Jumped their mascot then went out and put 140 points on the Bulls



This team reminding me of those grit & grind Memphis teams. Ime got them boys playing all out on defense. Tari & Amen putting niggaz on clamps. Even Sengun has improved defensively.

I just need Jalen & Jabari to play up to their true potential.

I’m imagining the Cavs make it to that silly ass NBA Cup title game undefeated, lose, and then win another 15 straight and we’re gonna be expected to say they had the longest winning streak in NBA history when we all saw them lose the biggest game of the year so far on national TV right in the middle of it.

This is why that game should not be an exhibition!!!

I don’t even want the Warriors to make it and waste Steph’s energy and health on a meaningless game.

Ray Allen is just the nigga that hit that shot that saved LeBron in Miami now. His actual career is a forgotten memory and isn't relevant to up and coming NBA players. Bron haters along with Steph and Harden done wiped him out. Tragic.

The purists and true snipers of the league will give Ray his props.

In today's league Ray would be still be dominant / formidable

James Harden shot 36.3% for his career 2973 for 8187

Ray Allen shot 40% for his career, 2973 for 7429

It took James Harden over 750 more shots to tie Ray, (not sure how many shots he took in tonight's game)

Conversely, Steph Curry shot 3782, for 8886 = 42.6%

In today's game Ray would have way more opportunities to shoot. Just based on Hardens attempts Ray would be at 3275, (8187 X .40 = 3,274.8)

This some James Harden shit :smh: Rest of the team in Memphis and you fly to New York.

And then proceed to drop 13 points in a blowout loss.

Bring the Amnesty the fuck back:hmm:

Unfortunately thats not how it works. 30 years from now I cant say what LeBron would be doing in a present day league, he will be judged by what he actually did. Michael Jordan and Kobe are the only players that can live off rep, everyone else is judged by their production and results. Ray should've done more.

Whenever the convo of all time shooting guards comes up, Ray is NEVER mentioned EVER. And there's a reason for that.

There are no young players in the league even name dropping him. When they think 3 point shooting, they think Steph, Harden, Lillard, or Klay. Ray just isnt in the convo anymore.

"The legendary Inside the NBA studio team will appear on ESPN and ABC surrounding high-profile live events, including ESPN’s pregame, halftime and postgame coverage of the NBA Finals on ABC, Conference Finals, NBA Playoffs, all ABC games after January 1, Christmas Day, opening week, the final week of the season and other marquee live events."​

So it seems the shitty ESPN halftime show will live on during non-"marquee" regular season matchups?

It'll be Inside the NBA opening week and then not again until Christmas?

I hope there are safeguards against ESPN ruining it with excessive commercials like the way they sabotage their own product.
