    That Jazz-letting-Westbrook-go-and-him-signing-with-the-Clippers thing looks to be working out. lol at the Suns.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        I really enjoyed that game.

        The Suns lack of depth is likely to be a huge issue for them. They swung for the fences with the Durant deal, but they have no bench. If Landry Shamet is playing meaningful minutes in a playoff game, there is a problem with your roster construction.

        Durant played 45 minutes last night.
        Booker played 43 minutes
        Paul played 39 minutes

        Kawhi is the only player on the Clippers that played more than 39 minutes.

        It is going to be hard for the Suns them to sustain playing at a high level without rest.

          Is there any team with better luck getting the 1st pick in the right year than the San Antonio Spurs?

            Ha. No way Popovich is retiring now.

              A lot of people don't realize that at 7-1 Wilt had a higher vertical than Michael Jordan. He would have dominated in any era. He was a beast.

                How dumb are the Rockets? 80 million on a 4 year contract for Brooks? Not sure why anyone would pay him more than a vets minimum and that is over paying for him.

                  I imagine most have heard the news of Bronny James having suffered a heart attack in practice at USC by now. Sounds like he's doing well, but the idea of an 18 year old young man having a heart attack during practice has to be incredibly scary and one has to wonder if his future as bball talent is in jeopardy. i've never been convinced he's an NBA player, but a solid four year career at the D1 level is nothing to sneeze at.

                      That was wild. I wonder what the NBA will do with fines, etc.

                        I think he was only trying to choke him out, not murder him, but I could be wrong. Also, murder is a possible result of his attempts to choke him out.

                        Either way, I think a suspension seems appropriate, and you could see terror in Gobert's eyes.

                        Reminds me of this Key and Peele skit.

                          Hahaha, you are right, its just like that.

                          Draymond better get a few games. You can't drank a man across the floor by his throat and not expect a little discipline.

                            A chokehold crosses all kinds of lines. They need to make a statement here.

                              Draymond certainly overreacted (quelle surprise) but from his viewpoint, it looked like Gobert had a chokehold on Klay Thompson and is pulling him away.. Gobert definitely had his arm around Klay's neck, and was trying to do exactly what Draymond was doing--pulling an opponent by the neck away from a fight (never a good idea). Draymond is just a tougher guy than the big lug Gobert.. Suspend them both, albeit longer for Dray.

                                When I grew up, it was a little bit of a different time. When all of a sudden did we become that woke that the thought of two people, one responding to a threat directly, saying OK, you threatened me. Here’s your opportunity. Take me up on it?
