now kd is exhausted with mvp++ production and harden is just good rather than mvp so they run up the flag

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Only LA players and L.A. native sons have clawed their way off the protocols. Pacific Ocean just makes us tougher.

Lol nets. What a bad look.

Also bringing in an unvaccinated player because too many players are testing positive is probably not a good idea but what do I know.

It's like a 100% chance Kyrie tests positive for COVID at least once this season, and most likely multiple times with omicron running wild. Not sure bringing him back even means he'll be available.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

assuming he's available for the next away game @Portland, there are 24 games between now and the end of the season that he'll be able to play in, but of the final 8 games on the schedule he'll only be on the court for one (in Atlanta), and this means that he's only around for away games in the playoffs too

Sports media is among the worst "specialized" media in the world. Given our current predicament, their interests directly align with ownership and it is insanely disrespectful and reckless to send a covid suicide bomber into the game for everyone to get sick. I hope the players have some sense and object to this.

Make all NBA owners sit next to the unvaccinated NBA players on the bench forthwith. The league will be shut down in a day again.

Nets are back in top villain form. Their inevitable defeat by Phoenix/SF/Milwaukee will be all the sweeter. If Kyrie still isn't vaccinated by the playoffs and the Nets lose any home games, it will be amazing.

Trying to use lineup on/off like that across the entire season is not a great stat. Patrick Beverly is +5.7 in that metric, which is like a 55 win season. Every team has players and lineups that would be "the best in the NBA". Jokic is having a MVP-type season again for sure but there's way better ways of showing it.

I checked the numbers and they seem okay. The same methodology would predict the Cavaliers would win ~20 games per year if LBJ left the team in 2011. And that's what happened.

Why is the Timberwolves HOME game which is played in Central Standard Time playing at 9pm tonight? Is this just so the Lakers fans can enjoy it at 7pm on the west coast? I'm confused. Was this a flex to national tv or something?
