Amen!

It's One Year to the day Kobe Bryant passed on. R.I.P Mamba. I still vividly remember that faithful day.

You are sorely missed Black Mamba

The manner in which Westbrook has derailed ever since he stepped his foot in that bubble needs to be investigated. Man has scored 163 points this season from 163 shots, averaging 18 points on 37% shooting, after averaging 27 points from 47% shooting last year, which was his most efficient shooting season in the NBA. At 32 years of age is he done? Man needs to see a psychologist.

Bradley Beal meanwhile really deserves better. Man was literally sobbing on the bench, probably realizing that his talents are wasting in Washington. He needs to get his butt out of that city asap.

Classic Westbrook

I need the bucks to trade for Beal and pair him with Giannis

He looks a step slower. I think the injuries may have accelerated father time for him. He still likes to play physical and he will get some points, but the triple double WB is gone

That would be good

But it's not like he went on one long injury like that. He should go back to the basics for real, I think he's trying to do too much.

After that quad injury in the rockets playoffs last year, he really has not been the same imo. I believe even the latest injury is related to this

Eastbrook issues are more psychological than physical I believe. He does not really seem to have lost his physical prowess, the issue could be mental.

Westbrook is a stubborn chap that has refused to reinvent his game. It's one thing to be a hard worker and a guy renowned for playing hard but at some point you should start playing smart. He's like a dried fish that you cannot bend anymore else it breaks.

You're now literally the worst high volume shooter in the league but rather than modify your game to be more facilitator and take fewer shots he would rather shoot his teams out of games

This is spot on, Its already too late for him. At least he's still owed $85m so he secured the bag

I keep seeing people link Andre Drummond to the Nets. I wonder how on earth they think they can pull that off. The man's earning 29m, which makes it nigh on impossible for the Nets to acquire him. Except they want to play with only a starting five and no bench. I don't mean bad bench, I mean no bench at all, cos DeAndre Jordan earns only 10m for him to be used as any type of trade piece.

But Drummumd's contract is up at the end of the year, and the way he's balling, I don't think he'll accept anything less than 20. Man could possibly be an all-star this year.

Oh, I get it. They could use the disabled player exception. I have to read more on that to see how possible it is.

Damnn!!! This is how y'all cash out??

Man staked 250$ to win over 100,000$.

Only Ersan can pull this off.

I saw this stat on Ig and almost spilled my drink.

Russel Westbrook, the only man that goes 1000km/hr with nothing to show for it.

Player props. They can make you or break you. The money is sweet when you hit sha

I appreciate Oladipo giving Houston his all even though we arent Miami. But pls dont take charges on meaningless games. No shorten ya career abeg

Lemme shake this table small

If we're being truthful, Harden has influenced the game more than Steph has. But hey, I'm not allowed to say that.

You are not shaking any tables: a team shooting more 3 points than others is not equal to coaches now accepting long range and off the dribble 3s as good play. To be influential to a culture or sport, you have to change the way people THINK about that culture or sport. You have to INFLUENCE the sport's mentality. "we like to play like the Houston Rockets" said no one ever. "We like to dribble like Harden" said no one ever. Now, let me humor you a little further. Influential players of the last 3 decades? MJ, Shaq, AI, Kobe and Curry. Lebron is surely greater than Shaq, AI and Curry, but he did not change people's way of playing basketball.

S. Curry Lonzo Ball

Utah and the Clippers quietly chugging along. Utah can't lose rn.

Are the Mavs the biggest disappointment of the season thus far? They probably are in my books

They choked last season but we shouldn't sleep on these Clippers. Hmm

Wait, the step-back three that the whole league now does, who made it popular? Or am I missing something here? To the extent that the league had to bring about the gather rule just to accommodate it. Man gerrarahere

And you had to throw in the ol' LeBron shade . Saying Curry is more influential than LeBron. The words didn't taste bitter in your mouth? And his minions had to like the post

Without LeBron in this league for the past decade or so, the sports would be as popular as the NHL. LeBron influenced the game on and off the court more than Curry would ever dream of. I'm not even arguing this with you, it's ridiculous.

Anyway he's a LeBron hater, so I didn't expect anything less

Popovic has got these young Spurs playing some exciting basketball. I have watch a couple of their games recently including wins agains both LA teams, my Celtics and last night against the Nuggets. They are very quick in transition and because of their wing span they can be quite disruptive on the defensive end.
We are also seeing the resurgence of P. Mills who has has been a catalyst off the bench for them. Would they make the playoffs?
