If youre reading this please remember to root for the good guys in the playoffs this year and its certainly not okc, gsw or lal
West: OKC
East: Detroit / Knicks
It really is that simple.
2:50 JDub is at 26.5ppg in games with SGA out this season, they've won all 4 of those games. Before the Hamstring, JDub was really starting to look like he was back to himself. With the hand he probably won't be 100% until sometime next season, but he's been pretty good still. His issue more relies on when he plays with force and drives hard or not. He's unstoppable when he does, and pretty average when he's getting hacked with no calls because he stops driving hard. He needs to just push through that. He's also had two instances where players (Ayton/Brooks, give Ayton more benefit of the doubt than Brooks) consciously or unconsciously targeted and slapped that injured hand hard after plays were over.
roids R why father time hasn't caught up with LBJ
No clippers mention? Wow😂
Lol, Iman just call him Wemby…
Learn to say his name dumba$$
Steph in a second half contenders thumbnail and no Ant Man????
On the retarded thumbnail to this video, two fakers are featured. They don't have a shot in hell of getting out of the first round (IF they make the playoffs). They feature three guys who don't play DEFENSE and nobody's EVER introduced Luka to defense. Luka doesn't even include the "D" in his last name. There are SO MANY players they could have featured. This is the reason for this post.
I bet Iman paid $200 for that tie. C'mon MAN!!!😶
How refreshing to have real people talking real basketball about the NBA. ESPN, more of this, please!
I
Love
