Joel Embiid's participation with the 76ers is to be investigated.

Maybe they should have just done it and kept quiet about it.

Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves are reported to have agreed on a three year, $110 million dollar contract extension.

In preseason? Cmon. A team should be able to not play anyone they want in preseason.

Dang, everyone in this Bucks/76ers game is complaining after every single whistle.

It's weird how the East became more physical than the West. Western Conference teams are all about running and gunning, with some exceptions. Eastern teams are more grindy and methodical now.

This is a blow to the Pelicans. Dejounte Murray is reported to have a fractured left hand.

one game and I didn't see it live because we were doing something but I watched a replay of the Warriors game. Started slow and I know the Blazers suck but man once they turned it on they looked REALLY good. Defense was markedly better and much better depth.

Again one game but Wiggs looked like he got his mojo back.

It's been that way as long as I can remember. Celtics, Pistons, Bulls, etc, have always been bruisers. The Lakers, Suns, Cavs, etc, have always been speed and skill.

It's cyclical, for sure. It's been a while since the East was more physical. Probably going back to the Pistons from the 2000's. Everyone tried playing similar to that in the East.

Love these segments. They show Chuck's overall record in the game at the end, which makes it even funnier.

He's 8-97 all time, which is hilarious for an NBA commentator and proves no one should take his criticism too seriously.
