He's shooting a solid .373 in his last 5 and he recorded his first double-double last night. He's not a 4. He's a slow 3.

Terrible fit for this team.

Oh, hi.

He is clearly in a serious ass shooting slump (Ball) because I have watched him play since his Soph year in HS and regardless of his technique etc, he was always a pretty good FT shooter.

EDIT: Nvm at UCLa he only shot 70% from the FT line, thought he'd be better than that.

Shot 55% from the field and 41% from 3 in college though. Prob his dumb ass Dad distracting his ass during games.

Anthony was 4/14 with 5 boards and 0 assists... tough win because they were playing against Indiana and Carmelo.

The Bucks were up 3 late, Kidd had a player intentionally miss a free throw.

When asked why after the game, he said he was concerned about giving up a 4 point play.




Let... that... sink... in...

I really think he didn't answer that correctly. There were 1.4 seconds left in the game when he missed that free throw. The chance of making a full court hail-mary shot is probably less than a half of a percentage. If he makes the free throw, they call a timeout and they get the ball at half court right? Chance to throw it in and tie it up on a set sideline play and the possibility for a foul is much higher as the Bucks are going to defend that shot so they don't go into overtime. The Cavs started the 4th on a 24-7 run to get back into the game. I think it was the right decision, just not worded correctly in his answering the question regarding his decision.

But if he makes it and they are up 4 with 1.4 seconds left then they would not defend the shot and game is over. I am going team Shel here

Big time bias but the Lakers are getting better quickly and have become a fun team to watch regardless of wins and losses. Super young team that gets after it. Plus Kyle Kozma is unreal good on the offensive side of the ball way ahead of schedule. That win over the Rockets last night was bad ass!

I love NBA Christmas. Embiid put on a show and now watching KD cry about every single whistle on GS. I am really looking forward to the OKC/Houston game. Let’s see if this stretch of good basketball by OKC is the real deal

Such a dumb rule.

Lebron obviously fouled, goes to review and reversed today out of bounds on Lebron because they can't review the foul on the replay.

I think Van Gundy was absolutely right. Don’t allow replays of fouls as that is every play but if you are reviewing something else like that play absolutely you should b able to say well he got smacked and it’s a foul. What is the point of replay if you still can’t get it right

But...... I hit my Philly +1.5 earlier, my GS -4.5 and Dwayne Wade over 12.5 cashed so great job NBA.

Now I got Celtics straight up and OKC +2. This could end up a great Christmas
