He was very good in the regular season though.
NBA 2019-2020

The Pacers scored a whooping 3 points from the bench. 
What an awful loss for the Rockets yesterday, must be awful supporting that team . Just a lot of brainless jacking of 3's with 15 seconds left on the shot clock
As much I’d want a more or less genuine team in the Bucks to win, despite it being Milwaukee .... I’ve gotta slot the Lakers in as pretty strong faves right now.
Great to see OKC pull some tricks out, watched them in January vs Nets, nifty team. But whens Westbrook back? If at all? His transition to the Rockets impressed me too, big miss at the moment.

Yeah, was about to say, whoever does that would do a mistake. Although he often overperforms in playoffs, I give him that. Had some great playoff matchups with Atlanta.
I missed that LBJ Mamba authentic jersey drop on the Lakers store last night and my salt levels are through the roof..
Speaking of Luka, anyone recall the Haws/Mavs trade? Young has turned out to be a pretty good player but think Atlanta would redo that in hindsight?
I think so.
Young is an absolute beast, he's all you could realistically want from a #3 pick and more. But Luka is special. He already runs what is statistically the most efficient offense in NBA history (only one ever with 116+ points/100 posessions). Even when you look at best offenses relative to league average in the respective year, it's still firmly in the top 10. With a team that, quality wise, isn't comparable to the other teams on that list relative to their competitors. Doncic is different. It's pointless to argue the exact trajectory he will take, but I don't see how Young could reach the heights Doncic will.
Series over now even more than it already was.
All the LA games that sky are showing are fecking blowouts
Clippers when they click are frightening.
Absolute bullshit from Morris on Doncic with that step on his hurt ankle though. They are playing and acting like thugs against a partly injured 21-year-old kid and an inferior team who has Porzingis out too.
And am saying this as someone who kind of likes them.

Yeah, no review even. Diabolical refereeing.
Can Morris still get a suspension?

Yeah he acts like a bum the whole series.
Cnut. As deliberate as they fecking come.
The Morris brothers are nasty cnuts.
The Pacers have fired McMillan.
I agree that they must do something, but I'm not sure that not playing is the right thing to do. Genuinely don't know what would be best.
Imagine how they feel. These players see another huge episode of social injustice, and it hurts them dearly. By choosing to play, they're going to send a message that basketball takes precedence over social/sociopolitical issues. If anything, whatever decision they make will come after tons of deliberation among themselves, their teams, and the NBA.
Wow. That would be some statement. How would the league handle it if no players show up?
Yeah, to some degree I agree, but by not playing they might take away their own platform. I think it might influence more people if they do play and make a clear statement for the whole country to see.
On the other hand if they cancel the whole playoffs themselves, they might force decision makers into faster reactions maybe - I honestly don't know.
They'd surely be consulted before any such action is taken. There's no way the players would boycott the NBA lest they want they themselves and their teams to suffer the consequences.
No idea, but they all have to stand together obviously. If Toronto and Boston agree not to play but Milwaukee continues to play, they'll just be awarded a place in the Finals if they beat Miami and you show that you can't even have unity amongst your own players, that would be a total disaster.
Fred VanVleet talked about that recently. He talked about whether coming out and sending the message will even make a difference given that the Jacob Blake incident happened despite their current messages. That hurt VanVleet in particular who also talked about the conversations he'd have with his kids about how they'd have to act in front of the police and such.
Appreciate that that must be difficult and infuriating, yeah... The whole issue will be brought up even more once the NFL returns in two weeks time, but indeed, what good are the messages if those incidents keep happening.
I don't have the right answer either, that much I know.
That makes the two of us. Hopefully the NBA empathise with the players and give them some leeway if they don't feel comfortable playing the first game tomorrow.
Don't look like this bucks game is happening. Boycotts under way.
This is excellent. Looks like the NBA has given an okay to the players and teams for this.
I Don't expect any games today or tomorrow.
Great move by the Bucks, and I'm glad that the NBA are okay with this.
Doee this mean the series is now 3-2.
It's not normal what is happening around them while they are playing basketball. Respect for that decision.
"Can't wait" to see the reaction of the redneck Wisconsin people nearby to this. Some of them were already posting on our local neighborhood site that Blake deserved what he got. Guarantee the usual "Shut up and dribble" comments.
Rockets-Thunder too apparently, maybe Lakers too. This is massive.
Big move by the Bucks, watching the Milwaukee feed on NBA TV this is an organisation that is about change - this is not a gimmick.
More than a Game.
More than a Game.
Oh the Lakers definitely not taking the court now.
Rockets game is not going ahead either
