I just hope its an isolated thing and not a chronic issue.

Shutting it down halfway through the year should net them a real nice draft pick

Two first and a 2nd early in the 2nd round

Hope you all feel terrible about making fun of Wemby and Paul for their ASG performance when they were clearly both suffering from blood clots

Quote from: MU82 on February 19, 2025, 02:47:10 PMCyclical. And it happens in the NFL, NHL and MLB, too.

Oh, and the NBA doesn't consider the play-in round to be part of the playoffs. Meaning that the 7-10 teams in each conference technically aren't in the playoffs until they win the right to be included. Semantically silly, if you ask me ... but they didn't.

Not that it matters but the Chicago Bulls made the playoffs in 1986 at 30-52. Spurs made the playoffs in 1988 at 31-51.

Back when they played defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can bet that he would have, and I know Jordan would have as well.

Just read an article that recalled how Chris Bosh dealt with blood clots for years. He missed a ton of games his last two seasons before he had to retire at age 32.

Obviously hoping Wembanyama doesn't have to go through that.

A lot of people, some of whom may actually watch the NBA, have told me that's boring.

Draymond Green said it's boring.  Lol. 

Curry has 42 quarters of scoring 20+ points.  That's insane.

Quote from: Pakuni on February 27, 2025, 10:49:28 PMWarriors 7-1 with JFB.

I have been pretty consistent saying that Butler could lead a team to a title. That's why I thought the Suns would be the perfect destination - 2 huge stars, but no Alpha.

But he could be the difference in SF, as well.

He's still one of my least fave NBA players, though.

So when KD went to the Warriors and won 2 Finals MVPs in his first 2 years there before blowing out his achilles trying to come back from an injury too early he's a player that will never lead a team to a title, but when Jimmy Butler goes to the Warriors he'd be leading them to a title if they win one?

Jockey builds a lot of arguments that completely fall apart once logic and consistancy is applied.

Only to those that are stuck in conventional thinking.

2015 NBA Title - no Durant

2016 best record in NBA history - beaten in Finals by the Goat

2018 NBA title - Durant played great and helped them win title - did not LEAD them to title. Only the 2nd best player on the team.
