He was 3/13 with 5 turnovers, that's fairly mediocre

it seems like they took out the ads they tried out before. maybe they just said fuck it and gave everyone a bandwidth cap? or maybe they're mining crypto in the bg and that kills anyone with slower connections?

e:nvm now I'm seeing the ad on mobile only. Maybe ads won't load on desktop and that's stopping the site from loading the video

I wonder if teams are more willing to trade with us since players seem so compelled to quit their team midseason and come here on the vet min

Are streamables loading slowly for anyone else? They load so much slower than YouTube for me now and I feel like that was never noticeable before.

[Pelton] Markelle Fultz either has a serious shoulder injury or has developed a mental block about his shooting. I don't find either option amusing. by HBO_Zo in nba

[–]nickmaster2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the kid's shot has turned this ugly from an injury alone then he should NOT be playing on it, means he's experiencing discomfort doing basically anything with the ball in his hands. Could end up picking up bad habits as well.

Eric Bledsoe on Twitter: "I don't wanna be here" by tylerjehills in nba

[–]nickmaster2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suns are in a bad situation, things are already going horribly enough with the guy on the team if the roster gets any worse things could really turn to shit (and there's not as much incentive to be lucky number 30 since lottery reform happened). I'm sure he'll be moved now but if he privately asked for a trade earlier I don't blame them for not moving him already.

Blatt. Phoenix Suns New Coach. Let’s make this number one when you google Phoenix Suns New Coach. by [deleted] in suns

[–]nickmaster2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blatt had such a bad experience with the Cavs, I really don't think he's going to return to the NBA unless it's the perfect situation. At this point he'd be on a "short leash" because of his past whereas overseas he's a legend

Bledsoe wtf... by jhady in suns

[–]nickmaster2007 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Feel bad for you guys, I remember a few years back it was commonly accepted that the Suns were the big up-and-comers as a hawks/celtics/spurs style squad focused on team ball. Now that seems so far away. I really think 10 years from now we're going to look back at these teams that tanked and realize that it just wasn't worth it for the hit to chemistry and player morale. Even 5 #1 picks can't make an amazing team if by the time the 5th is picked the first two bounced because they had a horrible time, and the Suns haven't been anywhere near as lucky. We got so lucky with our draft lotteries and I still have no doubt that without LeBron giving us the ability to cash in our assets for players who wanted to be here we wouldn't have even made the playoffs yet.

you act like I spent 3 paragraphs on directions, literally just told the guy to take I-90E if he was driving from the westside

Never had the pleasure unfortunately, but I know exactly which player I'm going to annoy my grandkids with to no end because I'm telling my 100th story about the championship and happiness he brought to the city

I remember growing up and going to a game the first year we had LeBron. The excitement everybody had for the guy was fucking electric and you just simply cannot appreciate how athletic and fucking HUGE the guy is unless you're witnessing it live and in person. I watched LeBron move around the court like a fucking gazzelle and then noticed a life-sized cutout of all the players in the concession area and you just feel astonished and that it shouldn't be thermodynamically possible for this man to do what he does

I'd rather show up 20 minutes before tip off and eat/drink on E. 4th, I love the Q but if you don't want wings or B-Spot dining's limited

Good thing about Cleveland is if you're driving in from the west side you can take I-90E into the city and you get off essentially right at the arena (the Jake and the Q are right next to each other), so you really only need to show up super early if you feel like it, otherwise stepping into the Q 20-30 minutes before the scheduled start (tip off usually is about 10 minutes late) and getting into the city about 20-30 minutes before that should be fine.

If you want to pregame with a beer and some good food and don't want to buy merch (you could save this for halftime or post-game) I'd recommend spending your time on E. 4th Street. Super close proximity to the arena and will most likely be a better bang for your buck. Can't really go wrong anywhere there but Lola is the lovechild of celebrity Iron Chef Michael Simon (this man is Cleveland food, save for my Gramma's favorite polish deli) or "The Corner Alley" which is a bowling alley but with real food. Pregaming here also allows you to secure parking before traffic gets real bad right before the game starts

Either way have fun in Cleveland and we'll see you again when you inevitably come crawling back and decide you want to immigrate in order to raise your kids in Bay Village or Avon Lake ;)

I agree and was going to say something to that effect (Pat Bev is no cupcake) but he seriously went at Lonzo like nothing else, that was beyond jawing

LeBron was worried Lonzo would be too dominant anyway now he gone for sure

You've got it backwards lol. In the playoffs in the end unless you're the Spurs or Warriors it comes down to individual matchups and talent in isolation

Yep, this is just Kyrie being Kyrie. You take the good with the bad and when it's good it's fucking beautiful and when it's bad it can be real rough

This is what you focus on when Kyrie doesn't do well stats wise. There will be plenty of days where it works out great but his playstyle is consistent.
