Pelicans flame out as usual. I am so glad I don't live in NOLA and have to deal with their arrogant fans. With the Saints, every loss is some how Roger Goodell and the refs fault. With the Pelicans, they seriously still act like they some how won the Anthony Davis trade and whine about the Lakers nonstop.

Strange that da bulls are doing so well and Lonzo ball isn't even helping I think the brass might get rid of him later and save themselves a giant headache when the go on road trip to play Lakers and there is daddy in the stands talking crazy

They're doing so well to just barely make the playoffs without him with a losing record. Starting to think you don't watch much basketball.

I don't

Just imagine a world where the ball Brothers are hall of famers daddy would never shut up

You're literally the first person in years I've seen talk about them who isn't a Lakers fan discussing his draft lol. No one cares about their dad anymore.

I only pay a limited amount of attention to their careers so when they retire analysts will crush them for me throwing dad under the bus pointing out what happened on draft night and ridiculing him for not delivering on his kids careers what he said they could do

I went to a convention and some dude was walking around in a Lonzo Lakers jersey and this was right after LeBron left for LA I saw so many people that wanted to beat him down and homeboy was clueless

I know this should be in the NFL thread, but given who’s in this deal, I’ll post it here and somewhere else.  According to Adam Schefter, Washington Commanders owners Daniel Snyder and Tanya Snyder reached a preliminary nonexclusive agreement to sell the Commanders to the group led by 76ers and New Jersey Devils owner Josh Harris for $6.05 billion.

Magic Johnson is also part of the ownership group so I think it fits

Bulls lose to the Heat 102-91 and miss the playoffs entirely after the posts in here. Not saying Money jinxed them but LOL

[Money]

I jinxed nothing Chicago finding out they can make playoffs without Lonzo and get rid of him for someone better

And now, the postseason is officially upon us.  The NBA playoffs have begun.  The Nets are playing the Atlantic rival 76ers.  There are three other games today.  Updates to come.

The 76ers beat the Nets, 121-101.
The Celtics beat the Hawks, 112-99.
The Knicks beat the Cavaliers, 101-97.
The Kings beat the Pacific rival Warriors, 126-123.

I'm ready for some fun basketball.  LeBron James is beginning his quest for a fifth NBA title as the Lakers are visiting Ja Morant and the Grizzlies in Game 1.  Updates to come.

The Lakers beat the Grizzlies, 128-112.

My pick to win the title is in grave danger already.  Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a lower back contusion and will not return for the remainder of the Bucks' playoff opener against the Heat.  Updates to come.

The Heat beat the Bucks, 130-117.
