What did Canada win? Did they get a medal or anything? Or was it just a glorified exhibition tournament
They won what sports was invented for, the thrill of victory, country pride, all that. And I’m sure they made some money too.

It was better 25 years ago.

But don’t kid yourself

They never played defense for more than a few minutes in the all star game.
I get it, but last night was just fantastic. 75 percent or more of the best players in the world putting it all on the line.

He hit his head on the floor. You can’t talk! Brunson is a grifter
Seriously bro this has nothing to do with anything but him going face first into wood

Hands never came out to protect himself

He has to be on something to take that kind of hit, walk away from it without being groggy… how he wasn’t takin for concussion protocol is beyond me

If I’m wrong, blowin it out of proportion
My apologies. He hit face first flush

You said he was hardly touched. I simply said the contact isn’t why he was hurt, it was the fall. He might not have concussion symptoms now, could kick in later or he got lucky. Impossible to tell from our standpoint but he hit head hard for sure, you aren’t wrong about that

I didn’t think there originally was a lot of contact that caused him to go to ground like that, it’s why I said he’s on somethin, and i back it with no hands came out to break fall… that’s first reaction if you’re in the right state of mind to protect yourself

Again, I didn’t see a lot of the replay, but he should have been takin into clubhouse for check

I thought in every major sport , hit above shoulder automatic concussion protocol ?

The shorthanded Knicks will likely get stomped in Cleveland tonight.
It's their 2nd game of a b2b after last night's (much needed) OT win in NYC.
I'm thinking a loss of at least 25 pts...unless the Cavs decide to rest some of their regs.

Well that was a glaring no brainer.....but nonetheless I called it a few hours ago.

:laugh:

This Heat team is so bad
they need to clear that Robinson contract off the books- if they do they can add a pretty high $ player this summer- although this free agent class is pretty mediocre.

they need a high level point guard is what they need--- which is typically one of the easier positions to find.

maybe the Heat wait a year--- after next year Robinson, Rozier and Anderson come off the books and the free agent class is better.

Herro and Bam is pretty decent place to start- but not a lot of other talent on the Heat......Riley needs to line it up so he has room for a big contract after next year.

Cavs 1-2 vs celtics

Cav 1-1 vs OKC

Dude. Really!
the point is the Knicks clearly cant play with the big boys---- definitely not on the same tier as the Celtics and Thunder and Cavs.....not only that but, as is typical, Thibs is running the starting lineup into the ground- partly because it is not a very deep team.

The Knicks are a nice little team but they cant play with the big boys. They are not top tier. A nice little team- but nothing close to a real contender.

Records gone to your head bro

Long way to go

Thibs ain’t the coach for this team, imo

That running team into ground is foolish talk

Probably would have gotten to eastern finals last year, with last years team, if not for major injuries

This years team is good enough to get there , don’t think thibs is the guy for this team

We will see, good luck rest of way

Ot with the sorry ass raptors lol should have paid Jimmy
take a step back for one year and then come back, and sign a real PG- and try and get a 3 and D wing- by then Bam and Herro will be at the apex of their careers age wise and we can see exactly what they are made out of.

The Lakers thought he was to broken to accept.

I'm curious about what the Lakers doctors saw. Assuming there was legit concern rather than thinking they want to save the assets they were sending for someone better over the summer...I'd expect that they must think he's going to be another Andrew Bynum 2.0.

I also have to wonder about the Hornets...they wanted to move him bad enough that they tried to get the league to not let the Lakers back out.

So, one side nixes a trade for a player who literally everyone was saying fills a glaring need, and the other side doesn't want him back badly enough that they try to force the other side to take him.

Seems like someone is lying.
