Yes, and it was ugly. Slipped just a bit, broke his leg.

I'll never understand how things like that can be so off. Who is making that thing? Where were the renderings? Who was approving it? Who OK'd sticking with that for the unveiling?

There are a lot of funny tweets and memes about the D-Wade statue.

The Nuggets are really bad this year, and I don't want to play armchair GM but I don't understand anybody who saw them drop Brown and KCP in consecutive years and still had them in contender tier before the season.

At this point, how bad are the Jamal Murray and MPJ contracts? They are both young still, but those look like potential albatrosses.

Cute how the Clippers are trying to piggyback off the nickname.

If the refs allow the Clippers to grab, hold, push and trip their oppenents all over the floor, on and off the ball, then it's pretty hard to overcome that advantage.

Let's make it that the Suns have 2 more wins in the Intuit Dome than the Clippers. Or the Suns get a 2nd win in the building before the Clippers get even get their first.
