Terrence Ross was -25 today. Kudos to Masai Ujiri for getting more than a bag of hockey pucks and a ham sandwich for this guy.

Big game for the Blazers today, they can take a strangle hold on probably the tightest or second tightest series. I'm more excited for round 2 mind you there should be some dynamite match ups. | ||

Embiid continues to publicly call it "knee tendonitis". LOL. Furthermore, my last post wasn't agreeing or disagreeing. She asked a question about the LA Lakers hiring Ty Lue and i answered it as best i could. As best as I can tell the LA Lakers are continuing the interview process and Ty Lue remains a candidate. Have you found a source that says Ty Lue is getting hired very soon by the Lakers? I have not found one. | ||

Could you perhaps give us your break down of the worst players for every team? Are you a raptors fan? What made you one? It is very interesting that a 3rd string player on the raptors is getting such hate from two sources out of blue. Did he do something that was noticeable? Interesting world we live in. | ||

Holy shit only now did I realize that it was another person and not JJ. Honest mistake. Made me do some digging: - They post one after the other, literally, often echoing on the same topc. - They always agree with each other. - They have the same phrasing and writing style. - They have the same deepity-wooh tone, like when JJ always says hhmmm as a pseudo introspection to appreciate his own post, its funny really! And the other guy, whom I didnt even know existed until this thread, began hounding me four or five times already after I called out JJ on one of his numerous whack posts. I mean I am not jumping into conclusions but the circumstances warrant a closer look. I hate it personally, since my lifelong motto is live and let live, and I always see the goodness in people, even those as glariingly different and comical as JJ. I have come to enjoy his special contribution to the discussion as a flavor of tl/nba, and, despite all his flaws, I dont think JJ would stoop down to that level of pathetic and sad condition in life. Just thinking of him resorting to that is mentally debilitating, and I really hope JJ is not that stupid. Having said that, while JimmiC has the patience to still consider talking to you as a sane endeavor, Im just here to talk nba and enjoy some incidental comedy gold that you bless us all with here. Now, back to NBA: “I just feel that we have to be very careful as a league,” Kerr, a former TNT broadcaster, said of Westbrook’s approach and its potential spread. “We’re in a good place right now. Very popular. Fans love the game, the social dynamic, the fashion. But more than anything they love the connection they feel to the players. I think it’s important for the players to understand that it’s a key dynamic to this league. I don’t think this is a healthy dynamic, for this league, for any player, any team, any local media, any national media.” “It’s all part of the business,” Kerr said. “You’ve got to feed information to the fans. You don’t have to give a great answer, but it’s dangerous when you go down that path of no communication because one of the reasons people like the league right now is we have a lot of great players, really good guys who handle themselves well. So don’t kill that. You’ve got to keep that going. That’s a big part of the business.” “There’s always been this stuff. There’s always been players and media members having issues and maybe non-responses, whatever,” he said. “I don’t think this is brand new, but we’re in an era where there’s 24/7 access, and that access is what’s driven revenue so much and players need to remember that.” -Kerr The thing that drives me nuts with Westbrook is that, while being a douchebag is wrong in all context, he doesnt even have the slightest right to act so. He neither has the skills, the success, nor the personality. He is just a level-1 conceited asshole who thinks he is way better than he actually is. I hope the reporter fights back and asks him next game questions like: "Did you care more about winning or getting a triple double?" or the classic "Did you lose this game or did Portland win it?" Fuck Westbrook! User was temp banned for this post. | ||

And not that it was a fancy name for rest to make sure a player was ready for the playoffs. He was not willing to even risk a short sig bet, or admit that he could possibly be wrong, which makes sense since he never is. We wont have to deal with angry westbrook much longer lillard is.making sure of that. And I bet pg13 is wishing he had made a different choice about now! Like I said, JJ is special in this thread, and although I hate to admit it, itd be a sad place here without JJ. PG would be worse off with Lebron. At least he's getting the attention he deserves in OKC. And I disagree. Technically the bet is still on, and JJ would say the same if you ask him, although with a lot of complications. | ||

@playoffs: Got up tonight to watch the games. Utah really put in the effort. The game also showed how helpless the Rockets become when Capela is off and the 3s don't fall. The 4th quarter basically was CP3 trying to fight the Jazz on his own. | ||
