55 PM]:
D’Antoni played all 12 dudes in the first half. Think they’re trying to figure things out?
Mike Prada [11:54 PM]:
If this is what the Lakers are going to be this year, I'm f**king ecstatic. This is as fun as losing gets.
— Silver Screen & Roll (@LakersBlog_SSR) October 30, 2013
Kevin Nesgoda [11:53 PM]:
@Mike Prada I figured the Lakers would be one of those teams that scored 103 a night… Just gave up 111.
Mike Prada [11:52 PM]:
halftime. 57-55, clippers. nobody wants to play any defense
Sam Vecenie [11:52 PM]:
After one half, “points” are beating “shots” on Nick Young’s stat line. Barely. For now.
— Sean Highkin (@highkin) October 30, 2013
tw10 [11:52 PM]:
@Mike Prada Seriously. He would’ve been awesome in that game.
Rodger Sherman [11:51 PM]:
@Mike Prada gotta get that Gamebreaker for the second half
Mike Prada [11:50 PM]:
but no worries. nick young just picked up a bunch of trick points in nba street
tw10 [11:50 PM]:
So much movement, so little purpose
sheedali [11:49 PM]:
There’s the Swaggy P we all know and love
Mike Prada [11:49 PM]:
NICK YOUNG
Mike Prada [11:48 PM]:
That's the same incredulous face Doc used whenever KG would attack someone with a hatchet.

Mike Prada [11:47 PM]:
“let’s see if he pulls his arm down” *arm’s clearly pulled down. “LET THEM PLAY”
sheedali [11:46 PM]:
have to love the religious destiny philosophy re: DeAndre being dropped right now
Kevin Nesgoda [11:46 PM]:
Sonics Rising started a fantasy league kinda like the bad quarterback league. More points for turnovers, flagrants, technicals, ejects, suspensions, etc.
Mike Prada [11:46 PM]:
@Sam Vecenie ARM IS PART OF THE BALL
Sam Vecenie [11:45 PM]:
In what realm was that a good play on the ball, Reggie?
tw10 [11:45 PM]:
Young taking the ball to the hoop…it must be opening night
tw10 [11:45 PM]:
Nick
Deleran [11:44 PM]:
Swaggy P didn’t care for that foul
Rodger Sherman [11:43 PM]:
not feeling the increased delay of games thus far.
Mike Prada [11:43 PM]:
Dwight’s backdoor lob
Without Kobe Bryant, the Lakers will need to run more set offense than they did for most of the year. This backscreen play for Dwight Howard is an example of what’s possible when that happens.
Mike Prada [11:43 PM]:
so … lakers just ran this backdoor lob play for CHRIS KAMAN
Conrad Kaczmarek [11:43 PM]:
kind of hard to say after 20 minutes haha
Deleran [11:42 PM]:
Kaman oop
sheedali [11:42 PM]:
@Mike Prada one could argue Doc is a better motivator?
Mike Prada [11:40 PM]:
@Conrad Kaczmarek absolutely. but don’t see any major schematic changes with the coaching change
Sam Vecenie [11:40 PM]:
I know when I think Assassin’s Creed and Pirates, I think about how Drake Started from the Bottom.
Deleran [11:40 PM]:
They added a couple of good shooters, it’s not like they completely remade their team.
Conrad Kaczmarek [11:39 PM]:
they were pretty good last year
Mike Prada [11:39 PM]:
so far, this clippers team looks exactly like last year’s, for better or worse
Kevin Nesgoda [11:38 PM]:
Boobs
Mike Prada [11:38 PM]:
moving that down

SWAGGY P!!!!!
Clay Wendler [11:35 PM]:
haha oh steve blake no sweet play for you
sheedali [11:35 PM]:
Swag! on another note, would love to see a Nicholson – Rivers basketball debate
Mike Prada [11:35 PM]:
blake has to fix that hitch in his jumper
Clay Wendler [11:31 PM]:
haha kaman is on the lakers this year? as a disgruntled mavs fan that is so perfect
tw10 [11:31 PM]:
jared dudley runs like a fat guy
Paul Flannery [11:30 PM]:
“You may ask yourself, how did we get here?”
KeenanAllenFett [11:29 PM]:
@oracle gif me new category lolkers
Sam Vecenie [11:29 PM]:
Okay now don’t quote me on this guys….but Shawne Williams mighttttt be overmatched against Blake Griffin on the block.
Mike Prada [11:29 PM]:
THEORY: shawne williams cannot guard blake griffin
Clay Wendler [11:27 PM]:
i love your smooth stainless steel finish and sleek 80s looks
Deleran [11:27 PM]:
@Clay Wendler I love you. Don’t tell my wife.
elliotlevy2 [11:26 PM]:
@Clay Wendler Confused Steve Nash is confused
Clay Wendler [11:26 PM]:
“i have no memory of this place”
Kevin Nesgoda [11:26 PM]:
@Clay Wendler YES!!!!
Mike Prada [11:26 PM]:
@Clay Wendler oh god
Clay Wendler [11:26 PM]:
Mike Prada [11:25 PM]:
what better way to show lebron’s humanity than have an entire city run after him
Kevin Nesgoda [11:25 PM]:
SAGER IS GOING TO INTERVIEW KOBE!
tw10 [11:24 PM]:
At the beginning of last season, who would have ever thought that the Lakers would be trotting out X.Henry-Shawne Williams-Farmar-Young the very next year
Kevin Nesgoda [11:23 PM]:
Reggie is such a great analyst!
Mike Prada [11:22 PM]:
clips doing a lot of switching and aggressive trapping with no help behind, not sure if their defense really looks much different than last year
sexyscottish [11:22 PM]:
Not sure what’s funnier to watch….Jordan shooting a FT or Blake Griffin doing anything that isn’t a dunk??
Deleran [11:22 PM]:
I really hope someone caught a gif of Confused Steve Nash there
Clay Wendler [11:22 PM]:
Mike Prada [11:21 PM]:
@tw10 no time is too early for matt barnes
tw10 [11:20 PM]:
Little early in the year for that isn’t it
Mike Prada [11:20 PM]:
yeah that’s classic matty b right there
KeenanAllenFett [11:20 PM]:
Oh, Kendrick and Nick Young are cousins.
Deleran [11:19 PM]:
Forearm checking some dude #MattBarnesthings
sexyscottish [11:19 PM]:
Matt Barnes is a straight up punk
Paul Flannery [11:19 PM]:
Oh good, Matt Barnes is clotheslining guys for no reason again.
Mike Prada [11:19 PM]:
matt barnes kinda decked shawne williams there
KeenanAllenFett [11:19 PM]:
Looks at Lakers’ frontline, looks at Blake’s statline… oh
Mike Prada [11:18 PM]:
kobe is dressing for the lakers’ funeral
Rodger Sherman [11:17 PM]:
We’re acting like its crazy that the Lakers are playing all these randos, but remember that they started Andrew Goudelock in a playoff game last year.
sexyscottish [11:17 PM]:
I’m shocked Vince Mcmahon hasn’t tried to do a Diva’s match between Lebron and Blake yet
Mike Prada [11:17 PM]:
jordan hill doing nice things, great drag screen there. andrew was right
Rodger Sherman [11:16 PM]:
DAMN, darren collison
Mike Prada [11:16 PM]:
surprised eric bledsoe finished with a layup there
KeenanAllenFett [11:16 PM]:
Nick Young is proof of Voltaire’s Haters.
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [11:16 PM]:
@Sam Vecenie lol none at all…
Sam Vecenie [11:16 PM]:
Over/under 4 more mins until we get to some hot, steamy Mullens action on the floor?
Sam Vecenie [11:15 PM]:
2 Chainz ain’t got no worries.
Deleran [11:15 PM]:
@tw10 I think that would result in a Schadenfreude overload for fans of every other team
Rodger Sherman [11:15 PM]:
no need to worry, guys.

@KeenanAllenFett Too bad the lakeshow didn’t sign Mike Beasley. Imagine Nick Young and Beasley on the wing.
Conrad Kaczmarek [11:12 PM]:
welp
Kevin Nesgoda [11:11 PM]:
“Chris Kaman sticks it back in!” also can be heard on the porno Albino Asses #72, with commentary by Kevin Harlan as a DVD extra.
sexyscottish [11:11 PM]:
What’s gonna happen more tonight…..CP3 flops or Jamal Crawford illegal dribbles?
Deleran [11:11 PM]:
After this first quarter, 110 conceded would be a win for them
Sam Vecenie [11:11 PM]:
Matt Barnes may have eaten some popcorn before the game.
KeenanAllenFett [11:10 PM]:
Over/Under 12 games this season with Nick Young’s FGA as leading scorer?
sexyscottish [11:10 PM]:
what
Mike Prada [11:10 PM]:
I think most Lakers fans will take a team like this that scores 105 points and gives up 110
Kevin Nesgoda [11:10 PM]:
@Conrad Kaczmarek Did you ever think you’d type that in your life? Even as a joke at some point?
tw10 [11:09 PM]:
oh jodie
Conrad Kaczmarek [11:09 PM]:
The Lakers are gonna be really solid all the way up until Kobe comes back and he screws up the Chris Kaman-Xavier Henry chemistry

@Brendan Porath the depth of the 76ers.
tw10 [11:07 PM]:
And people complain about Ernie Grunfeld
sexyscottish [11:07 PM]:
Chris Kaman looks like the bad guy from Ghostbusters 2
tw10 [11:07 PM]:
Look at those roster additions.
Brendan Porath [11:07 PM]:
@Mike Prada So who’s _not _going to be in this rotation?
Kevin Nesgoda [11:07 PM]:
Oh wait… all is right in the world.
Kevin Nesgoda [11:06 PM]:
The Lakers are winning again!?
Deleran [11:06 PM]:
@Mike Prada That’s the LA Lakers, right?
Mike Prada [11:06 PM]:

| Clippers | 20 |
| Drew League All Stars | 21 |

@Mike Prada pau face

WesLOLy Johnson.
tw10 [11:06 PM]:
i cringed
Mike Prada [11:06 PM]:
the lakers’ lineup right now: jordan farmar, xavier henry, jodie meeks, wes johnson, chris kaman
Sam Vecenie [11:05 PM]:
@tw10 yeah he never really shot as well as he was supposed to.
Rodger Sherman [11:05 PM]:
who needs CP3 when you have JJ4?
sheedali [11:05 PM]:
JJ Reddick = poorman’s Bradley Beal.
Sam Vecenie [11:05 PM]:
@Sam Vecenie At least come up with something absurd like the Belgian Biscuit.
Ben Swanson [11:05 PM]:
smh just like th LAMESTREAM media to leave out Bernie Bickerstaff’s stint in their Lakers montage
Sam Vecenie [11:05 PM]:
@Mike Prada lol seriously. He played one year at Kansas lol
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [11:04 PM]:
but really, the Lakers are still more relevant the Celtics.. so I think it should just be a push…
Mike Prada [11:03 PM]:
@Sam Vecenie leave it to kevin harlan to give him a totally random nickname
sexyscottish [11:03 PM]:
Knowing that the Lakers are farther away from contention than the C’s makes me smile….A LOT
tw10 [11:03 PM]:
@Sam Vecenie I hope he sticks in the league. He was hyped as one of the safest picks that year
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [11:02 PM]:
@Sam Vecenie totally
Sam Vecenie [11:02 PM]:
Xavier “Kansas Comet” Henry is totally sticking, right?
Rodger Sherman [11:02 PM]:
XAVI-YAYYYYYY
Deleran [11:02 PM]:
@Clay Wendler This is what the internet was made for. There is no better time to be alive than today.
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [11:01 PM]:
@Clay Wendler LOL thank you..
Conrad Kaczmarek [11:01 PM]:
that is terrifying
Rodger Sherman [11:01 PM]:
Eight minutes into this game, the Lakers have already played two dudes who were legit just not in the league last year.
Clay Wendler [11:01 PM]:

Hello, Conrad.

one of these days, reggie miller’s kobe monologue will end

@samvecenie Craig’s insane suits are actually impressive to me. he looks normal in those ridiculous colors
KeenanAllenFett [10:59 PM]:
@Mike Prada what is, in possession of Nick Young?

Mike Prada [10:56 PM]:
| 1 | 5:59 |
| Nick Young missed shots so far | 4 |
| Nick Young missed shots left to go | 16 |
Brendan Porath [10:55 PM]:
Oh wow, forgot Ryan Kelly was in the NBA, and on the Lakers.
Rodger Sherman [10:55 PM]:
LOL at Nick Young missing the preposterous stepback and getting called for kicking his legs out
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:55 PM]:
@LeHalfrican lol Not Jan Vesely though??
Mike Prada [10:55 PM]:
six minutes, four shots for nick young. right on schedule
Deleran [10:55 PM]:
Pau should be scoring like 30 ppg until Kobe comes back. Look at the other options the Lakers have.
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:54 PM]:
@KeenanAllenFett but WHAT IF you are a Lakers fan and only played with them on 2k.. like EVER??
tw10 [10:54 PM]:
JJ and Gasol are going bananas
elliotlevy2 [10:54 PM]:
I see you, Pau Gasol.
Mike Prada [10:54 PM]:
pau gasol, stretch 5
Sam Vecenie [10:54 PM]:
@Mike Prada yeah, whenever you’re essentially letting JJ Redick go “Duke JJ Redick” you can’t say you’re doing much on offense.
Rodger Sherman [10:54 PM]:
ALL PAU EVERYTHING
KeenanAllenFett [10:54 PM]:
the heat have the roster we all fantasy drafted in like NBA 2K9.
sheedali [10:53 PM]:
*oops, wrong reply supposed to be at Garner
Mike Prada [10:53 PM]:
Bulls make late-game surge, fall to Heat in opener
The Heat showed balance and poise on offense through most of the game, but Chicago made things interesting late despite falling short of a remarkable comeback.
Mike Prada [10:53 PM]:
so far, can’t say i’ve seen a lot of offensive diversity from the clippers. but they’re playing the lakers os it works
Kevin Nesgoda [10:53 PM]:
@tw10 Yep… Yep…
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:53 PM]:
@Sam Vecenie oh damn… DUH… You’re right what was I thinking….?
sheedali [10:53 PM]:
@KeenanAllenFett Blake Griffin = American Jan Vesely
Rodger Sherman [10:53 PM]:
They’re just gonna let Pau go to work, huh. I’m okay with that.
Mike Prada [10:52 PM]:
@tw10 yup
tw10 [10:52 PM]:
Shawne…..Williams………..??? I didnt even know he was back in the league. From Memphis?
Sam Vecenie [10:51 PM]:
@Brandon ‘B G’ Garner but….Blake Griffin has no post moves, silly.
tw10 [10:51 PM]:
Is that
KeenanAllenFett [10:51 PM]:
@Mike Prada firmly in Berman territory
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:51 PM]:
Griffin with the patented post moves…
Rodger Sherman [10:51 PM]:
I am not ready for this much Shawne Williams.
tw10 [10:50 PM]:
Redick has really flown under the radar, but he’s improved every year. Wont stay underrated in LA
Kevin Nesgoda [10:49 PM]:
@Mike Prada seconded
Mike Prada [10:49 PM]:
I vote that we retire the “taking his talents” phrase forever
sheedali [10:49 PM]:
I can’t believe I just saw Swaggy P pass the ball.

@Mike Prada THERE IS TOO MUCH SWAG ON THE FLOOR.

Well… That was one of two leads we’ll see for the Lakers this year.
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:48 PM]:
Swaggy P’s shoe game is decent though… Ray Allen had the shoes on the night to me… #totallypointlesspost

@tw10 I grew up a Liverpool fan because of Kenny Dalglish

Mike Prada [10:46 PM]:
@Brendan Porath 5-21
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:46 PM]:
@Brendan Porath i say 8-21
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:46 PM]:
@sexyscottish hey I cannot debate that much, but it’s kinda like D Rose.. you just know something awesome could happen with Neymar.. but I agree with you point.

“Nick Young Supersaiyan Time”

Swaggy P coming to shoot 18% on corner 3’s!
sexyscottish [10:43 PM]:
@Brandon ‘B G’ Garner Neymar is an amazing talent I agree…but Messi and Ronaldo are the closest we’ve seen to Pele and Maradona in my opinion
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:43 PM]:
@tw10 @sexyscottish Idk I’ve been converted into a Neymar fan myself
sheedali [10:42 PM]:
if John Wall and Bradley Beal were somehow able to swap places with Rose & Butler, that heat team would’ve been cooked.
Mike Prada [10:42 PM]:
no backdoor cover. heat win the opener, 107-95. bring on the battle of la
tw10 [10:42 PM]:
@sexyscottish I’d say Ronaldo>Messi for fun factor…Ronaldo’s game winning goal’s the past few years have been awesome. But in basketball one guy can dominate the game…
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:41 PM]:
WELP, time for me to settle on in and watch Nick Young and my Lakers… :_(
Mike Prada [10:39 PM]:
lebron didn’t take that pull-up 17-footer much last year. spurs series may have convinced him he needs to shoot that … sometimes

Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:33 PM]:
@sexyscottish You do have a fair point… but I do look the other way since I KNOW the refs will as well… It was just insanely obvious on the post move..
Deleran [10:33 PM]:
What was the spread?
Mike Prada [10:33 PM]:
yeah we’re definitely getting a backdoor cover
Rodger Sherman [10:32 PM]:
this is just a 10-point game?
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:31 PM]:
@Kevin Nesgoda LOL.. yeah Christmas Day will be fun for sure… sleeves everywhere
sexyscottish [10:31 PM]:
@Brandon ‘B G’ Garner When DOESN’T Lebron travel??
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:29 PM]:
@Mike Prada yea he was established the left foot but then moved it to turn around, all without dribbling.. just a minor detail.. nothing really all that important..
Kevin Nesgoda [10:29 PM]:
@Mike Prada Was joking with someone yesterday that sleeves on NBA jerseys will lead to onesies.
Deleran [10:28 PM]:
It’s hard to see the name Donald Sterling and not feel bad.
Mike Prada [10:27 PM]:
@Brandon ‘B G’ Garner i’d have to look closer. maybe?
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:27 PM]:
probably wrong*
Brandon ‘B G’ Garner [10:27 PM]:
i know i might(READ:probably) but, did Lebron just travel during his initial move into a back-down?
Mike Prada [10:26 PM]:
Doc Rivers said Donald Sterling did get cold feet on J.J. Redick-Eric Bledsoe trade. "I think that happens all the time."

@EricBuenning well they obviously need to retire giannis immediately

@Mike Prada Hmmmmmmmmmm
Eric Buenning [10:21 PM]:
@Mike Prada He was great, but there just wasn’t that continued success. Allen was gone not even two years after his best season here. Plus, Giannis has his number now :)
Mike Prada [10:19 PM]:
i honestly don’t think dunleavy can dunk. when’s the last time he did?
Kevin Nesgoda [10:18 PM]:
Why didn’t Dunleavy dunk it?

DOWN TO 15

@Deleran 2001 bucks have to be one of the most irrelevant conference finalists ever. right up there with the 2007 jazz

Kevin Nesgoda [10:14 PM]:
@Deleran We might really consider it in Seattle.

Yeah, that’s his best chance. He did take a team to the Eastern Finals there that I totally didn’t remember.

If there was a question going into the game of how long it would take the Heat to forget about last season’s success, the answer looked a lot like 12 minutes.

Paul George makes three plays in a row to get Pacers back in front by 4. Andrew Nicholson lock-down continues.
Paul Flannery [8:49 PM]:
@Mike Prada It will never happen
Mike Prada [8:49 PM]:
this is never going to happen, but what if chicago started taj and had boozer anchor the second unit?
Rodger Sherman [8:46 PM]:
@Clay Wendler I’m a Knicks fan, and I’m having terrible, terrible flashbacks right now
Paul Flannery [8:46 PM]:
Pacers-Magic is way more compelling that Heat-Bulls right now.
Mike Prada [8:46 PM]:
roy hibbert eats those who eat babies
Mike Prada [8:45 PM]:
@Clay Wendler woof
Clay Wendler [8:45 PM]:
Deleran [8:44 PM]:
Steven Adams looked good for them in the preseason. Having an actual NBA center on the roster would be huge for them.
Rodger Sherman [8:44 PM]:
@Mike Prada Woj doesn’t even watch games, does he.
Mike Prada [8:43 PM]:
that’s awesome
Mike Prada [8:43 PM]:
Y! Sources: All-Star guard Russell Westbrook could return to Oklahoma City lineup within two weeks. http://t.co/bblRk9DDzg

THE BULLS SCORED
Jeff Clark [8:42 PM]:
@Mike Prada Thibs and Doc Rivers swallowed frogs on a dare several years ago, voices never the same since (no, not really)
Mike Prada [8:40 PM]:
there’s no way thibodeau loses his voice this quickly. he definitely has a voice box
Tom Lewis [8:40 PM]:
Roy Hibbert with first smothered chicken block, leads to 3 pointer from Paul George, but Magic going nowhere.
jimbajuice [8:39 PM]:
Roy Hibbert triple double w/ blocks alert…
Deleran [8:39 PM]:
Both teams shooting 30% so far. Real barn burner.
Paul Flannery [8:38 PM]:
Roy Hibbert just eviscerated Jason Maxiell
WizKid214life [8:38 PM]:
Andrew Nicholson looking great for the Magic against Indiana 18 points off the bench
agolden [8:38 PM]:
@Mike Prada well yeah that’s the most likely, but not too interesting, IMO. I think Pacers with Scola are gonna be really nice in the playoffs… and the Heat - its just so hard to three-peat. The Thunder have gone from Harden to Lamb. Unless Ibaka steps up, I don’t see them in the Finals.
Jeff Clark [8:36 PM]:
LeBron, blows a layup. Always a choker, he’ll never win anything. #tweetsfrom3yrsago
Kevin Nesgoda [8:36 PM]:
LeBron goes Austin Rivers on that last layup
Mike Prada [8:36 PM]:
@agolden miami-okc
Mike Prada [8:35 PM]:
3 fouls on deng. surprised they left him in
| 1 | 0:00 |
| Chicago with Derrick Rose | 15 |
| Chicago without Derrick Rose | 0 |
Kevin Nesgoda [8:34 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman Say what!?
Jeff Clark [8:34 PM]:
@agolden Bulls vs. Thunder (though that may be wishful thinking)
Rodger Sherman [8:33 PM]:
@Tom Lewis *2014 All-Star Andrew Nicholson
agolden [8:33 PM]:
I have Clippers vs Pacers for NBA Finals this year.. what about you guys
Mike Prada [8:31 PM]:
@agolden howdy
agolden [8:31 PM]:
hi
Tom Lewis [8:31 PM]:
Pacers starters throw lethal D at Magic to start 3Q. Of course, Andrew Nicholson still on bench for ORL, so…
Mike Prada [8:30 PM]:
@Paul Flannery unacceptable please start yelling
Paul Flannery [8:29 PM]:
This is a good game and I have nothing to overreact about.
Rodger Sherman [8:28 PM]:
@Mike Prada what does he promise
Mike Prada [8:28 PM]:
eh on those shoes

Mike Prada [8:26 PM]:
bulls are flashing the second big into the high post on all side screen and rolls – taking a page out of indiana
Rodger Sherman [8:26 PM]:
Call me crazy, but I think this Bulls team is better than the Nazr Mohammed-led one the Heat played in the playoffs last year.
Mike Prada [8:25 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman wise lebron needs his own spin-off
Roy Burton [8:24 PM]:
After watching that LeBron commercial, I have to go back to the same life I had when I woke up this morning.
Rodger Sherman [8:24 PM]:
@Mike Prada i wish they would bring back the lebrons
Mike Prada [8:24 PM]:
I wish LeBron would do something edgy in his commercials, like his “what should i do?” one
Kevin Nesgoda [8:22 PM]:
Ugh. As a Maryland guy, this Bulls lineup makes me sick.
Roy Burton [8:22 PM]:
These LeBron commercials almost make him seem human…
Deleran [8:22 PM]:
Chris Bosh is reminding Heat fans why they were trying to trade him with the trade machine during last season.
Mike Prada [8:22 PM]:
lebron golfing>>
Mike Prada [8:20 PM]:
how did rose see boozer there?
Rodger Sherman [8:20 PM]:
Bulls going with their ALL DUKE lineup
Mark Ennis [8:19 PM]:
Heat probably not going to win if they don’t score more than 2 points.
Seth Pollack [8:18 PM]:
@Tom Lewis great point Tom
Mike Prada [8:18 PM]:
carlos boozer playing weirdly-competent help defense
Patrick Harrel [8:17 PM]:
is Mario Chalmers the best player on the floor for the Heat?
Tom Lewis [8:17 PM]:
New delay of game rule should add a couple of minutes to each game.
Mark Ennis [8:17 PM]:
Number of f*cks given by Derrick Rose so far: 0.
Mike Prada [8:16 PM]:
god i missed you derrick rose
Paul Flannery [8:16 PM]:
Marv and Steve is a really good broadcast team. So good you take them for granted.
Mike Prada [8:16 PM]:
Kyle Neubeck [8:15 PM]:
TNT really pulling out all the stops with the bad camera angles, huh?
Kevin Nesgoda [8:15 PM]:
Seth!
Mike Prada [8:15 PM]:
ugh i hate the close-up cam
Seth Pollack [8:15 PM]:
howdy gents
Roy Burton [8:15 PM]:
Disappointed that Boozer didn’t break out the spray paint hair – it is Opening Night, after all…
Tom Lewis [8:14 PM]:
Pretty sure Orlando owners called down to Coach Vaughn to get Andrew Nicholson outta game against Pacers.
ConoverBucks [8:14 PM]:
Not of fan of either of these teams but it’s nice to see Wisconsin represented well with two guys who went to Marquette starting.
Mark Ennis [8:13 PM]:
this Derrick Rose hologram is very realistic
— Lana Boo Berry (@Lana) October 30, 2013
Mike Prada [8:12 PM]:
whoa apparently derrick rose isn’t a bum. who knew
Paul Flannery [8:12 PM]:
Oh hi Derrick Rose.
Kevin Nesgoda [8:11 PM]:
I really think Chicago is going to miss Nate Robinson.
Rodger Sherman [8:11 PM]:
derrick rose’s first turnover in 567 days
Mark Ennis [8:11 PM]:
I grew up in Tampa and have now lived in Louisville for 11 years. Should I try to pick a favorite NBA team?
Mike Prada [8:11 PM]:
d-rose will never be the same. my column:
Mike Prada [8:10 PM]:
@ConoverBucks yeah i’m a fan. didn’t think i would be
Paul Flannery [8:10 PM]:
@Mike Prada You should get points for winning halves like in the old CBA
Drew Garrison [8:10 PM]:
Twitter + SB Nation Live. Ahhhhh
ConoverBucks [8:09 PM]:
Those gold trimmed jerseys are pretty cool.
Roy Burton [8:09 PM]:
The best part about the return of the season? The strange, regional commercials…
Mike Prada [8:09 PM]:
Meanwhile, we’ve reached halftime in Indiana, and Orlando’s up, 44-40. Major blow to the tank effort
Mike Prada [8:08 PM]:
@Mark Ennis he probably knows no other way except to be genuine
Rodger Sherman [8:08 PM]:
@Mike Prada he seemed to say that. he said he thought they’d be the no. 6 team.
Mark Ennis [8:08 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman Heat fans Tweeting at the President “STICK TO POLITICS”
Mark Ennis [8:07 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman lol
Rodger Sherman [8:07 PM]:
@Mark Ennis i hope d-rose responds with “THANKS, OBAMA” and is genuine about it
Mike Prada [8:07 PM]:

Mike Prada [8:05 PM]:
So, seriously, Andrew Nicholson is going to have a big year
Ben Swanson [8:04 PM]:
Mike, I was watching the game and it said there’s another half after this. UGH. Just more proof the NBA season is way too long.
Chris Thorman [8:03 PM]:
Hi guys. I am watching basketball tonight. And I’m excited!
