Kobe’s last game, Magic’s return are my favs.

You mean Magic's return in the '92 A.S., his return to playing or both? His return in the '92 A.S. game was pretty cool. And Kobe's last game was just crazy. 60 wasn't it?

Yep the biggest issues are FT’s, the 3 ball (being somewhat consistent) and defending the 3. Their defense defending the 3 blows my mind

Fedor explained it recently. The key to their D is funneling guys into the paint to try and take contested 2s by Mobley/Allen. could leave them vulnerable on the perimeter.....but they are still overall among the top defenses so whatever they do seems to work.

Win your challenge, keep your challenge unlimited times

And auto review last 2 minutes no matter what.

Teams will still only challenge sure fire overturns because if they lose, they are done. So I don’t think challenges would get overused.

I'd even be fine allowing just 1 extra if you win. 1 total just not enough.

In addition, at least go back to looking at the close OOB calls last 2 minutes like they used to (without needing a challenge).

Rumors around here about the Thunder trading Darius Basley to the Kings.

Ha! I said the same thing in October or November and got ripped for it.

I hope Embiid declines.

Why? Another wing that is inconsistent shooting the ball lol. I get it won’t cost much and he has upside

Hell yeah. He should also sit out the rest of the season to help the Celtics, I mean in protest.

FVV/OG/Trent Jr for Russ/Bev/Christie/2027 and 2029 unprotected sounds about right......?

Kinda glad the Lakers opted for Rui over Reddish (similar trade opportunities).

Sure why not?

If Reddish would be an upgrade at SF then going after him would be a good thing for the Cavs. What's his defense like? Haven't seen many Knicks games this season. I think something might be wrong with the owner, he doesn't seem right.

Not by me

Totally agree

Totally agree

Not all but a handful of Lakers fans were making the comparison and what Reaves said was exactly my reply.
