Should Kawhi even be playing now? Didn't Clippers circumvent salary cap to sign him? If you're Giannis does a max deal and a $500 million endorsement from Carnival Cruise lines get you to sign with the Heat?

Wait what?
I’m don’t follow the NBA most offseasons, so are you saying the Clippers circumvented salary to sign Kawhi?
In a good or in a bad way?

Google it. It was on ESPN and a ton of sites that cover the NBA. Allegedly Clippers gave Kawhi a no-show endorsement deal with a fake company to pay him over the allowable salary cap amount. He's still playing so who knows if there's any truth to it or if the NBA even cares.

It's most likely true. It was reported that uncle dennis asked for the same no show endorsement from 3 other teams in return fir signing. He also asked for team shares.

There's a lot of baggage with team kawhi that still isn't worth it at this stage of his career. The injuries, optional practices, his own medical team, trainers, personal arena space, etc...

Why, because he stat-padded in a 30 point blowout? Guy didn't start scoring until we took our foot off the gas.


He scored a lot of points when Wiggins and Adebayo got benched.
But he remains a big player

Man I got a 120 hz tv and it’s so amazing. Picture quality and screen size obviously matters, but that 120 hz refresh is the next big leap.

How long has it been since palmiing was called? 20 years ago? Why is it illegal?

The start was Allen Iverson. He'd do a half palm thing and they'd let him get away with it because it was entertaining and the league needed a replacement for Jordan. But it got progressively sillier and sillier, to the point that now you can literally have your entire palm under the ball for half a second and not get called.
Palming!? We talking about palming!? Not a game. Not a game. Not a game. We talking about palming! :lol:

Pace was 106 which is at our average.

Our 2 most used line ups. I think fontecchio got the call because pelle was injured.

Starters + herro = 14 minutes
Starters + font = 11 minutes

Powell and herro only logged 14 minutes together. They were pretty good statistically.
Both herro and powell do not see the floor unless they are accompanied by Davion or dru.

Powell 32 mins
W/ Davion 32 minutes

Herro 29 mins
W/ Davion 14
W/Dru 15

Was it $1,500 at Best Buy lol? I was just looking at one the other day, but I’m probably going to buy a new house in the near future so I figure I better hold off so I don’t have to move it

Looks like the Heat went BTA. Good for morale after the Detroit game. Also looks like Spo is pretty set on Wiggins and Davion in the SL. It worked last night, and as long as it continues to without us going on an extended losing streak my guess is this is what he'll do.

On the bright side, it doesn't hurt to get them used to playing together (Davion, Herro, Powell).

I just really cannot stand that it's coming at the expense of Ware. Wiggins over Ware?!? Why is he so against Bam at 4? He is finally becoming a real threat offensively, looks like he hit 5 threes last night. I don't get it, but I #trustinSpo

Sissy floater only +12 when every starter above +30, -16 for the overrated beanpole and -2 in 1 minute for $62Mil. Still dominated.

I think Spo is just dead set on small ball regardless of the long term cost. We’re @DAL and @ORL, the latter of whom we lost to opening night largely because Spo wouldn’t play Ware down the stretch while Wendell Carter Jr. was ripping us a new a-hole. These next two games will be especially telling to me.

I’m cool with the current starting lineup provided Ware closes and/or plays 30-35 mpg.
