    Meyers just needs a chance! Such a fresh young talent, I'm certain he will break out any day now!

    Speaking of Portland. How are they leading the Western Conference right now?

  • XehalusXehalus Registered User regular

    Portland is kind of like GS 5 years ago when several guys went from good to all nba all at the same time

    I mean, remember when there was a debate about whether GS should trade for Kevin Love and let Klay go?

    There was more than debate. It was conventional wisdom in sports media and GS management was prepared to do it but Kerr wanted the chance to see if he could make the "Splash Brothers" more productive in a proper system.

    So much could have been different about this league if the Knicks and Kerr didn't get into a financial dispute. Kerr could have been in New York, Love would have been in Oakland, and who knows where Lebron, Klay, and the Cavs would have ended up.

    JR Smith and the Cleveland Cavaliers have mutually agreed for him to leave the team as both sides work to facilitate a trade.

    please don't come to Atlanta

    I dunno, JR seems like a Beijing Ducks kinda guy at this point.

    I'd rather see John Wall to the Lakers tbh

    Or maybe Dwight somehow, that'd be funny.

    Move over Jimmy Butler, there's a new Wolf in town

    This sounds like exactly the kind of dumbshit move the Hornets would make. Let's not please.

    I think the Hawks have their PG of the future with Trae Young dishing out 17 assists against a good team

    John Collins and Taurean Prince are probably the only other players I'm completely optimistic about

    maybe the rebuild won't take a decade this time

    I’m ready for Murray, Fox, Young and Doncic to take over the league

    just ordered a knicks cap in preparation of this porzingis/smith/durant/knox team

    stop giving Kyle Korver money

    The Knicks beat the Celtics behind Trey Burke's 29 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds (also THJ's 21 points) and that's just hilarious and excellent.

    fultz wants out and i want him gone at this point.

    that's gonna go down as one of the worst trades in history if the kings pick ends up doing anything. thankfully they seem decent this year so at least it might only be picking a huge bust at the top of the draft merely not also giving away another incredibly high pick.

    quote this when they win the #2 spot in the lottery and i jump off a bridge.

    Lol the Sixers are such astounding trash. Simmons is useless whenever it matters to actually get a w. Fucking get blown out at home against a team that is barely an nba team.

    LeBron's essence must still be with the Cavs

  • Goose!Goose! That's me, honey Show me the way home, honeyRegistered User regular
    Knicks have now won back to back games against the Celtics and Pelicans. Alonzo Trier is the hero tonight with a new career high, 25 points. This team is still not any good but it's cool to see them win against good teams from time to time.

    Hornets do the thing where we lose a close game to go a game under .500 then win two in convincing fashion and then promptly lose another close one to go back to even.

    why do i watch sixers games. getting dumpstered by the nets, negative net rtg on the season, just awful.

    butler doesn't work on this team at all and now muscala gets like 30 minutes a night and it is basically torture.

    it seems kind of self-destructive to have a 6-10 point guard

  • XehalusXehalus Registered User regular
    so Dwight Howard is a piece of shit

    not that it wasn't apparent already

    Knicks got their 3rd in a row, punctuated by a pretty nice dunk from Emmanuel Mudiay. Enes Kanter with the double double, 21 points and career high + league high on the year 26 rebounds

    I've seen stuff from a few places but I'm not sure what's true or not. I'm going to spoiler it and try to be as respectful as possible, but if I fuck up I apologize in advance.
    Masin Elijé, a self-identified gay man, went on Twitter to claim that Dwight Howard cheated on him with other men and trans men. When Elije allegedly confronted Howard about the cheating, he is alleged to have threatened Elije with physical harm. Elije says he is only coming forward because people claiming to be close to Howard have begun harassing him in an attempt to keep him quiet about the relationship.

    There are also reports that Elije also created rumors back in 2017 that rapper Playboi Carti was gay, including faking direct messages between the two (which would fit into these allegations), which is why I used the word allegedly when describing Elije's accusations.

    The whole ordeal isn't being covered by a lot of major publications yet (haven't even seen TMZ on it which seems like it would be up their alley), so it's hard to link anything about what's going on. Plus there has been a LOT of homophobic and transphobic shit coming out in the aftermath.

    Doncic is almost good enough for me to start adding in the accents.
