LeBron losing in spectacular fashion is a nice consolation prize.

The brain dead Lakers always reappear.

Couldn’t believe that shot selection in OT, right after Russ made that first bucket.

Russ scoring those first two buckets was the worst thing that could have happened.

Watching TNT postgame. Both Chuck and Shaq favor the Bucks over the Celtics. No coverage of the Draymond incident.

Then watching the Suns highlights, getting smacked by Houston. That fan base will take the 2-0 Finals lead to their graves. Will be like the 1982 Brewers out there.

Holy ****.

On his shin? Unless he has a multiple fracture from a car crash, I dunno what it could be.

Or is DET just seriously tanking this year?

Its stress fractures or more intense shin splints. Assumes he's been playing through the pain for awhile and its gone too far. Only way to heal is to basically stop putting impact on them.

but they're talking about surgery, not rest.

Looking at Boston's upcoming schedule vs. ours, extremely likely that they will maintain that #1 spot for awhile. Just have to try and stay within striking distance to hopefully make a move down the road.

Games of interest tonight:

Warriors at Pacers - Pacers have faded but let's see how the Warriors do on a B2B road game.

Hawks at Magic - Hawks have faded as well, going 3-7 in their last 10. Magic have been playing well, winning 3 straight.

Cavs/Mavs - Cavs have cooled off, going 5-5 in their last 10. Mavs also 5-5.

Yo where did that ref abscond with Darrell Walker? Snatched him up like a father taking an unruly toddler out of Target.

Laimbeer sets a solid legal screen on Stockton who tries to cleanly navigate it, possibly the wildest part of the entire clip.

Even if he was being sarcastic, kind of amazed that Embiid's comments about "Philly fans wanna trade me" aren't getting plastered on every sports talk show and message board. Oh wait, probably because his name isn't Giannis and he doesn't have an entire network of national media trying to push him out of a small-market...

Forgot Klay doesn't play B2B. And Curry is quesitonable.

Just reminds me again of how much I loved Chuck Daly. Malone would've killed him obviously, but Chuck would've died trying.

Speaking of Chucks. Barkley is just the absolute best:

We were the last team to beat the Magic. They played decent that night, and still aren't healthy.

If they ever get healthy, they'll be a real team. Add Suggs and Carter to that team and they finally have some depth. Grayson would fit them nicely.

Let's run with it here at least.

So Embiid demands a trade.

What happens next?

What teams would put in the best offer if he were to hit the market?
