I'm rooting for Russell but not being able to break past 20mins on the Nets in his third year isn't looking too good. Maybe he really doesn't have LEADERSHIP mentality

He was legitimately looking pretty good before he blew up his knee. Since then......poo poo.

idk to me it seems strange to wish that the Warriors hadn't blown a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals despite having the first unanimous MVP, when in fact the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals despite having the first unanimous MVP to me.

i know it's silly but every time debut starts come up I think of how blessed we were to witness the greatest debut game of all time, 22 points (6-10 shooting, 4-6 from three), 12 assists, 7 rebounds, 9 steals, 0 blocks, 1 turnover, scored the final two points for his team to seal the win against the league's best player coming off a championship season

I wonder where Cedi sits in the whole Hedo/Erdo----Kanter/Gulen beef.
On one hand, Erdogan is decimating Turkish democracy and Kurdish enclaves...on the other hand, Enes Kanter is and has always been lame af and Hedo is that dude.
