been Jokic all along NBA world's just waking up to it

[archibaldcrane]

Curry played like hot fucking dogshit yesterday and probably removed himself from any of the backdoor MVP talk that had been bubbling up.

It's gonna be Jokic unless he gets injured and Embiid gets to slide back into the conversation.

Giannis fucked Embiid's ass tonight, Sixers were never in the game.

I blame everyone thinking they're entitled to a heat check. Unless you're steph/dame/etc OR you're a mortal that hit 5+ in a row, you don't get a heat check

The LA Clippers are signing center DeMarcus Cousins for the rest of the season, sources tell ESPN.

Cousins' second 10-day contract expired Sunday. He signed his first 10-day contract with the team on April 5.

Like I get that he doesn't want to play for the Cavs, but that shit is so goddamn unprofessional it's amazing. Moreso when you consider the dude is still on a 30 mil a year contract until 2023

I'd say the Cavs should probably suspend him but maybe that's what he wants.

[Deejay]

Doesn’t he deal with depression and anxiety? Wondering if that has something to do with it

Draymond's skills and presence as a defensive player on the Warriors only works especially well with a backcourt like Steph and Clay. It's been stated before in the past, if he was on any other team up to this point, he wouldn't have as much usefulness on those teams due to his low scoring, especially since those teams wouldn't have a dominant backcourt.

tl:dr: The Warriors can put up with his poor shooting since he brings such great defense, only because their backcourt can make up the difference.

In the last game between the Spurs and Wizards, 5 players scored over 20 points with zero made 3 pointers. At total of 150 points no 3s. Crazy in this day.

Yo AG how about them suns

it's a lot of them good problems but holy fuck our fanbase is becoming annoying as shit. can barely stomach how Suns twitterers/redditors are reacting to the success. and it vexes that Chris Paul is receiving 100% of the credit for the turnaround as it shows how little anyone knows or pays attention to the team.

BUT
feels p good. haven't had an elite team since Nash, and the boys are really coming together and embracing their roles, especially Ayton and Bridges. that said we've been extraordinarily lucky with injuries with both LA teams getting ravaged, Nuggs losing Murray, and Jazz losing Mitchell. talent-wise we're more like a 3rd or 4th seed than a (probable?) 1 seed and expectations are adjusted accordingly. WCF run would be a great success given where this team was last year.
