as for him, he deserves a lot of respect for his longevity, and dedication to keeping himself in the best condition, and he is an excellent player
What a joke stopping the game. Tell me what other sport grinds to a halt midway when a record is broken.Quote:

I found it bizarre as well.Quote:

Funny kind of season, there’s probably at least 5 teams (Denver, Golden State, Phoenix, Boston, Milwaukee) who are strong candidates to win it all, maybe Philadelphia too, yet no one standout team either
Good start for the lakers there with some good numbers all around for them.
Currently watching golden state vs King's game 7.
Was surprised at miami 4-1 win vs the bucks and lebron couldn't get another ring could he?
Watched Miami game 1 v knicks yesterday don’t normally manage to catch many games live was greatQuote:

Close series with Celtics and 76ers and suns and nuggets.
Miami and lakers look on course for the conference final.

of the teams left, I’m definitely lending my support to Boston :greengrin
Very impressive performance and a Lakers vs Celtics final would be cool all though Denver will be a tough series and I expect Boston to advance vs the Heat.Quote:

lakers nuggets is really tough to call, think Davis vs jokic will be critical. Davis the better defender, but jokic is so good offensively
What's the deal with the players wearing tights - and sometimes just on the one leg?
I'm sure they wear arm sleeves to improve the circulation in the shooting arm so probably just improves this on the leg which is most likely the leg they use more in a game?Quote:

some of them as padded at the knee or elbow, to protect from impact injuries between bodies clashing or hitting the floor.
I did notice one of the Boston players had a T-shirt type top in under his jersey, which had padding on the chest, presumably to help protect when taking a charge.
lastly, I think some of it is just patter, following the crowd, like footballers wearing bandages wrapped round their wrists, or those wee tube things that were popular for a bit to wear over your socks to keep your shin pads up, or putting Vicks on their chest.
Didn't see the game last night, looked like a good effort from the Lakers but Jokic with 21 rebounds 14 Assists and 34 points just enough for the Nuggets.
2-0 heat another quality performance from play off Jimmy, Bam having a great game as well a lot of pressure on celtics now
Was wondering if any Hibee NBA geeks are playing Sorare?
The Joker is a robot

that said, You’re right, the joker had an incredible play offs and incredible finals, there’s very few in the league that can give him a challenge when he’s in this form
All eyes will be on Wembanyama next season, how you think he will do? To much pressure for a rookie season? He does look a freakish player.Quote:

what I would say, is that going to San Antonio, with Pop as his coach and looking like Tim Duncan as a mentor figure, is that he should have a fantastic starting point and some great people to guide him, if he chooses to lean into that and take on what they have to share. If he’s patient, and works on what they want to with him, and they can build a decent squad around him, he could be a playoffs mainstay for 15 years, albeit there’s many external factors that could have a heavy influence.
the best thing the spurs can do (and I fully expect them to) is keep him away from toxic locker room presences, and me-first players.
what’s your thoughts?
