@dtgold88 @lebron23james

if the Cavs get the #2 pick they should def. take Barrett,

but if they get #3 they should take Morant without a doubt (as long as Barrett or Zion are not there of course).

WE def. dont need a point guard with Sexton but the Cavs made this mistake once before when they took Waiters over Lillard.

You take the elite talent in the NBA

if the #4 guy was close to Morant--- if Reddish was playing great- then it would be a debate.

but its clear there are 3 elite players in this draft.

1. Zion
2. Barrett
3. Morant

I sure hope the Cavs get one of them.

Sexton is such a hard worker- and he has a ton of talent. A guy like that is gonna be able to fix his weaknesses.

Its amazing what he has done with his 3 pt shooting in his age 19/20 season.

It will be fun to watch this kid continue to progress the next few years.

OKC up 14 on Utah heading to the 4th.

A quarter away from going 8-0 against Utah and Portland this year. Pretty damn impressive

Almost inevitable after yesterday.

Why can't anyone give credit to the other team in a loss? Why all the excuses?

Did I do that right, @bksballer89 ?

for sure.....Johhny Fly....erggg. Colin Sexton played a really nice game. The guy has shown a lot of really nice improvement over the course of the year. Cedi aint bad either.

"No play signifies Sexton’s growth quite like the one midway through the third quarter.

With 5:47 remaining, Sexton chased down a rebound and sprinted ahead. Using his blinding speed, a signature trait coming out of Alabama, Sexton charged forward against a trio of Raptors that were trying to get back in transition. Instead of attacking all of the at once, thinking about scoring first and getting to the rim, Sexton paused near the free-throw line, surveyed the situation quickly and tossed the ball to a trailing Kevin Love for a 3-pointer that pushed Cleveland’s lead to 11 points.

“That’s where you hope that he eventually gets to, that you see him in those situations time and time again and he’s making the right decision time and time again,” Drew said."

The Jazz have struggled against the Thunder this year. I really hope that the Jazz don't play the Thunder in the playoffs.

This guy ibaka is a clown.

I would suspend him 15 games just for being a retard and starting a fight for no reason

I'd go the opposite. I'd actually give him a bonus for actually throwing a punch. Forget that it didn't land. For the first time in forever, we got a real fight!

Celtics vs. Clippers - Game Recap - March 11, 2019 - ESPN

LOS ANGELES -- Lou Williams scored 34 points and became the NBA's career leader in points off the bench as the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Boston Celtics 140-115 on Monday night for their fifth straight win.

Williams came into the game needing 28 points to pass Dell Curry, who had 11,147 points when not starting. Williams surpassed Curry with 9:53 remaining in the fourth quarter with a driving layup.

It is also Williams' 29th career game with 30 or more points. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, starters and reserves were tracked in box scores beginning with the 1970-71 season.

"If you're in anything that ends in ever it's pretty impressive," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said before the game. "The way Lou does it with his size and how often he gets in the paint and finishes over big men is amazing."

That was foul grabbing that boy by his throat.

That's somebody's child!!!

Sup with your boy telling that Jazz fan he would fuck him AND HIS WIFE up?

I don't know what was said to him. But, in this climate, threatening a woman is a bad look.




"I'm going to tell you one thing, I'll f--- him up if he says that s--- again. I promise you," Westbrook said to a security guard behind the bench at the beginning of the video posted to Twitter. Westbrook then looks toward Keisel. "I promise you. You think I'm playing. I swear to God, I swear to God, I'll f--- you up. You and your wife, I'll f--- you up.

"I promise you, on everything I love. On everything I love, n----, I promise you."

I loved it. These Utah fans fucked around with him last year as well. Fans think they can talk to players any how because players can't touch them. That was a quick reminder that you can be touched

Just as i thought, they said something crazy to him. I support everything Russ said. Fans need to watch what they say. There's been too many instances of fans running their mouth this year.

I 1000% SUPPORT EVERYTHING RUSS SAID

"And if I had to do it again, I would say the same exact thing, because I truly will stand up for myself, for my family, for my kids, for my wife, for my mom, for my dad every single time. I expect anybody else to do the same. So that's kind of where I'm at with the whole situation. As for beating up his wife, I have never put my hand on a woman; I never will. Never been in any domestic violence before. Never have before, but once he said the comment, his wife repeated the same thing to me as well. So that's kind of how that started. I know you guys only got the tail end of the video, but the start of the video is way more important and way more disrespectful than wh

I love how westbrook stood up for himself against the fan last night. but am i the only one that is sick of seeing players and fans interact like this and get into big arguments. i like when i see fans give players high fives and such but when it boils over like this this is a little much

 

[Wishbone]

Lol Utah fans get under Russ's skin like no other. I thought he was going to go full Ron Artest for a minute.
