It would be sad to see the Suns move, but I hope Phoenix doesn't cave. Sick and tired of billionaires trying to extort money from taxpayers to fund their toys. They should have learned their lesson when they bent backwards to keep their hockey team, which is still bleeding money.

We supposedly created a gov't for the people, apparently we really created a gov't for corporations so 5ish men can exploit all Americans.

It's such incredibly stupid bull with the flimsiest of economic theory attempts (and failure) to justify plain corruption.

AD and the Pels are choking away their lead. OKC within 2. Guy has scored 40+ in 2 consecutive games and he still might go 0-2.

Julius Randle, who, according to some people on this board, should have been the guy Danny drafted instead of Smart, just bricked 2 free throws and left the door open for OKC to tie or take the lead with 9.7 seconds left.

Julius Randle is, and always will be, a loser. Would never want him on my team.

Golden State looks beatable asf this year. I know they have an extra gear in the offs but If Cousins **** up that teams chemistry a bit, with their lack of a bench we can take those guys.

Yeah. They are 100 percent coasting, but this is also 100 percent the weakest team they have had since KD arrived. Their bench is terrible, they are injury-prone and too many people are overlooking the possibility that Cousins completely throws a wrench into things and makes them worse.

They're still the best team in the league, but it's no longer a case of "oh my God just nuke the NBA because no one is beating this team." Luckily for them, no one in the West looks like they will be able to challenge them. OKC could end up giving them problems in the playoffs if Roberson gets healthy, but I'm not putting my money on the Thunder beating them.

Would you believe OT.

Raptors look like a problem, I must say.

I agree.

The warriors are not repeating folks. This thing is wide open i feel. A good defensive team can trouble the warriors. I feel we are better than the raptors but we have to keep playing good basketball.

Kudos to them, I flat out fell asleep and missed most of the game until the 4th. This game didn't hit my radar much and our OT game was tiring.

They have done pretty well without Kawhi this year, same as Indy in all those games without Oladipo.

I advise people to just ignore the general forum and enjoy the Celtics here....... :nod:

I hope they don't. So tired of those guys and their arrogance. In the first month of the season they were even taking turns having big nights vs. garbage teams. Like Klay for 50 against a bad team, then Curry for 50, then Durant the beta.

I don't even get that much real pleasure watching those dudes play or ever did. F I was even rooting for LEBRON in the finals last year.

Curry is a robot. I have more fun watching Kyrie when he gets hot since Kyrie seems a lot more human. Lets face it, Kyrie can play and talk kinda nuts at times. :lol:

Curry legit dribbles with his mouth guard half out of his damn mouth and then wipes his slobber all over the damn ball.

Klay has no personality, zilch.

Durant is a loser.

Draymond is just pathetic.

Steve Kerr is just the older dude that pretends to coach.

I could go and on and on......don't even mind that Toronto beat them again.
