Brother, I don’t understand how the Mavs are staying afloat right now.

 

Kings defense is the elixir of life

 

Took him what, 8 years to get one line out like this???

 

Ugh seeing him in gold is so fucking weird

 

Paolo and Franz took 51 of Orlando's 78 total shots. They had 32 and 37, respectively, which is good, but also their offense overall is a mess. I can't believe some dude is drawing a paycheck as the Magic shooting coach. 12/30 from three is shockingly better than their season numbers, but that's not saying much. It's nice having guys who can get their own offense, but they really need a legit PG who can actually set people up. Anthony Black has shown flashes, but I’m still skeptical.

AD Injury Impact, Bold Quotes From Dallas & James Harden Interview

These 3 are generally grumpy old men but good lord did anyone listen to this? The comments on the episode are fantastic lol

 

Last night was a tough watch. Gary Harris is just mind boggling.

 

Wolves had a turkey of a game last night. No points through first 7 minutes

 

Don’t buy this; Nico just trying to backtrack

 

i am so ready to be over the luka discourse. its over. everyone get on with it. sorry 2 the fans.

 

I'm pissed off about it still, especially considering what they're doing at the games now and the stupid shit they're saying in interviews, but I'm well aware there's nothing I can do about it. I do think it's pretty lame that they’re tossing fans from the game for voicing their displeasure.

edited because I was coming across angrier than I actually am. I think seeing Luka play last night was some closure.

 

but, after watching the Laker game last night, when he's 100%, he's going to feast. LeBron and Reaves are gonna have no shortage of great shots. I'll be watching how he does as a fan.

 

i could kind of believe him putting feelers out for giannis and instantly getting shut down. trading luka for AD is a different conversation than trading him for giannis. the Ant bit is just obvious fake news.

 

Yeah it’s hard to keep up when the story has changed almost daily.

 

The Giannis thing was reported the next day iirc, but anything else at this point is a clear attempt to save face lol

 

Tomorrow we're gonna hear how they called on Tatum and Brown or some shit haha

 

I’m pretty sure that was a rumor right after lmao

 

They had all the info on him.
Publicly stated they weren’t concerned.
Williams is currently healthy and has been playing.
They agreed to the deal.
It was announced as being done.
Press releases were made.

I don’t get it. Sets such a bad precedent. Teams can now just change their minds and file it under a vague failed physical.

 

if i can clarify and be more clear, i wasnt specifically saying the actual fans need to get over it, i was more generalizing nba media and Posting™ at large. the fake news smokescreen rumors, the backtracking, the tweets from accounts that arent even reputable that get posted on here.

if the bucks traded giannis for a wet paper towel that couldnt stay healthy i'd be enraged as well

 

nah you're good, that's why I went back and edited. I knew what you meant. Just hate that I have to deal with another shitty front office now, and one that appears to be authoritarian lmao

 

the ghost of david stern strikes again!

 

they got their big!
