Lebron's got three titles. If he wins a fourth while aging (waves at Tom Brady), the media will make a darling out of him again. Attention spans are short these days.

[verb_to_trust]

LeBron is on a minutes restriction chucking bricks trying to stat pad. What an embarrassment this season has been for him.

Rose closed nicely for Wolves tonight

I want Philly vs Boston in the first round so bad. Fuck em.

We lost an hour on an 11am tip and Drummond's shoulders are looking pretty smooth. That's surprising.

I actually watched the 3rd quarter of that game. Blake looked good.

GOOD JOB WARRIORS

[Monkey_Driven]

Tanking for the 27th pick.

John Collins went for 33 and had 20 boards last night. That's the first time that's happened for the Hawks since 1993 with Kevin Willis.


The state of Georgia might as well be the Sahara Desert of basketball, but at least Collins and Trae Young etc are fun to watch.

I find it somewhat humorous that James Dolan continues to ban fans who ask him to sell. I'd imagine the banned fans feel better off.

[verb_to_trust]

If John Collins had a cooler name people would pay more attention to him. Dude is good. Zion to the Hawks would create a real powder keg down there.

STEVE KERR HATES DRAYMOND AND KD HAS ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR STICK A FORK IN EM THE WARRIORS ARE DONE OVER FINITO

[verb_to_trust]

Truthfully, the warriors are just a Steph injury away from 2nd round exit.

Truthfully, the warriors are just a Steph injury away from 2nd round exit.

That's always been true. But that doesn't really mean anything. You could say that about literally every team. Of course the Warriors are the only team that could conceivably be able to absorb that loss and still win.

You realize if KD leaves the Warriors we can go back to a world of talking about basketball and matchups and strategy instead of free agency, salary cap implications, and tanking strategy???

[Monkey_Driven]

I'm like 92.67 percent sure KD is leaving.

[4/5]

I'm like 92.67 percent sure KD is leaving.

Agreed. I'm really looking forward to not knowing who is going to win the championship (barring injury) before the season starts.

Inb4 KD leaves and Kawhi signs with the Warriors.

[Monkey_Driven]

This recent bout of Warrior malaise has me slightly concerned, but I think they're just messing around trying shit with Cousins and trying to get him going and happy. There will be a series or two where he can't play much and his reaction to it will define their chemistry for the playoffs. Wouldn't surprise me to see another Draymond/KD tiff either.

Hate to break it to you but the toothpaste is not getting back into the tube at this point. All this player movement and drama drives interest. It's what fans want.

Yeah, that's what people want to see.

It's fine as a side dish. It's sugary junk food and I like it too sometimes. I just want the main dish back, that's all.

So I should have said "instead of JUST free agency..."
