I want him to drag LeBron to another finals.

Everybody will say they got there in spite of a 25yr old who’s one of the most gifted scorers in basketball history because he’s not dominating on defense. They’ll lose 4-1 to Boston and LA will send him to the Bulls for Vuc and Lonzo.

Everybody, huh?

There will be a few who bravely say Luka is good at basketball.

Lakers are hot, but doesn't have anything to do with Luka yet. He looked wiped out there, which is to be expected. Teams will have to figure out how to expose the middle for the Lakers, which the Jazz were content not to do, that's for sure.

Why is it assumed Luka will sign with the Lakers? And of course, AD went down. Literally playing too hard, I called it in the 2nd quarter.

Lakers should get to the Finals. They probably won't but they absolutely should.

Jamal Murray 2 points away from a double nickel tonight.

4th quarter of a back-to-back vs Portland.

Ok guys, it's final.

Jamal Murray got the double-nickel.

55 pts, 5 assists, 4 reb.

Barring some major injuries, they have zero chance to beat OKC or Denver in a 7 game series

Nice to see that CofF can jump in here and give us some bad NBA thoughts like always. Always good to know some things never change

Everyone upset on the Raptors for Tristan Thompson's dunk last night are missing the point. That dunk with 4 seconds left put the total over for the game.

Yeah well, I had Miami +14 when they had a 10 pt lead in the 4th and ended with a push and I was damn lucky to get that.

i didnt find an all star weekend thread. for good reason. I am intrigued by the potential 1 on 1 tournament for next year. What I read said $1M... I would make it $5 or $10M. Add in a 3 v 3 for a big purse too and let the players decide teams.

didn't KD say just cancel it ? That's prolly the best option.

I love Lebron and Comrade Xi (our savior).

Did I? Well I'll say cancel it, just in case.

Durant

Glad KD and KD are on the same page.

well, so much for hopping on the Spurs bandwagon after getting Fox .

i'm back off .

Kinda surprised he hasn't broken in half. Sound like a main vein has though.

It ended Bosh’s career so hopefully not too serious.

What's worrisome is there's unprovoked and provoked clots. This appears to be random. Hopefully, this is like Brandon Ingram and we forget it ever happened.

i'm sure him being out for the year will help w/ the league sucking and all.

He's pretty good. High ceiling if he's durable.

I like the Nets +11.5 against the Sixers tonight. Lot of points considering they have the same record and Brooklyn is 6-4 over last 10 while Philly is 2-8.

_________________

Ok. I'll take Philly. Embiid back, 2nd straight game at home from break. Brooklyn beat them 2 games ago. Russell out.

it's hard to believe that Jamal Murray had a double-nickel 3 weeks ago and STILL nobody gives a shit. NOBODY even noticed.

How is it that Mike's double-nickel is legendary yet nobody gives a shit about Jamal Murray's??

Denver has won 10 out of their last 11 as well as 21 out of their last 28.

I'm confident you'll either see them, the Lakers, Mavs, Warriors, or Timberwolves win the West. OKC needs another guy.

I agree, mostly because OKC blew a 20+ lead in the 4th last night and cost me.

I'm counting out the Mavs but not the Wolves. Nor OKC. They have the best coach in the league.
