Losing him for nothing isn’t a good idea either

They are going to do everything in their power to trade lowry

 

[shopson67]

Thoughts on Paul and Jackson over Davis?

Good chance for Davis to get more rest really. Last thing they need is for him to turn an ankle in an Allstar game lol. Not many back to backs left, so can hopefully be ready to go for the stretch run.

 

[shopson67]

No matter what you do Randle, you’re not gettin the calls .. SO JUST STOP lookin for it and play your dam game

LOL. I was going to comment during the Knicks/Lakers game that nobody gets more foul calls for fingertip contact than Randle. In that game at least, he was going to the line repeatedly for grazing contact.

 

[shopson67]

Why is Durant an All Star then?

Big difference leaving as a free agent vs pouting until you're traded.

 

[shopson67]

Was the same guy an All Star last year? The guy leading the league in assists per game isn’t on the All Star team. That says more about this fugaze process than it does anything about James Harden. Your objection is kind of funny. It’s just confirming what I’m saying. It isn’t about basketball. You can’t tell me dude isn’t one of the top 2-3 guards in the East right now. It’s about you don’t like the guy and a whole bunch of other people that don’t like the guy.

Trying to decide how funny it is that Harden's assists are valid but Jokic's aren't somehow....

 

[shopson67]

more like reality hitting them in the face like a ton of bricks.

The thing is, they got 3 first this year, they don't need more draft picks this year, they need picks in the future.

Like 2027 and 2029...

 

[shopson67]

Have I mentioned how much their ass free throw shooting pisses me off?

The guys that missed in the 4th were unusual though. Bev and Schroder have shot well from the line. It's usually Russ and Lebron...

 

[shopson67]

What’s he gonna do with the ball from his ass? Haha. The man walks in as the whole man…his reputation and his history. He’s a bitch who doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. I’m not even a Cavs fan.

Another curious argument, given the previous histrionics over Harden's supposed snub,,,

 

[shopson67]

The Pacers really have players with the numbers 0 and 00? That's the same damn number people, lol. Could that be the fix for everyone that wants to use a retired single digit number? Rui could've used 08....

 

[shopson67]

Are you new here? Lol

I’ve been saying the nba needs to 10x their travel calls since I joined This place

Carrying too

But you're only calling out Lebron's travel is the point.

 

[bksballer89]

52 for Giannis

 

[Mecca]

….and this why I’d take Giannis over Luka.

My GAWD.

The travel happened first, negates the foul.

 

[bksballer89]

The clippers offense to end this game was so nasty

 

[Mecca]

Clips gonna clip.

*shrugs at another loss after leading by 20 *

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Good game @Tai Chi≈Surfing

Felt good to be back in MSG. Atmosphere is so much better than barclays

Yeah...too bad I missed it. I was out celebrating a friend's 50th bday with some other buds...dinner, drinks...yada yada.
I did catch some of the highlights a bit ago. Sounds like you went?
Close game...but can't believe they won at home seeing how subpar they've been there..and even w/o Brunson too? Damn!
Agreed....there's really no place like MSG...while Barclay's is just a place for the frontrunner fans of that team.

 

[Duffman]

52 games into the season, and Jokic has more triple-doubles than the Nuggets have losses.

Yep I was in the building.

Ton of Heat fans including myself so was probably a 60/40 split.

Still like Barclays the arena itself a bit better but the atmosphere not close to MSG.

Need to see a playoffs game there so hoping the Knicks keep it up

 

[Shanemansj13]

They have been down bad since Ja said the Celtics are the only team they need to worry about.

Lots of L’s since then.

Too much talking for a team that hasn’t even made it out of the west

 

[Shanemansj13]

Didn't deserve it, IMO. Inadvertent contact.

He rolls over, looks up and just happens to swing his arm into Mitchell’s crouch…yeah sure LOL
