Being reported here in the OKC that Lebron is likely going to miss the rest of the regular season.

Is it the same ankle as before?

Presti says thanks, but no thanks

I also think it's likely a fair thought that KAT doesn't like it there as much since they traded practically the entire team.

They are playing him like he’s Luke Kennard.

Just stand in the corner and launch 3 balls, that’s IF Ant decides to even pass the ball.

Was it the right last time?

Nope…

Well if he returned at the 3 week mark, there would be 5-6 games left in the season. If the Lakers are struggling to get a play-in spot he probably toughs it out and returns, if not, he won’t be back till the playoffs to get more rest. No point in risking it

It's clear that Rudy's presence is affecting spacing. KAT is shooting by far his worst 3 pt ever.

Fortunately the west is extremely mediocre. As long as AD can keep his shit together they could make the playoffs.

AD can quiet some haters here.

I jokingly asked the other day would the league drug test Dame after his 71 point game like they did with Mitchell. Yep.

'Are y'all serious?': Damian Lillard puts NBA on blast for drug test following 71-point game (from usatoday)

Would still like to know if the league tested Luka after his 60 point / 20 rebound trip-dub since he's the only player ever to put numbers up like that in a game.

Cherry-picking that prime matchup, lol.

Perk's just jealous. He can't do it, so it must be stat-padding.

I don’t think jealousy has anything to do with it, but being controversial about something absolutely does.

Yeah....the whole vibe with this team is better with RW gone.

Well I’m going to go ahead and call Lillard a superstar, he fits the bill for me. I’ve seen him routinely drive daggers on pretty much the whole league.

And I am fine with people who do want to put him there. No issue from me.

But it is debatable for sure.

And people here (not you) were calling me crazy for not putting him on my superstar list.

 

[tlance]

Just say we're fucked and be done with it. This is what happens when you ride a 38 year old for 38 mins a game because you put together a dogshit roster.

And what a giant tease it is that everyone ahead of them keeps losing (only .5 games out of 10th right now), they get some depth (finally), and now Lebron goes down

This is also what happens when you wait until the last possible minute to make a needed trade.

Dug too big a hole.

They made their bed.

I think KAT will have a huge resentence once he is traded.

Don’t think he will be a #1 on a contender ever, but he is damn good.

And pretty easy to understand why one might be disillusioned playing in Minnesota.

Yea...they traded all those assets for another C? When he's a C.

But still I hate pulling the I'm Injured for 40 games over a fucking calf.
