    I was watching this last night.

    So I am going to knock this down.  Adebayo will be forgotten when he retires except for this. Odd that he caught fire and did this, well actually not.  There is no defense in the NBA now.
    Did not have that on my bingo card for next person to get over 80 points.

    43 field goal attempts and 43 free throws is ridiculous.  pretty much any player in the league getting 43 shots would score a shit load of points.  And intentionally fouling to get him more shots is bush league.  I love hoops and always preferred college hoops but never in my life has the NBA been a bigger joke that it is right now.  These pussies can't even play a full season.  sad what this generation of players, especial LeBron (don't ever compare him to Jordan) and Adam Silver have done to this game.

    Agree.

    About LeBron.  I was a huge advocate for him.  He was on course to be the best player ever.  Of course that has wilted over time.  Is he an all-time great?  Sure.  Better than Jordan? Nope. Unless he wins a few more titles on his way out.

    When he played lock down defense I was sure he'd be the best.  Then I watched him playing in the finals PASSING up the ball.  Teammates gave it back and he rifled it back to them, egging his teammates to DO SOMETHING.

    The greats take up the challenge all on their own.  They want that ball and don't want any help.

    Then there was their losses to the Mavs and the Spurs 2nd time, first time he gets a pass.

    I don't mind the flops, it's part of the game now, it is what it is.

    Jordan 1, LBJ 2.

    Kobe fanboys are a hilarious bunch. The reaction to this was laughable. As if Kobe even had the record for most points in a game.

    It was probably kind of fluky but I can't say how much defense the Knicks (Knicks right?) were playing in Hershey, PA in 1963 or whenever it was.

    Watched the Cavs/Magic game last night.  The amount of 3's people chuck up rather than get an EZ 2 is really ruining the game.

    I am curious on how bad 3point shooting is in the NBA and to how amazing the Splash Brothers were and how everyone has tried to emulate that now.

    Looking at the playoff brackets I don't see anyone in the East having a chance in the Finals against a West team.

    If Wemby is out for a bit you can kiss their playoff run goodbye.  He face planted and is out w a concussion.

    Lebron found the fountain of youth. Up 2-0. I'd love to see what type of matchup they have in rd 2 when everyone comes back healthy.

    I still like OKC.

    In the East Cleveland looks good but i don't trust them just like you can't trust the Knicks.

    Orlando had a good run. I don't think Pablo can carry them any further.

    Spurs young core is …. Omg how can’t anyone see this coming, what a performance last night by Dylan Harper… that kid is fuckin phenomenal .. he has so much twitch to his game… a lefty too. Thanks to Scoot … talking shit turned Dylan into a cyborg that fuckin took over… 20 fuckin yrs old . 

    Castle… what a dog, his drives to the basket and defense are insane. What a leader too… 21 yrs old

    That win  last night being down on the road, without Wemby is remarkable. Carter Bryant… their 2nd 1st rd pick this year has Kawhi Leonard Wing defender potential… won’t  be as good offensively, but he can still be a stud. Vassell/ Kelvin Johnson as 6th man of the year…. Fox to me is expendable after this year, they just traded for him last year but u gotta get Harper in the starting 5 next year. Fox is good, sometimes his lil frame gets backed down by bigger pgs … kornet  great back up center/ Champagne straight from St. John’s .. dude hits 3s in his sleep 

    it’s great for basketball and anyone outside of NY/LA to see what actual basketball looks like. The potential here is crazy, they are more talented than any Spurs title team… not as good yet… but wayyy more talented. Mitch Johnson a good young coach and Pop still lurks.

    the Atmosphere in SA is amazing… Austin not too far, IDK if they will win it all this year .. they def could but they are set up for another big window 

    Durant n LeBron can go and bounce around the league while Wemby takes what’s his… Wemby is more focused than pothead Durant and 100x more polished in his shot than Watch your eyes for Lebrons ugly ass shot 

    If you love basketball… start watching them 

    90% of the league is trash

    First three quarters was a rough watch! Glad my Raps got the win though. Scottie Barnes is a monster the last three games.

    Spurs are fun again 

    lots of 1st rd picks next 5 yrs/ swaps with a few shit teams …. This could be one of the most talented Cores ever built coming up together… I fuckin love it. I hope they can get my ass down to SA/Austin in June 😎 between that & World Cup I’m gonna be my own economic stimulus package 

    I wanna see Wemby and Chet go at it… it’s cool to see someone master their craft. I know  jokic  and Sga score more… but if you can’t see how this motherfucker affects the game like no other before him…  and that is the most impactful player in the league. 

    The Spurs combo of guards is ridiculous :  you can rest guys and still not lose a beat… I’ve been a fan since late 80s… David Robinson was a great role model by just finishing his Navy commitment … and what an athlete.. then Tim now this… I love seeing it done right.  

    It’s really great to have this at This time for me… a great run can help lift your spirits 😊

    keep going… I need some tacos and tequila in June

    Wemby will be the best center in the league in a year or two.

    I never thought he would be this good or be around this long.

    I eat my words.  I was wrong.

    He is special.

    So.  West should breeze to the championship.  Cant see an East team doing any damage.
