The C's look bad now, but be careful what you wish for. Lots of time before the playoffs and C's are playoff tested and could be a tough match up if they figure it out.man i really hope the C's can turn up their game and make these playoffs. find a way to play the Sixers in the 1st round please
maybe. in all honesty i would like to see them match up in the playoffs against the Nets. Tatum is a shell of his former self defensively, but if he can light a fire where ever he needs it, i think the C's are one of the teams that can match up pretty good defensively against Nets big 3.The C's look bad now, but be careful what you wish for.

Blake Griffin is what he is - we all knew that things would end up like this as soon as we traded for him. And there are two things that he has in the plus column for Pistons fans:How are Piston fans not filing a lawsuit for fraud against Blake Griffin? From what i understand, he had not dunked this decade in a Pistons uniform, but his first basket back in the "spotlight" was a jam and last nite he was bouncing like a kid and showtiming and shuckin, jivin', be-boppin' & scattin' all over the Pellies. i guess a mere $450,000 of Michigander moolah every time he laced up (or didn't) wasnt enough of a reason...
now, i'm screwed - i dont watch LeBron teams until the finals cuz he's such a pompous ### and, just as i got over enough of my Kyrie hate to be able to enjoy three all-time chukkers playing together, they add an insurmountable disgustifiaction. maybe i should just quit
I posted this a few pages back. Blake was good for the Pistons until injuries. The dunk thing is overblown. Yes it was 2 years or 40ish games for Blake. A lot while playing hurt.How are Piston fans not filing a lawsuit for fraud against Blake Griffin?

It's pretty bad. Lakers/Nets final would be great for star power but it would be hard to cheer for either team. Anything but that and I'm good.How are Piston fans not filing a lawsuit for fraud against Blake Griffin?

if they can find a way to get past this powerhouse T-Wolves team they may have a chance to even make the playoffsJayrod said:Celtics will likely go get that 4 seed. They needed TT & Fornier back for depth vs. Philly. That was also Robert Williams first go at Embiid as a starter...he'll learn from it and be better next time.
Kind of funny looking back at the online reaction to the Kings signing Lavine to that “ridiculous” offer sheet, and the even dumber Bulls deciding to match. In Sacramento everyone was furious that it signaled that Vlade wasn’t sufficiently committed to Buddy Hield. A good reminder that us online pundits don’t always know what we’re talking about.Zach LaVine with 39 points in the first half. Unbelievable performance.
I'd love to see the Nuggets just win the whole thing. Really, anybody but the Lakers or Nets would make me happy (I may not watch if its those 2 in the Finals), but I love watching Jokic so much.Nuggets with 8 straight wins, last three without Murray. Still undefeated with Gordon. Jokic with 26/13/14. I think there is a fair chance that the Nuggets slide up to the 2nd seed over the next 20 games - they are currently a game behind LAC (they play later in the season to decide the season series) and 2.5 games back of the Suns (Nuggets own the tie breaker).
The longer Davis and LeBron are out, the less likely I see them as serious contenders. After being off for a month or two, players don't always come back 100%.I'd love to see the Nuggets just win the whole thing. Really, anybody but the Lakers or Nets would make me happy (I may not watch if its those 2 in the Finals), but I love watching Jokic so much.
Just in time to trade Edwards and start the next rebuild!!!Wolves to Seattle by 2025.
Saw somebody casually mention this on Twitter. Is this a real thing?Wolves to Seattle by 2025.
Supposedly around $1.5 Billion price tag per WojSaw somebody casually mention this on Twitter. Is this a real thing?
Get out.Just in time to trade Edwards and start the next rebuild!!!
Supposebly Taylor is going to write it into the contract that they can't move the team, and I haven't heard anything remotely concrete about them wanting to move the team, and they've said they don't have any plans to move the team, all which points directly to them moving the team.Saw somebody casually mention this on Twitter. Is this a real thing?
I thought you might be okay with this. Ever since you said you wanted KAT gone he is been a man on a mission. Your reverse jinx game is strong.Get out.
1.49 billionWait...the Minnesota Timberwolves went for 1.5 BILLION??!! What are the NFL teams worth?
Not sure if there is a more recent sale than the Carolina Panthers 3 years ago for 2.2 BillionWait...the Minnesota Timberwolves went for 1.5 BILLION??!! What are the NFL teams worth?
Seems about right. The T-Wolves are one of the elite franchises in the NBA.Not sure if there is a more recent sale than the Carolina Panthers 3 years ago for 2.2 Billion
Didn’t Arod already flee Seattle once?Wolves to Seattle by 2025.
you sound like ESPN and the NBA media these days. Guys check box scores, and how many points and then talk all about it. If NBA switched to a 1:1 league, Tatum would be top 10. i just don't know how much he makes his teammates/team betterTatum with 53, but I’d rather have Oubre.
I don't know for sure either, but it's a good bit more than Kelly Freaking Oubre.you sound like ESPN and the NBA media these days.

i the Lakers (tonight). Sixers only chance to get to the Finals is if they can get that 1st seedThe Brooklyn Nets floor. My god.
yes, my post that Oubre is better was wrong. However, if i was starting a new team i either would take Tatum and 4 other specific pieces around him to build a one-dimensional team, or i would take Oubre as my 4th or 5th guy and have more tools in the toolboxI don't know for sure either, but it's a good bit more than Kelly Freaking Oubre.
This floor along with the Lakers wearing blue is pretty cringe. The NBA needs to get off my lawn.The Brooklyn Nets floor. My god.
Whoa, I actually was going to put that in my post, WTF Lakers???, but I forgot.This floor along with the Lakers wearing blue is pretty cringe. The NBA needs to get off my lawn.

In this week’s podcast, @JMon348 and I will do a deep dive into . . .
What about Mike Smrek?Not Wilt, not Kareem, not Shaq, not Kwame Brown or Chuck Nevitt.
Andre Drummond joins Bob McAdoo as the only Lakers to ever have at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in 22 minutes or less.
Good one. I almost added the great Mark Landsberger to my list.What about Mike Smrek?
Yeah. I get that it is really like a throwback for them, but when I see blue on white with LA I think Clippers.Whoa, I actually was going to put that in my post, WTF Lakers???, but I forgot.
Yeah I don't care for most of Brooklyn's alternates this year. I wish they could just recycle designs from previous years, because nothing's going to top their Biggie unis from 2019 IMO. Everyone loved those.Yeah. I get that it is really like a throwback for them, but when I see blue on white with LA I think Clippers.
I like that the NBA let's teams do alternate jerseys (earlier Miami Vice, Mint Charlotte, and sunset Jazz have all been beautiful), but just think a lot of these teams have run out of good ideas having to do a new one each year. And don't get me started on these "Earned" uniforms where you have buffoonery like a gold Heat jersey.
It’s so bad. I can’t even identify half these teams when I flip on the tv. It’s one thing to have an alternate or two but some of these teams have a dozens outfits. It’s ridiculous. Get off my lawn.Yeah. I get that it is really like a throwback for them, but when I see blue on white with LA I think Clippers.

It wasn't as record breaking weird as this, but Talen Horton Tucker somehow had 11 assists last night, more than twice as much as any other Laker.Not Wilt, not Kareem, not Shaq, not Kwame Brown or Chuck Nevitt.

I watched BOS-DEN today. Nuggets were up by roughly 15 points late in the third and 10 minutes later they were down 15. Yes, a 30 point swing in about 10 minutes. They completely fell apart. Got outscored 31-8 at home in the 4th. It was . . . shocking, like they just quit.Nuggets with 8 straight wins, last three without Murray. Still undefeated with Gordon. Jokic with 26/13/14.
