wao. just googled it. I saw the news flash earlier and I thought it was the old injury. Man, that is rough. McGee cant be feeling too good right now. If its 4 weeks, he could be back by the time they really need him, deep in the playoffs. Or maybe shut it down for the year rather than risk re-injury, just like Kawhi
I am a man of the spirit and this your wish is not from God.

I thereby reject it fully. Amen.

I HAVE MISSED YALL. THANKS FOR ALL THE SHOUTOUT, TRYING TO CHECK ON ME AND HOLDING DOWN THE FORT #MIZZZBEEE kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss
Me and SmooshCHN held it I am sure you were viewing in the shadows.

The weeks have been rough but I am certain it will work out well.

I see visions of Steph yelling “I am back!” in the WCFs when he joins to help us put those pretenders in their place.

Some of our enemies here know their man stands no chance should we come out of the west. They would rather play Harden who only wants to win MVP and go home.

The only person i'm worried about is Steph's injury. I hope it's a grade one cause it didn't look as bad as when he slipped vs Houston. They reported it as grade 2 but trust me, that one didn't look like a grade 2 i wish i could see the xRAYs cheesy.. Other guys should be fine and as Kerr addressed everyone, there's no excuse from the squad. As for Houston, i'm sure Harden is looking past just MVP and he's looking to prove everyone including Kevin McHale wrong. Let's not decieve ourselves here, this playoffs is gonna be tough and i hope we're healthy if we meet OKC in the second round. The whole drama is suited for them to get their revenge.. I've been praying for the Nuggets to get in the mix but they've just been sleeping.

Eruditor:
Kawhi knows what CP3 did in not signing with SAS. Pop is going to retire soon and Kawhi does not want to be hedged to the franchise for that long without Pop. I think it is also playing into his psyche.

Tony Parker had to call him out by saying that Tony’s own injury was way worse than Kawhi’s yet he recovered. It is all mental now as the player is unhappy. Even if Pop was to play the same trick on him, it is still there somewhere that the man will leave and kawhi might be left with a greenhorn coach.

It is all speculation as it were but stranger things have happened.
I did not know this.

Zeke Upshaw collapsed on court before he passed away. May he rest in peace. I don't know him personally but with what just happened, there's no f*cking way Chris Bosh is coming back to the NBA.. Blood clot in the lung or brain is no joke..
Re: The NBA Begins by tex25:
Really sad one, Yeah absolutely no way, CB coming back would be him risking his life.

Roland17:
10 points (5/13 shooting), 8 assists and 4 rebounds in 15 minutes for M. Fultz after missing 68 games.

Not bad if you ask me. More than anything, I am happy he is back on the court.
Yeah, good the Rookies back after that long spell. Embiid can rest a little now, the big man has literally been a monster and the 76ers been balling. Markelle will definitely add more depth to their postseason (4th seed east), let's see how far they push this.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody:
Some may say that I am celebrating too early but these people do not know that in addition to "the Greek god", "The adonis" and "the egghead", I am also known by my mates as "The Scion of Nostradamus". I can see the writing on the wall and I know it's all over for these bums.

I am so happy I think I might even smile. Oooh what a beautiful day. I thought it would never come and I have to say writing this eulogy was one of the most difficult things I've had to do in recent days. After all how do I find the right words fitting of such a triumph? After all these gits have given me a dozen sleepless nights and the only thing that kept me going was dreams about this moment. Knowing that my enemies will be utterly vanquished. Seeing them burn in a ruthless inferno! Everything they've built crumbling into ashes! Ooh what a feeling indeed!

Too bad the warriors never became a dynasty. Too bad they never made it to 4 straight finals and too bad Curry will finish his career with 2 championships and no finals MVP. Too bad the serpent will finish his career with one tainted ring and thats all he ruined his legacy for.

And what about the cocky warriors fan base? Oooh if only I could see these people in person to see them shriek and shudder. What better satisfaction than seeing them eat their words? I reckon the lot of them are crying and looking for which bandwagon to jump on next, the soft ninnies. grin

And as I sit here in anticipation of the king basically dancing to his fourth ring I know that these are moments one must savour in life and that there is no better moment to open up a bottle of sparkling black currant juice than now.

It's over for you bums, I win, like I always do.

Honestly, I am shocked Embiid has played this much this season. He is showing some improved durability, however, it would be interesting to see if he survives the rigors of the post season which would be his first experience.

You predicted Lebron will be MVP come June.

You predicted Cavs will win 60 games "countem".

We marked your words on the matter. You scored a big fat F.

Next.

It definitely did not look like grade 2 but I think they had to claim it was grade 2 to force more rest out of him for long term purposes and to re-awaken the rest of the team that may have been depressed following his injury.

As for Harden and OKC, take it from me. I won't lose sleep over them. I fear Portland with Nurkic more because he is way better than our centers both in the post and in being less clumsy.

Rockets have a tie breaker sure. But the 3 ties do not tell the full story just looking at it as a 2-1 record in their favour. We are pounding them game 1 at the oracle, 14 points ahead by quarter 3 and then Draymond gets injured and we lose by 1. Next time we play on their ground, KD and Harden are out, we win by 10. 3rd and final game (at their ground again) was the game they are playing us off the park and up by 17. 4th quarter comes and we are 3 points ahead.

Curry makes 2 "somehow" decisions in passing to Klay at the 3 rather than KD for the easy deuce and Rockets make us pay for it. They see out that game through FTs and win by 7 or 8. So the tie-breakers are not enough to judge us against them. They are one injury away from not even making the 2nd round. If CP3 is out and they play Utah Jazz in the first round, they could lose.

As for OKC, their length and Adams can worry us but they are a streaky team. Apart from game 1 where the reffing was just ediotic, game 2 they are hitting everything and deserve their win fully. That is my point. They will have 1 or 2 very good games in a 6 game series and can win us. But I cannot give them 4 of those games out of 7. They are not that consistent.

I fear Portland because I have seen them keep up with good western teams even when CJ and Dame have bad games.

Well he ran his mouth and now the fight is in "Jeopardy". He said people are trying to pretend as if it's not happening, meaning he doesn't want them to and wants the authorities to take action meaning maybe he doesn't want the fight after all.

GGG doesn't have a record of ducking? Excuse me? Ward? Lara? Or are you a GGG zealot?
When a guy trying to take your head off is caught doping I think you have a right to air your opinion out. There would be no problems if Clenbuterelo had just stayed clean. He broke the rules and the fight potentially being off is a consequence of that.

This is on Canelo not GGG. Do not twist the narrative.

Lol it's not ducking if you simply can't agree on terms. This is boxing not a street fight you know. GGG was not the one hiding behind a bum shoulder and other stories that touch when GGG wanted a fight in 2014. Lara is small fry with guys like Canelo and Cotto on the table.

Back to GGG vs Ward. I wouldn't put money on GGG winning that fight but I disagree he was ducking

Don't mind me. Even on Facebook, it's hidden cause I feel it takes an effort to actually greet someone even though Facebook has notified them but by not hhaving a reminders on a social media site. And I got just 3 calls today from friends apart from my family members sad

Grimy but lack proper offensive talent especially without Kyrie. Philly has the offensive talent plus length at every position. They're one free agent away from becoming a force but I know they'll surprise some people this year. If I were them, I'd be going after Paul George or trying to use the resources they have to try to go after kawhi and depending on how things pan out for the warriors (it won't end well, mark me), maybe even klay Thompson.
That lack of talent would show against the Raptors, Cavs, Houston and Golden State but not a young inconsistent team like Philly who despite their length aren't really a good defensive team. Ohh the future is very bright for Philly nobody disputes that but they would definitely endure growing pains, even Golden State did

Now if Boston's players keeps dropping like flies then of course Philly become favorites

See? I guess he doesn't want to go ahead regardless of whether canelo is doping or not like you claimed.

Ward picked kovalev apart, he will do the same to triple G and he knows it.
