[finessence]

Spurs fans gotta thank Marcus Morris for the rebuild.

no. Kawhi is to thank. RC Buford, POP, and Tony Parker f**** it up!!

 

[noblekane]

koala is to blame. if he stayed they would still be contenders

 

[frink85]

Anyone know why clippers/lakers on Christmas is on both ABC and ESPN? I think they did it last year with one game, but why?

 

[Tony $now]

Really wanted to see Waiters play this year. Even if he lied--6 games??! Heat been charging him the max +10 on every penalty.

Not fond of the way they've tried to son JJ/Dion this year. Seriously unnecessary and likely cost Dion whatever potential life his career had left

Dion has been a moron for awhile in Miami if the reports are true. His current status is all on him

 

[MajinZuub]

Would like to see Adebayo get some All Star love

 

[akajae]

Member when akajae was asking for Fultz to retire?

Need that same energy for Lonzo

Lonzo is retired as far as I’m concerned.

Yes it is I believe as Krazy as it sounds not
everybody has the ABC channel

 

[Quincy McCall]

Dude tried to force his way out because he didn't like the rookies playing over him and it backfired on him. Shouldn't of trashed Spo before the season started+the gummy incident and now this, he's not doing anything to help his case and I can't imagine the team wants him in the lo

Dion has been a moron for awhile in Miami if the reports are true. His current status is all on him

He's been a moron, but the punishment he's gotten up to this point has been overkill and exacerbated the situation much more than it needed to be. Wouldn't even be a situation if Heat didn't make a point out of trying him so severely.

Heat's dealt with stuff like this much cleaner and much easier in the past, like Whiteside had done worse in terms of haggling for mins, but rightfully, just received a few fines. Waiters got 10 games for team disruption, which's unreasonable, even if he would have been suspended for substance abuse it would have been maybe half of that or less. And the new charge, I don't fully understand. From the outside, looks like both JJ and Waiters are being dunce'd-- Haven't a clue what to make of JJ being disciplined early on, but it was weird, and he's still not even playing garbage time

i get cord cutters, but it’s weird to think that they don’t get free OTA channels. HD antennas are pretty cheap. There’s still two other games on ABC only though.

 

[HIM]

I gotta say man...ALA membership aside, it has been amazing to see the GOAT run through the league at season 17. People been talmbout his fall for 3/4 seasons now but he’s still out here like he forgot his house keys.

The true GOAT

It’s kinda tough to see mins for JJ with Bam taking another step as a playmaker & Kelly O shooting 42% from 3.

Winslow gets back & Miami is kinda deep, which is absurd since they don’t have a chance at a title. I’d be packaging all those guys up.

That NFL-esque discipline is definitely odd. it’s also killing the trade value of those 2.

 

[addict4sneakers]

The NBA cares, B

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This is the kinda stuff that happens when beta bois that don't hoop get a platform and start gaining influence over how the game is played a la bill Simmons. You need the Barkleys and Shaqs and Pippens of the world to balance out this type of trash baggery. This is almost as bad as saying they need to get rid of charges

 

[BIG FISH]

Surprised AD isn’t up here

Or maybe I don’t understand this stat

 

[HIM]

this one is always jarring to hear. Imagine a game with no charges. Bron would average about 60.

 

[B Sox]

Surprised AD isn’t up here

Or maybe I don’t understand this stat

He's 31st, which seems kind of crazy, but I've only watched a handful of Laker games.

It's defined as the net point differential per 100 offensive and defensive possessions.

Do the lineups with AD and without Bron struggle a bit? Who does he normally play with when Bron isn't on the floor?

Meyers Leonard has been used as a rag against all the top tier teams with mobile front courts, isn't contributing if he's not wide open, and even in those games JJ won't see the floor. In such cases rookie Chris Silva will see the floor, and if he gets 4 fouls in a about 5 mins, Derrick Jones Jr. will slide down to the four.

DJJ just recently played like 30 mins the other night trying to guard Bron and AD, and KP the next night. I think maybe the org doesn't want to look like their being soft on those 2, because of all the hoopla around the league over their contracts-- either way, I don't like it
