It is Biden's destiny to be up in at least three essential swing states before the election and lose

So I'm guessing that this means Thibs will take out the Celtics for Doc and then he'll barely squeak out a 7 game series win over the Clippers after Kawhi gets COVID

Curious to see how he'll do if they prevent him from hunting for fouls now that they're calling fewer of them

they already only call about 10-20% of fouls committed against embiid so I’m sure he will adapt

that is the whole reason he has mainly switched to a face up game. refs do not call post up shooting fouls

the trick to that fake stat is that they only call 10-20% of fouls for basically everybody by that math. usually when they call a foul there’s actually multiple on the same drive and they just pick one to call rather than fouling someone out on one possession because he hit the shooters arm and hip and was in the landing space and blocked the drive slightly and had his hand on the shooters back during the drive and pulled his jersey a bit when trying to deny the entry pass? that should be 6 fouls in 3 seconds yet they only call one? curious…. 🧐

Fouls are an integral part of Embiid's strategy though so this same restriction which is only incidental for most players is in fact an unfair nerf which they should by all rights fix in the next gameplay patch

James Harden is so unlikable. How he has fans ia beyond me.

Now Kawhi, that man is likable. He seems like a chill guy you could have a chill time with.

Paul George has serious two first name energy. That can be a good thing as long as youre prepared for it. Also he fishes, which Ive always wanted to know more about.

I mean, Russ is my favorite player of the 2010s, so Ill allow it. I also dont give a poo poo about the clippers either, if that helps.

Lakers historically get better by signing disgruntled established stars.

Typically, they're underwhelming in the draft, underwhelming in player development, underwhelming in that certain "j'nai c'est quois."

As long as they're located in the heart of LA, they'll be good. Just throw that money around Bussie!

It's fun as hell to watch after every commentator bloviated about how two center lineups can never work in today's NBA.

Yeah, it helps that for all the centers they have, Gobert is the only one who doesn't have an outside shot.
