7 games on TNT and League Pass!

(Sorry if your team is not in the poll. There's a limit of 10 poll options.)

According to the NBA tonight is the kick off of "Rivalry Week."

I'm most exited for the latest chapter of the Suns-Hornets rivalry.

You know LeBron is going to try to drop forty on the Clips tonight, should be a great game!

I'm not sure who's playing for Boston tonight. We seem to have reached the "everyone is banged up and dropping like flies" portion of the season. In any case the Heat always give us a tough game.

MPJ's brother killed someone in a DUI incident, so MPJ will be out for some time.

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

No offense

Bulls can pass Indy in the standings with a win.

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

It's a shame so many of the Celtics guys are out. I wish Hachimura and AD could have played tonight but I think we'll give the Clips a good fight anyway. All four of LeBron, AD, Kawhi and PG have played in a Lakers/Clippers game once since the bubble.

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.

Not to mention that this is the context: "Investigators say Coban Porter ran red light, was speeding at time of crash".

Maybe the Nuggets should donate MPJ's salary (since he is skipping work) to the family of the victims (one killed, one seriously injured).

what would he actually be doing if his mother (got forbid) had just died?
or if his wife in labor? not much he can do there either

lol, some things in life are bigger than basketball
family, for one

in any other job you would also take personal time off, to deal with personal \ family stuff that are of specific kinds..like this one

Who wins?
