ive never seen a big man struggle to finish at the rim as bad as joffrey lauvergne. he's a hustler who grabs rebounds and has decent hands, but as soon as he's under the rim, he cannot just put the ball in.

Kyrie Irving on his first Christmas in Boston: "I mean the hoopla on Christmas, I don't really get into that. I don't really necessarily think of Christmas as a holiday. I'm just happy that I get to be with my family. Looking forward to playing in front of the fans and just playing against a high-level Washington team and going against great guys and then, of course, opening presents and that whole thing."

still falling short of lebron, missed the easy layup after the setup for "things of that nature."

Lol

lebron was mic'd up for the game yesterday. they should mic him up every game imo

LeBron's daughter wanted some candy mid-game.

love to think I have the NBA figured out

ouch the defensive footage of KAT in that YouTube is painful

Yeah. KAT wanders around a lot on D, as if he has no real idea where he ought to be, just a vague notion of the general area. So, he's seldom ready when the offensive move comes. In the NBA, that's always going to make you late to the party. These are the habits of a guy so enormous, athletic and talented in high school that he could do whatever he wanted and always look good doing it, so no one ever corrected him.

his footwork really stood out to me there lol

his legs seem really weak/unstable need to hit them squats bro

It’s sad that Wiggins broke his promise to get better. Actually he decided to get worse for some reason. Must really hate upper management, maybe KG is in his ear.

KAT plays d like a guy who permanently has 5 fouls and is simply trying to avoid fouling out

wigdawg is conspiring to deflate the value of the wolves so kg can buy them then after that he will be good at basketball

Precisely. Good plan imo.

lol too bad you can be a racist slumlord and sell your team for approximately a jillion dollars

^ b-b-but that's The American Dream!

maybe he was super foul prone at some point in his youth and that was his solution

the two hands straight up thing def seems more like "see, i'm not touching him" than trying to pressure or contest.

god please fire Jason Kidd already

the denver nuggets will win the NBA playoffs

(stokes his chin) Hmmm. You could be right. But then again. (widens eyes) That seems. (narrows eyes) Rather. Unlikely.

I believe that there’s such a thing as motivated Nurkic but at this point the non-motivated Nurkic just blows

it was a common preseason claim in the area that llllard, mccollum, and nurkic were the best top 3 combo in the nba and i was laughing at the idea then and laughing at it still today

Re fire Kidd: they were w out their mvp tonight

Something like 28% of nurkic’s shots this season are from 10-23 feet which is not good

respect to manu for attempting that 3/4 court heave and getting stuffed, NBA needs to instate my rule heaves don't count as shots unless they go in

You must have been talking to The Onion's notorious Area Man.

still blew an 18 point lead midway through the 3rd by thanks to their entirely exploitable brand of defense

oh lol did not know ok #firekidd

idk man a lot of delusional local fans bought into the idea of nurkic as some kinda proto-shaq bc he had like five good games last spring

respect to manu for attempting that 3/4 court heave and getting stuffed, NBA needs to instate my rule heaves don't count as shots unless they go in

What about they don’t count unless they hit rim

i kinda like how it is cos you gain more respect for the players that let it fly.
