    They lost to Portland, too, right?

    the whistles slow for harden some in the playoffs, but they can still get the one seed. Harden and Westbrook are iron men, as is tucker. All other contenders have top players with health issues.

    Anyone have the gist of this article? I don’t subscribe to the athletic. Don’t post it, just some bullet points?

    Yeah, the clips can have him. I get that it might hurt short term, but...I’m happy with AD as the future.

    No "Big Head" personality here. Especially from a guy who has to load manage his way through every season now. "Clippersnake" indeed.

    Makes one wonder what all Ballmer agreed to under the table that won't come out. Glad Jeanie told him to go bleep himself (sorta) while Magic was patting himself on the back publicly for sticking his nose into the negotiations after he f****** quit on the team and tried to torpedo the FO out of spite.

    NBA should fine Kawhi and his team. This is pathetic.

    Also makes one wonder, with this level of blatancy, and three calls with Jeanie ..... where was our intrepid insider Mr. Rambis who allegedly seemed to know all this other stuff about what our FO was doing, and those dreaded power hungry Rambises? Just curious.

    He is listed as day-to-day by the Lakers with the Christmas game on the horizon. However, a source close to James told ESPN he expected the star to be in the lineup.

    Just AD's knee tweak last night and what Lebron did a game or two before his groan injury last year with the severe splits ..... it's frightening with camera closeups to see all the water dripping off these guys when they are standing in place. Slipping on wet spots I'm surprised doesn't happen a LOT more often. Bunch of sweat hogs.

    Thanks, Doc. Wow, we may have dodged a bullet, Klutch can be a bit much, but this guy sounds like a different level.

    Actually it doesn’t hurt. Initially it was just being greedy in wanting star players that you thought wanted to play here. If someone doesn’t want to be here for whatever reason, then there’s no pain. And they can have that behind the scenes circus that his uncle brings. We just got rid of ours last season.

    I think these guys just want to be in Ballmer’s bed so they can finesse more perks. He’s super rich by the way. Also, Doc’s family ate well while his son was there. Consider his son’s second contract a finesse perk.

    I remember Toronto saying something about Kawhi’s uncle asking for things that even Masai Ujiri doesn’t get. Makes you wonder what daddy saw bucks Ballmer was willing to do. Trevor Lane does say the NBA investigated and found no wrongdoing but I’m sure you can hide things if you’re clever about it.
