The Health of Kawahi Leonard is a state secret.
Literally nobody knows what is going on.

I give them credit for being semi-decent without him, but it seems like he might miss the whole season or come in at the next timeout in this game. Popovich readily admits he has no idea either.

Who knows? There is literally zero information. Kawahi has no social media presence. No pictures of his family....No friends...No interviews....no paper trail.....

It is sort of creepy how a guy who might be a top 3 player in a big sport is capable of going off the grid.

The CIA needs to take lessons from Kawahi about going undercover for missions.

Is that why no one was at the game, no Kawhi and Parker?

Thunder finally didn't give one away in the 4th. They played hard and George went nuts tonight. That's how it needs to be in my opinion, screw the big 3 taking equal shots like they have been. You can't force it, when you got 3 big time scorers you got to ride the hot hand. George had it tonight.

huh???

18,418 people were at the Spurs game. That is 99% of the 18,581 available seats.

Even the worst attended NBA teams like the Atlanta Hawk get almost 80% capacity at games.
And they are considered god awful with tickets sales. The NBA does not have any issues selling tickets.

The Spurs are currently #11 in the league at 98%.
The NBA league average is 95%.

There was not a lot of people left in the stands in the last few minutes or so....but that is with any game when the certainty of a loss becomes apparent. Nobody sticks around for the death throws in any city for any sport.

All fans do it. It is especially true in the NBA or college basketball.

Despite early struggles and missing Whiteside for 5 games the Heat are at .500, not bad.

Nope not at all. I'm satisfied with out record at the moment. We also had a chance to win every game this season except for our losses vs the spurs and warriors. All the other games could have been a heat win had things gone slightly differently in the final 2 minutes of those other 4 losses

Yep.

And it gets a lot tougher from here.

Win #2. Pretty good win vs a decent Portland team. If I had to take a guess, I'll say they get 4 wins this month.

I'm guessing they split their 2 games with Utah and beat Dallas.

It might help though If I could watch the games on another channel besides TNT, I don't like Shaq Oneal and Charles Barkley and after they acted like assholes tonight, I think even less of them now if that is possible

Celtics win again
At this point... I'm convinced the Celtics are invincible!! :D

----------

On a serious note: Irving's nascent MVP campaign took a big hit last night. As we plainly saw, the C's can just plug in a Shane Larkin and easily replicate Kyrie's impact on the game.

But, Brad Stevens already has COY locked up, IMO. Celtics win 55+ and he is a shoe in.

Yeah, losing arguably your 2nd best player for the season 5 minutes in and looking like one of the most impressive teams in the league is truly remarkable. Stevens can coach.

Boston won their 11th straight with Irving playing just 2 minutes?

This team is better than most thought before the season started.
