That fall was so weird. I heard Wemby actually practices falling which makes it even weirder.
- Comment on Wemby Out Rest of G2 Due to Concussion Protocols 1 day ago:
Its not necessarily separate. Getting your bell rung kinda like Wemby is still a type of brain injury. Might be a concussion, might not.

Detroit giving Cade zero help on offense.

I feel like that’s just how today is going to be. Nothing but 1v8 and 2v7 matchups.
- Comment on Durant Out Game 1 With Knee Contusion 4 days ago:
Rockets absolutely killed us on the boards and won the turnover matchup. Rockets put 27 more shots last night and still lost, honestly Udoka has done a shit job all season coaching the offense.

Luka out, Reaves out, next white guy that can shoot up! Luckily that like a quarter of the Lakers roster lol
- Comment on Durant Out Game 1 With Knee Contusion 4 days ago:
The Rockets offense looked rough with KD. My Lakers might actually have a chance this series 🙏

Probably end up playing the Rockets in the first round who also looks like a train wreck, so we got that going lol

Injuries in general seem like they’re at an all time high. When I started watching basketball as a kid, playing 82 games was almost the norm.

He live streamed it and after he was waived, double downed and said it again, on another live stream.
But, that was CLEARLY AI so he’s CLEARLY innocent lol

Did you read the body of the post and/or watch the videos I linked lol?
- Comment on Playoff Predictions 3 weeks ago:
I think Boston vs. OKC is the most likely Finals outcome, with OKC winning and Shai being MVP.
I think the Hornets “upset” the pistons in the first round. I’ve watched a couple Hornets games and they’re looking great, plus idk is Cade will be healthy enough.
I think Lakers beat the spurs in the second round. As a Lakers fan I’m not looking forward to this matchup but, as a basketball fan its super interesting. The Spurs are clearly a better team but have basically no playoff experience. On the other hand, 4 of the 5 Lakers starters have played in the Finals before. Its the ultimate experience vs talent matchup.

If you want to speculate about that, go right ahead, but that’s all it’ll ever be.
That’s literally what this post is about, why even comment in the first place lol?
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 3 weeks ago:
KD was far from the biggest problem with that Suns team.
Do you mean on the court, in the locker room, or both?
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 3 weeks ago:
No, I just don’t think Fred is that much better than Reed Shepherd. It’s not like Fred is Luka or something. We’ve never seen FVV and Durant play together though, so I might be way off here. It might also be a coaching issue. That also doesn’t explain why the Suns are better this season.
What I’m asking though, is Kevin Durant just a toxic player? Every team he’s on turns to shit at some point, when is it just Durant that’s the problem. On the other hand, every team with Brooks on it seems to have great chemistry. It’s a lot easier to play good team basketball when you actually like your team.
- Comment on Would the Rockets be better off with Dillon Brooks over KD? 3 weeks ago:
KD Rockets: 45-29 Brooks Rockets: 52-30
KD Suns: 36-46 Brooks Suns: 41-33
The teams with KD on them have a worse record than the teams with Brooks.

- Comment on NBA Presents 3 Anti-Tanking Proposals to Board of Governors 3 weeks ago:
I guess, I mean the gotta do something lol.
I have a few ideas myself
1- The team with the worst record looses their first round pick. After that everything stays the same but now the teams with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th have the same odds and so on.
2- More teams should Bam/Heat it against tanking teams. At first I thought what the Heat did at the end of that game was lame but, the more I sat and thought about it, the Heat were right to cheese it for Bam.
Cause fuck the Wizards. Image you bought tickets to that gsme, how lame would it be if the Heat just won by 40 and sat their starters in the fourth. But now, all those fans will remember when Bam put up 83.
Oh, you’re starting 3 G-League players against the Lakers? Guess what, Luka is putting up 60 shots and going for 110pts tonight. At worst, it give fans something actually worth watching.
3- The team with the worst record after 81 games has to play, and lose to the Harlem Globetrottets the last game of the season. The Globetrottets get all the calls from the refs and will pants your head coach and pie your owner at some point in the game.

Yeah, otherwise the Hornets will just cruise into the finals lol.
- Comment on Cade to Miss Time with Collapsed Lung 5 weeks ago:
Sources told Charania that the collapse of Cunningham’s lung is considered mild.
I didn’t know a collapsed lung could be mild lol. Hope he’s OK though, was really looking forward to watching their playoff run.

Idk, the look on his face seems like this is up a notch or two. The thing with morris was more not letting shit slide, Jokic still looked pretty calm.
- Comment on I've never seen Joker get this heated before 1 month ago:
Totally agree he should be suspended. The league is way to lax with these dirty players. Draymonds been kicking people in the jewels and other nonsense for years because there’s little to no consequences for his auctions.
The announcer saying that a flagrent two is to much is crazy to me to. I guess that’s what the rules might officially dictate, change the rules then. Hard fouls and playing physical is one thing but, this was clearly just trying to injure another player which has no place in basketball.
