Some Lakers drama. Could be nothing, could be something. Notice Vanderbilt slyly stop Luka from walking up on JJ.

Love a pouting Doncic and Lakers' drama is my favorite drama.

He's always been kind of a drama queen. I still wish the Suns would have drafted him, though.

I wish we would’ve traded down with Dallas to 5 for a haul and taken SGA

I think we all would. But talk about a butterfly effect! Could Book and Doncic co-exists? Do we still go to the Finals? Does Chris Paul still arrive?

Book worked with KD, he worked with Paul, hr would have been fine with Luka, Sarver and McD were just idiots.

I think the answers are: yes, probably, and no.

This Lakers team’s vibes are like the poor man’s 24-25 Suns. Not quite as stinky, but from the same toxic brew.

That's a good and interesting comparison. Both teams are top-heavy, lacking in depth. Both have two stars where it's a bit unclear which one is the alpha / leader, where it isn't 100% clear they play well together. Both teams seem to wilt or choke in some big games and seem like unlikely contenders despite big hype. And both teams have underachieving centers, in fact, both teams have underachieving DeAndre Ayton if you set the time boundary properly.

Sounds like Jayson Tatum is back. Big news for the Celts. They couldn't have asked for a better season in terms of their record so far, and if Tatum can play well, they're a real contender. Almost unimaginable given where they ended last season. Hope he can stay healthy.

Things are going good enough for them, they shouldn't risk him on average season games, but if the title greedy is too much, bring him back for the last ten games to get his legs. I like the guy and wouldn't like to see him returning one game too early

100% true.
But also, maybe he's tweeted under a different burner....
