Stop arguing for a moment and take a look at this nice, hot pizza.

I’m really craving something from The Pie. It’s been too long since I last ate there.

The difference in the defense when Gobert is on the floor and when Favors is on the floor is stunning.

I don’t remember the gap being this wide. In fact, I remember favors spelling Gobert for a few games in that Clipper series. Sure, he wasn’t exactly Gobert but he was a solid replacement. Now? It’s not even close. What happened?

While I generally agree with your statement I think my point that people are crazy and will read into what anyone famous is doing and when you dox the police officer you incite violence. The Trump analogy was a bit off I concede.

A bit?

Suns won again. Dang.

This is why banking on the Suns losing isn’t a great strategy just because their schedule looks worse on paper.

The fact that you don't see a problem with what Lebron did is part of the larger problem. LeBron's obvious intent was to inflict this individual pain. Maybe not murder, but pain. He's STILL mad at the guy, mainly because he is white. If the girl had stabbed and killed the other girl, Lebron wouldn't have said a damn thing.

Compare it to Mitchell, who has been tweeting all day, is probably even MORE socially aware, and didn't make an *** of himself over this.

Doxxing people has real world consequences. Someday it might even be you. It was me once. I had people threatening my kids and had to have round the clock police protection for two weeks. Lebron knew what he was doing.

I must’ve missed all of your posts criticizing Trump for his daily attacks on people. Lebron should’ve waited until the facts came out before using his platform to promote action (I don’t believe he meant physical harm but prosecution).

But the fact that you continued to support an obviously racist and corrupt person who spewed vitriol and lies daily, ruining lives all the time, and are suddenly “appalled” at Lebron James, speaks volumes about you, not about James.

Seth Rich
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
Rep Omar
Steve Kerr and Steph Curry
Colin Kaepernick
Megan Rapino
Joe Scarborough’s dead intern Trump insinuated was killed by Joe
Dr. Rick Bright
Alexander Vindman
Mike pence.

Would’ve all appreciated your consistency; not wanting very public officials to inappropriately weigh in on issues prematurely or dishonestly while promoting the public to cause them harm.

The Suns might’ve made the biggest jump in one year that I can remember. They were a dumpster fire just a year ago

Some of it is Favors aging, most of it is that Rudy is just that good. Our defensive sets are not replaceable with anyone other than Rudy Gobert. It is actually insane how good Rudy is in comparison to how he is perceived.

Also, Gobert wasn’t the offensive player he is now as well. The offense basically goes through Gobert. So now there is an offensive drop just as prominent as the drop on defense.

This is why he’s easily a top 7 player. His offensive stats may not be as visible looking at box scores, but he’s every bit as valuable to this offense as say a Joker, or Curry.

Eh, even if they fight hard, it still takes a toll. We were struggling pretty hard at the end of each of our winning streaks. I'm OK with out current approach. There's a world in which Denver catches the Clippers. I wouldn't be adverse in to letting the Suns have the first seed at that point.

I'm watching the replay. Rockets announcer: "Joe Ingles: The best flopper in the NBA!" This guy who has watched every Rockets game for who-knows-how-many years could not think of a worse flopper than Ingles.

Rockets announcer: "They brought Ingles over just to babysit Dante Exum, now a Rocket, and Ingles turned out to be the better player!"

LOL
