That embarrassing defense was preceded by an absolutely abysmal offensive possession by the Mavs.

That give me legit flashbacks to Mario Elie in 1995 that kind of quality defense though

Crazy how guys are literally flying to cities that day to play in a game that night. I like IT and hope he sticks, but also like seeing the Mavs lose.

It's pretty crazy what is going on right now in the league with COVID. Some teams like ATL have literally 3/4 of their roster out and his are meeting each other at the arena for the first time on game night. It's pretty bad that teams are being made to play games under such conditions. Does anybody benefit from this? Not the teams, and not the fans who have to watch subpar performances.

Tip of the Hat on a serious note
Some of his play has been outstanding although I still wondering if Jump Shooting Bron continues to be so successful.



Like last night he hit Eight 3s. Bron hit Eight 3s and only score 37 doesn't even seem accurate but that's more how he plays now. Either way if his stats are great for a 37yr old and the Losses still keep piling up, that's perfectly fine :evil:

I've watched large parts of 3 games he's played so far including the most recent in Dallas. Obviously he's tiny, buy his athleticism is gone and his shot is more unreliable than before.

That said, I don't think he'd be any worse than the average third point guard on a roster, but a lot of those guys are barely NBA players. I selfishly hope he keeps getting 10-day contracts from teams in the West because it's a sign that team is likely to lose games.

I used to think it was unlikely that LeBron would break Kareem's scoring record. But he's playing great this year and could pass it in just a few years' time if he can keep it up. And he's all but certain to pass Karl Malone. Pretty amazing.

Besides, Rondo is too young (35) for the Lakers.

I'm glad they traded Rondo. Rondo is the kind of weird player who stinks all season but then is still a pest if you face his team in the playoffs. The Lakers are worse without him. I love it.
