haven’t been able to watch much of the game, has Klay looked as terrible as his box numbers indicate? is he hurt

He's Vintage Klay every second half and can't hit a single shot every first half. It's loving weird at this point.

But his defense is picking up at least.

Klay isn't 100% for sure but when he is on, he is ON
and those games where he is ON go from competitive to just over really quick
and yeah, his defense is way better than it was when he came back from his injuries, he's healing I hope but I always get squeamish when he dunks

paging euph to get his opinion on gobert not even making 3rd team all nba and embiid being 2nd team yet again

edit: i just found out that embiid got more overall AND first team votes than tatum. the whole system of only allowing one center and two guards/forwards each is rear end backwards

the only takeaway I have is that people agree Gianni’s and embiid are good but the refs kept them out of the conference finals for some reason .

I’d expect some (more ) major red changes this off-season to follow on from last year . this Boston Miami series is not a good look

all I’m saying is that a year after the league told the refs to not call fouls on stars you now have a conference finals round with no stars.

so . maybe that’s what they wanted ?? idk

Booker is overrated but that Suns team saw a lot of regular season success so he got the bump up to first team.

Same with Smart and DPOY, although not quite as offensively bad of a pick.

You were probably sucking on pacifiers back then but T-Mac was first team both of these years and probably should have been MVP in 2003

LV definitely going to have a NBA team — they’re already building a 20,000 seat arena near Las Vegas Blvd and Blue Diamond Road. Oakland Athletics are also rumored to be moving to LV in baseball.

There is a WNBA Seattle team that still uses the SuperSonics colors.

nah, unlike the grizzlies Minnesota fans go to twolves games the more they win

grizzlies attendance this year was only 3k off from what it was during the 2 years when they were on Vancouver before the trade lol.

all this could be fixed by giving Vancouver and Seattle their teams back, adding the okc ‘klansmen’ and Memphis ‘blues’ to the east and giving Vegas some team for the west
