Unbelievable, not even hiding it. Basically a homer for the blue bloods. What a clown.

Motley unleashed the dragon on this half, impressive. Nba half for him. Manu kept mason out of the game, he scored once on him just before halftime but wasn t able to connect more since manu is in beast def mode.

Beside his early to, i like al too tonight!
Manu is so underrated defensively. He's been putting the LOCKS on the good PGs in the conference (except Carter at WVU).

I'm a little torn on the zone. We seem to create turnovers and force bad shots half the time, but we give up wide open corner 3s the other half of the time.

he's a tool (Dickie V). Retweeting all that nonsense about the 52 rapes also. And nary a word about the rapes and assaults from the KU basketball team. Joker.

Gonna be one-sided foul calls again. How was the first foul a shooting foul? He was passing off

Acuil broke the golden rule of big men. Don't bring the ball down where the little people can get it.
