    That’s pretty funny, but if they want to be fair they should have highlighted that 11 of Boston’s titles take place before 1970 when they had all the best players and the league had 14 or fewer teams. 12 of their titles took place before the merger. That means they have 6 titles from 1976 until now, not super impressive. Meanwhile the Lakers have won 11 championships from 1980 on. Seems like one side needs much more of an asterisk next to certain titles to me, and one side has clearly been the better franchise for as long as most people today can remember.

    Meh they are just butt hurt because most LAKERS fans called their last title micky mouse and the only reason they won was because half of the NBA was on IR. They literally played everyone’s JV team .

    They sure they don't want to terminate the deal entirely after AD gave him the business?



    Rob, PAY ATTENTION!

    This is your mission.

    Weird because I thought you needed more of a defender but Knecht kind of turbo charges that Dlo, Rui, Reaves trio. With him in there with any of those 3, the defense faces yet another different look from a good offensive player (more of a movement shooter combined with the lob threat and a guy who can attack the defense off the bounce as a secondary guy). His size is nice as it fits in between big boy Rui and Reaves and he's got pretty good vision so that you can't really overplay him

    NBA just got 70 billion in TV, very likely some of the stipulations are we can’t have stars sitting half the year and losing viewership because of load management. Just my theory.

    Why Embid ?
    NBA should investigate Daryl Morey.He said earlier this month that the team will try for both Embiid and Paul George not to play in back-to-back games this season.

    This is part of the new normal for Embiid this season, according to sources, a strategy to keep the former NBA MVP healthy for the postseason. The plan has been expected to include periodic time off during the regular season and routine evaluations from doctors and the 76ers medical staff, those sources said.

    Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey told ESPN's Tim Bontemps earlier this month that Philadelphia would try to keep both Embiid and Paul George out of back-to-backs this season.

    "We're going to be smart about it. Part of being smart about it is having both Paul [George] and Joel probably not play many back-to-backs, if any," Morey said.

    I am so glad we have AD instead of Embiid. Here's Embiid announcing he is planning to sit out games when he is not injured. Meanwhile AD is at least trying to play 82.

    Oh .... I forgot about him announcing he was no longer going to play back to backs. Was thinking it was about the period out with this new injury. Go NBA Investigation.

    Yes you're right ... I forgot about his proclamation he would be load managing this year. How'd that work out for Kawhi last year with no longer business as usual.

    Kawhi and Embiid are actually legitimately injured. The irony is quite convenient.

    That’s a lot of dough for a dude who can only play one side of the floor and who also gets dominated by AD.
