Patrick Williams last 2 games has been a beastttt
He looks very talented. Just needs that confidence which will definitely come soon. Only 21 years old

My Phoenix suns are in a tail spin at the moment. CP3 is injured now too and Book is out a minimum 3 more weeks. At the All Star break the team needs to see what condition Booker is in, and how far away Cam Johnson is, and decide whether we have the juice to make a dent in the playoffs or if we just let the season go and test our luck in the draft lottery.

In the off season we need to explore an Ayton+picks trade. We need another scorer to help Booker carry the offense and some muscle/size in the front court.

OG Anunoby would be a nice add to this side, alternatively if the noise around the Raptors considering a potential Siakam deal are true than Ayton plus 3-4 first rounders might be enough (but I doubt it).

Definitely. Idiots are heaping so much pressure on him because of his high pick. He has huge potential. Just needs to be more assertive but it's hard when you have demar, lavine and vuc in the team demanding the ball. We saw in the final game last season when they were rested he scored something like 35. Eventually he will be a solid 2 way player.


Speaking of Lavine. He is finally showing signs of a purple patch. Scored in the 40s twice and today 36 in the past week.

Miraculous recovery. He is fine and still on the court. It's like he was snipered though

Tatum is too fkn good. Every time we get to within a few points he takes the lead out again. Celtics by 13 midway through the 3rd

Bulls kept coming back. Derozan didn't return to the court in the 4th quarter. Quad strain it looks like. Lavine stepped up big. Got it back to 1 bucket with 24 seconds to go. Unfortunately couldn't get it done. Celtics won by 8

Fucking Knicks man. Least clutch team in the league, always shitting the bed when we have a 4th quarter lead. We just play this stupid iso ball that leads to nothing. We suck at home and always lose in close games we 100% deserve to win, just bad coaching. Thibs rotations and minute distribution is horrible and its why this shit happens, just too stubborn to play some players and change lineups. Would rather play Fournier and Hartenstein over two young & hungry guys in Reddish and Sims. Bullshit. Idc about our good record, we have to fire him.

The Nets really need to change the colour of their court. It's terrible & looks like you're watching someone playing a video game.

Ben Simmons is going for a double/double with 0 points, 13 assists and 9 rebounds.

Shows how talented he is with passing and rebounding/defence and how limited he still is or how much aggressiveness/confidence he lacks scoring the ball. Especially with Durant out, he needs to average 15 at least

Before this season he's averaged between 14.3-16.9 ppg every season he's been in the NBA. He needs to be more aggressive.

Thunder are 2.5 games behind the Clippers for the 6th seed. Can they make the playoffs this season?

I hate fan voting for the All Star game. Kevon Looney, Kawhi, Austin Reaves, Draymond, Westbrook all have more votes than Sabonis, Brunson. Fans should have 25% and the NBA media and players should have 50%

I think whoever the top 5 the fans vote should make the teams but the coaches & players should select the starters.

This officiating in the Mavs Lakers game has been very bad.
