    Good question.

    And are they gonna let the Blazers lube up? Because they're gonna get f*cked in the ass by the refs.

    This will be like 1992 All Star Game when Drexler should’ve won MVP but they made the end of the game all about Magic. No chance.

    Terry probably made a handshake deal with Silver to throw this game in return for a future win.

    Why? He has to play some with Melo out. Doesn't mean he'll play a ton. Just through him out there with the starters to see if he's more comfortable then bring Little's energy off the bench. I like it.

    I wouldn't be so salty being served up on a platter like the Washington Generals if we had some slack to make the playoffs. We don't. We need every game and even if we're in control of the game, the refs will fix it. For all I know, Adam Silver may have already reached out to us, saying perhaps we may not wish to play to win.

    If the Lakers make the finals, it will be unbearable (even more than normal).

    dude this moment is too big for stars, much less a guy who has never played a single minute for the team prior

    Wait, we're starting Gabriel? Okay, Silver sent a message. Are we starting Brown at PG?

    Doesn't really matter who starts and who doesn't, to be honest.
