B-b-but he was good in that one playoff series.


If Gabe doesn't have a breakout game, Lebron stans + media won't spare this dude for a second. DLo was beloved early because he had a few games earlier in the season where he was knocking down hella threes. Fast forward, he leads them against the Grizzlies in the playoffs a few times, got ZERO credit, and was destroyed in the media. Vincent is the perfect dude for this too

That is some lineup the Suns had out there.

Terrence Ross must be really done if they cut him and are giving Eric Gordon minutes and a green light. Yikes.

Refs clearly were told to make sure the Bucks win.

NBA is pretty much unwatchable compared to international basketball, or a league like the NBL. It's not sport - it's choreographed entertainment.

Good lord 6ers fans are insufferable. Unwatchable? Don't watch, problem solved.

If you check my posts you will see that I have no love for this Sixers team - Harden and Embiid on the same court made me want to give up watching the NBA. I've followed the Sixers since I was 5 years old, so will always be a Sixers fan at heart, but I don't enjoy watching them and have no bias towards them.

You must not have watched the game. Go back and watch it as an unbiased basketball fan and then try and tell me that there were not half a dozen wrong calls that ensured Bucks got the win.

Man KD has no lift and simply can't create off the dribble like he use to.

He's lucky he can shoot because he decline would look much worst if he couldn't shoot.

how many pits do refs have to smell a game every time a player comes over protesting a foul with their hands up

In a tie game, Durant is +15 and LeBron is +10. Must the old guys do everything?

Good to see the competitive spirit awaken.


He always had that the difference is he hasn't played with another all-star since LMA left. Despite that he dragged a pretty damn meh roster all things considered to the WCF.


Just because people tend to over look that post season. Dame sucked against Denver that series. CJ basically won that series for us.
I’m a bit tired of how people remember history and how some of these mythologies come to be. Dame was really great in that OKC series but he struggled in the Denver series.
Being a Blazer fan isn't exactly healthy.

I might be in the minority, but I think Grayson Allen can hoop for sure.

Every time I watch Reddish play he looks like a filler you give a jersey to from the crowd. He doesn’t know how to play basketball.

Does anyone know whose jersey Beal is wearing?

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a player rocking a jersey when in street clothes.
