Legit might be the best iso scorer ever.

This Rockets-Lakers game escalated quickly. Suspensions incoming.

Yoo that was crazy. Ingram just got triggered for some reason?

I would be triggered too if my team was shit.

Call me old and out of touch but 135 - 125 games with no semblance of defense disgusts me. It is a borderline all-star game effort out there. Not entertained at all.

This is pretty wild. Makes watching an NBA game look like a video game.

Stern: Pelicans' Demps a 'lousy general manager'

Some surprisingly salty talk from the old Commish. Sounds like he has a grudge against Demps. I would agree with him that the Clippers trade was better than the LA one, though.

Curry now has 10 double-digit 3-pointer games in his career. Klay Thompson and J.R. Smith have done it 3 times apiece. No other player has done it more than once.

CYA JIMMY... of course it's Thibs so he won't do this deal.

Better for the Clippers for sure. Otherwise, they're both just in the better than nothing category for the Pelicans. His criticism that the original players arent even on the team anymore is pretty bizarre since it was 7 years ago and none of the players are still on their original teams.

Long article, but I guess the Rockets owner is up for some luxury tax spending?

What could have possibly been the expectations once LeBron left? Firing the coach will change nothing.

I think it's because he was LeBron's coach. He was the guy that was friendly with everyone when LeBron didn't respect Blatt. I'm guessing Cleveland thinks he isn't genuinely a great coach and only kept him because LeBron liked him and because he was the coach when they won the championship. Now they can move on and choose a coach that they like.

Team is 0-6, they need to scapegoat someone. Ownership/management wanted to play the young guys and tank. Lue wanted to fight for his guys (Korver, JR, etc.).

They have a proven winning coach on the sidelines.

If Gilbert pays these guys, it's a sign he's interested in being a halfway-decent owner post-LeBron.

Klay with 14 3's in the game.. so far. With 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter lol. You gotta love that about this team.. KD and Steph been smoking hot to start the season. Klay finally gets it going and they do whatever they can to get him the ball. Klay trying to break Steph's 13 3's in a game record and Steph and KD are giving him the ball every time down the floor.

Started season 5-36 from three, I thought I heard. Crazy burst.

52 points in 27 minutes.
