Luka just hit a 40 foot 3pt shot.  Nothing but net. Ridiculous.

In honor of Moranis:  Lebron had his worst shooting game since 2007.  He still went 3-for-14.

Is Moranis ok? I know people think we hate each other or whatever but we actually don?t. Hope he is in good health and happy.

Hope everyone is doing well and it's just difficulties signing in and posting that have contributed to quieter discussions that usual.
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much--the wheel, New York, wars and so on--whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man--for precisely the same reason.

The NBA has fined the Philadelphia 76ers $100,000 for public statements around health status of All-NBA center Joel Embiid, sources tell ESPN.

Sources said the NBA?s investigation showed that the Sixers did not violate player participation policy with Embiid?s missed games, but in fact with the public comments that did not properly reflect his health issues with his knee.

I wonder if that is a gambling thing. Accurate info required for betting market.

Jokic has some ridiculous stat lines.

29 points 18 rebounds 16 assists

That is one heck of a triple double.

Wizards reject 4th year option on Johnny Davis. The 10th overall pick in the draft 3 years ago. Busted flush.

Cavs smoked the Lakers...they are pretty good with Donovan healthy again. With Mobley and Allen, they each had 20+. Did the C's really get lucky last year with the injuries is gonna be the theme

Who was injured on the Mavs? They were the best team to come out of the West.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Someone needs to tell Wemby that he?s a big, not a wing.

Holmgren and Wemby do not like each other. Love it.

Also, we were super lucky losing KP.  I'm sure a 20 point, 6 rebound rim protector wouldn't have helped at all.

I'm glad Sparz is here to remind us of all the "themes" of why our championship doesn't count.

Have you seen this Dwayne Wade statue they just unveiled in Miami honoring their all-time leading scorer ?
Lawdy, Lawdy, it is ugly and does not look like him. Looks more like some tormented soul suffering in Hell.

I don't understand that statue at all. The pose is horrible. What is he doing? Jumping up celebrating? Is that it? Why not make a statue of him dribble turning the corner. He has such an iconic driving posture with how low he gets it. Why show him in a non-playing posture?

And what the heck did they do his face? Atrocious.

The Cavs are going to be that team that goes all in for a top seed in the East and ends up getting bounced in round 2.

9 turnovers 2nd game
7 turnovers 3rd game
5 turnovers 4th game
5 turnovers 5th game
