The guy is born in a damn small town that's more of a village, 40 miles from my home. We are all in disbelif overhere at the things he's doing (although I think it has more to do with the league turning into crap then his own quality - but that's another story)....

They need to move Gary Harris, imo.

Preferably to us.

I love his game but he needs to get healthy and stay healthy. OKC and Denver front office have a good relationship but I don’t see a way it could work.

If Davis keeps this up, he might take Durant's spot as the most cringeworthy NBA superstar.

I can't believe its gotten to the point of Russ being blamed for the outcome of an all star game. We have finally arrived at the Russell Westbrook hatred event horizon.

I would assume he's talking about San Antonio.

My "The Spurs and the Lakers will miss the Playoffs" prediction is still going strong.

The way people/LeBron fans talk about James still baffles me. I've never seen anything like it with any other player. One game he "has no bounce", then he's suddenly still the "best player in the league" the very next game. Just massive flip flopping. And always this obsession with his physique.

Seems like the addition of kanter has really helped Portland. Maybe Billy Donovan didn't know what he was talking about

They win 55% of the games when LeBron plays, which would have them in the playoffs if he hadn't missed 18 games. Their record when healthy has been very good. They have had a rough season with injuries. They can still sneak into the playoffs with LAC and SAS apparently trying to miss the playoffs based on recent moves and they could pass Sacramento. If they are healthy and get a young Denver team with no playoff experience in the first round they could still end up in the 2nd round.

He has a -21 +/- in his 4 games with Portland. You can argue is a better all offense no defense big man than Zach Collins or Myles Leonard, but no one who understands the game is going to argue that any of those 3 players are good.
