So Kevin Porter Jr goes to a strip club, violates NBA Covid protocols, gets fined then drops 50 points and 11 assists. Looks like the Rockets found their Harden replacement.

tendon injuries are the worst... even slightly worse than ligament injuries.
surgeons can use a tendon to replace a ligament but not vice versa.

this is the same tendon Oladipo ruptured a few years ago.

Anyone else think its shitty how they didn't let the absolutely historic 2020 HOF class breathe for a beat before announcing 2021?

Yeah, and a odd marketing choice, usually they like to spread things out to keep the league in the news. It would be like doing the draft lottery right after the championship game.

Yup. I wasn't paying close attention and it confused me. Took me a while to realize the different news stories were about two different classes. 2020 class is so much better than 2021 the HoF should've let the 2020 class have the news to themselves for a while.

surprised they would honor a fan at the HOF, there's gotta be some other famous fans in the past, wonder why they decided to do it now. i remember there's a famous clippers fan, and i guess spike lee would be a famous fan as well

1st in the east sure matter this year sixers get probably wizards the winner of Knicks hawks.

Nets get probably Celtics then winner of bucks heat and bucks get the heat and then the nets (unless massive upset)

That is my point sixers get a freebie and then alt/Knicks so much easier than nets with freebie and then the bucks, or the bucks that to make it to the finals will 3 hard teams.

To me bucks will end up playing the 3 hardest teams in the playoffs, nets 2 and sixers just have 1.

Golden State really throwing it away with unforced turnovers (and some forced ones).

And referee clownworld has appeared in the 4th with an obvious LBJ block having to be overturned on review, and 3 other obvious Laker's fouls at the rim not being called, including 2 classics by JVG saying "how is that not a foul".

LBJ back in, but they are playing him as rim protection and its getting savaged by Curry floaters

LAL flopping is out of control and getting rewarded.

Lebron is going to have a fine acting career when he finally retires from basketball. I mean... that was just like Sea Biscuit. Except LBJ is 100 lbs heavier, a foot taller, isn't riding on a horse.. and his eye sight is just fine.

I was thinking some paramedics could run out and defibrillate his heart while he was getting eye drops.

Theatrics aside, LBJ played great.

oladipo is basically when bet on yourself (or maybe some ppl would see it as being greedy) goes wrong. or maybe he was on a lot of drugs when offered extensions from the pacers/rockets.

He bet on himself years ago and flopped a straight-flush. he then engaged in "fancy play syndrome" and didn't get full value. he should've been raising on every street... instead he was dicking around trying to psyche out his opponents hoping to do some check-raising. Unfortunately, everyone at the table checked. So I do not think Oladipo bet on himself ... and lost. He just did not win as big as he could have.

In a culture that has become a contest of victimhood credentials ... it it is pretty cool how far reaching and transcending the catch phrase "bet on yourself" has become.

In this case it means instead of taking the offered 3 years at big dollars he wanted to get the 5 years at bigger dollars and instead will likely get a 1 year prove it.

There was someone on here trying to give below average NBA starter Andrew Wiggins some kind of exotic nickname. After watching Wiggins' attention to detail and intensity during the two play-in games I think he deserves the nickname of old timer baseball slugging superstar Reggie Jackson.

As coach Kerr noted...Great season and games by Green and Curry. These guys are championship calibre players who put an extreme amount of effort and intensity into their craft. They almost managed to will a really crappy team into the playoffs. Kerr considers this season a success. I concur. This season was a success for the Warriors... they almost made the playoffs and proved they were one of the top 20 teams in the NBA! They just got beat by a better team.
