I really wish Gallinari was more aggressive, he never looks for his own shot and hes one of the best shooters on the team

Headed to OT. Andre Miller almost won the game in the last minute all by himself. Not the shot you want at the end though...not from him especially.

The 76'ers are really impressive so far this year their bench is very productive. They have over 50 pts from them tonight. Turner with a double-double 20/11

Ugh, I was trying to post about the Wiz and Thunder but my computer is ghey.

That game should not have been nearly as close as it was down the stretch. Wiz went 1-6 from the line from 2:20 to about a min left. 4 from McGee and 1 from Young(who is shooting basically 100%).

This is pathetic from the Wiz.

KD will hit a 3 and then they will win by 10 in OT.

Dre Miller gets the best of his former squad. Was never a huge fan of his game, but damn, he's building an incredible career. Still very good for his age...

And the Wiz win.

That is a TERRIBLE loss for OKC. I know it means basically nothing in the NBA, but that is turrible.

1-12 just beat 12-2. I think OKC looked past the Wiz.

Knicks are going to lose again also. At home, to a bad Suns team.

Durant, Westbrook and Harden took 58 of their 77 shots, they have to find more balance on offense. They basically have 3 guys who score the ball.

SA and the Magic in OT, a lot of close games tonight except the Celts and Raptors.

Yeah the Knicks have been a disappointment so far. Chandler can't cover up for the poor defense that Melo and Amare play night in and night out.

Still 4 min left in the Knicks/Suns, but the Knicks aren't good.

The Knicks defense hasn't been awful bad as a team but there shot selection and FG% are terrible. They do not share the ball well.

Why I consistently leave them out of my top 10 and probably top 15 players in the league.

I agree, the ball sticks too much in Melo and Amare's hands and neither of them are good play makers. Similar to how much the ball stuck in Melo's hands in Denver and when they traded him they actually got better last year.

The Wizards are almost must watch basket ball for me. They're hilariously bad to watch. The post game comments are always gold.
