Jazz lose second straight home game - to Washington

I thought it was just going to be the Warriors and Suns that started taking nights off. Guess I was wrong.

Things are not happy in Laker land. It looked like an intentional foul by Lebron.

Vanderbilt was guarding Lebron full court that game at times. There was an instance late in the second quarter where lebron undercut Vanderbilt on a made shot. There were some words exchanged. All things considered, imo it was intentional.

On another note, Lebron looks to have quit. His body language in the third and fourth were pretty obvious that he thinks this team is done already.

It looked like it could have beeen a frustration foul by Lebron.

Vanderbilt was one of those players I was hoping would slip through the cracks in free agency.

Back to back home losses for the Jazz against some pretty lousy competition.

We smoked that Wizards team.

And LeBron has a history of that

I'm starting to worry about the Suns-Lakers game on Tuesday in LA if tempers flare.

It will be nationally televised on TNT.

To be fair the Wizards were on the 2nd of a B2B when we smoked them. They likely would have put up a better fight with a day of rest before playing us.

The Suns owe some thanks to Bradley Beal of the Wizards having a good game against the Jazz with 37 points and 7 assists.

He’s right, they are done.

Andrew Wiggins is out with health and safety protocols. The Suns play Warriors on Chrismas Day.

Or games. This stuff is spreading like crazy.

Charlotte timeout.

Suns lead 11-3.

Devin Booker is 0-3 but looks fresh and is active.

You’re in the wrong thread.

NBA teams can add a replacement player for a player who tests positive for COVID-19.

More details about replacement players pertaining to health and safety protocols.

Hardship signings will not impact salary cap and luxury tax.

Bulls Lakers

First half, Lebron throws a pass off Westbrooks foot, ball goes out of bounds.

Lebron starts crying to the refs and gets them to change the call. Such BS

On a good note, he walks off the court again. I don’t think he shook hands

It's a matter of time before he gets an "injury" that ends his season. I believe they're trying to improve their roster, somehow, but after it's clear that they won't be able to then LeBron will call it a season with some sort of injury.

The Grizzlies have quite the conundrum.

They're 9-11 when Morant plays, they went 10-2 while he was injured. When he sits they have one of the best defenses in the NBA, when he plays they're one of the worst.

Gotta imagine some of this will even out, they were a good defensive team last year so they clearly can play defense with Morant out there. If it doesn't they're going to have some tough choices to make.

Ja seems like a player that will have Injury's every year. Love him but he plays like KJ and drives to the hoop to much.

I thought he toned all of that down, where he would pull up for the floater or midrange. But he does leave the ground a lot allowing for injuries not near the hoop as well.

The Pelicans are signing Jared Harper to a two-way contract but will have to waive a two-way player to do so.

It sounds like the Suns could do something like this as well depending upon how they structured their two-way signings and were inclined.

Maybe the Hawks would rather be in a holding pattern than trying to replace these three players: Young, Gallinari and Capela.

I'm going to post this here as well.
