Possibly - The Warriors tip off 3 hours later tonight at home vs. Charlotte. One suspects the streaming capability and bandwidth are better in the Warriors’ Chase Center locker room than out here in suburbia. Quote
SluSignGuy Posted February 26 Posted February 26 This looks like it will be a high quality broadcast Quote
SluSignGuy Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I could be brainfarting but is the knee brace for Avila new? Quote
billikenbill Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Jimerson 0-3 from the arc. Our O accomplishing nothing against them except to launch threes. Bailey looks like a problem. Quote
