    Yep. They'd be better off having Evan Longoria.

    Or Justin Turner.

    (I don't know where I'm going with this)

    i know exactly where you're pointing with this and it's right on the money:

    Turner Network Television, home of Inside the NBA -- also devoid of talent & skills in their trade, and at the same time similarly caustic to their peers and repugnant to their viewers.

    it's all making sense now!

    100% spot on. With CP3, not only do we get 48mins of hall of fame PG play, we allow Harden to rest on the court with CP handling the ball and making plays. This shows up late where they both can be effective. Just HUGE.

    Did anyone else at the game hear the guy screaming at Trevor Ariza the entire game? Every time he got the ball some grey haired dude would scream "SIT DOWN TREVORRRR!" It sounded personal. I think Trev must have boned his wife.

    Timeout Changes

    • Each team will have seven timeouts per game, with no restrictions per half.
    • All team timeouts will be 75 seconds. In the previous format, “full” timeouts were 90 seconds and “20-second” timeouts were 60 seconds. Both “full” and “20-second” timeouts have been replaced by team timeouts.
    • All four periods will have two mandatory timeouts, which will take place after the first stoppage under the seven- and three-minute marks.
    • The under-nine-minute mandatory timeouts in the second and fourth periods will be eliminated.
    • Each team can enter the fourth period with up to four team timeouts.
    • Each team will be limited to two team timeouts after the later of (i) the three-minute mark of the fourth period or (ii) the resumption of play after the second mandatory timeout of the fourth period.
    • Each team will have two team timeouts per overtime period; previously teams had three.

    Yeah and we dropped 125 points on them, including a 40 point dump on their chest in the 4th quarter.

    Thanks so much for the videos and your commentary. It was amazing. My fav was the ankle breaker, I loved the clever entry pass to Nene for the dunk too. James Harden and Chris Paul are a great combo.
