where the hell is Embiid?? he didnt play yesterday!

Embiid is probably a victim of the CousinsFlu

Loaded up my stream for Embiid and then saw Amir on the floor and I immediately exited.

The Pelican commentator said he was out with back tightness.

Is there anyone even close to Oladipo for MIP? He's been terrific.

Dipo is a top 2 sg in th east and he aint 2 lol

Oladipo really breaking out. Just shows you need some patience and/or a good situation sometimes.

Watched highlights of the Pacers game. With the game winding down in the 4th Oladipo dribbles the clock out and then air balls a lay up, where a teammate gets the board and ties it. I can only imagine how heated this board would be if that was DeRozan.

Dwight is playing really well this season. He's quicker and more dominant than he's been in years.

Boston loss when Ibaka dropped the put back. It was not good.

Can anyone tell me why Bayless is getting major minutes on the sixers. I know TJ is injured but I'm convinced any dleaguer would be a better option than him. Dude is terrible whenever he's on the floor and singlehandedly lost games for them this year.

Why would he do that when you are up by 17 with 17 seconds to go?

I think the unwritten rule is applicable when there's no shot-clock. In this case I don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting to get a turnover.

Il explain.

Few minutes ago Gobert and other had some dunks close to Giannis and Gobertt was talking shiet to him so Giannis took it personally to some extend. As you can see Utah gto their starters in as well till end.

Giannis said after the game that he just didn't want a turnover and that Bucks last possession wouldn't end the shotclock so he went and made a final play.

Personally i believe it was due to Gobert and Jazz ticking him off but it could be that he just did it like he said.

He also clearly starting working harder or differently this summer. His body transformation coupled with the way he's playing speaks volumes

We're no better with Lowry whose known to go down during the course of the season. His minutes are significantly down but let's not push it with Delon out.
