Everyone is dumb Quote The interest among the Players Association is partly due to charitable causes. NBPA president Chris Paul wants to hold the game to financially benefit Historically Black Colleges and Universities and assist in COVID-19 relief efforts. Turner Sports, which holds the TV rights, is headquartered in Atlanta. The game could be held in the Hawks’ State Farm Arena, or an Atlanta-based HBCU campus gymnasium, Wojnaowski adds. The NBA has scheduled a midseason break on March 5-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) When LeBron is taking the initiative, he's still unguardable. He's hit some crazy shots in the last 5 minutes against the Cavs, 21 in the quarter I believe. This Lakers team is just so good on defense, especially in comparison to the Nets playing this same Cavs team. Schroeder and Caruso making life very difficult on Sexton. edit: look at this shit Edited January 26, 2021 by Jiji 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Thoughts on Walker right now? It's tough to watch. How long does Budenholzer have to turn things around? Bucks clearly aren't bad but they're nowhere near their best and Budenholzer is seen as a regular season coach. If he can't do it now, how likely is it they find success in the playoffs?

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Was i tagged here? Yeah Kemba looks pretty well shot. He will still give random solid performances but as a #3 on a title contender it's getting bad... It's a damn good thing Tatum and Brown have been all-world.

Jiji Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hah, just as Dallas goes on a five game losing streak. Okay, I turned it off after Kyrie was sent to the line with 11 seconds to go and the Wizards were down 3 and had no timeouts. I then find out that the Wizards won by 3 in regulation. What. What?

No defense was played at all in that game Quote With Washington down 146-141, Beal hit a 3-pointer with 8.1 seconds left. Garrison Matthews deflected Joe Harris' inbounds pass to Westbrook and he made a 3 with 4.3 seconds left for a 147-146 lead. Kyrie Irving found Timothe Luwawu-Carbarrot under the basket with 2.9 seconds left, but his layup attempt spun around the rim and failed to drop. Beal added two free throws with 0.7 seconds left as the Wizards broke a four-game losing steak and improved to a still NBA-worst 4-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 On one hand, the Nets are fighting history. Only two teams in NBA history have ever won a title with three twenty point a game scorers. On the other, those were the two titles Kevin Durant won with the Warriors. Of course, Brooklyn doesn't have anybody who even slightly resembles Draymond Green. And Kyrie and Harden aren't exactly Klay Thompson on defense.

RIPPA Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Quote Four courtside fans -- at least one of whom was not covering her face with a mask -- were ejected from Monday's game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks following a verbal spat with Lakers star LeBron James, the Hawks confirmed to ESPN. Juliana Carlos, who later posted on social media, and her husband, Chris Carlos, exchanged words with James in the fourth quarter of the visiting Lakers' 107-99 win, prompting the ejection. Juliana Carlos posted a video on her Instagram account showing the scene shortly after State Farm Arena security personnel and one of the referees, Mitchell Ervin, intervened. She can be heard saying, "Shut the f--- up. Don't talk to my husband like that," while standing on the sideline with her mask pulled down below her chin. Someone off camera can be heard asking her to put her mask on, which is required of all fans attending NBA games this season. She wrote "f---ing loser" in a text box to accompany the video, with her camera pointed at James. After the ejection, Carlos posted a selfie-style video, offering her account of what happened. "So, I'm minding my own business, and Chris has been a Hawks fan forever. He's been watching the games for 10 years. Whatever, he has this issue with LeBron. I don't have an issue with LeBron. I don't give a f--- about LeBron," she says in the video. "Anyway, I'm minding my own business, drinking my [beverage], having fun. All of the sudden, LeBron says something to my husband, and I see this and I stand up. And I go, 'Don't f---ing talk to my husband.' And he looks at me and he goes, 'Sit the f--- down, bitch.' And I go, 'Don't f---ing call me a bitch. You sit the f--- down. Get the f--- out of here. Don't f---ing talk to my husband like that.'" James was not asked postgame about Carlos' name-calling allegation, but he was not fazed by the incident and said he felt like an ejection was unnecessary. "At the end of the day, I'm happy fans are back in the building," he said after putting up 21 points, nine assists and seven rebounds to help L.A. to the road win. "I miss that interaction. I need that interaction; we as players need that interaction. I don't feel like it was warranted to be kicked out." He did say that alcohol could have been a factor, however. "They might have had a couple drinks, maybe," he said. "And they could have probably kept it going during the game, and the game wouldn't have been about the game no more, so I think the referees did what they had to do." James also said that Chris Carlos went "out of bounds" with whatever he directed at him. "I guess [Carlos] said something that rubbed the big dawg the wrong way," added Lakers center Montrezl Harrell. While James said he was not close enough to the fans to be potentially compromised by Juliana Carlos removing her mask, other members of the Lakers found it unacceptable. "It certainly exposed something with regard to having fans in the pandemic," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. "You obviously can't have fans taking their masks down and shouting at our players with the virus out there during these times." "With COVID going on, we obviously can't have that," L.A. big man Anthony Davis echoed. "We want to make sure we all can be safe." James later tweeted about Carlos, bestowing her with a derisive nickname commonly used to mock entitled white women. The Hawks are one of nine NBA teams currently allowing fans to attend their home games. Atlanta's State Farm Arena currently allows up to 8% of its capacity for Hawks games, according to a team official. Monday's announced attendance was 1,341. Despite the episode, several Lakers still supported fans coming to their games. "We love having fans at the game. Whether we're home or away, it just brings back the game that we love, that joy from the fans and the support," Davis said. "Whether it's 500 people or 1,000, 1,500, whatever it is, it's always enjoyable to play in front of a crowd." "I love our fans," James reiterated. "Laker Nation and everybody else that's against Laker Nation. It just feels better. Fans in the stands is just -- it's just better. It's better for everybody -- especially on the last game of a 14-day road trip." You do you ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
