someone is going to get a steal signing dillon brooks for ultra-cheap after all this bad press.

if a team can convince him to stop chucking up 13 shots every night for no reason he could be great value as a wing defender

better have a good locker room leader and strong mental though to put up with his shenanigans

if this is accurate, then good luck with any team trying that lol

I think this means hell go to like, the Wizards or the Hornets

Yeah, if Brooks wants a bigger role, he'll have to go to a bad team.

i mean there are some bad front offices for sure, but i find it pretty hard to believe any young/bad team wants dillon brooks in there setting culture and chucking up shots.

One voter didnt even put Jokic Top 5

even more egregiously, two voters didn't have tatum in the top 5

I'm kinda surprised Embiid was that clear of a winner.

mvp repeat fatigue a tale as old as time

also the first time LeBron didn't get a single vote in his entire career (probably should have already happened on one of his Laker years but hey)

Who let Kendrick Perkins vote?

Sabonis and Fox both got some votes out of only 13 players to get one. Only team with two vote getters woooo

I saw Jimmy was out for tonight, did they say how long he'll be out?

I imagine he sat out because Miami already stole one. same as why Embiid will sit tomorrow

man Miami rope a doped the whole NBA. even without Jimmy they almost win, and they certainly execute better than the Knicks (though everyone executes better than them on offense)

not sure that's the shot the warriors wanted on that possession

like curry you might excuse that but lmao

(LeBron on the previous possession not with a great one either, but running the clock down and jacking up a less than ideal three is more common than it should be)

Poole about to get punched again

warriors honestly playing this one 5v6 out there against these referees and still had a chance to win

i didn't watch but look at their opponent, they're guaranteed to be playing every game against the refs this series

NBA definitely wants this going 7 so it probably won't be every game!

that Poole shot is why Curry had to give a speech game 7 against the kings lmao

This is basically what I was trying to express in saying the speech mattered lmao

The Carlton GIF was trending on Twitter because of Jordan Poole

also are the Nuggets the favorites to win the title yet

Taking my colonoscopy prep right now just wanted to let everyone know the shit show in Boston has started a little earlier tonight

gotta say, i don't watch much sixers outside of the playoffs, so i'm glad i got to witness some of the mvp season

If the Thunder don't win the lottery, do they try and ship off their mountain of picks to whoever does draw 1?

I wonder how much you'd have to give in order to make someone pass on a generational talent like Wembanyama

didnt take anything for people to pass on Luka!

Not even Luka was as highly regarded coming into the league as Wembanyama

would you ship off holmgren to do so? Don't holmgren and wmeby basically fill the same position

you would need to trade a guaranteed superstar to get a team to give up wemby

you don't trade wemby for picks, he's the guy you were hoping to get with those picks

Man what if Wemby ends up like Zion

it could happen. you still take zion #1 every time because he's a generational talent and you only get 3 or 4 of those guys every decade.

That's the risk you take

Zion is still amazing when he plays

Turn on the game and its two minutes of commentators crying about the lack of free throws for LAL. How many decades do we need to have a national state of emergency for the Lakers FT situation.

as if they didn't have 20 more FTs than Golden State in Game 1 lawl

Maybe they should be more concerned that AD can't have back to back great games

Booker is stupidly good.

good lord

seems sustainable

If anything happens to KD (or Booker, but obv KD) The Suns are cooked. KD really needs to show he's still Him at least until CP3 is healthy again.

i think the suns are cooked regardless. they have exactly 2 players on offense and about the same on defense. if ayton continues to be this invisible and they have to bench him for landale i don't think that bodes well for their chances of winning another 3 games

If they can win their next game at home and then get CP3 back for game 5 on they still have a fair chance. Whether or not it was fair, before Paul's injury people generally expected the Suns to just walk through this series.

if the suns escape this round then also just be sitting ducks in round 3 lol

strong disagree. I'd take either the Suns/Nuggets over Lakers/Warriors

the finals though...

That says more about what people think of the Nuggets (probably incorrectly)
