    Dallas won in Milwaukee and Philly without Doncic too. As for Oladipo, he was awful.

    When you’re young and stupid... that’s Ja and Dillon Brooks lol. It’s alright, Blazers got this and will kick them out of the playoffs.

    I don't see a thing wrong with what Morant and Brooks are saying. They are invested in their team as they are supposed to be. Meanwhile, the highest paid player on their team is not only saying he'll sit out the rest of the season unless he's traded, he's also saying that Memphis has to trade him to s team he's picked as acceptable. That's bullshit

    yeah I thought Brooks was honest and at the same time NOT disrespectful.


    "First time I seen him was on TV talking about us. It doesn't even matter. Andre Iguodala is a great player. I feel like he's doing the right thing for his career, but we don't really care.

    "It's not a distraction at all. I laugh at that type of stuff. A guy that's on our team that doesn't want to be on our team, I can't wait till we find a way to trade him so we can play him and show him really what Memphis is about."


    Morant shared Brooks' sentiment with the use of a shouting emoji on Twitter:

    So why isn't Iggy being fined 1/82% of his contract every game he refuses to fulfill his side of the contract?

    He and the team came to a "mutual" decision before the season for him not to play so he won't get injured.

    Probably because Memphis didn’t acquire him with the intentions of him actually playing for them, so they came to an agreement that he wouldn’t need to report.

    The Hammer will not accompany the Heat on their west coast trip because of his ankle.

    Too bad. RIP CITY would have shown the love for sure

    No return game for Aminu and now Leonard, that sucks.

    The Blazers curse this season extends to last year players too

    This is so sad. Apologizing for grabbing a rebound and preventing a player from getting a triple-double.
