that's what i'll be doing. cloud 9.
Thanks for this reminder. I had recorded the game, just watched it. Unapologetic Clark fan here, such a great passer. Don't watch the W otherwise but when I saw the earlier matchup I realized how good the Liberty are, deep loaded team. Great game today, Sabrina and Stewart are really good. CC had an amazing stretch in the first half, Mitchell was great, Boston is solid, the two blondies play solid D. I know most here are NYL fans, I'm a Fever fan but really respect the Liberty. Good basketball, no cheap stuff. Two great games between them so far this season.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

I’d be shocked if Minnesota didn’t get Durant.

Some footage of Giannis training with Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. This is great stuff
Giannis is a really good teacher.

Re: Around the NBA - Conference Finals and Finals
They really needed 3 pt shooting and Bane does provide that with some good volume. They had to pay up but that seems to be the going cost now of good young controllable players.
Do wonder Memphis angle here. They extracted really good value but they obviously don't think they compete right now. Do they move off other pieces?

I dunno how to read that, it could be a rebuild type move or a win now move… KCP is a vet 3&D guy at half the cost and you get a big package of picks you can use on another win now player.

Bane and Mikal netting 4 unprotected 1sts. Welcome to the NBA. Ainge is probably asking for 6 first rounders and 17 swaps for Kessler

I think it’s a bit premature for that label. He just recently turned 32 n it was a first year with a new team plus they lost one of their main guys in Suggs so the team as a whole didn’t do as well overall. I’d give him a mulligan for a down year before writing him off entirely.
