Can sga ever explode on offense for a big scoring game? Why does he not take 30 shots when his teammates aren’t scoring…I don’t think getting your casual 30 when your team is struggling is gonna work

I know none of y'all care, but it's late here and I had to tell someone. Ha ha


Glad you found them!! Did they come home on their own?


I own two cats and I rather Knicks or Boston win a championship than to loose them and that’s saying much cause I don’t like either franchise :lol: :lol: :lol:

Glad you find them

Luka outweighs him by like 80 lbs dude and he was off balance already.


He initiated contact and threw himself to the ground.

I am with RB34 on this. The only reason it wasn't overturned was because Luka extended the forearm. He keeps that tucked and that is overturned.

If you can block a Chet Holmgren 3pt attempt, you automatically make it to the NBA...lol.

Chet is basically a high level role player. He will never be good enough to be a first option. He needs others around him to feed off of.
