Boston is skullfucking the Suns in their house LOL

Sounds harsh

It ain't pretty. Benches emptied at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Klay played some nasty defense on that 3 by Utah to cut it to 1

Good to see the Knicks TCOB at MSG and win in a blowout for a change.
113-89 over Atlanta.

The Trae/McMillan feud isn't going to end nicely. One will be gone, likely Nate (easier).

Amazing news

 

[DJ Fieri]

As expected we lost but nice to see 7 guys score in double digits.....let's see if that gets some of their confidence going.

That took far too long, but that's unfortunately the risk you take being careless in a foreign country (especially THAT country).

Surprised they didn't get Pippen active with 4 players unavailable.

Yeah....me too.

I like him a lot.

He's been playing well for South Bay. Not that those stats mean anything for the NBA, but still a good sign. 34% from 3, 23 ppg in 29 minutes.

They let loose a real shitty human being to make it happen. This was a shitty trade. Even if you agree with the swap, this could have been done 6 months ago and Griner could have been spared a big hunk of this situation. She wasn’t worth the cost.

Shit, last night's game for the Warriors against the Jazz triggered some PTSD flashing back to the late 90's, early 2000 Warriors. I haven't seen something so incompetent to close out a game in a long, long time. Underrated part of having both Steph and Draymond out there to calm the nerves of everyone. It's easy to blame the refs, but the Warriors win this easy if they just take care of business.

-Jordan Poole missed freethrow
-Klay Thompson has the ball stolen from him on the inbound when the Jazz were clearly going to either try to steal the ball or foul. Plus had timeouts still. No points.
-Klay Thompson falling asleep on defensive, giving up the 3 to Beasley.
-Jordan Poole not securing the ball on the inbound, leaving it exposed. Even if he was fouled (twice), he could have just pulled the ball to his chest and waited for the foul. He's not going to be passing to anyone there.

Just horrendous.

He did serve 15 years of his 25 year sentence. He was going to get out eventually.

Doesn’t make it any better.

Would you do this if your the Bulls? Obviously it would have to get bad and possibly even DeMar asking out of Chicago.

LA gets: DeMar
Chicago gets: Lonnie Walker, Pat Bev, '27 1st, '29 1st

All expiring and Vucevic is expiring so they will have cap space next year. Two 1st's included. I think Chicago can do better.

You're asking about the Bulls but why would the Lakers do that? Walker has been decent for them and they're still stuck with Westbrook while also giving up both 1st round picks

DeMar isn't a perfect fit but the only issue for the Laker here is matching the salary. You give up a 1st for DeMar for those guys without a doubt imo. Russ has been a better fit on the bench.

I mean obviously the better deal is giving up Russ for Vuc and DeMar even if you give up both picks. Vuc can spread the floor and AD stays at the 4. DeMar does not spread the floor but a shot maker and another guy that can close out unlike Russ.
