    He currently looks like he's worth the non tax payers MLE... at best. Maybe he snaps out of it, but he might have left a lot on the table there.

    How does one of the best shooters in NBA history completely forget how to shoot?

    He took a lot of hero ball 3's against the Lakers last playoffs: those were shots he could make in his prime but now he might not have the athleticism to pull those off
    not sure what his shot selection is like but based on his history it's not like Exum's wide open 3's against the lakers but more of the wtf variety

    Klay had the dreaded back to back Achilles-ACL injury combination. That pretty much ended Wall's and Cousins careers as good players. He's done better than both of them in his return tho, he did manage to get another ring. However his days as a 30M plus, top player in the NBA are behind him.

    We're going to gift the Spurs a win, aren't we.

    The Spurs have lost 17 straight games, they are truly terrible. I guess they have to win a game sooner or later. I'm actually rather curious as to how we look without Lebron and AD. We should be able to take this two game series anyway...we'll see.

    17 straight losses, says that it's definitely doable to overcome that.

    Lebron seems fine so I expect him to play but they should AD - don't let this minor stuff produce a major injury.

    Defense is going to suck without AD but they should have a lot of offensive firepower to overcome this really bad team

    Draymond is one of the worst floppers of all time. I do believe that he “inadvertently” smacked Nurcic in the face, but since the League is trying to crack down on these behaviors AND Green has a long rap sheet of unsportsmanlike conduct, they should ban him from more games than usual. They won’t, because for some odd reason, they never do.

    AD should sit tonight. if they can't beat a team that's lost 17 straight without him, then this is not a serious team

    game's on nbatv tonight. guessing pop and wemby are going to put it all out there. we're lucky it's not nationally televised.

    oh no, just checked--friday's game IS on espn. s***.

    i've been worried about these two in a row vs. the spurs since i saw it on the schedule. i hate playing bad teams twice in a row. you're bound to lose one of those, man.

    Damn.

    20 games? Then go to the fake rehab facility Ja went to in FL, detoxed and completed the 12 steps in 48 hours . They're fake I'm sure they have an anger management wing.

    wow

    guess he's getting a stern talking to

    didn't look that accidental to me honestly, so he's used up all of his good graces. Now he gets to hang out with Ja for the Holidays.

    I imagine he’ll slap someone or kick a crotch a week after he’s back

    He lost all his athleticism as he got older, so he is just acting out being dirty
