    Technically he's not really a rookie. 2022 looking better as a draft all the time (especially when you remember Jabari was second-to-last pick)

    Clippers made 9 straight shots and hit some FTs. Fancy stuff. LAC up 8 on PHX

    Doesn't look like a tear.... more like a strain of the hammy.

    Not a tough break for Ja it's Karma biting him on the ass and him getting what he deserves .... screw Ja and it just shows you reap what you sow and he got his -- but NOW it's time for his redemption story to start once back from his injury. I am not saying I will be a fan of his but I will be willing to see if he can clean his act up and such.

    Well it’s a shame that you think that…no one deserves to get injured. There were literal spouse beaters in the league last year.

    Didn’t need to say that. We could all tell.

    Could the Grizzlies become a threat in the tanking race after the All Star break?

    Ja acted like a thug and it's easy to play nice when he has to0 but now that his season is lost there is a better chance he will either return to being a thug OR it will give him more time off the court to show he is not the thug he acted like by brandishing firearms like he is a gang banger stuck in the hood. He has more talent then most and instead of embracing it and trying to lift others around him up he reverted back at times to a low life street thug that is what he needs to learn to stop wasting his god given talent / hard work. I will admit I should have not have taken glee in his injury but also I did say I hope he can return and redeem himself but whatever -- LOL

    Yeah, I watched the end of that game. Brown did get hit in the head. Was it incidental contact? I don't understand that non-call.

    the Celtics got unbelievably hosed at the end of that game. The replay refs had money on the table. After this horsecrap, Porzingus gets called for straight up defense, as Mathurin's hand hits the Celtics big man on the follow through. Even if the Boston had a challenge left, those crooked Pacers fans running the replays would have given Benedict his 3 FT's.

    I wonder if the official NBA ref report will ever acknowledge that "the replay crew" got the call wrong. It's the new power player in NBA officiating, the replay "Gods" in Sue-cock-us New Jersey.

    I mean, your post just reeks of someone who doesn’t remember what it was like to be young and do stupid shit. Everyone has done stupid shit, including you. Did you cost yourself $10s of millions in the process? I sure hope not. But Ja hurt himself more than anyone else by trying to look cool. No reports of any kids harming anyone with firearms after the incident. The league gave him a lengthy suspension. He’ll learn from it. In five years, I hope, this isn’t something that doesn’t even get brought up. Believe it or not, Gilbert Arenas says enough kookie stuff now that I actually forget he had a firearm in the locker room.

    But man, some doofuses talk like they’ve never tried to look cool for a bunch of people they don’t even care about before. Like…everyone knows what that’s like. Anyways, just wanted to offer some perspective. I don’t actually think you’re malicious against Ja.
