As good as he is, why isn't Wemby making much of difference when it comes to winning more games?

When the Bulls added Jordan, they won 11 more games vs the previous year.
Orlando Magic with Shaq added 20! more games vs the previous year.

One way to look at it is that the West is really really competitive this year and the Spurs are a really really bad team. Has taken some time for Wemby to settle in but there was also patches where it seemed like his teammates would ignore him on offense.

The Heat are just inevitable man. God damn. They just roll their eyes back in their head and suddenly decide to make shots and the lead is erased within 2 minutes. Wow.

Bucks Lakers going down to the wire. Entertaining 4th quarter for sure. Dlo doing his best to keep the Lakers in it after they gave up a lead.

Lakers had the ball with shotclock turned off, Dlo with a bucket to give them a 1 point lead with 5.9 on the clock. Now let's see what the Bucks do.

Dame game winning fade away shot attempt blocked by Dinwiddie of all players. lmao

That’s utterly hilarious way to lose if you’re Doc Rivers. DLo gives you 44 and Dame Time gets stuffed at the buzzer by Dinwiddie. Unserious team if you can’t even beat the Lakers without LeBron

Wolves battling but went down tonight against the Cavs. Naz with 34.

Ant couldn't replicate the magic of last night against the Pacers. Man he took over that game and that block at the end of the game was insane!

I missed the action yesterday. Nice early start tonight, so will get to watch something. Meanwhile, a picture I saw on my travels. Way to invade the celebration.

What's he doing here, bruv?
meanwhile.webp

Wolves just couldn't pull it off without KAT and Gobert. They gave it a good effort but Lakers are playing well and AD and Lebron both had good games.

Is Darvin Ham the most hated man in the West Coast?

lol Well, at least round my circle of Lakers fan friends, Yes.

Not sure which was worse today, Miami losing to the Wizards or Jimmy Butler's hair.

lol, Butler's hair was the spotlight for me.


AD ''with the historic stat line.''

Give me the 411 please, Karl.

First player with 25+ points, 25+ rebounds, 5+ assists, 5+ steals, 3+ blocks. A day before his birthday. That's it, it's the birthday part...

So I took Daniel Gafford o9.5 points tonight with him starting in place of Lively. Must be nice for him getting easy buckets from Luka for like 99.9% of your points. Compare that to playing with the Wizards :laughing: Dude's apparently made his last 26 or 27 field goal attempts.

Reddit post says he actually has the league record now since they started tracking this stat in 96. 28 field goals without a miss.

I’m gonna pretend like the Heat’s last three games never happened

Even the 7 game losing streak was better personally, I was confident that everything would be fine in the end and it was but after each game ive watched recently I’ve been legitimately pissed off and in a bad mood

Bam has been HORRIBLE jimmy has been too quiet, we lost josh Richardson we replaced him with 35 year old Patty mills. Rozier production has been great but still.

I don’t know if my lack of basketball knowledge is showing, but I’ve watched the past three games and aside from bam completely sucking balls and Jimmy not being a superstar (but still getting his guys in spots, feeding, playing quieter so not that bad w 17 pt avg I’d say) I don’t really know wtf the adjustment is. I mean they’ve all been close and played some quiet minutes down the stretch w bad fouls so maybe that would be my guess but the fact it happened thrice in a row makes me consider otherwise. My hot heat take is that the most important players are not Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, or Tyler Herro but Bam Adebayo and Kevin Love. If EITHER of them gets hurt in the post-season or even in the rest of the season Miami is straight up COOKED. Say your prayers and kiss your hopes goodbye.

And I really think that says a lot about the presumptuous nature of our roster construction. Miami’s had this same hole for years and literally the only reason it’s not complete dire straights is because the front office lucked out and somehow, I have no idea how, everything went fortunate enough and the corpse of Kevin Love made a career resurrection. First, the Cavs had to be dumb enough to let him go for peanuts. Then, Miami had to beat everyone and get him. Then it had to be a good fit with Miami. Then, he would have to miraculously rewind the clock and start playing well again, and then he would even more miraculously play well at the backup 5 shortly after Spoelstra realized Zeller totally sucked. And even then the only reason I’m bullish is because he improved this year. Last years minutes were somewhat serviceable but somehow he turned around again and now he’s been legit solid. Basically I love Klove.

I think Denver has won 11? Out of the last 12 against them so if they can’t cop a win on Wednesday doesn’t look too good. Pretty sure they don’t have a single win over a top 4 team in the west

Holy hell man. Lebron just swished a corner three falling away to his left. 41 points now.

Uhhh I forget if they can review this stuff and take the points off the board (I know they'll update 3s to 2s), but his back heel was apparently on the sideline.

What a farce the end of this game has been. Reviews taking forever... shot clocks not working...

Technology fails and the whole system falls apart huh. A few seconds of play here must have taken about 20 minutes.

You gotta be kidding me

Davis gets poked in the eye by 'calmer' Draymond and misses the game, LeBron goes insane 40 points, loses because Steph has more help

I'm so done with this ****ty, stupid, embarrassment of a sport

Everything I say comes true about the Dubs and Curry's luck and I mean everything. I hate it so much. Luckiest player in world history

LeBron will never get the credit he deserves for what he’s done for the game the past 20 years. His legacy will amount to nothing all because of the evil Golden State Warriors

I hate this sport

Isn't the real villain in all of this Kevin Durant? I think Curry would have been harmless enough otherwise had that transaction not happened and Bron would have won one or two more rings.

OK I’m officially concerned about Miami.

To lose to the Sixers who have been slightly above G League level since losing Embiid, getting cooked by Kelly Oubre and Kyle Lowry (who they traded) is rock bottom. That’s an awful national TV loss and also a sneakily big one in the play-in race.

Lakeshow with a nice comeback vs Milwaukee. Down 19 and win in double OT.

DLO also overcomes a 4 point first half to secure o20.5 points for me. (y)
