It was actually a two-fer...secured the 5th spot and probably retained our second round pick at the same time. It was pretty clear in the 10 minutes that I watched that one team wanted to win and one team was more invested in losing.

Rubio's Rubes!

Dedicate a section not to impoverished 8 year olds... but to crazy 20-somethings with facepaint, kazoos and chants. Only the craziest loudest fans get the free tickets. Milwaukee did it years ago and it was a hit. But I don't know if it's been even tried anywhere else.

I mentioned this before. Lip floated it to his guy. It was rejected. "We already do that." No. No... the Wild do not do anything like this.

In the bad old days of the NBA, someone like Bill Laimbeer would absolutely club him in the forearms and make him physically pay for that B.S. move. I don't normally condone fouls intended to hurt folks, but I might make an exception with Harden.

I hate to say it but I agree. That reminds me of the other night we were playing ball and this guy who is pretty talented was going to the rim and guys were fouling him cause well partly that was all you could do. He started whining about all the fouls and just to play defense. I wasn't playing but I almost told him "well if you didn't bring the ball down nobody would be able to foul you." Also don't play through like 5 fouls call the first or 2nd one and move on instead of just trying to bully people. It reminded me of of your dislike of Harden.

Only game I went to all season.

I didn't choose wisely.

Sorry Abe. Man you have bad luck.

Eh that was an ugly game the good news in Bjelica continued his trying play. I've seen legit NBA teams come out looking like dog poop so I don't take that much from this game. It's disappointing but not going to kill me either.
