I bet he goes to Wizards for CJ and filler.

I've always liked CJ McCollum but he is not a youngster anymore.

I've always liked CJ McCollum but he is not a youngster anymore.

He's expiring, Hawks are doing good. Vet to boost this season's playoffs. Seems like a good fit for this season.

NBA admits the refs blew the call on the play that got Kerr ejected it was in fact a goaltend.

I still don't understand how the Lakers are still top 3 in the west.

Strength of schedule.

 

[Yuma]

We have the third hardest schedule in January out of the whole NBA.

We have the third hardest schedule in January out of the whole NBA.

I don't doubt it. Heavy schedule, lots of travel in addition to the tougher opponents.

I still don't understand how the Lakers are still top 3 in the west.

Their schedule has been as soft as it gets.

When they've bumped into the other legit playoff teams they've been getting absolutely drilled. They don't just lose, they're getting blown out.

Since the opening weeks, they've only got 2 wins against winning teams, one of them was their joke of a win vs us, the other they squeaked by the Sixers, and in that time frame they've been beaten by 15 or more 10 times (including twice by us).

I'm aware of the schedule they had up to this point, it was more or less a comment on how terrible they actually are.

Thats how delusional most Laker fans are. I can make a highlight video of me crossing over guys at the local Eos gym and if the Lakers signed me, the fans would think I might potential.

There is no fixing Ayton. He is high on his own koolaid. He thinks he is playing at an elite level already and doesn’t care to get better. I honestly don’t know how he is still in the league.

You can't teach 7'. This year he was a cheap option for a team like LA also. Being unexpectedly bought out by Portland looked more like a head scratcher by Portland also. He didn't need to seek a big deal since he was being paid already. Now another fanbase knows why.

Looks like Anthony Davis will be out again with possible ligament damage in his left hand.

Dallas fans must still be steaming about trading Luka and rightfully so.

The play it happens on is unreal. Like, there is no way anyone besides him gets injured there.

It seems like the most serious injuries happen this way.

 

[Yuma]

AD may be a HOF player, but if not, it's been injuries that have somewhat defined his career.

 

[Lorenzo]

AD is injured? Say it aint so!! He couldn't even make it until Irving came back. The dumb owner should have traded him by now. I'm not watching any games, but I have heard rumblings that they wanted to keep Davis and see how he, Irving, and Flagg look together. as if we didn't know how it would look...Irving and Flagg balling while Davis is cheering from the side.

 

[Lorenzo]

and Irving has been good in Dallas, better than initially expected. but he isn't known for being an iron man either.

you hate to see it

 

[Phrazbit]

Also, the Lakers lost, Luka was horrible, made a terrible foul that basically cost them the game and Ayton played so poorly he basically got benched in the 2nd half.

Lots to enjoy around the association tonight.

Not all that unreal. I expect any day to hear he choked to death eating strawberry jello or was trampled by a herd of rampaging rabbits. All we really know is that Davis will get injured, and soon.
