Respect you running off the cliff (not looking down) because you're excited about the Mavs, but the moment you really believe in Kyrie as a leader is the exact time you start to plummet back down to terra firma. Then the Acme anvil gets dropped on your head. Kyrie's already shown what type of...

Embiid can't just fall down and grab a rebound. The Suns have the big names, but that team build makes no sense in combination. Big new governor energy in Phoenix struck the franchise hard, and it's only going to get worse.

AD being down on the ground on offense 4-5 times a game hurts his team a lot. Tough to vote him DPOY when his team is facing 4 on 5's that many times because of him. Welcome to the party pal. :diehard:

The Process = Paperwork The only tangible thing that comes from filing a grievance is keeping your most rabid fans debating everything but what the team did wrong in a loss. Says more about the organizational leadership behind the scenes than anything else. See also: Daryl Morey's Rockets in...

Yes. Embiid and Brunson are the two biggest grifters in the NBA right now. 😄 Murray is a 16 game player. 💰 Ditto with Jokic. He put up 25+ pts, 20+ reb, and 10+ assists for the fourth time in a playoff game. That's half of them in NBA history. 👀 Wilt had 2, Kareem 1, and Dave Cowens 1

Overpaid offensive big that has an injury history and plays with questionable defense? I'd argue any of those other players listed would immediately improve the Timberwolves straight up vs having KAT. Bad news: Jason Kidd is still the Mavericks head coach. Good news: James Harden only gets...

That would have made sense. The NBA is running from MLB's Thursday night dominance.

Gotta say rockaction, that's disappointing to hear. Sadly, it appears this is more and more the norm. BTW - To illustrate this concept I've heard the blind men and the elephant example more and more in various meetings of late. Hopefully another parable emerges soon or this one may enter...

Congrats ChiefD. :hifive: Made the same decision years and years ago with sports. When people quote the latest Hott take by the usual suspects ...I simply move on. Who cares what non-sense those attention-seeking sock puppets have to yammer on about today? I vote against them by ignoring their...

It appears the Atlanta Hawks and Trae Young have finally reached the "irreconcilable differences" stage of their relationship.

Chef's kiss. Then there's this Chris Paul quote post game, “I’m grateful that I got a chance to be here with these guys. Me and Steph were already connected. Me and Dray definitely got a real connection now. And somebody I’m grateful that I really got a chance to know is Klay.” I'm = 2 I = 2...

Best guesses: Klay signs with Orlando. Draymond traded. Steph and the kids restart. Hell of a run for the Warriors.

Now add those up and you're on to something.

According to the NBA, the top 10 most-viewed players on NBA social and digital media platforms for 2023-24 regular season were: 1) LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers): 1.9B views 2) Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors): 1.7B views 3) Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs): 1.3B views 4) Luka...
