Oladipo season-ending knee injury.

I feel bad for Oladipo and Coach McMillan, cause Pacers were vying for home court advantage throughout the EC playoffs.

Who is the guy that may be the best, most consistent player that few people ever talk about ?!? He averages 20/10/7 on the second seeded team in the west, a game behind GSW who has won 11 straight to pass them?

Nikola Jokic does it game in and game out....he has been amazingly consistent. During recent times, playing without Jamal Murray he has kept that team winning and is a guy that can do literally everything on the court. He shoots 50% from the field, 31% from 3 and his assist average is something we would fantasize about our PG having.

Did I mention he is 23 and drafted in the second round?

Oh, just a curiosity....his backup averages 7.6/5.8/2.5.....not bad....could the Knicks use a guy with that kinda effort night n and night out? Well they had him, Mason Plumlee :)


….and this is all happening on Denver....you don't hear much about them do you? You hear about GSW, obviously, and the Lakers with Lebron, the Pelicans with AD, etc....Denver, why does that team ring a bell? Did we make a trade with them a while back?!?

Yeah, I want to see what Jokic is all about but the NBA rarely shows Denver games, and when they do its late and I gotta sleep.

NBA definitely has a problem with small markets. Just look at whats going on with Davis.

Yea, interesting :) He fits perfectly with them to replace Capela while he is out, a similar player....agile, good defender and rebounder and mostly just scoring on lobs and putbacks.

Also....a great example of what a playmaker and a guy that can open the court up can do for you :)

Really??? Slipped and fell at home? When did John Wall turn into a grandma? Hard to believe this to be true.

Russell has improved a lot and that wouldnt be bad at all. Still like Dinwiddie more than him though. Nets really struggling without him right now.

that philly trade is crazy....clippers have overachieved surprised they traded tobias and mess the chemistry up...they may be so sold on Kawhi and AD they dont even care.

plus they can use those assets from philly to get AD

no Steve Ballmer doesn't care, he's a lot like LeBron james. Two freaking ego-maniacs. But other's do care. Blake Griffin wouldn't even shake Ballmer's hand. The Clippers are rolling, especially Tobias, and this is what he does?? I predict Ballmer will get shunned by Kawaii!! :drunk:

And wow, I would fucking hate to be a Laker's fan now. Bron doing whatever the fck he wants?? what a shitty leader....

Our situation was completely different, we traded a disgruntled , injured player, who demanded to be traded. Knicks karma >>>>>>Clippers +Lakers. 8-)

PS, Philly's going to come out of the East.

Ok, GSW was good but since Boogie has joined them....

this may be their best team of all and they haven't even hit their high yet.
