The Jazz did opj dirty.

Sounds like he didnt offer enough back in terms of the buyout for the Jazz to play ball

Veterans will take notice of this. Or more likely, agencies will. Stupid strategy by Ainge tbh, but maybe he's already acknowledging that stars wont come there in free agency anyways

Didn't see this coming.

Welp scratch what I said... I guess there was more at play there

Bring him back for 1 game and let him retire a Warrior!

Kings look good. They've slumped a lot, but they tend to beat teams they should beat or teams better than them.

Tristan Vukcevic just signed with the Wizards. This kid could give TJD a run for his money as the steal of the 2nd round.

It's funny how they're marketing Steph vs. LeBron as two legends who appreciate each other so much.

During the Finals runs, they weren't so cordial. In fact one of the times the Warriors beat the Cavs, Bron walked off the court, not shaking hands.

Ironic thing is, these two teams could be headed for the play-in clash again, with only one team having a chance to try to make the playoffs.

Will they be so cordial after that game?

Bucks really went out west and lost to all the play in teams and continue it at home. What a fraud team.

Watch on YouTube

Lebron really hates the warriors. He really telling everyone how to defend us. Like yo we're already dead

Jalen Green was a 34% 3-point shooter through his first 2 seasons and over half of this season.

Now he's shooting 46% in the last 10 games, all of which the Rockets have won.

Heard that some assistant helped him rebuild his shot DURING the season.

They have to hire that guy away for Wiggins, Podz, JK and Moody.

Like offering him big stacks of money. But his name is Ivey, who I think was a former UT player so his home is probably TX.

Ironically, they have the guy. His name is Steve Kerr. They have him doing something else instead. Analytics or holistic mental health, or whatnot.

Wiggins has also been shooting pretty much just as well as Green over a longer timeframe.

This Sunday we need to beat the Spurs and have the Mavericks beat the Rockets for some more separation. Would love the Jazz to beat the Kings too.

Malik Monk is out for the Kings 4-6 weeks.

Sad new for Sacramento fans. No Huerter and now no Monk. Bench fire power is gone.

Does anyone know the most wins for a 10th and/or 11th seed in the western conference? I understand it was basically pointless for a team below 9th to try and get wins late in the season before the play-in became a thing. I remember the warriors finishing a season in 9th with 48 wins. There's a decent chance either and/or both HOU and GSW finish the season with 44+ wins and that seems very high for an 11 seed.

the first one (ofc, it's steph) no whisle.
but then you see that ****.
literally wtf
and the travelling is so blatant that every comment is superflous.
worst officiating category ever. and that clown of silver is still there.

OKC with the 12th pick would be huge for the Thunder. They already have a bright future and using one of their picks to most likely get LBJ would be huge.

LBJ would push for this too to get his 5th ring with the Thunder.

I used to feel bad for Bronny given the expectations on his head, but declaring just so he can be drafted purely because of nepotism is so weak

Would've respected him if he stayed in college and improved his game like Pippen jr did

He's keeping his eligibility, but if a GM says they're taking him im sure he will stay in the draft.

I could also care less about nepotism in this case. Every draft theres a ton of busts and a ton of undrafted guys who end up making the league. So even though he may be taking some kids 'spot' because of his dad I dont think it matters. I do think he could be a solid NBA player down the line - is he ready next season? no, but ESPN will eat up the father/son storyline every second. :lol:
