MVP award now the MJ award. Forever people will tout how many MJ's a guy has. Awesome.

Grizzlies really figuring things out right now. Playing some great team basketball. Looks like Curry is out for a few weeks so we won’t get that fun Christmas Day matchup anymore.

No way do I have faith in this team changing the result if this is the Finals next June.

The Warriors are not making it out of the west this year.

They’ll be lucky to cling to that play-in game spot after these next few weeks without Steph. They really don’t have anyone else that can carry the load when he’s out. Could be a pretty rough stretch for them.

Went to my first NBA game while stuck in Houston, errrr I mean enjoying Houston, for the John Deere Expo. Tyler Herro was insane and the sport 100x better in person.

Good times

We can only hope. They weren’t particularly good at all last year though (outside of Steph and Wiggins) and they still won it anyway. I’m not writing them off in December.

How many Michael Jordan trophies does Lebron have?

I bet Michael Jordan has more Michael Jordan trophies than Lebron has Michael Jordan trophies.

The Warriors were 24-5 at this point in the season last year. Sure, they weren’t very good last year and benefited from other teams getting injured at the right time, but they were heads and shoulders better last season than they are right now. The off-season drama with Draymond carried over into the season and they made no attempt to solidify their defense after letting Payton walk in the off-season. This team is realizing the future isn’t as bright as they once thought. Who could have seen Andrew Wiggins resorting back to the player he’s been the rest of his career? ROFL

They should have been dead and gone after the Raptors beat them, KD left, and Klay tore multiple major muscles, but they weren't. Write them off at your own peril, I say. It's too early for me to call them out of it for now.

They're gonna suck while Steph is out for sure though.

Lebron's a pussy Kobe was way better

The GOAT is now 766 points from Kareem.

big time win for GSW. I like this Grizzlies team especially Morant but I really can't stand Dillion Brooks. Dude thinks he is tough and good but he sucks

KC_Connection 12-25-2022 09:49 PM

The refs certainly got the outcome they wanted in that Warriors game, I'll say that.

Definitely got some good whistles except for the sensitive T's. Refs are a bunch of pansies.
