NBA Season 2021-22

Jonathan Kuminga is so much fun to watch.

Raptors and Cavs both lost. Nets look like they'll lose, and the Bulls are in a close one against the Thunder. That's good news!

Embiid with a 40pt triple double.  A 7'2" 280lb center should not be able to lead the fast break and do a fake-pass dribble like this.

Lakers Big 3 not enough to stop Klay Thompson's 33 points and his Warriors tonight. Gratifying.

[Surferdad]

How can LeBron/Davis Lakers be this bad?

The rest of the team is atrocious. Right there alongside Jokic's Nuggets supporting cast.

who just beat a red-hot Toronto team.  Jokic for MVP.

He’s having a monstrous year. He’s truly an amazing player when healthy. It’s all up to weather his body can hold up. He’s been healthy so far this year which always gives me pause. I don’t want to say he due for an injury but it is hard to argue that it won’t happen based off his history which is an absolute shame considering the way he is playing.

Lebron is so unclutch with FTs lol. Like yesterday when he got fouled, I don't think anyone (not even Lakers fans) expected him to make all 3, and then he immediately clanks the 1st one.

My bigger takeaway from yesterday and really most of this season though, yeah  Westbrook hasn't been great and has definitely cost them some games this season. But I thought the broadcast did a good job saying that Westbrook really hasn't been much different than last year and his ideal role seems to be a bit different with the Lakers than with other teams which is an adjustment.

The biggest takeaway should be, Anthony Davis is soft. Period. He's been very, very disappointing this season and even Lakers fans friends of mine agree. Just look at how bad Giannis punked him the other night too. Idk what's happened but since the bubble he's been really meh. It's also clear he can't carry a team even when Lebron's out for some stretches.

For all the talk of AD being one of the "all-time greats" in NBA history or Top-5 in the NBA, yeah that's laughable.

During the pregame today on ABC they were talking about how Zack LaVine might go get another opinion on his knee. It's been determined that Zack will miss the next two games before the All-Star game but will play in the ASG.

Kemba Walker should call up Zack LaVine or the Bulls front office and let them know what a truly awful idea that is.

Yeah.  You want to go to the ASG? Cool.  But don’t play.

I mean, if we're Celtics fans, then by all means, go play in the ASG lol!

But as a person, for his well-being he should just sit it out.

Embid also played on an injured knee in the all star game in a few years and potentially contributed to him missing a lot of time. I don’t really get it. These guys can still go there and party. Why run around and dunk in a exhibition game?

[Kiorrik]

C'mon guys.

I don't buy that nobody understands how much it means to these kids to play in the all-star game.

[Roy H.]

C'mon guys.

I'm sure it means a lot to some of them.  But does it mean more than their career? 

If you can't play in regular season games, it's not worth playing through pain / injury in an exhibition.  Go to the game, stand on the sidelines during the dunk contest, etc.  But don't risk your career.  That's especially true because Lavine got to play in last year's game.

While that sounds dramatic, Kemba is such an obvious example.  Who knows if it did any long-term damage?  Maybe it didn't, but it possibly did.  It was a bad decision, both at the time and in hindsight.

To me there is nothing less interesting than the NBA All Star game. I haven’t watched the game since 2009, and feel like I have missed absolutely nothing.

NHL All-Star game?  Pro Bowl?
