The Netflix special is better.

That might be the one I'm thinking of that I haven't finished yet.

Ok, maybe that’s the one I was thinking of anyway

I always thought Artest a worthless thug too, but that special turned me. Under those circumstances, anyone would have reacted, and in the recent interview for the special, he was far more thoughtful and introspective than I was expecting.

That he's now gotten his issues under control is commendable, but he was still a lunatic back then. And still the most hilarious part is that he retaliated against the wrong guy. I remember watching the replay right after it happened and we all started cracking up. :lol:

I watched it in real time too. Freaking fans just meandering around on the floor then the next thing you know they are getting decked by the players. Freaking insane and hilarious.

Trying to outjump Whiteside is cool, but I'd really like to see him try to dunk on Gobert

I watched the "Untold:  Malice at the Palace” doc on Netflix

I thought the best part was how they used the Reggie Miller and Jermaine O’Neal interviews to explain the before, during, and after.  I didn’t think Artest came off looking that good, but the doc mainly blames the Detroit fans who were way out of control.  The one cop who says he didn’t know who Reggie Miller was….  Wtf.  C’mon man.  Also they interview the fan who approached Ron Artest with a closed fist on the court - that has to be one of the dumbest things a fan has ever done at a basketball gsme. 
 

The key moment to Reggie was when Artest laid down on the scorer’s table (seconds before getting hit by the cup of beer).

Starting to become a fan, absolute fearless finisher

Starting? Jerry West was right when he said he would take Ja over Zion

He tried last year, cocked it back and ended up getting blocked. Kid is fearless. 

My son got to talk to his Dad for a bit while they were in DC a few weeks back. He gave my son some great advice and cool he would do that during the game.

Warriors got beat. Steph was weak. 

Yeah the lack of Agent posting anything gave that away - I didn’t even need to pull up the score to know the GS lost.  He’s a front runner

Warriors need a true 5. Do they trust Wiseman or trade him for a Myles Turner?

Suns have the length to switch at every position and put length on Steph gives problems. Bridges looked like an All Defensive Team yesterday. 

 

Lakers stink and ain't getting better. THT, Nunn, and Monk don't know how to play defense. Letting Caruso walk looks dumber by the day.

Continually guys were passing into the post when the defense was 3v1. Something like 25 turnovers, 15 of which fully self-inflicted. Hell you go 33% from the field on those 15 wasted possessions and 10-12 additional points are on the board. Oh well, live and learn.

It's the consequence of relying on so much ball movement to generate offense. Suns were able to cover Steph and take away passing lanes and Warriors had no answer. No one else could create their own shot. Maybe Klay or Wiseman will be the answer. But Suns played half the game without Booker and still did that to the Warriors, and at this point we don't know that Klay will even be as good as Jordan Poole. 

Warriors may just be an overhyped paper tiger. Steph can't keep running like that all year long and Kerr refuses to limit his minutes. Wiggins doesn't care most nights. The entire team except Iggy is scared of big moments.

While I'm still TBD on Wiggins, the back spasms or whatever specifically it is did seem to be a factory with him the other night.

In other news, the Steph drop off means its that much more possible he doesn't break the 3pt record prior to the game in Philly Saturday next week, so there's still hope I can witness it in person! Sadly if it doesn't happen then, he has two more games (one in the Garden) prior to me seeing him again in Boston, so PHI is the only non-injury shot I likely have of being in the building.

A great breakdown on the Warriors. Look at the roster right now they just don't have the talent right now.

Steph wins a ring with this team and even adding Klay then he needs to start being talked about with the great greats of all time. Top 5 ALL Time if he wins this year. 

Still think Myles Turner fixes a a few things but how much do they trust Wiseman

They do have the talent but only if they stay healthy. Suns aren't that much ahead of them. So if, say, Chris Paul isn't healthy in the playoffs, Warriors should be favored. 

It's always all about luck.
