Yeah Terry is coming off the bench for the Bucks, which is a good spot for him as a veteran.

And Terry proves how 'good' Dirk is at his age, because Terry has been dire since he played for Brooklyn in 13/14.

But at the same time, I never even realized Jamal Crawford is 37, he's been crazy consistent. Arguably the greatest bench player ever. Jamal has been 32 years old for the past 5 years.

New York beating Cleveland is awesome.

Somehow, I forgot about Isaiah. I'd put him in over Stockton, but barely.

Moses Malone should probably be on my list somewhere too. He was an absolute beast.

Pistons beat the Wattiors, never saw that coming.

VC, Manu, JET, Dirk, J-Craw are the five oldest players in the NBA right now.

Of those, only Dirk and VC debuted in 98. JET debuted in 99, Crawford in 00, and Manu in 03

Manu's been playing professionaly since the mid-90's, though, just not in the NBA. Think he started in Europe in like 96 or 97?

Who hasn’t beat the Warriors this season? It’s the in thing.

Hard to see anybody stopping the inevitable Finals matchup of Pistons-Grizzlies from happening.

Yeah, now that we got Anthony Tolliver back, look out.

Don't be ridiculous.

...Detroit ain't getting by Orlando. They are just too damn good.

Aaron Gordon = MVP, baybay.

Jahlil Okafor has requested a buyout or trade from the 76ers.

Apparently he's been denied a buy out, with the 76ers refusing to just give him away for free.

Watching my first Bulls game of the year and I don't recognize any of these dudes. Grim times in Chicago  

[Pooker]

Great game tonight between the Jazz and the Blazers. Donovon Mitchell played out of his mind, as did Rubio. Lillard as fun as always to watch

 But, man, the Blazers announcers are total 100% homers.

Cavaliers lost again last night. Their defense is atrocious and thus far the Wade acquisition has seemingly made them worse. Super curious what they do, if anything, to fix these glaring problems.

It's really just a massive mentality issue with the Cavs (and the Warriors, too, to a lesser extent). They're coasting, they're not taking the October/November games serious, and they feel as long as they get into the playoffs they're gonna be fine. Which is very true, if also extremely sad about the state of those two teams in comparison to the rest of the league.

So yeah, they're half-assing it in a terrible way and the presence of Tyronn Lue isn't fixing anything. He's a terrible coach who has been getting away with being terrible because LeBron and Co. are running the show, but now they actually need a good coach who can light a fire, and his complete incompetence is extremely obvious.

But still, they are a lock for the finals even if they half-ass themselves to an 8th seed.

It's almost as if they're paid by the team!

[Benjamin]

Yeah man, those Jazz commentators are super unbiased. They know who their fans are!

[Pooker]

The Jazz commentators are idiots. Ron Boone has been out of touch for twenty years and Matt Harpring shouldn't be allowed anywhere close to a microphone. Some of the things Harpring says during a game is John Madden-like. And don't get me started on the studio guys. But they can admit when the Jazz do something wrong or commit a foul. Most announcers I've listen to can. Yea, they're all biased but most aren't scared to admit their teams aren't perfect.

But not the Blazers announcers. They're horrible.

I am glad I get to hear the magic of Steve Buckhantz on Wizards broadcasts.
