check the resellers market for tickets. season ticket holders may resell their tickets for that game there...

Mikal over Jalen and Julius!

I highly doubt this is anywhere near what the roster will look like.

Brunson is a lock for Los Angeles.

Watch on YouTube

Melo goes in depth about the Tatum situation.

Agreed 100%. Kerr clearly wasn't communicating with him and his role was never defined. Booker had his role laid out and he was excellent because he knew what his job was. What happened with Tatum???

Same thing I was saying. He was 3rd on the depth chart at PF, so no, his mins weren't guaranteed but the guy still could have had a carved out role and whether not he played, he knew where he stood.

Celtics be damned I feel like Kerr did the dude dirty.

Either way this is a good episode where he recounts what happened. I'll never forget that game versus Serbia, ever. That was a once in a life time type of game and Melo had everyone amped up.

I'm interested to see how this plays out

Should hopefully benefit the Knicks

NBA should just get rid of back to back games and ban load management.
All must play unless on IL.

Needs a center even more than we do.

Team USA's bigs are lacking in my opinion

I am just not a fan of Jaren Jackson Jr. I'm sorry.

Anyone seen Vernon 'Mad Max' Maxwell on 520 podcast? That was the funniest 30 minutes I've seen in a long time.

I mean, who starts off a podcast with "What took you n****s so long to get me on this m********er"

I need to follow your lead. This year was the first time I ever used a sick time in ages because I fell and got injured. I have over 160 vacation hours.

I don't know if I'm a workaholic or it's due to being raised by a Caribbean dad who -never- called out sick, but man I feel like I need to load manage.

Eh, who am I kidding. I take one week off and I come back to an inbox full of hell and a million questions. And that's not including my phone being called by my direct reports when they can't figure something out for themselves

Being in leadership kind of sucks.

As I type this from my couch while on a teams call

Load management prevents prostate cancer. Allegedly.

Also worth noting, though the prices for Nets games are much cheaper, the experience is definitely not the same. I'd spring the extra money and go to the Garden and enjoy the atmosphere.
