I mean I get it but the double standard in this is insane.

there's no reason to suspend the league's best star for an overblown issue

the nba needs him to keep the series against PHX exciting.

Because without him the Lakers would get swept. Like I said though it makes sense why they want him to play. Still huge double standards.

i'm guessing it's because it was an outdoor event and those who attended the event had to produce proof of vaccination or a negative test. still very dumb on his part, especially if he hasn't been vaccinated

seems like the violation was more in regards to the lakers not running this by the league first.

In the league’s original health and safety protocols, it said “a player must notify his team at least three days in advance of any in-person appearance at any event with more than 25 attendees that is intended to fulfill such a commitment (e.g., to film an advertisement or promote a product activation). If the team has concerns with the sponsor’s safety protocols and/or the setting that the player has proposed to access in order to comply with such commitment, the team must inform the NBA for discussion between the NBA and NBPA regarding whether such activity and the particular protocols and/or setting are consistent with the Core Principles and, if they are not, necessary actions to reduce the risk of infection.”

LeBron James won't face quarantine for violating NBA's COVID protocol

Ah yeah I didn’t look fully into it in all honesty. That makes more sense.

Great game between the Bucks/Heat.

Couple ways to look at this. On one hand, Heat lost on a last second shot in OT when Butler and Bam were bad offensively. On the other, the Heat hit 15 more threes than the Bucks and shot 40% from deep. I don't see the Bucks shooting that poorly and/or the difference being that big between the two teams.

Bam has to be better. The Bucks are giving him no respect on offense and just backing way off. He can't keep hesitating or passing off in those situations.

Big Celtics fan this round.

Robert Williams with 8 blocks tonight.

Jrue Holliday showed why they swapped Eric Bledsoe out

I think a majority of people are Celtics fans for a little while.

Suns starting off strong.

My Lakers

Trae Young just needs to shave his head. His “hair” is like baby hair.

 

[Melrose Munch]

KNICKS BRUH

 

[Avs_19]

Trae! Then he shushes the MSG crowd.

These games have been amazing.

 

[Breakers]

I used to be a big supporter of Lebron

but I can’t quite put a finger on exactly when it happened, but he just annoys the hell out of me lately. Especially this season.

that Chris Paul foul is like the culmination for me. Like he’s crying yet the replay showed he fell on the other arm? Like GFTOH dude.

 

[Terry Yake]

gobert fouls out for the first time all season

memphis up 106-98 with a little over 2 minutes left

 

[Jack Straw]

Memphis taking game 1 from Utah wasn’t an upset I was expecting. It’s shaping up to be an interesting playoffs.

 

[John Price]

I was doing some research and I was shocked to learn the Kings have had excellent draft position the last decade or so

2020 12th
2019 14th (traded to Boston)
2018 2nd
2017 5th
2016 8th
2015 6th
2014 8th
2013 7th
2012 5th
2011 7th
2010 5th
2009 4th
2008 12th
2007 10th

With those picks how do you not build a champion?

It looked like he did land on his left shoulder in all fairness.
