Actual gaslighting from the NBA and the announcers. Textbook flagrant 1.

“DPOY” Draymond Green btw

Not a grizzlies fan myself actually, can’t imagine any of them are happy about such a hard pivot this late into the season. I personally just hate watching him act how he does on the sideline. Don’t want to speculate, but it does seem like an odd decision to make for basketball reasons alone.

YES! I HATE TAYLOR JENKINS. May he never secure a head coaching job again.

Lakers win. LeBron hits the GW buzzer beater. Rui cashes my parlay. Life is good.

I really , genuinely hate Taylor Jenkins. Makes the grizzlies intolerable to watch.

Definitely think Portland has a better chance than Phoenix to get in there. The hobbled Mavs definitely most likely to fall out of the GSW,LAC,SAC gridlock. No one has it easy, but tankathon has blazers as the 3rd toughest strength of schedule left. Would be an impressive push from the young team.

NBA Standings for 3/3/2025 Teams 6-13 5. Houston Rockets 12 games behind OKC 6. Los Angeles Clippers 17 GB 7. Golden State Warriors 17 GB 8. Sacramento Kings 17.5 GB 9.Minnesota Timberwolves 17.5 GB 10. Dallas Mavericks 17.5 GB 11. Phoenix Suns 21 GB 12. Portland Trail Blazers 22.5 GB 13. San Antonio Spurs 23.5 GB

Feels like the top 10/the play in tournament is locked. Really can’t see Phoenix putting any sort of run together. How are suns fans feeling?

Can’t imagine Denver and Memphis won’t keep passing it back and forth, but it’s incredible seeing these LeBron/Luka Lakers get the second seed.
LA hasn’t been in this position where they can be strategic with seeding and choose their playoff matchup in years.
Atkinson is great, but JJ is the COTY.

Pick beside their own

Sad time to be a bulls fan. Idk if lavine was getting a pick back. As good as he’s been(incredibly), for
right or wrong, think a lot of teams saw his contract as a nonstarter. Excited to watch the kings

I’m waiting on the role player swaps for second round picks. Bring on the trades for the sickos.

Yep. Hard to find a silver lining that isn’t just they’ve finally (hopefully, seemingly) committed to a rebuild rather than staying in mediocrity.

Exactly, if they don’t think it’s working, he’s gonna have a lot of suitors to move him again. If he leaves in FA and they lose him for nothing, highly doubt collins, sidy, or even jones were key pieces longterm anyway. Can’t see a downside unless you think this stunts castle.

I’m a sucker for beautiful nature and ducks ofc!

I appreciate that, the very same to you!

I gotcha. Like what I’ve seen of his game, so it makes a lot of sense that he’s someone you want going forward. Just not tapped into Blazers spaces, so wasn’t sure how he fit into what they’re trying to become. Thanks for the insight

Reaves doesn’t get it done? I’ve clearly got an LA bias, I’ll admit, lol.

PG:Luka, Alvarado, Shake SG:Oubre, Martin SF: DFS, Camara, Kris Murray, PF:LeBron, Vando, Kleber, J.R.E, Morris C: Rob Will, Drummond, Duop Reath
Big at every position. Lakers recent, switch everything identity can be continued, who knows what this team's identity will be tho?

Possibilities feel endless today. Does this fix LA's holes?

It is only a matter of time before wemby is traded to the lakers

Lakers just landed a guy who, before wemby arrived, was looked at as the clear cut best player to build around for the next decade. And I’m still petrified about what could possibly be next. NEED A BIG.

Thank you, Max.
THANK YOU, ANTHONY DAVIS.

Vando’s contract is an absolute steal. He just always does the right thing. Hard to overstate his impact.

Vando is untouchable

As a Rui fan, it’ll be bittersweet should DFS prove tonight why he should be starting going forward.

Warriors bench is dangerous. A big disparity between bench scoring totals tonight may further encourage them to look at Rui off the bench when he’s back.

Can’t wait to see Vando on the floor.

J.J. Redick has out weirdo’d Joe Mazzulla

LeBron lost his fastball?(Impossibly threading the needle on fast breaks)

Just realized: LeBron is going to retire within this presidency. 🙁

Quincy, show us something cool

Shake Milton with the big block on Okongwu and gets the board later in the posession. We have found our backup big.
