Ehhhh guys if it was Dirk that passed Kareem, I'm gonna go ahead and say I would like to see the same. It's really not a big deal to stop the game in the broader scheme of things. A record that stood for 40 years with many not thinking it could be broken? It just ain't that deep to hate on stopping the game.

For all that, I'm glad the Lakers lost, too. lol

Scoobay · 02-09-2023, 12:54 AM

Cam Thomas - another 40 pt game
damn 20 FT attempts? who is this guy?

BPo001 · 02-09-2023, 10:17 PM

This Lebron speech before the Lakers game is cringey.

Scoobay · 02-10-2023, 11:23 PM

how are the raptors so bad?

their starting 5 has 4 players we'd all love to have - vanvleet, trent, barnes, siakam... pretty damn good team there but they stink this year.

Scoobay · 02-16-2023, 12:26 AM

Mikal with 45 tonight... happy for him and would be nice for the suns to implode and lose out on bridges taking the next step

BPo001 · 02-18-2023, 05:20 PM

Ben Golliver: Suns? Kevin Durant says trade requests are ?great for the league? despite criticism: ?Teams have been trading players and making acquisitions for a long time. Now a player can dictate where he wants to go, leave in free agency or demand a trade, it?s just part of the game now.? ? via Twitter BenGolliver

Guy will say anything to try and defend his legacy. Guy has all the talent in the world, but it really makes you appreciate guys who do it the right way.

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-24-2023, 09:22 PM

Dodo a whopping -27 so far. Luka really made these types of guys better.

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-25-2023, 09:30 AM

LMAO Kings 176, Clippers 175. If that isn't evidence that defense is no longer a thing in the NBA, then I don't know what else to say.

Clippers we?re up 145-131 at the 3:58 mark

Teams up 14 with fewer than 4min won 99.7% of the time

Clips found a way to lose it

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-25-2023, 10:59 AM

Doesn't surprise me. League is now all about who gets hot and when. Good news is that I still believe any team can win this year because of that.

ESPN Sources: Orlando Magic F Jonathan Isaac underwent season-ending surgery today to repair a torn left adductor muscle. Brutal setback for Isaac, 25, who played only 11 games this season after missing two years with a torn ACL. An MRI revealed the adductor injury on Wednesday.

Feel bad for the kid. He was a guy I wanted out of the draft too, but can?t stay healthy unfortunately.

tap2390 · 03-04-2023, 02:20 PM

Isaac will be fine. He's getting that Uncle Tom Daily Wire money.

DevinHarriswillstart · 03-04-2023, 03:02 PM

Ja Morant might be the dumbest player in the league. My god. What a tortured life he must live to know that he isn't true ghetto.

EricaLubarsky · 03-05-2023, 10:32 AM

Likely going to be 25-50 game suspension when the dust settles.

That 6 spot suddenly doesn?t look too bad, assuming the Kings overtake them

IMO that's not happening.

He absolutely should be suspended for at least the rest of the reason. Sounds like he might have taken the gun in the team plane too. Guy is a fucking idiot. Group up middle class, makes more money than he can dream of, and is about to kiss it all away because he wants to be hood all the sudden.

tap2390 · 03-07-2023, 07:15 PM

I completely agree it should happen -- for Ja's benefit as much as anything -- but IMO it's not happening.

Not just Mavs that think the refs are ass

EricaLubarsky · 04-09-2023, 03:47 PM

Gobert just decked his own teammate Anderson

EricaLubarsky · 04-09-2023, 06:18 PM

And McDaniels broke his hand punching a wall

Wolves

BPo001 · 04-11-2023, 11:30 PM

Minnesota is just trying to give this game away.

EricaLubarsky · 04-11-2023, 11:33 PM

Minny is such garbage

Anthony Edwards is the worst

I?m still cheering for them because F the Lakers

EricaLubarsky · 04-11-2023, 11:34 PM

Ha! Lakers don?t want it either

Edwards looks scared to shoot. KAT too

BPo001 · 04-11-2023, 11:41 PM

Lol Brow. What a fucking idiot

BPo001 · 04-11-2023, 11:43 PM

Conley clutch FT. Lol Anthony Davis

EricaLubarsky · 04-11-2023, 11:48 PM

God the NBA is so unwatchable this year.

It?s not just the Mavs that have an awful rhythm and no excitement

EricaLubarsky · 04-11-2023, 11:55 PM

This game just keeps getting worse

This Lakers team has been and is ass to watch. Edwards was awful and might have entered overrated for me if not already. Sucks as it would have been sweet to dunk on Lakers fans on Twitter. I've got a standing statement (not bet since they don't like to put money where their mouth is) that Lakers are at best a 1st round exit. Delusional fans.

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-17-2023, 10:52 PM

100% rooting for the Kings to win it all.

fun to watch too, them or nuggets are teams im rooting for in the west.

saclare · 04-18-2023, 10:57 AM

I can get behind the Kings.

Any thoughts on Draymond? I get where he's coming from on the obvious grabbing at his legs (didn't see the prior game referenced). But that does not excuse the force of the stomp he retaliated with. I don't buy the off-balance theory, either.

Sabonis foolish to grab at other players lower extremities but did not deserve that.

DevinHarriswillstart · 04-18-2023, 11:18 AM

I've wanted Draymond on the Mavericks for years. No player gets under another team's skin like he does.

We so badly need to erase our soft image.

I feel like neither the foot grab nor step was that bad. Players love to sell things.

EricaLubarsky · 04-18-2023, 12:51 PM

Kings are my new favorite team.

I love how they play and F the Warriors.

Personally thought he was covering up his head and didnt see draymond as draymond was behind him when he fell.

Lets not forget game 1 (for the people who watched) where Draymond fell and stayed sitting on Sabonis, then got up and made a point to "fall" back onto Sabonis so he couldnt get up for the fast break.

Also Draymond a few games ago straight up kicking Herb Jones when they got tangled up on the floor.

Its too bad there's no enforcers for his garbage dirty plays. I really dont know why people are giving him a pass because of Sabonis unintentionally getting ahold of his leg for a split second. Sabonis rarely complains and was getting shoved all night. The other guy punches his teammate with a haymaker and faced zero consequences.

Once Draymond leaves the Warriors, he would not have near the impact on another team that doesnt have Curry and Klay, Id rather not have him on the team.

A Dray trade would remind me of when we got Doug Christie: great player on another team who probably wouldn't be as good here and who is past their prime.
