Bradon Jennings is putting on a show from behind the arc tonight. Bucks pulling away from the Heat...

Jennings has been awesome this year. Definitely not the score I expect to see after the Heat put up 40 in the 1st.

This is what happens when you quit competing and think the game is over, momentum is lost.

They're going to fly from Cincinnati to Indy? They could take a bus and get there faster and without all of the travel hassle.

Rumor has it that Lebron was satisfied with the Heat's and his 1st qtr performance and they have no reason to hang their heads about this loss.

You're better than that

Edit: You're actually not better than that

It wouldn't be the first time Lebron said something like that.

Paul Silas is a joke of an offensive basketball coach. Starting Tyrus Thomas at the 3 and running pin down screens for him to come off and shoot jump shots? lol

I hate that these are the only 2 late games tonight. I have no interest in watching either. I watch about 45 seconds of the Blazers/Bobcats and I wanted to slit my wrists.

I hate when games are on this late too. The bucks clips game is awesome though. Too bad I wont be able to finish it. Favors is looking impressive out there tonight.

I don't mind late games, I stay up way too late anyway so I might as well watch them.

It's just tonight's games don't interest me one bit. I would watch the Blazers game if they weren't playing the Bobcats.

The Bobcats btw are one of the worst teams I have seen in a long, long time. I have NO IDEA how they played with the Heat a few weeks ago and should have probably won that game.

They have been trash since DJ Augustin went down and Kemba began starting. Starting Tyrus Thomas at the 3? awful

Best part is, the NBA had the rooms booked up. Then the lock-out happened and some moron gave them up. I was listening to the Pacers broadcast the other night, they were saying they thought someone got fired over it. lol.

Brandon Jennings is an elite PG. The team around him isn't very good though. Fucking Drew Gooden is playing significant minutes for them.

Gooden is playing well in a starting role though, 18 and 9 or something like that.

No he isn't. He shot 36% from the field. He's like Kobe, a chucker.

He's averaging 10/6... Had a solid game against the Heat, but he's nothing special.

You look at the Bucks roster with Bogut hurt and nobody outside of Jennings makes you look twice at anything. They started Shaun Livingston at the 2 tonight.

LOL.

Ignorant.

He's 20/5 this season shooting 44% from the field. He has NOBODY around him. NOBODY.

No I meant those were the numbers he is averaging as a starter, 18 and 9.

We call that a stat padder. Put him on a good team, he'll average 8 and 2.

That what I thought watching the Wizards play earlier this season. They were comically bad. The only Bobcat games I have seen was when they played the Cavs. They stuck around and werent pathetic in those games. Looking at their roster though, probably the worst in the NBA. Almost no talent to speak of. This season seems like they are more bad teams than usual. Nets, Bobcats, Wizards, NOLA are all garbage. Knicks, Raptors, Detroit, Kings, GS are all in the next rung.

Looking at the boxscore from lasts night LAC Jazz game, Ryan Gomes started and played almost 22 min. In that span, no rebounds, no ast, no points and 2 fouls. How is that even possible?
