Jarrett Jack went off
So Mike D’antoni sitting Pau Gasol…fucking me up right now in the playoffs. Lakers have to fire this coach
EDIIITTT: Pau is out with nausea dizzinesss…I fucking hate that guy right now lol
How the fuck did I survive this week?
Pau Gasol was taken by ambulance to a hospital as a precaution on Sunday after receiving three liters of fluid via IV.
Gasol left Sunday’s game due to dizziness and nausea, but the good news is that he’s heading to the hospital for observation and not an imminent medical need. The Lakers next game is on Tuesday and it’s hard to imagine Pau well enough to play in that game, but we should know more about his health in the next 24 hours.
$40 Jarrett Jack wasn’t good enough.
Even Brenda got no love for me
Welcome to the life of celebrity, Paul George.
I figure since he’s been trying to fuck with random chicks all the time, its only a matter of time before he leaves Indiana and goes to L.A. That would be heaven for him.
lost by one 3p! swaggy p failed me
hope he’s alright. I hate him but hope he’s okay
timberwolves don’t deserve to make the playoffs with their recent play. I’d still love for PHX to grab the 8th
Timberwolves? They are 7 games back of the 8th seed with 13 games to play, playoff chances ended for them a long time ago.
I used to live in Denver and now live in Boston, I think I have the worst two-city average of anyone here.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This season isn’t too bad, but try Washington Wizards -> Charlotte Bobcats…
Jordan without a basketball done f#cked me up twice…

PHX are currently 8 w the tie breaker.
Knicks can grab the 8 spot if they stop choking like they did Sunday.
Mark Cuban trolling espn and the nfl hard.
I somewhat agree with him, but I think most analyst are missing the point. The issue isn’t so much “oh one deal is doom and gloom” its “the aggresiveness with their greed will cause their popularity to go the other way”. The ONLY reason there are people who can watch football everyday is because they can’t. Football is ‘EVENT’ sports - its like a cross between a boxing match and a basketball game, instead of Ffloyd having 2-3 fights a year or Miami playing 82 games plus a playoffs - we gte 16 plus like 3. So you have the perfect amount of time for things to be overly analyzed (one week), but not so long that it won’t dominate the news cycle. They also mean more - with so few games, having your QB injured for 4 games is like CP3 missing 20 games. But, what Cuban is talking about isn’t just the Thursday night deal, they’ve been trying to extend the playoffs, extend the regular season, show more pre-season games, etc etc. It’s going to water down their product and end up losing the fair-weather fans. On the flip, basketball wouldn’t be hurt outside of ‘league leaders’ if they would reduce the number of games. At 82 games - I just don’t care about missing a game.

And if ATL keeps sinking.
Those lottery balls are starting to look nice …
i fucking laughed when i saw that shit
i flipped to that game and im like cavs are getting washed and turned right back to hunter x hunter i couldn’t bring myself to give even a modicum of a fuck
turned back and saw the score
im like how the flying fuck did they win.
and how you gonna convince people to have the same love for the nba as the nfl for 82 games
when 99% of the players themselves only show up for at most…50 of them
Imagine this.
How much longer could some of the greats have played, and at what level - if the season was like 1/4-1/3 shorter? Because those great players don’t play 82 games a season, they got 82 games at HIGH MINUTES because they aren’t role players, plus more intense and physical playoffs with even MORE minutes due to tighter rotations, and the really greats make deep runs bumping into mroe greats - leading to long series. Think about Shaq when he wsa in LA and would mail it in for 1/3 of the season with a big toe injury. When he played, even at his size he still logged heavy minutes, and with him and Kobe - LA was winning 16 games while still losing like 4 a series, so in three SUCCESSFUL playoffs run he put like an additional 75 games of high intensity basketball on his legs - and that doesn’t include the failed run that ended in the finals, which puts that closer to 100 games.
Not only that, but shrinking the schedule - one of two ways - either a longer off-season o more time between games - no more back to backs, time between games to actually prepare for your next opponent, time to make adjustments when on a slide instead of just waiting till the road trip is over, players who are hurt can properly nurse themselves, in general - you’d get a better game every night, along with longer careers and more match-ups of greats.
It won’t happen though shrug

Ugh…reports coming out of Warriors camp is not looking good. Sounds like the coaching staff --although performing well–is slowly falling apart. This may be the downfall of coach Jackson.
Brian Scalabrine about to get ERASED, yo. Kinda like the NJ Nets situation with Jason Kidd…uh-oh.
Looks like this really might be Mark’s final season…
