I remember in college I couldn't wait to play even the last 2 mins. These are NBA stars though its probably different. I'm sure if the score differential wasn't an issue Hali and Tatum would have played.

Joel Embiid needs to be planted on the bench. He can come in when we are up 20.

Embiid is in there for cheap shots lol

Celtics training camp gon be interesting.

Those 0 minutes of tatum could have went to Jaylen Brown i’m not being a conspiracy theorist

 

[rck3sactown]

Jokic built like a mid level manager hooping on his lunch break

Never forget that World Championship Team that KD led. He reminded me of that version today. Had squads running Box and 1 against him and it didn't matter

Theres really a different joy in seeing LeBron hoop in anything but a Lakers Jersey

Love it.

I don’t think there’s anyone more acutely aware of this than Kevin Durant himself.

I wonder what a worse feeling is. Not playing at all in a game or the coach putting you in for the first time with under a minute to play. I remember we had a few dudes in middle school that never played in the games but would get put in with like 15 seconds left and everybody on the floor scrambling to try and stop time before it ran out so they could get in. They would always look so demoralized. Especially the dudes sitting at the table waiting to check in as the time clicks off and they have to start walking back to the bench

Know a dude in a similar situation in high school. They were getting blown out and the coach told him to get in there and make some plays with just under 2 minutes. He walked on the court and said bleep this. And went and sat back down. They played 4 on 5 the rest of the game and the same guy kept being wide open. The terrible, awful coach they had could not figure out why he was always wide open. Don’t blame him for doing that. You got garbage out there starting and want to try me with scraps when the game is already decided.
