Oh wow. And on a contract season too

Yeah that sucks. He'll still get paid.

Probably better for the Cavs to be bad for another year too (although they already got bigs and this is a big heavy draft).

 

[Tetsujin]

As terrible as Luke has been, there is a distinct chance Frank Vogel gets canned before him.

Pretty sure the same people calling for Monte’s head for not trading Barnes for Nesmith would be calling for Monte’s head had we ended up getting Nesmith on the team. The dude just does not seem to have it.

Looking at his face he has a legit reason to be pissed. Yikes.

I wonder if Stewart got concussed and went bonkers. Looking at the replay Brons shot wasn't that dirty. I guess Baby Ben doesn't fall too far from that tree, haha.

Seems like a multi game suspension for James. Although maybe he really wants to distance himself from this year's Lakers team...

Can we get Isaiah Stewart on our team?

oh nooooooo Cade

 

[kingsboi]

look at that. Wiggins was considered a disappointment for many years in Minnesota but it seems he's really coming around in Golden State now

 

[kingsboi]

saw one tweet about Bron hitting Stewart, anyone got a video of it? Dude was bleeding so he was ready for a brawl

 

[iowamcnabb]

I wonder if Stewart was mad at Lebron or someone else. He initially seemed upset but then got really heated later.

You know who I blame for that.

whos that?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

whos that?

If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times: every negative criticism that people think is true about DeMarcus Cousins, as a basketball player, is actually true about Karl-Anthony Towns, aka Big Sawfty.

why so much dislike for KAT?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I thought the video spoke for itself. My bad. In a remarkable change of pace, I don't feel like doing this tonight, so let's just say that I don't like the cut of his jib, and leave it at that.

In the league, currently? I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of Anthony Davis.

how come?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

how come?

They talk about the guy like he's the next big thing, and he can't even create his own shot, nor does he make his teammates better. He's annoyed me ever since he was named to the 2012 Olympic team.

Understood. So two Kentucky guys thus far. Anyone else?

I don't think it's that they are Kentucky guys that unites them, it's that they are "big men" who don't play like big men but get treated by the NBA media as the best big men in the association. I don't pretend to speak for Slim but big men, kinda his thing.

so then I ask, what is an ideal big man supposed to play like in this era? Joel Embiid? Nikola?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I respect Jokic, but Embiid is definitely more relevant to my interests.

Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is dealing with a nerve issue in his back that could jeopardize his season, league sources told The Denver Post.

The Nuggets have been vague about specifics of the injury and when Porter might be expected back. They have given him a timeline of a week to show improvements before considering other treatment options. Another back surgery is a possibility, sources said.

Porter botched a layup attempt in the first quarter against Houston on Nov. 6, exacerbating a back injury that he’s had all season. He has not played since then.

The Nuggets signed Porter to a five-year max contract in late September. A large portion of the contract – $145 million – is guaranteed.

Through nine games this season, Porter was averaging just 9.9 points on only 36% shooting from the field. He was connecting on only 21% of his 3-pointers so far this season, too.

whenever you start talking about nerve issues and sensitivity that's when things really get scary for a person. Now we see why teams let him drop to Denver.
