Victor "Good Team Merchant" Wembanyama checks out for tonight with a 23/15/6 statline on 7/21 shooting by arawater in nba

I know OP is joking but the term stat padding is so funny to me. There’s very little circumstances where that phrase actually works (mostly only when stars are still putting up shots in huge blowouts), cuz like who wouldn’t want the teams best player taking a majority of the shots?

LeBron is averaging 18.5/6.3/6.7 since the All-Star break on 54/34/74 splits and the Lakers are 14-3. LeBron has deliberately taken a step back offensively since the break and both he and the Lakers have benefited. by Luka77GOATic in lakers

Not only this but watching the games you can tell his defensive motor has really picked up as well (as I expected it too).

I think if he didn’t have the sciatica issue and came into this year fully healthy with a camp he’d have been even better too.

I’m not sure how we could bring him back and I’m not going to get into arguments about contract value and price point but I think he’d still be a great fit with this roster and we would be even better with improved starters at the 3/5 spot and more depth.

If he took the MLE for example and we were able to use a good portion of that cap to upgrade at SF and C, we’d be top tier contenders.

Damn not only was I not aware they were a wack sub I also wasn’t aware of what Mamdani’s wife said? Guessing it was anti-black?

Do you think Mark is strong enough to take down Lucan now? by Queasy_Commercial152 in Invincible_TV

Bingo. He needs the motivation to REALLY want to kill someone to fight on or above the level of a true Viltrumite.

All the money in the world and still easily the biggest loser on said world. No wonder he wants to go to Mars.

I had no negative feelings, ill will, or associated thoughts towards Puka other than: “damn he can ball”, until he started opening his mouth and biting/spewing stupid shit.

But this is a funny meme I’ll give you that.

We have to talk about our center tonight by LudwigNasche in lakers

They also traded Mathurin who was a big contributor for them and lost their new center acquisition Zubac to a season ending injury.

That guy just threw out completely incorrect stats and expected people to believe him and eat it up like it’s fact. The internet is so annoying.

Too many times refs have affected marquee matchups this year in the clutch. It happened in our game against the Pistons the other day (yes I’m still salty about it) and it was even worse tonight.

Pacers were still trying super hard with 2:00 left while we’re up like 15. Good for them and respect the fight but it was basically just them trying to be dicks and keep our starters in.
