Sure, SGA handily outplaying a hobbled Luka who can't even run properly. That's shocking. :lol:

Knees are overrated. Trust me, you don't need em. I am turning 40 this year and I only notice them when I get up from my desk, walk around the house, take out the trash, sneeze. You know. Minor stuff.

Lol maybe find some other hobby dude if these breaks format is "unbearable" to you. You're in for some rude awakening once you find out in a hard way what kind of situation is really unbearable. :lol:


Havent watched games in a few months. Yep, cant be interested if I have no dog in this - Im not rooting for any team or player. Moving away. Cavs will actually be interesting, as I hate Celtics/Tatum.

OKC is giving it to him and to his credit, he’s punishing them. Josh Giddey on the other hand…


Giddey should have been traded before the deadline. He’s clearly the odd man out on this team. But I think on the right team he would be amazing as a glue guy/floor general. For example the Clips if they lost Harden/PG should pursue him.

Jalen back in. Amazing recovery from dislocation, achilles tear and severe ankle sprain. Real Willis Reed stuff there.

The Thunder are not even the worst rebounding team in the NBA this season. Granted the Thunder are a bad rebounding team but the Wizards areworse. Last in opponent rebound (offensive, defensive, and overall) and last in rebounding differential.
