Your career improves when you leave Russ

I won't let the greatest pure scorer in the NBA be slandered by a Russ loving monster!

Apologize to the greatest player in your franchise's history!

Looks like the Nuggs are on their way out of the playoffs soon. 3-0 is not a good hole to be in.

That Murray injury screwed them so badly )=

If Irving is out meaningful time, that's the series, and presumably the East goes to MIL

Goebert is worthless if he's not guarding in the paint and dies to small ball lineups

This is a verifiable fact and why he should never win DPOTY

The Clippers are abusing him right now

This has aged well

Durant is just on another level - he's almost as good as prime LBJ, who is the GOAT

I grew up watching Jordan

I aged through my teen and 20's with LBJ and Durant, Curry as well

I got to see Shaq, Bryant, Duncan, and Garnett

The NBA has been good to me!

Per ESPN:

Nobody has ever done this in the playoffs.
49 Pts.
17 Reb.
10 Ast.
Played every minute.
Win.
SLIM. REAPER.

UPDATE - 9:50 AM PT -- More details are coming in about Paul's status ... with Arizona Sports reporter John Gambadoro claiming the guard did, in fact, test positive for COVID-19.

What makes the situation a true case of bad luck -- Paul WAS vaccinated, according to ESPN's Jalen Rose ... which makes it rare, but not impossible, to come down with the virus.

The fact Paul is vaccinated is good news for getting back on the court ... he could return sooner than the 10-14 day window once he starts testing negative.

Potentially devastating news for the Phoenix Suns -- superstar point guard Chris Paul has been sidelined for an indefinite period of time ... as part of the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

In other words, CP3's status for the start of the Western Conference Finals is reportedly "up in the air" ... depending on when the Clippers/Jazz series ends, according to Shams Charania.

Paul has been the backbone for the red-hot Suns -- averaging 15.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists through 10 games this postseason.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone

Goburt getting cooked again.

Rick Carlisle resigned as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, ending his 13-year tenure one day after the departure of longtime president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson, removing two of the key figures from the franchise's 2010-11 championship team.

"After a number of in-person conversations with Mark Cuban over the last week, today I informed him that I will not be returning as head coach of the Dallas Mavericks," Carlisle told ESPN in a written statement. "This was solely my decision. My family and I have had an amazing 13-year experience working with great people in a great city."

Carlisle, 61, continued to say it had been an "honor to work alongside" several members of the Mavs organization, specifically naming Cuban, Nelson, CEO Cynt Marshall, vice president of basketball operations Michael Finley, assistant general manager Keith Grant and the co-stars of the 2010-11 championship team, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd.

Gobert (within me having the game on for just two minutes) gets called out by the announcers for a bad rotation and getting burnt

The dude is so overrated - he's a good defender who can be great in the right situations, and much of that is because he has one of the best defensive coaches in the NBA

He sorry

We don't respect him in this dojo
