Doesn't work.

Replay suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. Slows the game down so much. 6 of the last 8 minutes of this Zers/Kings game have been the refs standing around a monitor on two different calls. I'm not sure I added enough 'u's there. It's horrible. Football is far more stopped than started already. Baseball is super slow anyway. But this is terrible. Imagine your team is just building some momentum or something...

Getting it right is great. Lord knows I've done more than my share of whining about the refs. But just have some guy in NY figure it out in 5 seconds and tell the refs.

Wiggins is going to be a good player, especially from the lessons he is learning by getting to play in critical situations like when there are 2 seconds left and you are winning by 1. And when the guy you are defending slips and falls and comes up throwing up a prayer, don't leave your feet and take the fake or else you put him on the line.

DeRozan and Rose on the court at the same time is a hoot.

[MrSaigon]

If DeRozan was in a major market...
Hey, remember when he had that sweet, sweet dunk, but lost for lack of a Kia sponsorship and gospel choir?

Derrick Rose is made of glass.

If it's not last, it's first.

The NBA on Friday released the style of the 10 team uniforms that will be worn Christmas Day, and the backs of the jerseys will feature players' first names.

The fronts of the jerseys feature each team's primary logo in the space where the team name or city is usually spelled out.

Adidas has produced the jerseys for fans to buy at retail for $110.

The Christmas Day slate includes the Wizards at Knicks, Thunder at Spurs, Cavaliers at Heat, Lakers at Bulls and Warriors at Clippers.

I am watching the Bulls/Pacers game, and the refs did their absolute best to make this game close down the stretch. This happens ALL of the time in the NBA. I really love the game, but I'm the first to tell you it's just a circus. It's theater as much as sport. It's orchestrated. Not as bad as pro wrestling, but some of that element.

Kind of a joke sometimes.
