    This post was worth a like but unfortunately won’t receive one from me due to the trade imbalance.

    Last 41 games mean more because they obviously improved and are trending in the right direction. And beating bad teams means you aren’t one

    Luka gets tossed (2nd technical) for directing some words towards at an official after making a basket. His basket put the Lakers ahead 108-107 with 7:42 left in the game against the Thunder.

    I wish the NBA would toss this rule itself. Players should only be tossed for a Flagrant 2 foul or two flagrant 1 fouls.

    Which players gets teed-up for mouthing off at the referees is too inconsistent.

    Disagree.

    Luka gets away with mouthing off a lot. He already has much more leeway than 95% of the rest of the league.

    I wish the league was better about being consistent regardless of who is involved in the play

    Well there's still 8 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and I already feel comfortable saying that the Suns will be tied with us at the end of this shitty game I'm about to turn off.

    According to someone's calculations, the Timberwolves had a 99.9% chance of beating the Bucks with 10:09 left in the game, the Bucks having 1/10 of 1 percent chance of winning. Not even a 1% chance, 1/10 of a 1% chance. Isn't that like a miracle-level comeback? 1/10 of 1 percent.

    Can we do a late swap of Calabro taking the day off instead of Hurd? Then maybe I would tune into our broadcast.

    By this argument, not beating good teams means you aren’t one either then….right? It almost sounds like, and hear me out, purgatory.

    And before any of you lemmings say we beat so and so, which is a good team. We have also lost to bad teams as well

    I know this is teeing you up for some Dame hate, but...

    what many of those Dame teams did was beat almost all of the bad teams they faced. But they also beat enough good teams to end up with 41-49 wins....not 35-36 like this current team. And yes, even averaging 45-46 wins, those teams were on a Vulcan Treadmill in an Olshey Purgatory

    Yes he was, and you should have got another like but that darn trade imbalance.
