    But he's not even old enough to drink!! No way an NBA player would participate in any illegal activity!

    I wonder if they will rest their starters. It appears so based on injury list. Imagine getting knocked out of the playoffs by this

    I found this blog post about it from 12 years ago.

    Apparently the phrase "1, 2, 3 Cancun!" was yelled by Nick Van Exel prior the the Lakers getting swept by the Jazz in Game 4 of the 1998 Western Conference Finals. The phrase takes on the meaning that the season is quickly approaching its end and it will soon be vacation time. Cancun is a tropical destination, probably very popular among NBA circles. So when Pat Bev commented "Cancun on 3" on Instagram, he was insinuating that Portland's season was coming to a close.

    Hope that helped!

    Are the Nets playing everyone when they already secured 7th seed?

    They sure as shit didn't make KP play in the game I'm watching now and he's a way bigger draw than any of the people the Nets have on their bubble roster. LaVert was listed as questionable earlier today, he's off the injury report now. I think they might play to win but if I was them and I was being pressed by the league to play my starters, I would do it for the first quarter and then let them rest but hell maybe they don't like the Blazers and want to end our season right here and right now so they will be playing like it's a playoff game. I any case, I think we will come out on top.

    The NBA wants the Nets to play starters because they are playing the Blazers

    I hope the league doesn't hate us as much as you think they do but having watched or listened to like 90% of the games for the past 30 years, I understand your paranoia. Not a lot breaks our way where the league is in control (especially if you view the refs as an extension of the league... the refs fuck us every chance they get).

    Not just the refs. The commentators constantly disrespect the Blazers.

    Mavs got away with sitting Porzingis in a TNT game too.

    Are you joking? The Networks have tremendous power over the league. The league as we know it couldn't survive without TV $$$ - the owners and players' union both know it.
