one of my fav games of all time, i’ve still never seen lebron react this way to anything

7 years ago today, With LeBron sidelined with an injury in a road game vs the Blazers @chrisbosh took over for Miami, CB went deep in his bag, Scored 37 pts and hit the game winner three with 0.5 secs left in the contest. 🔥🔥🐐 pic.twitter.com/eSFMlHVcPd

health cld be a big issue for the nets and this wasnt even one of the guys you worry about

ESPN story on Spencer Dinwiddie, who is scheduled to have surgery on his partially torn ACL next week: https://t.co/H5LwgFUSnP

feel like health would be an issue for a lot of teams that were playing playoff games just 2-3 months ago

nets have kyrie who has never been healthy and kd who is coming off one of the worst injuries

yeah the nets are a franchise taken over by two unlikable and fragile superstars led by a coach who is in his first season coaching at any level, i think it’s a bad playoff alchemy

couple guys behind them in levert and dinwiddie who have ball dominant styles and want shots too

this is silly

Daryl Morey has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for violating anti-tampering rules with this tweet a week ago. I wrote about how the league is implementing its vast new anti-tampering powers on @TheAthleticNBA after the Bucks penalty came down. https://t.co/ycY1AfoVvG pic.twitter.com/EicWfSUUTj

itd be easier just to tax all nba tweets

if u r in management/ownership, u already have the power of the purse, why shd u get free clout too?

imagine mark cuban paying $25,000 every time he wanted to flick his belly button lint on the bird app, amazing

The Cavs are fun in transition. pic.twitter.com/pH4ThU4yIt

Kevin love is hurt again btw

Jokic has 18 assists tonight

ugh that ja injury looked really ugly.

Is Kyle Anderson good now

Concerned about Hartenstein as the backup center... Really forcing things

The Pistons are the strangest NBA team to me, the strangest I’ve experienced

just the roster or the way they play? or the vibes?

gary trent jr have yourself a game

taht ja morant ankle roll was nasty

jokic with a casual 24-12-14 on 62%/43%/73% through 3 games

just the roster or the way they play? or the vibes?

Jokic is better than ever, the physical fitness improvement really jumps out in a lot of ways. More able to contest at the rim, faster off the dribble, just better at everything.

yeah i watched the highlights from that game and he was noticeably active on D

I was gonna post about how trae young is becoming one of the most underrated players in the league, but then noticed some dude on espn calling him the leader of the mvp race after beating the bulls, grizz and pistons

yeah the pendulum definitely swung too far last year, it was his second year and he didn't have enough help around him yet. he'll probably be an MVP candidate soon

let’s wait and see if he can cease being literally the worst defensive player in the NBA before start going that far

He’s playing better than luka so far this season

trae was amazing last year, were ppl really hating on him that much, obvs the defense is awful but he was nuts last year

the thing that cld take him to the next level is just better 3pt shot selection / refining his technique on that part of his game, hes so good at driving and passing theres really no need to be taking all these crazy 3s, and if he is going to take them they shd be more fundamentally sound, same thing as luka actually, both of them should watch a bunch of harden tape and maybe a lil less steph

they both also have the team/coaching issue where they dominate the ball too much, and they were traded for each other, crazy

hawks have really used a lot of high draft picks on guys who are not playmakers

Trae's not a playmaker?

...

or are you just talking about Hunter

trae was amazing last year, were ppl really hating on him that much, obvs the defense is awful but he was nuts last year

so

dame hasnt gotten an mvp is trae gonna be better than him

theres getting an mvp and theres being an mvp candidate

probably not xp

If we’re going off 3 game samples Terry Rozier is in the mvp race

That was kind of the point of my post.

Anyway Hawks are gonna trade Collins sooner or later

he was on a team that was 27 games under .500 lol

he was 20. what’s the track record for 20 year olds who put up his numbers? what’s his floor, kyrie irving?

Anyway Hawks are gonna trade Collins sooner or later

if we're gonna do a three game mvp, i think 29/15/14 kinda wins it

well 29/12/14, but still

he was 20. what’s the track record for 20 year olds who put up his numbers? what’s his floor, kyrie irving?

yeah it's just simply impossible to imagine trae young having a career worse than kyrie irving
