I think Luka's taken over the "hated by everyone" title that used to be reserved for Book.

Luka, Harden, Poole, Pat Bev, Ja

My least favorite players in the league

I’d swap Harden and Poole for Brooks and Klay and you’d have mine.

Oo I forgot about Brooks. He’s my sixth man.

I don’t hate Klay. I think he’s grown salty through his injuries but at least he’s accomplished a lot to back up his talk.

Poole is basically Kelly Oubre, except relevant because he’s not in Charlotte.

I don’t hate anyone I’ve just never really liked Klay and his recent saltiness has exacerbated that feeling for me haha. I think part of it was because everyone seemed to love him.

Bad news for Memphis: Steven Adams is out for the playoffs with his knee injury. That is a tough loss for them.

Huge loss for them. I hate all these late season injuries. Except for the Grizz. Fuck them.

Adams has been out for awhile…he got hurt against us

I think the Mavs get fined. The NBA will usually let teams/players get away with stuff as long as they're not broadcasting what they're doing. But with Kidd's comments after the game and all the attention around the lineups and Luka playing a few minutes, the NBA will punish them over something like the "spirit of competition".

I hope they investigate the mavs and do more than fine them…. Pretty sure the knicks feel pretty pissed. If Luka wasn’t hurt, why only play him the first quarter? I’d argue if they really needed to rest luka, the first three quarters would make more sense to rest, then the last three quarters given how much of a clutch player luka is…. This story is going to blow up more as time goes on.

Cubans still pissed about losing Brunson to the knicks and will be damned if he’s giving them a lottery pick too…. Lol

It sucks, but so many teams are tanking. You can’t punish Dallas for just being a little more obvious than the other 10 teams losing on purpose. If the nba doesn’t want tanking they need to do something more drastic with the lotto rules.

A little?! Oh, yes, you very much can and they probably will.

You really think they will? Maybe they fine them some small amount, but nothing substantial will happen.

Yeah, you're right. Probably not something substantial. Should be interesting.

Well they’ll have to make someone the example and who better than Mavs and Cuban?

I like seeing the Knicks somewhat relevant again…. Feels like they’ve struggled since the Ewing/starks/Oakley era.

Dwayne Casey and Stephen Silas out as head coaches. Casey's moving to the Pistons' FO.

Kinda funny how Mike Conley is the only guy to ever “get along with” Rudy Gobert.
