LeBron out tonight. Reason- he a bitch. I mean he turned his ankle last night.


Funny thing is if I would pick the Nuggets to win tonight, which I'm not I don't gamble, the Lakers would win.

A Warriors-Lakers play in game would be a lot of fun. Let's hope it happens.

If that happens can you guess who I'll be rooting for?

Hey you know me, I say the Lakers losing is a good thing. I'll be watching the game tonight. You gonna watch? Looking at the standings they have 8 games remaining. It would be funny if they go 0-8 and finish at .500.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Can we talk about how big of a stud kelly olynyk is?

Good player on a baaaaaaaaaaad team.

 

[DJ Fieri]

You're such a clown. And talking about hypocrites you fit that description since you went from LeBron's biggest fan-boy to his biggest critic faster than Steph can hit a 3.

LOL.

I guess it’s Schroeder’s turn for some rest

Following COVID protocols.

Well, it probably wouldn't bring a whole Lotta chuckles over here, but we'll see how it goes...

Rest? Covid protocols that likely going to lead him missing some playoffs games

You know what’s kinda funny, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Lakers actually won tonight. Play like horse shit all month, beat a great team to give us a glimmer of home, only to probably lose to Houston or something in the next few weeks

Oh, I agree that's why they're doing it and I think it's ultimately a good idea. Fans of at least a few teams that would probably be tanking right now, have a reason to keep watching and attending games. More fan interest means more revenue.

Added revenue aside, I think it may also help to curb some of the tanking and it gives the league more ground to stand on if they decide to start punishing teams for tanking. They can say "We've created another path to get in and you still want to tank?"

My only issue with Lebron saying what he said is that he apparently said something different when the Lakers weren't looking at the possibility of having to actually play in it. If his opinion was consistent, I really wouldn't care what he thought about it. Say what you want about it, but be consistent.

Even if he has changed his opinion, for whatever reason, then say you've changed your opinion and why. Don't just say someone should lose their job over something you originally had no problem with.

It’s being discussed right now on the nba network that Lebron is Vice President of the players union and the union signed off on all of this. Lebron couldn’t look worse here, it was fine as long as he had no chance of playing in it but not now. Just shows a huge lack of maturity that can’t be respected.

Yeah, heard about that on BSPN earlier today. And I agree it DOES make him look very hypocritical...

We’re talking a Different time, we’re talking about a time when you had to be back the field to play or you lost your position.

we’re not talking about today’s player where recovery for an hang nail is 4 weeks.

if you’re asking me now, do I feel a break only takes 4 to 6 weeks to heel , of course I would say of course not. Back then, that’s how we were treated.

Ok, now that I agree with.

Athletes were pressured to play hurt back in the day. Definitely true.

Today, athletes are actually told that they CAN’T play. It is literally the opposite. Of what you experienced.

It isn’t the athletes’ fault that team management is a lot smarter today than they were 50 years ago.

 

[Robotech]

If that happens can you guess who I'll be rooting for?

I'm guessing that you would be rooting for the little guys.

God damn peak Steph is the best watch.

LeBron and AD are back....Jamal Murray is done...the Lakers are at home

and the Nuggets are 4.5 point favorites.

Lebron isn’t playing, again. Schroeder out too.
