So, now more like a broke man’s Dwayne Wade.

Watching some of these games and seeing the waves of emotion in the crowds REALLY makes me miss playoff basketball.

Kevin Love and J.R. Smith are a combined 2/19 tonight (1/9 from 3). That's (one reason) why this game is tied with 33 seconds to go

LeBron keeps creeping closer and closer to Jordan status.

That block/buzzer beater combo was sick.

 

[Phrazbit]

LeBron... I mean... good lord. If he hadn't been stuck with such terrible rosters his first go in Cleveland he would be right there with Jordan in the "best ever" debate.

He could’ve been there had he not been outscored by Jason Freaking Terry in the NBA Finals.

that's definitely a black spot on his resume.

Kevin Love is just a shadow now. We have to remember to not go chasing declining vets.

Yeah, I'll bet Carmelo Anthony is more than available. What a disaster.

Never bought into his hype. Even when he was putting up ridiculous stat padded numbers.

Shocker though that a guy with good passing skills, shooting touch and High basketball IQ is unsuccessful with his Lack of athleticism.

As was his brilliant goaltend on Oladipo

Lol it’s easy to put a guy down when he’s playing with basically a broken hand.

I’ll give him credit for playing through it unlike that POS in San Antonio who spends more time “rehabbing” in NY than supporting his own teammates.

Watching OKC-Utah 2nd half w/ fresh eyes, thought Donovan made some nice adjustments -- more switching on defense, more shooting on offense. Lots of Grant again. Got Utah out of rhythm. Russ was ridiculous.

I am not familiar with his injury status, I am just reacting to what I see on th court, not just now but for quite a while. And a comparison with Kahwi was no where in my thinking.

That said, I am not a big fan of pursuing Kahwi. His absence. The news today about wanting Pop to change how he does practices if he comes back, you have a player telling the best coach in the game to change his tune. Not a good look. Maybe Kahwi needs a hall pass at times because of his particular health concerns but if that is the case, trading for him might not be wise, especially with what we have to give up.

Wow. That ball was clearly coming off the glass.

 

[GatorAZ]

That’s a tough call in real time especially since it’s below the rim.

 

[leclerc]

LeQuack always gets the call so just more of the same bull**** the league does to make zzzuperstars.

Stephen Curry went through his first full practice today and is listed as questionable for Game 1 on Saturday against New Orleans.

you mean like the play right before where the Pacers knocked the ball out of bounds and they called it off LeBron?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Wow. That ball was clearly coming off the glass.

yeah... in super slow-mo. NBA refs don't have that luxury watching games live.
