JJ definitely clowning Luka for missing that shot for 50. Immaculate vibes.

Through two games the Blazers have 23 steals (Wesley and Thybulle have 9 of them off the bench).

Kash Patel needs to open an investigation on the Lakers, they must have won Luka in one of those Billups poker games.

Looks like the unction course corrected. Harden with a big game.

Luka really might win MVP this year if the Lakers can stay anywhere near the top of the West... or the hoarde of Lebron fanboys finally hop off his nuts.

Suns once again getting manhandled by a bigger physical team.

New owner new GM same old problems.

Dude plays 4 point guards for 7-11 min each and complains about being short-handed at the position. Maybe give one or two of them more of a run :noway:

I am convinced Simons won't be a Celtic after the trade deadline. Very limited player.

Will be interesting what he brings back in a trade again if they can move him.

But even at this age, this team run by Jrue looks a billion times better than they did with Simons at any point.

Jrue is the ultimate professional and a true leader and will do wonders for the culture at The Blazers.

Still annoyed we had to trade cause of the CBA and luxury tax apron, but i will still root for him and I have always had a soft spot for The Blazers.

We (Celtics) are definitely at least one big man short this season, wonder if Simons will be part of a trade to get another quality defensive/rebounding big.

in-shape luka is #1. Keep it up luka nothing can stop you except yourself

This Clipper performance is not fooling me. That Utah loss was so abominable, they are being put in the Cleveland Cavaliers category all year. Anything they do in the regular season means nothing (to me). I will be picking against them come playoff time and they'll have to just prove me wrong.

A win against the Suns is fools gold.

Teams know they can just play physical and wear out the Suns and force Phoenix to beat them from 3 because they have no way to reliably score inside the paint.

Considering what just happened in Portland, Jrue (and Dame I’m sure too) is worth his weight in gold (or Bitcoin) to this lockerroom.

I don’t even care how much he makes the next 3 years, you’ve **** earned every cent Jrue.

This post-game content from the Prime broadcast is excellent. I appreciate them not treating the audience like we are stupid, I think any young folks who are watching it will learn a lot.

I like this by Kidd. It feels like he's actually being passive aggressive to Nico after just getting extended. This is an all time great point guard who was coaching another one and is now being asked to play the #1 pick at point guard even though he isn't a point guard. Considering this is also the last first round pick the Mavs control in the 2020s being bad right now might be in their long term interest too

Though seriously, why did they even sign D Lo if they didn't intend to use him?

Anthony Edwards so far this season got 72 points and made 8 of 16 downtowners

Luka is probably playing best basketball of his life, but Lakers still simply lack talent to be more than fringe playoff team.

I don't know about you guys, but to me Victor is must watch tv now.
Zion dunks on him early on, and oh boy, he took it personal. Blocked him 3 times by halftime.

Dallas simply has to change starting 5 and implement 1 actual guard capable of handling ball. Their starting 5 commited 20 TOs on 13 assists. That's just brutal. Worst thing is, they don't even have any actual benefits of playing this big.

Who wins?
