You're a Bucks fan. Are you okay with taking on the risk of Giannis getting Covid and missing three weeks to play in a meaningless game?

You know what you don't want to go say you are "hurt" and can't go if you don't want to be there. It seems LeBron is crying more because he had a short off-season because they won the title. Boo hoo my heart bleeds for him he won the title so did not get as much rest as other players.

I can't believe they're wasting time on an ASG. Well... I understand why because the money but it's still dumb. Even without Covid it's a pointless game

spurs50fan · 02-05-2021, 08:45 AM

Can they opt out of the ASG? Only benefit is to the league and even then, the weekend is the draw not the game.

I for one, am completely surprised that the football bro coming in here doesn't give a crap about the health and safety of the players and just wants them to shut up and play a useless exhibition game which he likely won't watch anyway.

Agree.

But then the NBA is making a name for itself as being the stupidest and most reckless league vis-a-vis the pandemic.

The league should have reconfigured the divisions geographically (like the NHL did), and scheduled divisional games only.

Having intraconference games during the pandemic is completely unnecessary.

Spacemanspif · 02-05-2021, 07:34 PM

anyone want to create a gif of Lonzo taking his time and still blowing that layup at around 2:30 Q1 of the NOLA / Indy game?

Dame · 02-05-2021, 08:29 PM

Zion just had his Shaq like moment lol

codered · 02-05-2021, 09:36 PM

Great 3rd qtr by Siakam. Still not sure wtf is going on with Durant. Not sure what the hell the league is thinking. Let’s close this out raps!

codered · 02-05-2021, 09:46 PM

What’s going on with these refs tonight in Brooklyn? Harris smacked Powell and bloodied him up......no foul.

rifleman69 · 02-05-2021, 09:47 PM

Who's taking bets that the next 2-3 Nets and Raptor games are postponed? What a freakin' mess.

Absolute mess. You tell the guy today he can’t play because of Covid protocols only to clear him a few hours later (just before the game). Then during the game you pull him again for covid protocols? Seriously need to hear the explanation

codered · 02-05-2021, 10:15 PM

Great win for the Raps!! 3 in a row and 8 of the last 12! Huge 4th by Lowry. Lowry and siakam both 30+ tonight! On to ATL

I feel like everyone is out on the Raps because of the poor start but they’re quietly .5 game out of the playoff spot. I’d still bet on them over CLE, NYK, CHA at this point. Siakam having a nice little scoring stretch as well

Definitely! I mean I know we aren’t a top 3 team in the east anymore but I still think this is a low seed playoff team. We struggled early this year losing some close game and not being able to close out in the 4th. It also took about a dozen games for nurse to figure out his rotations and what he has on the bench. Bembry and Watanabe have been nice little surprises

I’m glad Siakam is learning and has made adjustments to his game. He’s back to playing the way he did before. Attacking the rim and points in the paint. He was getting a little too complacent shooting pull up 3’s because that’s what the defence was giving him. Unfortunately he’s not a great 3 point shooter off the dribble. He’s like an 18% shooter off the dribble and like 41% on spot ups haha he still occasionally tosses up the pull up 3 but luckily he’s phasing that part of his game out.

My gracious, Jazz 26-50 from three. It’s hard to stop when it’s coming from all over the floor. Bogdanovic with 31, Mitchell with 30. This team is en fuego.

Spoiled a 34 point night from LaMelo. I have to admit, he’s way better than I thought he would be.

Lamelo is everything Lonzo was supposed to be

Although I am grateful for Lonzo’s game tonight to eke out a win over the Pacers, can you imagine if you had Lamelo instead with Zion??? SCARY.

Durant will probably miss three games not including last night assuming they don't change their mind about his "close contact" status. Hilarious to see the guy who already have Covid have to miss two stretches because of contact tracing. Brilliant move NBA.

sportzluvr1 · 02-06-2021, 10:26 AM

Hornets hit big on Lamelo. I’m happy for them.

Last night was an embarrassment for the league. Not following their own protocol by holding KD out before a conclusive test, then pulling him midway through the game. If the concern was that legitimate, the game should have been postponed, and the Nets should not be playing tonight either.

Dude is must see TV, just wait until he starts getting respect from the refs. Should've had 40 pts last night.
