Bucks sitting just about everyone in OKC tonight, clearly they are scared. Thunder might be favored by gametime

 

[Moe.]

Also are the Magic running some sort of early bird special tonight? The first quarter is almost over and it’s not even 5 central

Yeah we went to the 8:45pm tipoff Brooklyn game Monday, and now we're watching the 4:30pm tipoff Wednesday game vs the Magic. Very weird. I guess it's 5:30pm ET but still...

New title is horrible.

Now they just need to cut ties with Irving. Seem to be a better team without him.

Harrison Barnes has been truly awful this year. I’m not sure what happened; he looks like he aged 5 years over the course of the offseason.

It was jarring to see him on waivers in my fantasy league. He’s only 30 - so weird

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Suns clown Wolves in MN w/o CP3. Wolves looked awful. Wasn't adding Gobert supposed to help that defense? Woof.

Best part of the game was Book yelling at the Wolves bench "We play team basketball. We share the ball"

Both his last 2 teams have been better w/o him than with him.

One can check the stats if watching/memory fails. His last year with Celtics like wasn't even close. Was a no-brainer for Ainge to have dealt him at the deadline but didn't.

Bucks - OKC 2OT was the craziest game I’ve seen in years. Bud is a magician.

Totally bonkers. I’ve hit my quota for Thunder posts recently so I’m glad you said something. Poku looks like he might be a real player. Sure would be nice if the coach would get consistent with his rotations like every other team in NBA history.

Funny that you responded to this today, because he played great tonight for the first time all season.

NBA should just shut down garbage franchises like Charlotte. Nobody cares and it's just a waste of fuel to make real teams like Portland fly there to pick up a win.

They have so many young players that they really have to figure out who is worth keeping to build around in the long-term. With so many unknowns, Daigneault has to experiment a lot.

They'll turn it around with their veteran leadership

It will be interesting to see how much Utah falls from this excellent winning pace. I don’t want to predict but we’re passed the point of this just being a fluky start.

Add this to why people dislike Lebron. Lebron is upset refs aren't greasing up his love pole like they use too and calling fouls. He then goes to suggest "Maybe I need to Learn to flog". Dude you are first in your class with James Harden in flopping in the NBA. There's a Reason you are called LeFlop and people parodied the Tebowing with LeFlopping when you were MIA. Are you that out of it?

look, i understand some of you hate Lebron but please, for the love of everything, stop with the horrible "Le"whatever nicknames.

they're not funny. not at all. they're just awful.

go ahead and drum up some funny nicknames at least. mock him all you want. but at least be funny about it.

enough "Leflop", "LeGM", etc.

be funny.

man do people have to perform mental gymnastics to dislike lebron james i mean i hate the lakers as much as the next guy but even i have to say lebron is one of the best ever and has done a great job on all fronts take that to the bank brohans

I think for most there's a difference between "hate" and "sports hate". Part of being a sports fan is having "heroes" and "villains". I think it's entreily possible to "hate" LeBron and still acknowledge his greatness. In fact most of the greats are "hated" by a large population of fans. What's the point in hating on some scrub bench player.

I "hate" Tom Brady from an NFL perspective, but he's clearly the greatest QB of all time and I surely take no joy in his divorce or wish any ill will towards him outside of the playing field. Even on the field, I do not want to see him injured, I just want to see him throw interceptions.

hey man this is way too level headed and reasonable for the ffa basketball thread you need to have like three inside sources and need to hate a guy because he did charitable work before we will even consider listening to you take that to the bank brohan

I'm reminded of how reddit has r/nba and r/nbadiscussion to limit the hawt takes

I don't know, but they need to see what they can get for AD. Might not be much, but getting out of that contract looks like a real need at this point. Right now, with like more than 70% of their cap space allocated to James, Davis, and Westbrook, they're dead. Trade James next year.

I saw an interview with Kareem where he said playing in LA was a business decision, but that playing in Milwaukee was a passion. He loved his time in that city.
