Have to agree.

Plus Giannis vs the Bulls have history.

We got to see a cool dunk at the end compared to a supreme athlete holding the ball.

You wanna be offended at someone scoring when the game is over, well instead maybe play better.

There should be more of it.

Imagine losing, and showing the most energy you have all game getting upset at the end. Haha. Show that same energy all game.

Some princesses out there.

I have no objections with what Giannis did, but do find it hilarious eh did it because you just know if the roles were reversed Giannis would be crying like a baby.

doesn't look good for Jokics knee, please be ok!!!

spurs50fan · 12-29-2025, 09:19 PM

There are times when Wemby looks great. Then times where he lets a team back in the game by himself smh

ninjacookies · 12-29-2025, 10:09 PM

I've seen enough.

Ship Good Hair + JJ.

Build around King Kongwu.

drobfan8 · 12-29-2025, 10:14 PM

The Cavs are gonna come good.

They've had guys in and out all season. They need their depth because they aren't exactly top heavy with stars.

Plus the East is dreadful so they can still come out of the East

spurs50fan · 12-29-2025, 10:20 PM

Walter Clayton one night, now Tyson??? Like who???

Tyson's been Cleveland's spark plug all year. Probably wouldn't recognize unless you watch their games though.

Next step in Castle's evolution will have to be getting the turnovers down. If he can do that he's on his way.

Agreed. I’ll settle for him not pulling up for 3 too

Yeah he's a beast when he takes it strong to the hoop. Needs to leave the perimeter stuff alone.

Cavs match up well vs the Spurs.

Wemby is the best defender in the NBA. The second best defender plays for the Cavs. Hard to stop Wemby, but Mobley made him work whenever they got a 1 on 1 matchup, and never needed a double team.

Also, Cavs played their best game of the year when they spread the ball around and didn't let one guy suck up all the usage. Go figure.

Is anybody buying MPJ cards? He looks like he's absolutely flourishing on the nets and from what I can see the only thing that's changed is the amount of usage he's actually getting, and his cards are dirt cheap at the moment

blackvodka · 12-30-2025, 02:29 AM

Oddly enough the two best games of the night were Orlando vs Toronto & Dallas vs Portland.

He's having a terrific season, but nothing about his game has changed, just his usage percentage. I think this season says more about what the perception was about him than anything else.

He’s a fine complimentary piece but I was really just talking about his hobby outlook.

There’s no upside to MPJ. He’s just stat stuffing on a terrible team

Oh yea, I was as well. I don't think the hobby outlook has changed because literally all that changed was his usage rate, he's the same player he's always been (which is a good offensive player!)

rhigh2390 · 12-30-2025, 01:00 PM

How far does Denver fall in the West in the next 4 weeks?

Fair. Egor Demin has looked promising, though.

ninjacookies · 12-31-2025, 01:12 AM

Fakers getting an early headstart in the Dybantsa sweepstakes I see.

Laravian Nights the only Chad on that squad worth his weight in defensive gold.

Shot out 8 Mile. Still on that Finals trajectory path. (yes, I will simultaneously diss the Fakers for being basura while clout-boosting my squad for trouncing them)

blackvodka · 12-31-2025, 09:15 AM

This just in:

The Sacramento Kings are tanking

Hopefully Braun and Gordon can return to the line up soon. Doesn't sound like Cam Johnson is playing soon though. The loss of Joker is rough, but I don't think they fall past 6th.

We will see.

hornets are fun to watch

they just need a really good center and a stronger bench

Chryghst · 12-31-2025, 04:56 PM

You hear of teams quitting on their coach until he gets fired. Pretty rare a team quits on a player. Atlanta very clearly taking nights off when Trae plays and then ramping it up when he’s out. Pretty wild to see.

spurs50fan · 12-31-2025, 10:13 PM

Perfect night to pop some Champagnie

So glad someone else showed up to play jeez
