Not a lot of info gets released with this stuff.
Sounds like he tested positive. I can’t believe these guys didn’t get vaccinated and now they could miss some of the most important games of their career. And if he was vaccinated but still tested positive then the NBA needs to fuck off with the quarantining.
Kawhi ACL injury. Whoa.
Lebron sure does love to toot his own horn

In fairness, he called out Silver directly when he announced that they were starting Christmas.
He is the leader of the league and all the players follow his lead on stuff like this. Frankly, it would be irresponsible for him to stay quiet about what is going on.

Do they follow him? A third of the league hadn’t played since March. Very few are being paid like he is.
Lebron is right, the timetable sucks. But there were consequences - not just to players - to not playing sooner than later.
Maybe I’m just sick of his ego. “They all didn’t want to listen to me. I knew exactly what would happen.” I’m pretty sure everyone was aware of what could have happened. If you want to be a leader, quit making it about you.
Also, I don’t think this strenuous NBA schedule is the reason Kawhi, Harden, or Kyrie are hurt.
The Atlanta Hawks are one game away from the eastern conference finals. Ben Simmons 4-14 free throw line. This guy needs to figure it out.

Strong disagree about Harden. Slight disagree about Kawhi. Kyrie was a fluke.
But tons of players got hurt all year and into the playoffs, and I definitely think the condensed schedule was the main reason. They were wear and tear type injuries, less the fluke ones (Kyrie, LeBron)
Can we really call any Kyrie injury a fluke at this point in his car
Hawks to the eastern finals. Amazing. Trae Young has been incredible to watch. Tonight was the Kevin Huerter game.
Not sure what happens to Ben Simmons from here but hard to believe he plays in Philly next season. That wide open dunk he passed out of late in the game was unbelievable.

Lol true. Just meant his rolled ankle wasn’t related to a condensed schedule like the others probably are.

He’s gotta go. Lowry would be perfect on the Lakers or Philly. I’d predict that is a battle for him this off-season. Not sure what else, but they need to make some changes. Simmons — even before he became the 0&D — was a horrible fit for them. Now? He’s straight unplayable.
OKC will take him and some picks but I don’t know who else is going to want to touch that salary.
That Suns ending was just awful with the reviews. Then saved by Ayton after PG choked.
Can we finally just get rid of replay in sports?

You didn’t like the last 90 seconds taking 33 real time minutes? Beverly is still swirling his finger in the air somewhere.

Id be cool with all sports abandoning it aside from scoring plays. Thats basically if its off in time for basketball, handful of things for football (but still limiting the use dramatically) and then fair/foul or HR/not HR in baseball
The who it went off of last, did runner come off the base for a millisecond on slide, etc is just not what replay is meant for.

That couldn’t sound worse
So Bridges misses the corner three with a few seconds left and ball goes out of bounds. I think they ruled it went off the Clippers but LA wants it reviewed right? Or did that just happen automatically? It seemed like they really pushed for the review (as they did with everything else those last couple minutes) which gave Phoenix an extra timeout basically which they didn’t otherwise have. If the refs were going to look at it anyways then it’s a moot point but if the Clippers requested it then how dumb. You could just have Phoenix take the out of bounds with no time to draw up a play.
Also, I use to be a member of the Boogie Cousins fan club when he was in New Orleans but does anyone need to fuck off more than him? He shoved Booker after that alley oop and I guess the NBA is going to pretend it didn’t happen. The guy is a walking victim complex.
Someone on Reddit said they should have let Caruso take his mugshot with his headband on and I lol’d

Under 2 minutes they probably were going to review it anyway. But Clippers did also request it.
The worst was the ball Beverly hit out of Bookers hands...and it was off Bookers. In pickup ball, even Beverly would say that is off him. So dumb.
Trae with damn near 50 points in his conference finals debut on the road. Is he going to fuck around and lead this team to a championship??
I’m torn. He’s been so fun to watch but Giannis might be my favorite player in all of sports.
