    Not only is it a joke, it'll take two years to change just like the challenge rule.

    The f***ing XFL can figure out a challenge play with better cameras than the NBA in under one minute. It takes the NBA 5 minutes and they still get it wrong.

    Can Silver just hire a football guy to fix this for us?

    All the makings for a loss. Team didn't arrive until 3 AM, Bron is sick, he and AD had to do all the work against Minny.

    I'd be shocked if this wasn't a double digit loss tonight.

    Well D'no is literally butt hurt. Maybe while he is laying on his stomach he can figure some things out. All I can say is old lamps for new.

    i get the joke, and i think he (and maybe austin*) are figuratively butt hurt because i'm guessing they heard he's been shopped heavily in anticipation of the forthcoming mid-january availability of various players here and there.

    *reaves because i think he's dlo's buddy and thinks he's getting a raw deal. and i actually agree, tbh.

    yeah, this s*** happens, and we could have played better and whatever...but...can we dispense with the "league favors the lakers" stuff, please? they clearly don't act in this fashion on the regular. it's a dumb narrative.

    if we were on the right side of this (which we have been!), it would feed the talk news for a full week.

    No surprises here. I like how you don't list LeBron's position.

    "Which position does LeBron play?"
    "Yes".

    Another shorthanded game.

    Can we get more info on the severity of Rui and DLO's injuries?

    Nice to get a couple of days off so they can sit in the corner and think about how they've played lately. Maybe regroup some pride, come up with some coaching epiphanies or something.

    Butler is out tonight but I expect this to still be a tough game. I like JHS, but man would it be nice to have Jaquez right now.

    Just heard Stephen A and the ABC/BSPN crew say that Bam just declared HE is the best defensive player in the world.

    It's not Bam.
    Udonis Haslem Believes Bam Adebayo Should Win DPOY
    Udonis Haslem makes a strong case for Bam Adebayo's DPOY.
    While acknowledging that Adebayo may not lead in traditional box score stats like blocks or rebounds, Haslem emphasized the importance of advanced tracking stats that reveal Adebayo's effectiveness in defending opponents in isolation and deterring high-quality shots near the rim. The eye test, according to Haslem, supports Adebayo's defensive prowess.

    ahh, the eye test

    Yes, the most easily quantifiable and underrated stat

    it's best used when it coincides with personal interest and favoritism if it proves your point. It's subjectively indisputable.
