We look incredibly lethargic. I hoped we would have more in the tank, but the whole team stopped attacking or passing and just settled for 3's. Clippers are shooting better than I think they should, but tonight I don't think it would matter.

Those of us that have been watching him for years on the west coast know he is elite at the fall and scream while driving, or worse, coming around a high screen and flailing for 3 free throws.

$2 is crazy. 10 years ago at Arco Arena I am not sure I could have found a $2 ticket

I don't agree with it, but they will likely make it stand since Turner ever so slightly touches Sharpe with his off hand.

Man, I don't even want the Lakers to win. But the whistle that Embiid and Maxey get is elite.

Yea I have had the same thought. Injuries on top of the suspension has tanked their year. They likely will be something like 5-20, 6-19. Best case would be like 9-10 seed in the play in maybe? If all goes really well

A serious answer, and I am not getting into who was better, blah blah. But in sports having that killer drive to go at your opponent and basically say "I am going to beat you and finish you myself" is well received by other athletes and many fans. Lebron has always had the "Make the right play" mentality, which means very often throughout his career he will pass to role players for crucial shots. This gets taken the wrong way by many. You also have to factor in that it took Lebron a long Time to get respect as a top 2 all time, literally till 2016 with the Cavs. His early playoff failures hung over him for a long Time. Getting beat by Orlando in the ECF, having that terrible series against Boston where he was a no show while in Cleveland, getting beat by the 1 superstar team Dallas Mavs in Miami. And even when he won in Miami, there are a lot of fans that view it as the KD rings in GSW, as too easy and expected. It is why the Cleveland win is what started to turn the narrative for Lebron from a choker to a winner honestly.

I'll go with a role player, Javale McGee. I remember watching this dude as a first and second year player. He had all the tools but was dumb as rocks. I figured he would be out the league after his rookie contract. But props to him, he embraced being a role player and has been playing for like 15 years. So many players can't get over not being the star and wash out.

Tbf, except for Heat fans, who wasn't? Lebron having a PBS special to announce it. Bosh was in his prime, Wade had injuries but still in prime. They did the whole "how many rings we gonna win?" shit lol. Lot's of fuel for that fire.

Not shocked the Clippers won, but I am shocked they blew Dallas out. Being on the b2b and Dallas looking like a solid team. I had seen some mentions of Dallas record being inflated due to an easy schedule. Wondering now if there is some validity to that.

Where is Fox? He is averaging like 30/game.

If anything foul on melton. Embiid didn’t foul him.
