Wow just saw a Ricky Rubio adidas commercial...that was amazingly odd

"Ricky Rubio a international icon...." oh brother lol

I think the Raptors lead the league in crushing losses. The Wizards aren't far behind.

I think they lost like 6 games by 2 or less points

Yeah today marks their 6th loss in this fashion. They put the graphic up during the game and all I could do was

Who else in the league does this? Recognizes the pass, breaks it up, dribbles the length of the floor, goes between someone's legs and then finishes at the basket.

Anyone know why LaMarcus Aldridge didn't play today? Dude cost me the matchup in my fantasy league

Bargnani sucks- 4 pts on 2-19 shooting.
Dudes on here were calling him a poor man's dirk, but this guy is nowhere close. Dude makes his team worse with his poor shooting decisions

 

[xkrispyeli]

The bench reaction was priceless.

I hope Barnes continues to get better with each game. The Warriors really need him.

 

[bandman]

Went to the Raptors/Spurs game earlier. First time seeing the Spurs live and they didn't disappoint, Raptors could have sneaked a win if they had a closer. Bargnani was shooting bricks yet they still continued to run plays through him

Matt Bonner got huge ovations every time he got subbed in

That play should have never counted. Pretty sure you can't touch the ball, go outta bounds, come back in and touch the ball again (without anyone else touching it).

Isn't that only in football?

 

[miamin2]

^He had to step in bounds with both of his feet before he could touch the ball again, which it looked like he did

 

[pmatic]

Ryan Anderson is automatic.

 

[ballinsam23]

Isn't it the same as saving the ball from going out of bounds, then coming back in and touching it?

Initially I agreed with you, but after scouring the nba's offical rulebook page on nba.com, it really makes no mention of this type of play explicitly making it illegal. Yes it is the same as saving it in bounds to yourself and coming in and touching it but again, apparently that is legal

http://www.nba.com/2009/news/features/01/01/bernie.ask.bernie.20090101/index.html

This involves a shot instead of a save though but still being the last to touch it in bounds, stepping out, then coming back and being the first

Player A1 makes a driving shot attempt, and his momentum carries him out-of-bounds. The attempt is missed, and the ball becomes loose. Is player A1 allowed to grab the ball if he re-establishes one foot (but not both feet) in-bounds, or must he re-establish both feet in-bounds before touching the ball?

Bernie's Answer: The player may established himself on the court with one foot in-bounds and then touch the ball (of course, the other foot cannot be out-of-bounds). This means the player may not jump from out-of-bounds, grab the ball while he has both feet in the air, and then land in-bounds -- that would be an out-of-bounds violation.

But here is the section on out of bounds

Knicks @ Nets tomorrow on TNT. Been waiting for this for awhile. I'm glad we're playing this after 12 games instead of the season opener. Both teams have some momentum, both teams are playing good basketball, for the first time in awhile both teams are really talented.

It's almost a pipedream but I really hope that Knick fans don't invade Barclays

Either way, I'm not worried. The Nets are going to destroy the Knicks. No one can hold the Nets backcourt and Brook will get Tyson in foul trouble.

The slander will be glorious.

What's up with Evan Turner putting in work lately?

Jrue with a career high 33 and 13 assists tonight.

Evan has been inspired by Nick Young's dedication and desire to win. It's contagious!
