I also think they need to fill air time, and with the regular season losing importance, the biggest story is player movement. Harden and Kyrie have been goldmines for that. With the ring culture, everything is about the playoffs and the regular season drama isn't really there.

Just sit back and enjoy that so far, Giannis has made everyone look silly by going against the narrative.

Jokic is ridiculous.  How do you guard the guy?

Giannis said he did not even know the value of contract extension he signed

I think, for the first time LBJ looks old to me. Not bad, just old.

Anthony Davis also looked outclassed by Jokic.

0 points in the 2H. Impressive.  :o

Zero??  I didn't even realize that.   I have no idea how you guard Nikola.  He's tremendously skilled and seems to be able to bully anyone he wants.

Dude is a handful. Even speed doesn't phase him.

Exactly.  He's always under control and if you double he'll just shred the defense.  No offense to Jimmy Buckets but that's not a guy I would fk with physically either.

It doesn't look like the Bucks will miss Grayson Allen.

I didn't see one second of the game, but I did just read the guy in The Athletic saying, "LeBron James still looks great." His exact words. Doesn't mean you are wrong and he is right, just relaying a different POV.

Wouldn't surprise me if he looks old, though. He is ancient by NBA standards.

He'll be haunting the shut and dribble crowd at least through next season

But if they find themselves in a situation where they need that particular skill, who do they have who can deliver an effective nut punch or trip someone? Any chance they'll get Davison on a two-way?

Thats just part of the trope with Lebron though.  Every year its "Year (insert what number season it is)!" whenever he makes an athletic play.

He didn't look bad, but he definitely looked slow of foot, especially defensively.  And not in a "Lebron plays lazy defense to save energy" way like he has the last few years, but rather just not quick enough on rotations and such.

I agree he still will play at least another year after this, but it will be very interesting to see him come Feb/Mar, I think his legs are gonna be REALLY heavy.

Hmmm...NBA or NFL? NFL or NBA?

Myles Garrett just became a part owner of the Cavs. Hopefully that means he'll stick around Cleveland for a bit longer.

Why did the tweet call him a minority partner instead of just a partner, hmm? Makes you think

That's what I saw and not as assertive on offense. He had a nice drive and slam in the 2H but he didn't get much above the rim.

Just amazing what he has accomplished. True legend.

Thanks for providing good context re LeBron, Wags and WT.

His individual defense is getting worse every year( to be expected). But his team defense is still outstanding.

As far as Feb/Mar, I 'think' he'll probably be OK as I expect his minutes will be down this year due to the team having the same concerns that you talked about.

Wemby vs Omax as soon as this game is over.

Bulls an impressive 6-23 from 3.

But, P. Williams on pace for 12pts, 0 rebs and 26 min.
