daaaaamn that sucks

honestly surprised it lasted so long. i got a perfect stream for all of the finals games i watched and they never got taken down, kind of baffles the mind honestly

fd up

The GM just blew by Premier Ford in 2 seconds flat. I'm not sure he even knew who Ford was. pic.twitter.com/5kkQ4UK9eT

RIP r/nbastreams

It's been a pleasure, I Love Hoops it really has....
don't know what ol' UMS is gonna do now

theres some suggestions within the comments of that

had to look up who that ford guy was. lol

yeah those things don't just disband because their reddit index got shut down

https://streamable.com/ddazu

damn

it was just nice to have a centralized location w/ links, and for once reddit's upvote system actually fit the system well because the good streams would float to the top

fwiw it's pretty easy to search twitter for streams, just not sure how uh 'safe' that is

it will all be on the Discord now as well

even better was the boo'ing ford got when they announced him on stage.

theres no way the rockets can keep CP now that the owner has openly expressed his regret to signing him in the first place... right? how many first round picks are the gonna have to dump to get off that contract?

Gasol knocking out a bottle of wine in one gulp is some crazy shit

it was probably water

Knicks gonna have a big offseason https://t.co/iwfjZ1fJqN

Kyrie Irving plans on meeting with the Celtics this week to discuss his future, via @ShamsCharania.

Kyrie coming back after the Celtics gave up on Davis because they thought Kyrie was leaving would be the most Kyrie move

lakers davis deal not final btw *waggles eye brows insanely*

just kinda realizing now that he's not a laker i'm a big lonzo fan. feels like a scrappy underdog with a quirky jumper who's escaping from an abusive father's grasp, go lonzo

otm

I really like his game and seems like a chill bro but that jumpshot will keep me at arms length. Seems like Rubio is his floor?

itll be cool for him to be on a shitty fun team that no ones really invested in, throwing oops to zion etc

If they keep jrue that’s gonna be a really tough backcourt on defense.

iirc, jrue was voted the most underrated nba player by the other nba players. the second place finisher was lillard.

i don't think there's any point in talking about lonzo until he plays more than 60 games in a season

i can't find my original post but my lonzo take is still that he's going to forever be a guy that people argue over whether he's good or not like rubio

alternately,

lonzo ball will become "drake 2"

New story: Sources tell @YahooSports Chris Paul wants out of Houston. Relationship with James Harden deemed "unsalvageable": https://t.co/UhHo0gAr8i pic.twitter.com/Txjtrvkeoc

lol we all want things

sounds like a perfect fit for the new york knickerbockers

hard to blame cp3 for wanting out after what harden did to his kitchen

lmbo

lol

excellent

"Paul went to Rockets management and demanded a trade, and Harden issued a “him or me” edict following the Rockets’ second-round loss to the Golden State Warriors, sources said."

lmao didnt dwight do the same thing? maybe harden's been the pest all along.

trying to brainstorm where cp3 could go with that deal and it’s like ...

The backcourt mates went nearly two months without speaking to each other during the season, sources said, creating a tenuous environment for teammates and everyone involved with the franchise.

Harden hasn’t returned Paul’s repeated attempts at communicating this offseason, sources said, after a year in which the pair repeatedly got under each other’s skin with petty acts in practices and games.

pauls not leaving w/o a buyout or the rockets doing a very brutal deal

maybe harden's been the pest all along.
