Really, oladipo choked that game away. How do you get an 8 sec violation at the end of the game like that? He missed the shot prior to that too, I think they were up 4 at the time. They were up 6 under a minute IIRC.

LeBron James defended his recent comments about playing with Anthony Davis by saying "I play by the rules".

When told that his comments upset several small-market general managers, James responded, "So? What'd I do? What did I do? Was it right or wrong?"

James then listed off other players he'd like to play with, starting with Kevin Durant. He added "ask me if I'd like to play with Jimmy Butler. Say it right now. Ask me about Kyrie Irving, Giannis [Antetokounmpo]. Ask me about [Joel] Embiid, Ben Simmons. Go ahead, all of them. Luka Doncic. Ask me right now. Come on, guys, this is not rocket science. These are great players...I would love to play with a lot of great players..."

James said he wasn't surprised by the attention his comments received, stating "anything I say will generate something".

I NEED HELP ! MY TEAM SUCKS !

In that article, Davis basically also says that he doesn't care about supermax.

The writing was pretty much on the wall since he signed Rich Paul. Hopefully the Pels are spiteful enough to freeze out the Lakers so they can’t get him until he’s a FA and Lebron is in his 17th season at age 36.

If Hayward can return to anything close to PG's current form...man oh man, that would be something else. Dude is playing at an MVP level.

We wish. I predicted Gordie's gonna be our 2nd best player come playoff time. It's still months away, but that prediction isn't so hot right now.
PG was younger when he had his injury. Ankle wasn't also involved I believe.

PG is just a better player than Hayward injury or not. But PG also wasn't playing timid, scared basketball when he came back. He was able to get over the mental hurdle a lot quicker than Hayward, who is flat out shook right now.

Crazy lines in today's Wizards/Suns game, including Thomas Bryant posting 31/13 on 14-14 shooting.

Yeah, i remember PG played very well at the start of his first season after injury. He was very agressive, totally opposite of Hayward, and he lead his team to decent regular season record. PG is just an exception, we can't underestimate the severity of that injury, most people never come back to their best after that, good for him.

I hate Lebron as much as the next person but our record is almost exactly the same as the Lakers. And we're playing in what is still the JV conference.
