    He's been assistant for 20 years. Not even a seasoned coach can't handle a disgruntled superstar. I think he's been doing a good job sticking to the just the game and out of the drama.

    I'm surprised the NBA played tonight

    There was a literal coup attempt by white supremacists and the outgoing President. The capitol building was occupied by armed QAnon crazies in broad daylight. Jacob blake's attackers were cleared yesterday. (That caused a shutdown in the summer, if you recall)

    Honestly I forgot all about the Rockets game.

    Ariza averaged around 36% from the 3point line on almost 7!!!! attempts a game. Believe it or not, thats really really hard to do in the NBA. If Nwada can do that, considering he's already a stellar defensive player, he would be a 15 million a year kind of player. There is a reason guys like Ariza(in his prime) and Covington are coveted around the league.

    Case of a Veteran coach vs rookie.
    Never show weakness because if you do then you've truly lost.

    Excuses? Go read the tweets I was quoting. Are they making excuses to? Ankle sprains are no joke. They are usually a minimum two week on the sideline injury. He should not be playing

    I read those tweets bro, what does that mean though? A lot of guys are banged up, it was a short off season. Rolling your ankle is just part of the game unfortunately. Everyone injures their ankles in basketball bro lol, this is so elementary. I'm not saying play hurt. But if you are hurt then go get better because you are at a much bigger risk of re-injury. But if you decide to play then I don't want to hear about said player being hurt, because had James dropped 60 points tonight with those 12 assist nobody on this site would ever bring up the point that James is dealing with an ankle injury. You're not going to say that when he is rolling, so why say it when he has a bum game? It goes both ways is my point.

    Well that was my point. He needs to be resting his ankle. No point playing on it when it won’t accomplish anything worthwhile

    Why does Wall keep falling down during his dribble drives? He just looks out of synch with Harden. Harden has looked like a average guard past 2 games often deferring. Not sure what’s going on. Team looked more methodical on offense today I thought. More calming with cousins in the middle. They really need to place a defensive big to play with wood. Also Rox can’t seem to capitalize when they are given opportunities this season. Trend that is disturbing.

    Then why are you still watching the NBA when they are taking a knee before the game and also wearing all kind of messages on their jerseys nowadays?

    So you are just a hypocrite?

    LOL,

    so when you were seeing these 4 letters on many players jerseys this summer : VOTE.

    You actually believed that's a campaign for CP3 to get elected for his second term as the president of the player union?

    Because black people are having their poll places taken away by the republican party. The message is there to stop discrimination. The majority of players in the NBA are black. Its not the same thing.
