That's without getting into the impact he's had in other countries (for instance +220% league pass subscription in France compared to last season). I'm sure NBA management will manage to cry themselves to sleep over all the millions they are making by promoting that kid.

KD’s 5th turnover lost the game. Imagine if that was JB.

If that was JB, carrying a bunch of scrubbies, they’d be down double digits in the 4th, not leading by a point with two seconds left. Probably.

Which will all be negated soon enough when the realization of them being a lottery team kicks in.

Bucks out rebounded 50-29 tonight. Ouch.

Miami lose another one.

Don't be surprised if it's #1 Celtics vs. #8 Miami in the 1st round.

Why exactly was Lillard crying to go to the Heat all offseason again?

Because the Heat will be better for Dame's lack of defense.

The other Heat players can cover for Dame's incompetence on D.

Milwaukee on the other hand is not an athletic team, except for Giannis.

Dame's atrocious D will be exposed, just like in today's game against Toronto.

Grant is so perfect for Dallas, good for him.

They look more like a lottery team than the 8th seed. They are 1-3 and the 1 win was a nailbiter against the Pistons.

Jazz beating the crap out of Memphis.

Smart 4 points 4 turnovers so far.

Lopez is going to get abused by KP out on the perimeter and will be more or less worthless. Already looks pretty cooked, as does Middleton.

Denver is also going to take an L. Rooting for a Chicago win then you’re pretty much sweeping the night for best case scenario

Udoka gets his 1st win as Rockets coach.

Now we just need Denver to beat Dallas on Friday and we'll be the sole undefeated team remaining in the NBA.

The East looks really weak all of a sudden.

Oh wait it's possible Chicago could take care of that tonight actually.
