the funny thing is they went on like a 20-2 run immediately after this happened to tie the game but then they couldn’t pull away in fourth

Yah they turned it up. Feel like they’re just one of those weird teams where this may be a shrug and move on Jimmy has to be a psycho once ina while thing

Watching a game from right behind a bench is a bucket list dream of mine

Was literally just thinking yesterday that I'm gonna do that for my 50th bday. So uh either the Suns or Bulls better have a good team in 6 years.

Time to start saving up lol

love butler getting up and walking away from haslem so dedmon can hold him back haha

not sure what their formula is but lol at the Wizards being the only team in the NBA to have literally never drafted the best available player

No offense but Mookie Blaylock the 18th best player of the last 30 years?

yeah wtf that's bizarre. it looks like R-WAR has a thing for overrating PGs, but still very odd

they might be using CN-WAR (cool name war)

mookie was the best

def an underrated player

Pioneer in getting busted for weed

seems like he has some real addiction issues. i think he killed someone drunk driving

whoa that totally passed me by at the time

During the afternoon of May 31, 2013, Blaylock was involved in a head-on collision in Clayton County, Georgia. He was initially placed on life support,[9] but his condition later improved.[8] Blaylock's vehicle traveled left-of-center, causing the accident. A family member stated he had a history of seizures, and although it was unknown if Blaylock was experiencing any symptoms at the time of the collision,[8] he was under doctor's orders to not drive due to the seizures.[10] Blaylock had a history of alcohol abuse, and it was determined he suffered a seizure due to alcohol withdrawal.[10] Although initially surviving the crash, a passenger in the other vehicle, Monica Murphy, a mother of five, died as a result of injuries from the collision.[8][9] Blaylock was charged with vehicular homicide,[11] driving on a suspended license and failing to stay in his lane.[12] Blaylock had an outstanding warrant in Spalding County, Georgia on charges of DUI and drug-related offenses at the time, but "investigators did not believe alcohol was a factor in the crash."[8] However, Blaylock had a history of DUIs; at least seven of them.[10]

On October 27, 2014, Blaylock pleaded guilty to killing Murphy. Facing seven to ten years at trial,[10] Blaylock accepted a plea bargain.[13] According to the plea, Blaylock served three years in prison and the fourth as a suspended sentence, followed by eight years of probation.[14]

Aw man didn't know about any of that

always the concern with insanely athletic and reckless little guards:

Grizzlies star Ja Morant will be re-evaluated in two weeks due to tweaked knee, coach Taylor Jenkins says.

Damn, hope he's back 100% for the playoffs.

always the concern with insanely athletic and reckless little guards

yep just got to hope the issues dont come up around the post season.

for whatever reason i dont have wade in this category tho. just a little too big to be grouped in the small guard archetype.

Iverson was pretty healthy throughout his career no? Not saying that refutes the concept, I just don't wanna believe it's Ja's destiny.

I don’t think it’s his destiny. Iverson can be included as far as all these guys kinda hitting a wall in their early 30s where the other guards like cp, nash, Stockton, curry kept it going into/through their mid 30s.

I do worry about ja tho he is way too reckless at this point. Needs to pick his spots better and learn how to land softly.

*very m bison voice* he shd look at how tony parker managed his career as a high speed, high collision pg imo

I think the key is to not jump too high. #Icarus

worked for tony

yeah i was gonna say, iverson wasn’t an above the rim player to say nothing of parker. dame lillard and steph curry have never had knee issues either. it’s the stress on the knees due to leaping ability i think

ja really has to develop a shot so he can at least mix it up some

The little bastard is back playing

pulled the ol just walk away like nothing happened

Booker has 43 through 3 qs

that's a shame xp

just turning this nuggets/suns game on…chris paul is back already?

xp i was hoping for something more inflammatory. that was just a light clothesline.

It’s about as far as you can go without getting fined or ejected

Since AS break Bulls are 4-10. They've lost to the Hawks, Kings, and Pelicans. They have losses by 15, 15, 27, 28, and 15 points in that stretch. They're not getting out of the 1st round.

they just don’t have enough firepower right now. at this point they have to worry about staying in the top 6

Injury bug really messed with them. Lonzo seems to be pretty important to what they do.

Could easily see them in the play in tho

they gotta get their dudes back. last I looked even before this current slide their point differential since jan 1 was like +1.0, they were just winning some close games

yeah if derozan hadn’t hit like 3 of the craziest game winners we’ve seen they’re prob already in the play in

They were doing well without Lonzo for awhile, but yeah that's when DeRozan was on that epic run of his. And Ayo has been doing a good job. But do agree that Lonzo is a key guy.

only caught the 4th quarter of nuggs/suns but playing the full strength suns close for most of the game is a win for me. really hope one of murray or porter is able to be back for the offs

Bulls, Hawks and Charlotte are actually looking pretty weak right now. i was hoping they'd at least be up for putting up a good first round series. Toronto's been surprisingly great
