I can’t believe LeBron took that Cavs team to the finals. lol. The real MVP is clear.

 

The Nuggets back cut game is elite.

 

Beasley in the game hell yeah!

 

yo I totally forgot the Nuggets had Isiah Thomas and Michael Porter Jr.

 

Oh hey, let’s show some golfer shaking hands with serial abuser Floyd Mayweather. Cool, cool.

 

Ugh. The TNT broadcast is such shit. We miss so much in game action.

 

Gonna be fun watching all the young and/or bad lakers miss every crazy LeBron pass all year

 

you can blame Reggie Miller for that

 

ah yes I'll take 20 of these - thank you NBA Jam Bucks Antetokounmpo And Middleton

 

love watching Ball and Hart play together

 

wow what a pass by Lance to Lebron

 

Lonzo don't hurt em!

 

watching Ball, Hart, and Kuz grow as players around Lebron is gonna be so much fun to watch this season

 

still can't believe Houston would be dumb enough to trade 4 first round picks for Jimmy Butler

"Houston figures to be great with or without Butler, and so you may be inclined to think future Rockets picks are worth shit, but then you remember that Jimmy Butler and James Harden are both 29, and Chris Paul is 33, and it’s very possible that three years from now the Rockets will be a pile of shit. Lightly protected future Rockets picks may wind up being enormously valuable.

The Indiana Pacers traded* Paul George for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis, in a deal that was panned at the time. The Wolves got Butler and the 16th pick in the 2017 draft for Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, and the seventh pick, in another deal that was panned in its immediate aftermath. Four lightly protected first round picks is an enormous haul of future assets, and it’s also almost certainly the best package the team could possibly hope to squeeze out of this situation. Taylor and Thibodeau haven’t been on the same page in months, and if they can’t get together now, for a package that would make the Wolves movers and shakers in the draft for most of the next decade, there’s no reason to believe they ever will."

Tough loss but had to get it out of the way. Starters shot horribly but we got good production out of the bench which is our only real question mark this year so that is inspiring to see

 

Could’ve been much worse! Plus this was against LeBron lol.

 

if thibs really is turning that trade down, taylor has to be furious with him lol

 

This possession is... incredible

 

JaVale McGee is currently averaging more points per game than Karl Anthony Towns, while taking less shots and playing less minutes. : nba

 

Welp. Just like everyone's prediction, the Cavs and Thunder are competing for the #1 pick.

 

lol I’m sure KAT will be fine. Literally five games into the season.

 

That travel is insane.
