International Superstar Ricky Rubio Returns Tonight

[R-Star]

Really hoping the Pacers can string another win on tonight.

They're finally playing like the team most of us expected them to be this year without Granger.

[Ron]

Clippers taking it to the Bucks midway through the 2nd quarter, going for nine in a row.

[Ron]

Clippers up by 20 at the half in Milwaukee.

[Ron]

Bucks and Clips have set a new NBA record tonight: most tattooed skin by two teams in one game.

Both Griffin and CP3 ejected for not playing along.

[Knicks4life]

Derek Fisher!!!!

[Jace]

Wolves/Mavs going 5 white vs. 5 black down the stretch. Had to point that out.

[Diable]

Clippers starters might not get back in this game, their bench is playing extremely well in this game

[Jace]

Is Kaman hurt right now?

Bledsoe had to leave, hip injury but he's on the bench so maybe not such a big deal. Icing it now.

[Ron]

Clippers almost finished dismantling the Bucks, will go to 17-6 and nine in a row.

Every time the Pistons hit the floor its part of a home-road back-to-back lately. So I'm not at all surprised they seriously faltered late, especially coming off of double-OT. Started the season by playing six west-coast road games plus two home games against OKC and Houston... And now the last six are all back-to-backs with travel days in the middle. On the down side - it sucks for their record, really rough first 1/3 of the season. On the up shot they're not a playoff team yet, they're playing hard nosed basketball, and they will see a better lotto pick because of it.

If they had to deal with this next year, with a team I'm hoping will look like a young playoff squad I'd be mega-frustrated (If JoeD ****s up this off season he'll have finally managed to sign that death certificate - you can **** up big league cap space once, but twice? No one can save you).

What the **** is going on in Charlotte? SERIOUSLY. Byron Mullens is taking almost 5 3pt shot attempts per night. This is a 7'/275 big with decent athleticism that is pretty lights out from the free throw line. And he's camping out on the perimeter launching triples? It'd be one thing if he was making him - but we're almost 1/3 of the way through the season and he's hitting only 28% of them. I can't believe an NBA coach would let him do that. It makes no damn sense. Decent athleticism, 7'/275, hits his free throws - they should be FEEDING him in the post. Just fumbling around trying to dunk he'd get to the line enough to be FAR more efficient than he is on the perimeter. Can somebody sit this boy down?
