Warriors now closer to 4th than 1st

Damn....

That doesn't sound good at all.

Oh well....they gotta find a way to fight through that now too.

Warriors' Green (back) out at least 2 more weeks

Evaluations indicated that the soreness in Draymond Green's left calf is tied to "the involvement of a disc in his lower back." He will be reevaluated in two weeks.

Happy MLK Jr Day, everyone.


Do something positive in your community to help keep his legacy, and the dream alive.

Must be havin a bad day…

Ooh look!

Pasta learned how to change the words in the post he is quoting!

Fun!

Really one of your worst takes on here. And that is saying something because you have had some pretty terrible ones.

Are you Skip Bayless?

It is January 17th, over half the season is complete, the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost Ricky Rubio and Colin Sexton for the season, and they are 2.5 games out of 1st place in the conference. They have surpassed their win total from last year.

Are they, or the Griz the biggest surprise team in the NBA? I would say the Cavs are more of a shock, due to everyone thinking they would almost assuredly be a bottom 5 team. Griz always had Ja who is now in year 4.

Sounds like Durant is going to be out for a while. Gonna be interesting to see how they handle that.

They need to pay the damn 5k fine for playing Irving.....

 

[WiggyRuss]

They need to pay the damn 5k fine for playing Irving.....

nope. Never will do it.

anyone saying this, including you and @tlance really does not get it and are not looking at the big picture.

I expect them to at some point, but they have like 11 of the next 14 on the road anyway.

True.

Why would they never do it?

 

[Wamu]

There isnt a player in any sport that patterns their game after a former player.

Oh really? Explain this article then.

So?

This isn’t pro wrestling

Plumlee and bouk for turner

 

[WiggyRuss]

the main reason is the precedent it would set.

the second reason would be- PR wise- they already took flak for letting irving play half the games- now they are going to pay his fines so he can play them all?

the league office would simply not allow them to do it. What would stop any other player from doing it? It would create a nightmare all around.

a lot of people in the public would get pissed as well.

What does that scripted wrestling nonsense have to do with pasta incorrectly say no athlete has ever patterned their game after another athlete?

Disagree. It’s their pathway to competing for a championship. Do you even sports? In every major league you see guys who have sexually assaulted women, beaten women, driven drunk, etc…teams still sign those guys if they make their team better. They bite the PR bullet because everybody forgets when they win. And now we’re talking about something like vaxx or not vaxx? I think your projection is absurd. I don’t know when it will kick in but the only way Irving misses a playoff game is if he is injured. Nets wouldn’t batt an eyelash at paying those fines.

 

[tlance]

LOL.

You are a fool if you think they won’t ever pay this fine.

Maybe Kyrie gets the jab and makes it all moot.

But they are accountable to the stars in the locker room first and foremost.

How do you think KD responds when they lose in the playoffs with Kyrie only playing road games?

Besides, the law is an arbitrary one. It is inconsistent with the laws in other NBA cities and only randomly affects a few teams.

I am as pro vax as it gets, and I think the Nets would be stupid to not pay the fine.

Any other player?

Is there another player in his position?

There are unvaccinated players on other teams playing without consequence.

They took flak because they flip-flopped.

In the playoffs imo
