Lonzo Ball’s career is over in my opinion. He should just hang his shoes for his own health and life retirement. I am feel bad for the man.
When his coach said "best chance", I read that as last chance. If this latest surgery goes through, maybe he comes back towards end of next season and shows Bulls something. But its a long long shot. The only positive here is he is younger, maybe his body can be taught to do things a little differently. Playing professional basketball and back to backs, most people dont have the body to deal with it

Cartilage transplant is extreme, especially after 2 knee surgeries. It will take a miracle for him to rehab and come back good. Man is going to be out for 3 straight seasons now.

That has to be the worst officiating I have seen in the NBA. The refs clearly called Mavs ball but somehow the Warriors ended up with the ball.. Looks like a lot of miscommunication but Cuban is absolutely right to contest the result since it was a 2 point loss. Let’s see what the NBA comes up with.

To be honest, when ref calls start to affect you like that, you are already playing terrible bball. Mavs have falen from #5 seed to nearly being out of of even the playins. So this loss hurts even more.

Bro, put your shoulder down, 2 game win streak now you feeling comfy in lakerland
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:54am On Mar 24, 2023
D. Timmie is so grounded fundamentally! He never takes a bad shot, stays around high percentage zones for me and his foot work is elite! He looks like he is playing with kids out there..
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:29am On Mar 24, 2023
That play call after the timeout by M. Few is unbelievable. UCLA sag to double D. Timmie inside the paint and play the percentages on the 3 ball since the Zags don’t shoot it well. Few knew they would do that and had Strawther runs behind Sallis who hands the ball over to him for a 3 ball which he knocks down! Talk about calling a play!

way to jinx it. I do want to see Lebron in a 7 game series, I feel like the old man has worked hard enough and some post season play time is in order. If possible, Lakers need to avoid playins which is shaping up to be a blood bath
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:04am On Mar 25, 2023
Next time Lakers fans complain about free throws and refs wipe them Oraimo cord for throat grin grin

LMAO.. Jason Kidd needs to go, he has had more than enough time. Your teams offense is so predictable and he has absolutely no defensive strategy which is sad when you consider he was one of the better small guards in his time.

Lakers are now in the 7th position...
I see Lakers moving up to make playoff not play in

Last 4 of the 8 games left are vs clippers, suns, jazz and timberwolves, and they could lose half of those, maybe 3 out of 4 because they play Jazz twice in the last 8. That disastrous start to the season, losing 15 of the first 18 games is about to bite em. Otherwise they would be sitting comfortable at 4 or 5 seed. And I think that is why Lakers are an x factor - they havent played their best basketball yet and have had long stretches of injuries. This team, with a healthy Lebron feels more like a top 4 seed

This is why I always laugh when guys like Draymond and other people chat about how only athletes can effectively speak and critique games like basketball is brain surgery.

Steve Nash, Mark Jackson, Jason Kidd is proof you can be elite players even elite PGs which is considered the most cerebral position and still completely clueless on how to set your team up.

That team is just unbearable to watch and I will not be shocked if they miss the play in altogether
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m):
I can’t speak enough of how grateful I am to “KG” and “The Truth” for trying to support this generation. This 3, especially Tatum needed this conversation. I also understand both legends had off the record conversation with these guys about our recent slump and I can see the changes in Tatum as he now making more effort to take the ball to the rack instead of just jacking up 3 balls! Being a Celtic as a player or fan is more than just you!

LMAO! Ajala has carried his many bad traits to the LA locker room. Talks of an obvious beef between AD and Ajala have resurfaced.
AD has come out to debunk the rumors again but it has only fueled the credibility. The Lakers are playing better without Ajala on the court and the locker room is split.
AD wants to win and play in the postseason while Ajala is interested in his own records and Ajala!

Dallas Mavericks Is trash team right now.


Charlotte Hornets Dy beat them..

The arrival of Kyrie Irving destroyed this team..
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:23pm On Mar 26, 2023
How does Dallas lose back-to-back against a Hornets team who are without Melo, Oubre and Rosier?
Re: The NBA Begins by Honlucas: 8:24pm On Mar 26, 2023
LeBron is back

Naaa. They have been just as poor before Kyrie’s arrival.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:09pm On Mar 26, 2023
Yeah Mark Cuban has to blow up this team.

Lool hell naww. The record says otherwise.

In hindsight not paying Jalen Brunson was an egregious mistake.

I can't see any realistic possibility the Mavs make the postseason. Even the play-in. Kyrie is just an awful fit, with Dinwiddie and DFS at least their availability was never in doubt. This team is just a mess from the defense to Kyrie and his empty calorie stats and unavailability

They were #5 in the playoffs. They were way better.

The team was ok before the trade. They just have to find Kyrie a new home and get complementary pieces for Luka.

He came off the bench. That debunks this rumor.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 10:40pm On Mar 26, 2023
Despite that useless ref throwing Vucevic out. The Bulls are knacking Lakers 4x4 like prime Hacksaw Jim Duggan shocked

I knew the Bulls were going to lose over Pat Beverley's dead body

Do I want Kyrie as a team moving forward? If he's willing to play at mid level or maybe $15m per annum?

I don't believe any team remotely serious about winning a title gives Kyrie significant money
