Porzingis out again with flu-like symptoms.

Maybe something's really wrong with KP.

Of course there is something wrong. He should not have played last season after he got sick. I wonder what his doctors think. Wish I could be a fly on the wall. Lots of clearance to keep letting him play through things.

I didn’t know he was out sick. Horrible that he may be still dealing with it. I wish him health!!

Porzingis was diagnosed with POTS. Must suck for someone over 7 feet tall.

I hate that Marcus Smart is on the EFFIN Lakers. Marcus is back to a PLUS defender and the Lakers are beating the opposition by +19.7 (per 100) when Marcus in on the court.

sad day for Celtics fans

Gotta give him time, I just thought he had more alpha in him than he’s shown.

Don't they have him playing PG, which is flat out stupid. Talk about setting a guy up to struggle. I think he'll be great sooner rather than later, but playing him at PG? Dumb.

For the record i'm not making any suggestions of who I would want based on early season's start. Even if Cooper Flagg is doing exactly what he is supposed to. This is more about the star or Super star potential of v j..

VJ looks fantastic. He may well end up better. Time will tell. I'm just saying that I'm not judging Flagg on a few games of being played out of position. VJ is phenomenal, though.

Smart was one of the few Celtics who made it up to northern Maine. Try to focus on him making new friends rather than playing for the Lakers lol.

It would have been considered basketball blasphemy to even suggest this question, but how many people would still definitely take Cooper Flagg over VJ edgecombe now??

I think they want him to be Luka, with defense. One they can also “control.”


I honestly don’t know what they are doing.

He looks good and happy again. Sucks for me… for helping the lakers lol.

Cooper Flagg underwhelming so far.

Kawhi playing hero ball with Miami leading by 1 point and Kawhi forced a side step 3.

It doinked off the rim.

Clippers lose.
