Nothing would make me happier than to see the Lakers be stuck in the play in round and lose in that and miss the playoffs.

I wouldn't mind them losing just to see LeBron do another 180 on that whole concept.

Westbrook tied Oscar Robertson for most triple doubles in NBA history.

Us fans should never take this talent for granted. He will shatter the triple double record and he is only 32. He’s had triple doubles in 19% of his career games. That’s higher than Oscar and Magic. That’s just crazy. It would be even higher if he didn’t play with Harden last year.
Julius Randle and the Knicks taking it to Kawhi, George, Rondo, Cousins and the Clippers. Gotta love seeing the young guys taking the torch from elite vets.

Was bound to happen after they ventured into politics last year. People don't want that stuff involved in sports, they watch sports to get away from all that crap. They should have expected this.
Anyhow, Steph has to be at least an MVP nominee this year. Even with all the Jokic hype I think he has a good chance now that GSW will at least be in the "play-in"

While the politics probably have played a part somewhat I don't think it's just that. They been watering down the regular season more and more each year and these stupid play-ins aren't helping. I bet numbers are back to normal or at least close to it for the playoffs.
They should probably do 72 games every year AND drop the play in tournament but we all know that won't happen. $

NBA ratings have been dropping for a while. definitely didn't just start last year, and others sports have seen ratings drops since the pandemic started as well
streaming has a lot to do with the NBA's ratings drop in recent years

Jeanie Buss has Phil Jackson and LeBron as top 5 Lakers over Baylor, Goodrich, Shaq, West, Wilt, and Worthy.

Re: The Ratings
The overall product the NBA is putting out just isn't that great. If you like offense then you'll love it but if I wanted to watch dudes chuck up 3 after 3 then I could go watch a YMCA pickup game or something.

I was so mad about that one. I think they were looking to move on because of his legal issues but there’s no denying his talent. Shoot 3’s in your face and dunk on your head... and his past as a WR gives him a level of toughness and fearlessness that I love to see.
Between him, Delon Wright and Halliburton there’s a lot of incentive for me to watch Kings games going forward.

Yeah I read about the DV after I posted that. I thought they were dumping him for cheap because he was an rfa coming up and the Raptors have less roster spots. It definitely makes more sense now.
I wasn’t really sure what McNair was doing at the deadline, but picking up TD, Wright and Moe Harkless for what amounted to 2 2nds was incredible value. Those guys kept them in the race for a play in much longer than they should have been without Fox, Barnes and Halliburton.
Weird situation. The organization came out in the pre season and said they’re comfortable moving forward based on their information so we assumed it was blown out of proportion.. Most of the legal stuff was dropped or dismissed but he’d still seemed to fall out of favour and didn’t get much leash this year.
I don’t know what happened or what type of person he is, but he’s an incredible athlete. This video from coach Daniel (recently hired by Dallas) points out some of his potential upside. I was really excited about his future at one time.
Delon Wright is one of the most underrated players in the game. Really wanted him back and was disappointed he didn’t fit with the Mavs. Glad to see he’s possibly found a home.

Excellent video. His ability to play off the ball was noticeable from day 1. He plays like a guy expecting the ball to find him on every play. Dig the energy he brings and hope he continues to trend up.

Loved this.
Heat are getting ready for the playoffs and peaking at the perfect time. Finally coming together and playing their best basketball of the season.
Dragic and Herro haven't been good all season and now they suddenly look like they did in the bubble. Both Ariza and Dedmon were sitting at home for the entire season and now they're contributing to a playoff team. The Oladipo injury hurts, especially on defense, but this team looks deep and tough to beat once again.
