Sorry to hear

Sorry to hear

Thanks, it's just horrible to hear.

Too many morons out there still not taking it seriously.....

Right.

You can’t base assumptions off assist totals though.

Houston Harden was the biggest ball hog in NBA history and he led the league in assists.

Harden is initiating and passing the ball, but when he gives it to Kyrie it is generally in position to be aggressive and score.

If Kyrie was playing a primary ball handler role and getting 0 assists I would agree. That isn’t what is happening though.

Yeah, the problem with Harden hasn't been that he won't pass. He's actually a very good passer. The problem has pretty much always been how long he would hold onto the ball trying to get his own shot before he passed.

Sure, but he looks nothing like the player in Houston......to me, at least. He hasn't been dribbling 15-20 times per possession and has been making great decisions.

He looks the same on defense.

True.

But, in fairness Irving ain't playing defense and KD's injury may prevent him from playing average defense.....LOL.

if the Cavs could get Dinwiddie in a Drummond trade would you be for it or against it?

Yes but would rather have picks. Dinwiddie has a player option next season

Nets dont have much in the way of those left lol

Interesting. I guess I'd take him over losing Drummond for nothing, but not what this team needs with Sexton and Garland. He is a solid player, for sure.

[DJ]

Going to pick up a 30 pack of Busch for just under 19 bucks at Albertsons on Thursday.

Cavs should have won that game. That’s one of the best games I’ve seen Lebron play in years

 

[Shanemansj13]

The Lakers can’t matchup salaries

Shoulda, woulda, coulda....


LeBron has been balling out 2 of his last 3 games, almost like he wants to send a message about the MVP or some shit.....LOL.

Who the hell keeps bringing up these Drummond to Nets after buyout rumors...wtf. Dude just puts up 20 and 15 every game, they aren’t buying him out...at least not anytime soon lol
