Gotta cook food. I would never ever eat sushi.

Will OKC choke away another game in the 4th?

 

[msgkings322]

SA-HOuston next.....that will be a really good game.

I feel like the Rockets will blow them out

How many games did they choke away in the 4th?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Pelicans playing well.

But, maybe.

If it wasn't for his petulance, he'd be my #2 target.

I wanted to trade Russell to the Kings for him....I like him. I think Walton, Magic, and PG could get through to him.

 

[bksballer89]

OKC up 4 heading to the 4th . Even if they lose this, a 4 point 4th quarter lead is nothing.

The word choke is used far too often

@bksballer89 got no love for the Rockets LOL

 

[bksballer89]

Wondering if the Heat can speak with the NBA about playing their remaining games away from Miami

 

[bksballer89]

@bksballer89 got no love for the Rockets LOL

LMAO nah they look great. I think they win tonight. Just don't think it will be a blowout.

My guess is a 4-8 point Houston win

Just a gut feeling. They are favored by 8.

If you didn't get James, you would be really close to being able to keep Clarkson, while getting 2 lower tiered Max guys.

Gordon...Aaron in Orlando.

Would give Lonzo another athlete and he's young.

But, the Magic are matching.

Or.....Lavine.

If he can bounce back....him and Lonzo on the break?

The Bulls are matching Lavine. No point in discussing RFAs

Gobert exits Jazz-Celtics with left knee injury

 

[tlance]

Carrying the Cavs? Listen, James is having a great season.....maybe his best. But, Love has been playing well also......I wouldn't say he is carrying the Cavs. James carried the Cavs to the Finals when they played the Spurs.....he isn't carrying the Cavs right now. They have others who are pitching in.

Yes. He is carrying them. That doesn't mean he is a solo act, but LeBron is doing the Lion's share of the work. Probably more so than at any point in his career since signing in Miami.

 

[tlance]

agreed, but who'll be the super teams 4 years from now...?

6ers, probably still GS and then Who knows?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Embiid is such a douchenozzle.

 

[bksballer89]

11-0 run . Game tied

 

[bksballer89]

Overtime in Philly

The Cavs have won a bunch of games just by Lebron imposing his will. It happened quite a few times early in the season when they were challenged in a close game and Lebron led them to a win ... with him controlling the ball at crunchtime. (Celtics, Wizards, Pistons, Knicks, Hornets, Clips .. almost against the Rockets) It is interesting how the Cavs average margin of victory is so small -- even though their record is solid.

It happened last night at about 8 minutes when the Lakers cut it to 4. Lebron went back in ... immediately the Cavs lead went back to 11. (two assists and then a steal/rebound)

I think it will catch up with Lebron & Cavs at some point. No way can they continue to assume they can flip the switch and always pull out small margin wins.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Thunder choking again.....this experiment in OKC isn't working.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yep.

We won't see another KCP situation with either of those guys I mentioned.
