rockets are fun man

this game *eyeballs emoji*

been some fun games this week

yo lillard is getting ROASTED

yeah man, just walking into the lane for free layups

nice steeal there tho

harden legit could not be stopped at all tonight

blazers offense looked less gross than usual with nurk out

james harden, pretty good

pdx has no shooting outside of their starting back court and a streaky aminu

that's a rough loss for them. got beat 40-19 in the 4th

lower back bruise for covington btw nba should maybe address those concrete/metal steps around the first couple of rows

*myers leonard terrified backpedaling*

Rumor: NBA executives think Rockets have shot at signing LeBron James https://t.co/M5jcJVBls0

never say never, but houston would have to seriously gut their roster to make cap room. i mean, you'd trade eric gordon and ryan anderson (and probably let Ariza go in FA, maybe capela??) in a heartbeat to do it, but they'd be very thin.

also, while researching this, i learned that miami has $144 million in payroll committed in payroll next year WHAT THE FUCK

lebron could take the vets minimum and the rox owner could just venmo him a lil extra on the side.

last year of bosh's deal (26.8m), whiteside (24.4), tyler johnson's extension kicks in (19.1), dragic (18.1), james johnson (14.4), dion (12.7), kelly o (11.1), josh richardson's extension kicks in (9.1)

someone should check on riles cuz the man's sick

xp

prediction: lebron will play the rest of his career in cleveland

the heat are def overpaying for a lot of players but Bosh wont hit their cap fyi

yeah i figured, but even without it theyre over the cap and stuck with a bottom half of the east playoffs ceiling

a bunch of players that kinda are who they are and wont be getting any better. i do they think theyre underachieving this year so far. they have a run in them. whiteside has to get healthy tho.

btw the plucky pistons ran into a tough part of their schedule and now theyre on a 6-game losing streak, woof. 4 of those in a row were by an average of 4 points.

theres been a lot of regressing to the mean the last 10-15 games.

i am here for the bron/harden/paul superteam

no way wade doesnt get in on that as well.

the banana boat will happen

hello friends

aw

the cavs dont have a single defender now who can stick with a fast guard. theyre best hope at the moment is jr and oladipo was blowing past him with ease. doesnt help that there is also no rim protector on their roster

yeah their backcourt is insanely bad defensively, and IT hasnt even played yet

they really need to find a trade

their best future prob looks like IT crowder and thompson regaining form and a trade for a guard who can defend the 1 and 2 well
