I don't like to whinge about the quality of free streams because, well, they're free, but seriously why is it that every time you get a laggy stream it shows everything perfectly up until the moment that a player takes a shot or drives to the hoop, then works perfectly again when the players are just jogging back up court or walking into a time out. It just seems like they are built to annoy.

It is seriously uncanny why that happens.

I can think of any technological reason why this happens, but you are 100%

The Hornets have an ugly team. They'll win 40 games based on Chris Paul, but anything above that is a bonus.

2 thoughts regarding the Magic

1. They are the most talented team in the league
2. Ryan Anderson!
3. Check out Matt Barnes' boxscore

If someone has insider, can you post Hollinger's 'All Decline team'?

I think I see 12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 6 steals would I be correct?

Devin Harris is on the all-decline team, but that's all I know.

Damn that's a surprise.

Does he give any reasoning?

 

[magtrev]

Damn that's a surprise.

Does he give any reasoning?

From NetsDaily:

John Hollinger has all sorts of ratings and rankings and teams. His All-Decline team is out Friday and he predicts all sorts of declines: from older players on the way down to “second half sliders”. He puts Devin Harris in that category. While calling Harris “a heck of a player [who] may make the All-Star team again”, Hollinger warns he takes a “pounding” that often leads to injuries…and a second half drop in production.

considering he lasted 1.5 games before getting injured for the 4th time this season .... yeah.

 

[dont bowl there]

Joe is ripping it up so far!

 

[Vegas.]

I noticed Dev didn't play the other day, what's wrong with him at the moment?

Groin injury.

he does get hurt a lot.

 

[Vegas.]

Strained groin

Disappointing. He does get injured alot, but he is pretty damn reckless which is what makes him awesome.

Thabeet fouls out in 11 minutes. Had 4 blocks though.

Holy crap, Zach has 7 assists.

 

[Ytoojae]

what wonder drugs is Zach 'Black Hole' Randolph on today? 7 assists? WTF?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Maybe they were airballed jumpshots that teammates managed to catch and dunk in.

 

[Ytoojae]

Must be it. 1 off his career high

 

[Vegas.]

After the game, Paul pursued Rondo toward the Celtics’ locker room and had to be blocked by Boston assistant coaches.

Interesting. I didn't see it (stream fail), but apparently they got double techs when they tangled under the basket at one point.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Hmmm.

This was from before the game, from a journos twitter

Kendrick Perkins told Chris Mannix of SI that Rajon Rondo said "Chris Paul has the stats that he has because he has the ball in his hands all game."

I was thinking this.

Johhny Flynn needs more minutes.

 

[WALL-e]

Frye jacked 10 3 balls.....
