I'm assuming Mavs-Wizards is a "rivalry" game because of Kristaps but he's not playing tonight lol. "Week to week" with a sprained ankle. Which seems like a pretty pessimistic timeline on a sprained ankle but what do I know.

Are all these games meant to be rivalry games?

Nuggets/Sixers as a rivalry? meh. And I guess the Warriors/Raptors one is a "finals rematch" but that was years ago lol.

Indy's relative success has basically been a Halibruton carry job
without him they've been a bottom feeder, other minor injuries as well - The Bulls win this most likely, pretty comfortably

Yeah the Haliburton / Sabonis trade has honestly worked out great for both teams. People will debate the winner of every trade but both players are having the best year of their careers.

Eh, I don't think there's anyone debating the winner of the Gobert trade. :lol:

This lakers team is playing well. I have a feeling it’ll be a pickem game. 50-50. With AD and Rui in the future the lakers will be good.

NAH

Clippers kill us every time. Except for 2020 i think we were 2-1 against them. But PG always steps up against the Lakers that bitch.

that is a serious blow for the Nuggets
regardless of missed games, basketball just became 2nd priority for MPJ for the forseeable future..

what would MPJ actually be doing to help the situation by being out? he can provide bail money but him closer to his brother doesn't help with anything legally speaking. sorry for sounding like a douche but for a regular job my boss wouldn't let me miss work for this.

My boss would let me skip work if someone like this happened to me, even though the law doesn't oblige him to do so.

You're not American are you? You seem to be under the delusion that worker's rights are a thing

I'll take it. Kristaps has destroyed us every time we've seen him since
