Can't see this squad threatening for a title again - Klay is busted, Greybeard Green can only do it 1in4 and Wiggins and Poole are not going to be second star options behind Steph. Looney's illness didn't help them in this series - he's definitely improved hugely in the last couple of years.
Didn't realise Lakers just had one player on the court.
Odds of him rejoining with Harden and Udoka down in Houston?
Sounds like a good plan…
It really is the worst kind of NBA tweet. Talking about only one player on the team ignoring the ridiculously good supporting cast (the best supporting cast he's had in maybe a decade) . I'd also argue AD was the significantly better player this series than lebron anyway.
It feels like it's all part of this increasingly silly debate over who is the GOAT - MJ or LeBron. Commentators, tiktokers and the general fans are going to more and more extreme ends to justify their positions, driven by SM algorithms, using more and more obscure and dubious "statistics". Ditto for Jokic/Embiid MVP arguments.

Is he breaking any laws in the US with this? Can't see so much fuss if, say, Austin Reaves had tiktoks where he talks about his AR15 collection...
Do you not know any of the recent history with Ja???
Harden stats won't look good but he started the playoffs as the distant no.2 option, went on to be the best player in the first round and put in all-time performances in 2 games this series to win games Philly were not even supposed to win with Embid out/being clamped. He is not even on a max contract this year and more than satisfied his end of the bargain. This one is on Doc and Embid.
i didn't see on the news that this latest incident happened in colorado?
You don't need to break the law to be suspended by your employer. They probably had an understanding for future conduct in return for letting him get away with a slap on the wrist last time. It's not fair to other players/employees around the NBA for him to come back to the locker room without consequences and adequate counselling when he is habitually brandishing his gun around like a play thing for no reason. It was a greedy mistake on Silver's part to not just suspend him for the rest of the season last time for mandatory rehab/counselling as was originally being speculated instead of the farcical idea of getting him back after a week of rehab as if it would solve everything.
he is still their no: 2 option...all three of them are accountable for the miserable showing today but end of the day, they lost to a better, deeper team so the result is not all that surprising...doc is a pretty average coach especially under pressure, it took three superstars and rondo, a terrific point guard in his prime with some solid veteran depth for him to win his ring with the celtics...
