On Thursday’s live episode of “The Fix,” The Jones discuss all 14 games from last night.
Topics include: Kevin Love’s surprising return, Thabo’s defense on Chris Paul, Miami’s Big Three all clickin’, the poor Wizards’ overtime loss, Paul George turning into Reggie Miller, VC’s fourth quarter, Valanciunas getting key minutes, Reggie Evans becoming the first NBA player to be fined for flopping, tired Lakers, a rejuvenated JO, the Bulls losing streak, this, a new Pargo, and Danny Green’s streak.
All that, plus an exhilarating round of NBA Hedbanz — the quick question game of “Who Am I?”
NOTE: Due to technical problems, audio quality is degraded from 11:11 to 18:18. Sorry.

And, oh, Happy Thanksgiving Day, America. Eat that turkey, drink that gravy.
Anyone else fired up about j-kidd’s 5X5?
They don’t count three-pointers made in the 5X5 game, so, no, not really.
I stand corrected….
Happy turkey day from the states. Now on to the old lakers outplayed by that young kings team
hey guys, whats wrong with the itunes feed?
need my fix on the train in half an hour ;)
Technical problems left and right today. Both on our end, and iTunes.
But we’re working on getting it up there — please hold tight, and consider taking the later bus.
whooa… that was fast! thx
Props for “discussing all 14 games from last night”. I thought that my Bobcats would definitely get snubbed after such an active night of the NBA.
Correction, he tied the record, Nic Batum had 9 threes in a game for the Blazers
Don’t quit your day job man
Correction @Strosh ow that would be Old Man to you..and young man, I’m too close to retirement to quit….I find jobs for people, sounds like you might need one
And Happy Thanksgiving as well!
0/2 on the corrections sir.
Nope, he set a Pacers record, so he didn’t tie with Batum. The NBA record is 12, shared by Donyell Marshall and Kobe Bryant. Dennis “3D” Scott and JR “Earl” Smith both hit 11 in a game.
Darko’s leaving the league and country to take care of a personal matter certainly sounds nefarious given his history of violence, or at least threatening it.
Idea for Darko’s second career: teams covertly hire him to intimidate players who turn lazy after getting big contracts. Suddenly Ilyosova’s energy increases when he starts seeing a tracksuited Darko at every liquor store, Burger King, and bar he goes to.
Jesus your a tool Norbs.
The bloke’s mum is dying.
I’m not sure about his violent past either, do a couple of rants constitute violence?
Nice call mate.
… his mother is fatally ill…
I stand boom roasted. Thank you, sir.
So, do we place the blame for Darko’s career solely on Larry Brown? I say yes.
So, Ilyasova is the new Hedo… then I’m looking forward to Tas’ skits of “Dancin’ ‘Sova”.
Skeets’ is Jerry Sloan called that
Well the longest 3 point streak I could find was Dana Barros with 89: http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pstreak.cgi?request=1&player_id=&year_min=1991&year_max=1996&team_id=&opp_id=&is_playoffs=N&game_location=&is_starter=&c1stat=fg3&c1comp=ge&c1val=1&c2stat=&c2comp=ge&c2val=&c3stat=&c3comp=ge&c3val=&c4stat=&c4comp=ge&c4val=
I need my audio feed!
Over/Under on how many masturbation/magazine jokes Matt can take before he becomes an evil corporate lawyer
you guys should do that game like once a week. like make a segment for it especially on days where there are very few games.

No basketball to follow during the day at work.
I have to actually work.
This is fucked.
I’m yelling Jerry Sloan. At the computer. JERRRRRYYYY SLLLLOOOOOAAAANNN.
Damn it Phil. Get your shit together.
Due to techincal issues and Trey constantly talking about how he’s growing his hair and how it looks I’d give that show a….Katie Middleton…which is the lowest I could think of.
Almost made up for it with the end quote.
Trey referred to Festus Ezeli “Festivus”. Good job man.
the festivus for the rest of us
I am wearing a Linen shirt right now, and most definitely grinnin’.
Linen-The most underrated fabric? The Kyle Lowry of fabrics?
Really lovin the drops in the last few days. Between the I am cow, hear me moo one and droppin some Aussie pride in Steve Irwin in there today, Matty O and Ryan/JD steppin up lately. Lovin it boys
lol, never get tired of Mark Cuban not getting skinny jeans.
Definitely need to make that hedbandz game a permanent part of the show, and go as long as you want, responses were hilarious.
Headbanz was cool! Make it a regular segment for the show, please. :-)
yes, hedbanz needs to become a regular segment…
was that an audio error or some sort of behinds the scenes PTI tribute
is trey too cool to have his headband over his headphones
clipper darell is certainly a PLAYA
next week Matty O should have to play, and of course give him a player
Smallest headband. Not enough stretch.
did the hobbit in the booth lend you his?
a Brian Austin Green reference… nice work Tas
I may be in the minority here, but I think Headbanz needs to be a weekly thing! Also, I like how Tas got BY FAR the hardest one, and he got it super fast, and how Skeets got the easiest one and it took him like 10 minutes!
skeeter had a complete melt-down after his 10 question claim
