Game 4 vs Phoenix in 2021

I know we’ve kinda recovered, but that loss (and the series as a whole) virtually solidified the Westbrook trade.

 

With a beastly 10/1/1, Jalen Hood-Schifino is well on his way toward breaking LeBron's amazing streak of double digit scoring in regular season games. If he can keep up this production, we may be looking at the next face of the league in no time.

The league better watch out, an absolute ANIMAL is being unleashed in Los Angeles!

Fantastic game by DLo. Took everything the defence gave him, made some tough shots, and played solid defence. Good bounce back after a rough outing.

LMAO GET FUCKED LARRIOrs

 

Nobody seems to be posting it but Sabonis threw an absolute dime full court to Huerter to beat the buzzer.

This broadcast is fucking awful. It’s literally your job to explain what’s going on in the game but instead they’re just rambling the whole time. This happened out of nowhere and until I replayed the arena announcement (which was almost impossible to hear) I didn’t know what happened.

It’s nearly impossible to make a skip pass at his size when hard doubled

Holy fucking shit, how hard is it for someone to GET FUCKING OPEN FOR A PASS??? I hate this team so much.

Propbably not. We keep saying "he's only got a year or two left" and then he just keeps going like it's nothing, but I really do think he's on his last legs these next 2 years. Unless we make the finals this year and next and LeBron continues his absurd scoring, it's probably not happening.

My guy you literally play with Joel Embiid

There’s no question anymore, none.

If there was ANY doubt about the true nature of the situation, it’s gone, put to rest, dead.

Something like 14 straight playoff losses under the same referee who just happens to have direct personal beef with him. A referee who also has irrefutable ties to the only ref in the history of the sport who was actually exposed for intentionally influencing games, ties which correlate directly to that activity.

This isn’t just a “haha beef” moment, this isn’t a little thing we can forget about, this is a referee rigging games intentionally, many of which were playoff games and even finals games.

The debate is over, there are still refs who actively and intentionally rig games. If this doesn’t outrage you I don’t know what planet you’re living on. This should lead to a complete overhaul of the entire officiating system… if it weren’t for the fact that I’m unwaveringly certain that these orders are coming directly from Adam Silver.

The NBA is no better than the WWE, they’re just more discrete about it.

Jrue’s such an awesome dude.

If only there was a way to reduce the risk of players getting hurt by obstacles out of bounds. Only time we didn’t see this risk was during the bubble…

Hmmmmmmm🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

There is absolutely zero watchability in Embiid’s game

Most all time greats at this point have an award/trophy named after them. The Michael Jordan MVP trophy, the Larry Bird and Magic Johnson conference finals MVP trophies, the Bill Russell FMVP, etc.

Odds are the league is going to try and get LeBron one as well, considering he’s one of the 2 biggest names in the history of the sport. With this year being the inaugural in season tournament, LeBron winning the first ISTMVP would make it fairly easy to name the award after him. Do you think that would be the case?

The injuries to his victim, as listed on wikipedia: strangulation, brain concussion, closed fracture of nasal bone, contusion of rib, multiple bruises, and a neck muscle strain. This was only the first incident.

The second incident, he “threw billiard balls at Johnson's (same woman as before) car, breaking her windshield while their children were inside the car.”

He’s a child abuser, he’s a domestic abuser, he has no place in this league whatsoever and if the league had any integrity his ban would’ve been announced when the first charges came around.

Absolutely ridiculous efficiency by LeBron so far from everywhere on the court. Even at his age, he’s scoring at the rim at unprecedented efficiency, and he’s shooting more of his shots at the rim than he has since his first season in LA (on 9.5% better shooting). I know it’s been talked about ad nauseam, but this man simply does not age.

Excellent explanation, and it really emphasizes both how dangerous this was, and how entirely unjustifiable it was. This needs to be a significant suspension.
