I’d like for those two to get a ring especially AD since Rondo already has one .

I have the clippers winning it all since they are deeper than the Lakers . Lakers gonna need for Kuzma and Dion Waiters to play great for them to win . Last night they did that .
They did play awesome but Lebron was trash until the 4th quarter too and I doubt we will see that again.

I also want to see Memphis/Portland and Bucks/Celtics tonight both great games. Not to mention Dallas and Houston. I like watching both Luka and Harden.

A lot of people may not like him because he kind of took the bag and went to Washington but I’m a big Fultz fan because he was in Philly and the organization messed him up and tried to rush him onto the court with nerve damage and other things going on. I felt bad for him the entire time because I know like Kentucky fans Philly fans are sometimes overbearing and over critical (but I think I also love that part of it) but he’s apparently fixed his jumper and it looked smoother last game and now he has a second chance. I’m really rooting for him tonight.
I was high on Fultz in High School and loved his game . I hate he’s going through what he’s going through in the NBA. I haven’t seen him in the bubble but if you say his jumper looks smoother that’s good news . I had started to lose hope on him .

Yea I did too. He just didn’t have the people around him looking out for his best interests. Philly had terrible leadership in Jerry Colangelo and he thought it would be best for Fultz to play through his nerve damage. Idk if you remember but that’s why his free throws had that terrible hitch in them. He didn’t even know he was doing it his arms and shoulders would just do what they wanted to. It was really sad.

Last night was awesome. Looking forward to today's games, Ja Morant vs. "Dame", then "the Greek Freak" vs. Celtics, followed by Mavs-Rockets (Luka & the Unicorn vs. Harden/Westbrook) in a crucial game for seeding.
Big big day! You a Mavs fan?

Yes, big Mavs Maniac here. It's going to be great watching Luka the next decade and a half. He is far more exciting to watch than Dirk ever was. I'm looking for the Mavs to get up from the #7 seed in these next 8 games, to avoid the Clippers. Then win a first round playoff series, and we're on our way. Luka has a great supporting cast as well, led by Porzingis "the Unicorn".

I do like the game.
I played in high school.
It's been my game my adult life.

However, when the nba bowed down to china and refused to call out human rights violations there, and now attempts to lecture us on "human rights violations" here in the States....no, sir. You kneel during the National Anthem and attempt to disrespect the very flag that provides your freedom of speech, the ability to earn the exhorbitant income nba players earn, etc......no, sir.

I will not support that organization.

Lol... you expect the NBA to be concerned with the Human Rights of an entire totally different country and speak on it (when they may or may not be informed) when those same people and those in their own communities and families are having their Human Rights violated?

Just earn your money and shut up? Lol.

You really can't make this up.

Yeah he might have had the Yips or something. Definitely one of the strangest NBA stories in the history of the NBA. I’ve heard different rumors on it . Not sure what to believe .

Well, which is it? You support globalism and want to help anyone from any country willing to supply
your party with votes. You want America to be the battered women’s shelter of the world. But then to support a Black elitist in order to prove to the world you’re not a racist, you ignore child slavery and aid him in his business while pretending it’s not our problem.

Also, you are a bigot. I thought Lebron was well versed and intelligent? Now you make him sound like a 4 year old who doesn’t know China, his business partner, abused children and adults and has modern day slavery.

You are the definition of woke logic. I can’t wait until America gets sick of you again.

Ja is struggling so far in this one. He may be taken to Dame School today.
Portland has been the team I think has the best chance of making it into the playoffs. That matchup would be one of the toughest 1-8 matchups ever and the Lakers don't have the guys to matchup with Dame and CJ.

Another good game. Ja didn't shoot very well, but he played a lot better in the second half and OT. I would love to see him and De'Aaron Fox go head-to-head, but they don't play each other in these 8 games.

or express my displeasure at the political ideology and political lies being spread by the NBA as we speak that hurt minorities.

I want to like the NBA, but can’t when they are hypocrites of the highest order and lie about social happenings, then paint it all over the court while supporting modern day slavery and child endangerment.

How’s that?

Giannis is innsaneeeeeeee.

but he needs to add more midrange game, that should help him reduce his offensive fouls. Should help freeze the defense more as well.

Luka is noticeably out of shape. Mavs were +9 with Harden on the bench. This is fun. I hope like hell they can finish this bubble thing. This is some of the most entertaining basketball I've ever seen the last couple of days, and it just getting started.

Watching houston, I am thinking...damn AD would be awesome for them.
Its amazing that without Eric Gordon.. its really judt two guards and not much else.. and somehow, its still a team that can win games..

Thats likea mid major that wins its conference with a 6 foot 4 center..
