Jokic brothers going to be in some trouble

Oh, no. That can't happen. Jokic is going to have to talk to his brothers. I guess it doesn't matter if they're in jail.

Jokic brothers going to be in some trouble

depends on the context... we are talking about Lakers fans.

Oh, excellent point. Never mind.

I'm impressed with how well that guy ate the punch, and the most likely context is that everyone involved is an asshole.

This statement is universally true.

Dunno if this has been posted here yet. Oubre seems to be a reckless driver.

Sixers stay in their series by winning Game 3 at home. Embiid also had a dirty play:

Steph Curry is selected as the "Clutch Player of the Year." Pretty stupid meaningless award, but congrats I guess.

Didn't even know this was a thing.

Spoiler: show/hide

That's an ejection during the regular season.

I'm glad they didn't eject him, but it doesn't excuse him for being incredibly stupid in that situation. In some ways it makes up for being robbed in Game 2.

Didn't even know this was a thing.

Probably because it's a completely objective award determined by a metric. It's an even bigger waste of hot air than Jalen Brunson's MVP candidacy.

[Flagrant Fowl]

This is so random.

There was a slowmo replay and caught it in the background…. Thought it was just one of those funny facial emotions they catch in the slow play back but now makes sense. Crazy.

Nice to see Denver beat the Lakers, 112-105, last night. They're now up 3-0 and may sweep. Everybody overrates the Lakers every year, but Lebron can't carry mediocre teams to titles any more at this point of his career.

[Mori Chu]

Orlando was really uninspiring in the first two games against Cleveland, but the Magic crushed the Cavs last night 121-83. What a swing that was. Magic are young and inexperienced, so maybe they just play a lot better at home. I picked them to win their series (oops?) so it was nice to see them show up.

Philly and Orlando are examples we should look at for inspiration. A series isn't over at 0-2. We now get two games at home in front of our own crowd. Let's see if we can tie this thing up.

Lakers get swept, Suns draft Bronny and LeBron opts out and signs here for the vet min to form the most unlikable super team ever.

[Split T]

Add CP3 to the bench as well

Might as well be a retirement home.

‘Bone, you looking for roomies?

No. Especially not pussies like them!
