I dropped Lauri Markkanen in fantasy and I want to kill myself. It was like 2 weeks ago.....for Tyler Johnson after his 39 pt game. Shame.

I still have th ebest team in the league at the moment and I have Mirotic who was killing it so I figured I could move on with him. But I fail.

I don't think I've been this impressed with a rebound in awhile. That was unexpected...

I'm starting to think Lebron has to go everyone is getting sick of his drama, damn the repercussions... We'll see how I feel about that during the playoffs.

I'm not a Lebron fan, but dude, you NEVER get rid of the talent in the NBA. You get rid of those around him. What changed so dramatically that the team is imploding like this?

What is it now?
It's not even a now thing it's how it's always been. It's just worse right now.

All the offense goes through Lebron. Every play every night. When he's on the bench the offense has no idea what to do. Lebron ends up getting pissed and the drama starts... it's all downhill from there. It's like the offense is built around him bringing his A game every night and when it doesn't they crumble. I feel like his role in the team and his ego are so BIG he can't draw up plays where he's not first option.

Yeah the Cavs have some gaps to fill, but I'm just sick of hearing him cry. If he does leave I pity the city where he ends up. Be ready to bend over.

Cleveland is dysfunctional but they are always dysfunctional. Worry when the playoffs hit. As a non-Cleveland/Lebron fan, I hope Boston gets back in though.

why aren't Bulls fucking tanking?
I know this makes sense for the franchise but it doesn't for Hoiberg. He inherited a good team, regressed and didn't really show anything until the very end of last season when they finished strong and squeaked into the playoffs.

I'm an ISU guy so I love Hoiberg obviously. He's just playing for his job there.


In non Vikings hype news, Wolves on a really great stretch the last 15 games or so. They're putting up GSW/HOU level offensive numbers while playing better than average defense. Jimmy carrying the team on his back during a lot of the clutch time there too. Fun to see.

Just wtf...lol



All of the melodrama in the NBA is fucking hilariously bad. LeBron and the Diva Cavs show, whatever that shit with the Rockets and Clippers was etc. Fucking so stupid. Not surprising, this is the same team that had to bunker Deandre Jordan down to re-sign a contract, and help him take his diaper off.

NBA is so retarded from an "outside" basketball standpoint.

Wtf was afflalo's problem? He took a full on swing and just barely missed. Should be worth a good suspension.

lol that tall dude coulda snapped his neck like a twig if he wanted to. Afflalo is a fucking thug and needs a good suspension for that shit. He pushed him like 2 times before swinging at him.

This Wizards squad, what a head scratcher. I was seeing some praise early in the year about them finally being a legit team to make a run in the East... I've just never bought into that squad. They just seem to be so incredibly inconsistent. Seems like they just get trounced by really bad teams more often than what a team with John Wall & Bradley Beal should be (I also think the Beal "superstar" narrative has always been a little exaggerated).
