Brooklyn vs Utah a tank battle. Plenty of players already ruled out. Who can tank better?

And now Da Silva back in the locker room after 30 seconds. Insane year

 

[Scythe]

And now Goga's hurt too. This is unreal

Boston is either already looking to finals or just have horrible defensive awareness right now.

Should be streaks ahead against New Orleans

 

[Jack Richards]

Boston: Let's try for 4x 3pt attempts in a row...

Brick all 4...

 

[Jack Richards]

Celtics need to stop with the high 3pt attempts...

9/32 early in the 3rd quarter...

They just want to live and die by the 3. Problem is we don’t have a real captain out there to take charge and say **** that change it up with middies or drive to the hole.

Live and die by the 3.

 

[Memphis]

Okc putting the wizards to the sword.

Kuz isn’t helping his trade stock.

 

[srobbo]

What a shit show that last 30 secs was. Pair of Tatum missed FT’s to put game away & then 5 sec violation TO to give CJ a lay up to win the game & he missed.

This team is back to playing selfish, lazy ball. Any team could beat them on any given day right now.

And the W. The heart of this team is unmatched

Penn & Teller might have the answer.

Sources: LiAngelo Ball signs $13M music deal

LiAngelo Ball has signed a deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group, a representative from his label Born2Ball Music Group says, and sources tell ESPN it is worth as much as $13 million, with $8 million guaranteed.

Sources told ESPN the deal is worth as much as $13 million, with $8 million guaranteed, and gives Ball full ownership of music and his own record label. Ball has a second song to follow the debut of "Tweaker" in the near future as well.

ANT surely going for the record of most fines in a year. He is racking em up daily now

Power of Friendship baby. But more accurately, we have pretty absurd depth. When we were fully healthy, Goga, Cole Anthony and Da Silva were third stringers. Even Queen on a two-way contract has been fantastic. Roster is genuinely 16-deep which helps.

I'd been praying that they'd make a consolidation trade before the injury crisis happened, but it turns out our depth has been the one thing that's kept our team afloat.

Can't dismiss the value of having a locker room that genuinely loves and cares for each other though. Don’t think I've seen a more tightly-knit sporting team, which is hard to do with the fluidity of player movement/egos in the NBA.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Agree with the above. For me Cole Anthony is good enough to play 30 mins a game in like 20 different teams and he was getting DNPs

They have also got the right balance. 3 Cs, 3 SG, 3 PG. Too many teams lose a guy like KD then chuck a SF at that spot as opposed to well another PF.

I feel like only about 5 or so rosters got the balance right and most are doing well. OKC, Celtics, Rockets etc

Look at teams like Denver/Buck's who have no balance for what happens when you dont

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

You know you got issues when Draymond Green is calling you unhinged and needing help. Apparently, Jusuf Nurkic swung at a member of staff, got pushed to the ground and started bawling his eyes out. I imagine he is away from the team for the rest of the year and the like which is a big issue for them also.

Is LeBron James playing tonight or is he a late out?

 

[Nicho50]

Bad loss for the Knicks after a dominant performance yesterday. Pistons are much improved but still needed to win that.

 

[Scythe]

Terrific by the Pistons down the stretch. Malik Threesley is the truth
