While we’re talking about Draymond Green… This clip of him laying injured on the ground while the teams continue to play multiple possessions is crazy. Why didn’t Steve Kerr take a timeout? Why didn’t any of the Warriors commit a foul? It’s pretty disrespectful what they did here.

https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/1757988408410931593

He was obviously not injured. He was just right there lying down trying to get some attention. He was acting, overacting. It wasn't even a foul. It was his hand that hit his face. His left hand was slapping his own face. Lol. Well, that's Draymond Green.

But yes it looks weird. But not because nobody seemed to care but because of how long he lied down there even if the ball has already transferred possessions and scores were already made. Can he not get up? It wasn't even his legs that got hit. Yes, Steve Kerr should have taken a time-out and give him a dress down.

Maybe Kerr had enough of Draymond Green's corny and nonsense drama. I think Steve Kerr and the Warriors are showing that they are not interested in Draymond's flop. It also serves as a warning to Draymond that the team is not wasting time out, especially during the last few minutes. Imagine if it happened in the last few minutes of a close game. Draymond will once again cost GSW a fortune.

I think GSW should make some changes if they fail to enter the playoffs. The Lakers are making every move to get another player while Lebron is still in his A-game and GSW should do the same because Curry's effort will be wasted.

Watching the clips from yesterday showing Draymond Green act like a crazy person is actually sad. That guy is breaking down mentally now that the Warriors’ dynasty is over. I’m not even sure if LeBron could save them by jumping ship in the offseason. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Draymond has signed his last NBA contract.

Yeah at this point he is going overboard. I think as his athletic ability has declined he is masking it with this new over the top persona to scare people into submission. I know he was aggressive before but not like this. At some point he is just basically a danger out on the court. It is sad bit I think this is the end of "their run". GS doesn't look like they are gonna get better anytime soon.

I even don't think that Draymond has the athletic ability in the first place, he is more of the basketball IQ, however, he went overboard most of the team and this season it was even magnified that he got suspended by the league. So perhaps he is not masking it, he could really be out of control and he really needs to check himself and seek medical attention.

I agree that he is getting out of control year by year, day by day. I also think that he was not even too athletic and of course he is getting worse with time. Anyone who watches draymond's podcast knows that he is a very arrogant and know-it-all player. He can't take criticism. He was a good player and an important member of the warriors dynasty, draymond green is now known more for his excesses than his accomplishments on the court. And with him, the entire golden state team is going down.

I don't find it disrespectful. If some player gets injured during a game, it's normal for a team to continue an unfinished offense or defense. However, if you watch this episode with Green in slow motion, you can notice that it was a flop and bad acting by Green, not an injury. Most likely, the other Warriors players knew this, and that's why they continued the offense in this episode.

Wow, the Bucks.
The coaching change really did them dirty, well deserved.
Now they even lose against a Memphis team that "competes" with a 9 man (mostly bench players or even GLeague type players) rotation and has an injury list with 10 players, basically all their stars.

How can you even go from here if you are Milwaukee??
Can it actually happen and they fire Doc Rivers after just a few games? That would be hilarious!!

This is getting out of hand. How on earth did the Bucks lose that game? It is difficult to fault Lillard because they were winning before the appearance of Rivers. Rivers is tasked with the job of making plays good for its players which implies he needs to adapt to what is available and what is lacking.

Despite having lower attempts in the threes, the Grizzlies were still able to produce more in those areas. In total, the Grizzlies have lower field goal attempts, but they converted over half into points.

And why we even think of Lillard geting at fault? This is ridiculous, I mean, Lillard wasn't the only one that struggled in that game. Here are the stats of the other players that has a poor shooting night.

Lopez 5-14
Beasley 3-10...

And it should be the coach because he is the one that calls for the play, he could decide to sit players if they aren't playing as expected.

And three days from now, River is coaching the Eastern selection in the All-Stars match.

Thanks for letting us know, I'm fading him.

I didn't expect that but they seemd playing very inconsistent. I thought they had figure it out alread when they blowout the Nuggets on their homecourt, and there goes again losing against a weak team. Giannis probably didn't like it, I don't know what would happen to the Bucks, their season is on the line now.

Meanwhile, Jazz almost completed their comeback, but just one costly mistake made by Collins throwing the ball to the crowd made them loss their chance. However, it's still a good game though, they were competitive and they know how to come back, just fall short on this one.

For tonight's game, there could be easy bet for gamblers, Bucks over Memphis and Wolves over Portland. Jazz is struggling and the Warriors although they've lost on their last game, might come back here against the Jazz and start another run with Curry carrying this team. Hopefully, Klay and the others help Steph here as this is a very winnable game for them.

Charlotte Hornets won three in a row in their home games and this is since the trade deadline. Grant Williams and Seth Curry the new additions of the team are playing really well. Hopefully they can continue this momentum until the All-Star break. It is a one week vacation for them before they play the next game.
I think they can secure their fourth straight win since they're only playing the Utah Jazz next game. Utah Jazz have been struggling in their recent games. I don't know why but they're just inconsistent with their performance.

I really don't know what's happening to Utah Jazz right now though, they have a good start early, but now it seems that they are struggling.

@OgNasty - yeah, pretty much the Warriors dynasty is over, there are a lot of rumors swirling around about trades in Golden State. Perhaps Thompson and Green were lucky that the management didn't pull the trigger. I thought that both of this player were going to be traded for obvious reasons.

Maybe next year we will the Warriors taking a reset, and only Steph Curry left in the group.

Yeah, Bronny's stats don't look impressive at all, and I would even say it looks weak. If he performs this way in the NCAA, he can forget about his career in the NBA because his stats would be even worse in the league. However, I don't rule out that LeBron can bring him to the NBA anyway, but it looks like there's not much sense in it because of Bronny's lack of prospects in the NBA.

He has been like that since the beginning because the kid was raised with all he needs in life and he doesn't have enough motivation to further improve his talent in basketball also he has some kind of disease that hinders him from trying even harder because it will gonna ruin his body and he might be in real danger once again. Honestly, they can just sign him for a year just to give LBJ the dream he wants and that is playing with his son in the same team and that would be the greatest achievement that no one can break for decades.

As I see it, Lebron James is committed, and he would not join the Warriors except if the Lakers officials are the ones driving the trade. However, how could the Lakers need to trade Lebron when he is viewed by a larger number of individuals as the GOAT of basketball?

The details of Bronny say everything, he does not merit a draft selection in the NBA. In any case, he will be picked by the teams that also want to take Lebron. Bronny will be the Thannassis Antettounmpo of Lebron James. Anyhow, I think it is more important for the Lakers now to find the next great leader to avoid confusion.

What can you say about the news that Golden State tried to trade for LeBron before the trade deadline? Also, it says that Draymond Green texted Rich Paul (LeBron's agent) if there is some way he can encourage or recruit Bron to go to GSW. This trade would pair LeBron and Steph Curry with the Warriors. If this happened, I don't really know if they would still be deadly as a duo. I know that both of them are still playing great this season. LeBron James is still averaging his usual numbers, and he is on the way to his 20th All-Star appearance. Same goes with Steph; he is still knocking down threes and carrying Golden State at his back. But if this happened way back in their prime years, this duo would be deadly. We all know LeBron loves having teammates that can knock down threes, and Steph is smooth playing with anybody; just look at KD when he was still in the Warriors; all of them are having their time on the court.

If that trade happens, the world will be in shock.

They probably offered something ridiculous for him just to give the Lakers a chance to dump salary and avoid LeBron causing an offseason media fest with his decision about free agency.

The 76ers also reached out to trade for Durant, Booker, or Beal. You can give them credit for trying, but none of those deals were ever going to happen.

These offers made the think that there must be crazy things going on behind close doors. These rumours are just the ones somehow got leaked. To me, Lebron in GSW seems impossible and would never fit for anyone, not for Lebron or Warriors. 76ers reaching out to Durant or Booker also seems crazy. How would that even work? I may be oldschool but I liked the days these kinds of stars were just franchise players. Teams with multiple superstars kinda killing it for me. It started with Lebron going to Miami actually. I hope these things woul never happen again.

I think lakers would not want that to happen since imagine how huge the market of Lebron and if they let this trade to happen then I guess there's a lot will be lose on their side. This discussion maybe didn't proceed since they cut this idea about possible landing of Lebron to GSW and this one just came out late since maybe some media just want to clickbait people to hype their article. I would say its impossible for Lebron to land in GSW knowing how big the asset would La ask in return and for sure they would ask lots of player which I think not really worth it especially Lebron is at the peak of his career and anytime he would provably announce his retirement.

I think LeBron is on a player option for next year, so teams could get him for nothing after this season. He’s also planning to play with Curry in the next Olympics… I never thought LeBron to Golden State was a possibility but after reading all the news today I think it could realistically happen. They’d just need to draft Bronny.

I think LeBron will still be committed to the Lakers. Even though these past few days he has been teasing the Lakers by posting that time emoji "⌛" and flirting with the Knicks by wearing Knicks colorway shoes and wearing and using a Knick towel in one of his interviews when they faced the New York Knicks at the Garden.

Also, there is news that the Lakers are trying to find a way to draft Bronny in this upcoming draft to see if this will make James happy. The Lakers still prioritize Lebron James' happiness; if I were the Lakers, I would do the same. It is once in a lifetime to have one of the best players in basketball play for your organization, so you will do everything to make him happy.

If the Lakers ever reach the Western Conference Finals again, or maybe the Finals and win the championship, there is a chance that James will still be a Laker next season.

Also, next off-season, the Lakers are eyeing these free agents to come and play with LeBron and AD. Those players are Donovan Mitchell, Dejounte Murray, Kyrie Irving, and even Trae Young. If the Lakers ever get one of these players, then most likely James will stay.

I think it's all over the media, the Bronny is not as good as his father. But I think he can still go to the NBA with Lebron's "influence".

That influence though. I guess if that's the only reason he'll get to the NBA, better not be in the NBA as the criticism will only continue while he is playing. If he doesn't have a good statistics, then he will not be in the starting line up. I'm afraid he'll have the same fate with Thanasis who's been continuously criticize for getting a million dollar contract but not really contributing to the team, it's also because of the influence of Giannis.

Quote from: Baofeng on February 15, 2024, 06:46:02 AM

And talking about the Lakers, winning 3 in a row, this time without Lebron. It was Rui, who put a show and Russell's 17 assists with his double double as a Lakers. They have indeed recovered already from all the trade talks and them winning the IST and then after that, have a losing streak.

It looks like Dinwiddie has became their lucky charm, they are looking good right now, their win streak would help them improve their ranking.

Quote from: Baofeng on February 15, 2024, 06:46:02 AM

Mavs and Celtics are now tied for the longest winning streak right now at 6.

Mavs is having a good run, as to the Celtics, it's not surprising anymore but the big changes was really on the Mavs, the new players who are already on the starting line up are making big contributions to this success.

I wouldn't like this.
It would just look like to final desperate attempt to build another "superteam", not a fan.
Yesterday I watched a video about Bronny and there it was said that he isn't even on any mock draft board at the moment. Before he wont to USC many predicted him to go like 15th-30th in the draft but now he wouldn't even get picked in the 2nd round.
His stats at USC are not really impressive while still seeing 21 minutes per game.

Of course the "I want to play with my son" situation is a thing so teams would maybe pick him to get Lebron, or get leverage in a trade scenario sending Bronny to him for a good return.

Maybe he won't get picked but signed after all by Lebron's team, where ever he is playing at then.

Yeah, Bronny's stats don't look impressive at all, and I would even say it looks weak.
