No refunds.

They also didn't have to offer him a $158M contract in free agency.

Van Gundy not happy to be at work tonight. He just remained mute through 8 possessions and a timeout ignoring his partner calling his name twice.

God I love him.

The irony of Tim Hardaway Jr being the most useful piece of the trade thus far.

this is kinda sad to be honest

Game is almost unwatchable at this point. There's no distinct personalities in the NBA, in terms of teams. Every team plays the same or tries to play the same. I was big fan of the way the Dan Tony Suns played but it's not the same if everyone is only trying to shoot 3s.

It's funny, in the NFL while teams are leaning towards passing more, you still see a variation. The Ravens, Titans and Niners all like to run the ball more and are successful. I'd like to see different types of success in the NBA.

Yeah. There isn't anything to take away from how the NBA is other than, "more threes, please". Each of the top teams shoots a high volume of 3 point shots. We even had a coach who stated that he doesn't want his players to play in the post (Dallas).

And with the rules discouraging players from playing actual defense or acting human, what is known to many as trash talk is a technical foul. Looking at the ref the wrong way is a technical foul. Reacting to a bad call is a technical foul. Spending 9842567 minutes figuring out if a good hard foul on a player to prevent a dunk or layup is a flagrant 2. The league today is just BS.

And the hardest part is if you're a fan of a trash team (Knicks), all you get to look forward to is seeing minimal improvement from the young guys while other franchises get game-changing players from the luck of the draft or via FA.

I woudnt bank too much on luck of the draft as a reason. I would say other teams' culture and development systems are lightyears ahead compared to the Knicks'.

It is January.

Does he have arthritis in his knee that causes him to miss games when it gets cold?

Saw the second half of the Nuggets game and MPJs defense was actually solid even when his shot wasn't falling and he crashes the boards on both sides

Kid has potential

Kyrie has no love for Jarrett Allen?

So predictably divisive by him.
And I just started feeling bad for the guy.
Really corny of him to go there.

I’m pretty sure the hornets are tanking. Bodes well for our 2nd round pick.

Or Harris or Kurocs?

Cool. We’ll take all 3.

Wait, was Garrett Temple one of the guys he listed?

Kyrie is something else...
