So what do you say about the 14-second offensive-rebound shot clock, do you like it?
A bit early to judge but i think i like it.

How many bodies you reckon Quin Snyder keeps in his basement?

Will be in Boston in November for a few days and looking at buying tickets for the Celtics v Raptors game on 16th November at the TD Garden, can someone give me some advice please, I read online to only buy from official sources, the official website are directing me to Ticketmaster where their fees seem very high, stubhub and viagogo are working out cheaper, can someone give some advice please... Thanks in advance.

Outstanding game between the Jazz and Warriors. Jazz look really strong this year and Curry is just Curry.

Personally, if I was traveling in for a special visit I wouldn't take any chances. I'd buy from the team or Ticketmaster.

But a lot of people have pretty good luck with Stubhub and Ace Ticket here. https://www.aceticket.com/

Boss? Ok. How did those playoffs work out last year?

I didn't mind the loss last night. The Celtics have been getting a lot of hype as Eastern Conference winners, so it might help them refocus on how hard they will have to work to attain that goal. Toronto and Philadelphia have the talent to give them a hard run. Solid win by Toronto, congrats.

big fight in Lakers vs Rockets. Looks like Rondo, CP3,Ingram will get severe penalties.

Buggy Eyes Alfredo · « **Reply #5530 on:** October 21, 2018, 06:55:35 am »

Any good views of Rondo getting chin music? Chris Paul is not my favorite but thank you!

Nobody, went after Tucker! Scared, for their likelihood.

Buggy Eyes Alfredo · « **Reply #5534 on:** October 21, 2018, 07:17:37 am »

Ingram is the absolute best at being shite and then getting kicked in the face while the ball travels well outside of the kickball bubble.

Damn, he can jump!!! Unfortunately, that is the height of his impact.

Let's all admit for a second that we wanted him to hit the ref when he confronted

I think majority of neutral fans wanted that. He had it coming for a long time with his antics and flops.

3-0 guys. Every team should pack up and go home, we've got this.

Lakers are in trouble their defensive woes will continue to derail them and I can't see them finishing any higher than a 6th seed before being bounced out in the first round by a Denver, Utah or the Pelicans.

Keita Success · « **Reply #5541 on:** October 21, 2018, 09:33:10 am »

Watched my first full game. Knicks vs Celtics. Tight game. I know most of the celtics talk revolves around Irving, but Tatum is very, very good.

Doc Red · « **Reply #5542 on:** October 21, 2018, 11:35:37 am »

Hope Chris Paul gets a long holiday .
He instigated the melee by putting his hands on Rondo's face. Not sure what he was trying to do, scratch Rondo?
The Ingram shove on Harden at worst was an ejection offence. Obviously the Camby attempt will see him miss a few games.
Tell you what though, I'm liking the Lakers. Seem to stick up for one another.

I am thinking 5 games ban for CP3, 7 fot Rondo and 15 for Ingram. Ingram for not only starting it but for also coming out of nowhere and punching CP3 when he was being held back.

I think Ingram will get the most, I agree. He was the 3rd man in on a fight.

But I think Paul gets more of a punishment than Rondo. Yes Rondo threw the 1st punch, but Paul instigated it by pushing his fingers into Rondo's face. Any person would react to that.

elsewhere · « **Reply #5545 on:** October 21, 2018, 03:18:06 pm »

due to new 14 seconds rule in offensive boards, now we see almost every game ending with 110+ scores for both teams and even 140-150's. I think we may see a 200+ points in a triple overtime.

Looks like Rondo did spit to CP3's face so his penalty will be more severe than I initially thought.

Couple of twats acting like twats. Nothing to see here.

I don't see any video of Rondo spitting though. Houston says yes he did, LA says no. The ref was right there so we'll soon know.

It's the earliest tip off tonight and will be at the least offensive time to UK audiences, so gives them the biggest chance of a half decent audience.

Crazy thing is Cavs were always a lock for the finals and even Hawks were playing ECF vs Cavs just 3 years ago

By the way, only reason to watch that is my main MIP candidate Cedi Osman.

Ah, interesting. He is wearing a mouthguard which can make you dribble a little but that looks a bit excessive.

2 games ban for CP3 ($491,781), 3 for Rondo ($186,207), and 4 for Ingram ($158,817).

Meanwhile Rondo's girlfriend attacked CP3's wife in the stands.

much less than what i expected to be honest. I guess it would have been different if it was Lance and Beasley who did it.

Rockets are a joke D'Antoni won't be in the job much longer if this continues, hope they make the dumb Jimmy Butler trade they are lining up that would be awesome.
