Turns 19 in 3 months. He's at the age most kids are graduating from high school.

Anyone who thinks anything less than an all-star level career isn't in his future is playing bad odds. Just think about what most current star players looked like at that age...

Deni advija - should be the leader of that Portland team next few years.
Guy showed up in Europe and balled; and he’s finally got his groove in the nba.
Great player.

Well deserved. I'm not usually a fan of people losing their jobs, but it is so well deserved in this case. Worst trade in NBA history for absolutely no reason.

Yep 100% agree

I still don’t believe it was all him. NBA thrives when certain teams are, correction stay, relevant. He went from zero to hero back to zero QUICK

I definitely don't have sympathy for coaches, execs, or athletes who get "fired" because they're still getting paid millions and will get another job in another org

Dough boy Dumond didn’t want to fire Nico, but didn’t have a choice when you have the fans chanting “Fire Nico” with their team on the line for critical free throws as the game winds down. A true embarrassment of a franchise.

Just a stunning fall from grace for the Mavs. In less than two years they went from a 25 year old superstar leading them to the Finals to this. Imagine if they didn't luck out and get Cooper Flagg.

Time to look at Luka trade prop betting from last season.

Fun to watch Wemby's big game last night. Seems like at any point he can put up another highlight - almost hate to be away from the TV. The most must watch player in the league, although Jokic pretty darn good.

Speaking of Jokic - did you hear the post game press conference by Wemby? When asked, "What does he think of Nikola Jokic?" He answered, "... In my opinion probably should have one more MVP."

He’s unbelievable—the pull up 3’s, above the rim blocks, and the way he single handedly changes the way offensive players have to play is really something!

Calling the wrong defense was only his second worst coaching decision in OT. Down 3 with 8 seconds, he decided to call a timeout right when the ball was being swung to a wide open Evan Mobley, who drained the game tying 3 that didn't count.

PGiddy summoned ancient eagle spirits to mire Dre's feet in quicksand after he placed him on the IL.

Ankle for an ankle.

Nico deserved to be canned off that creepypasta side eye meme alone. Richard Ramirez vibes.

And it's sad it took Lululemon spiting my ex energy to finally start dropping those Wegovy pills and become a passable defender.

Two wrongs don't make a right. But only one of them remains employed.

OKC absolutely dogwalking the Warriors.

Hoping for a second half comeback, because I was pretty psyched about this matchup.

Been watching the game -- the Warriors are totally getting outclassed. The Thunder are completely suffocating them on the defensive end. Too many TOs for the W's -- a recurring problem for them lately.

The Warriors have much more potential to them, but they are not connected or in lock-step like the Thunder.

fabiani12333 · 11-11-2025, 09:34 PM

Curry with 5 fouls with over 9 minutes left in the 3rd -- brutal game for the Warriors.

There's levels to this ish....

OKC simply has too much defensive tenacity to throw at opponents with infinite flexibility. Caruso off the bench with 4 steals. Embarrassment of riches.

Feels like SGA's a lock for 30 even if he sits out the entire 4th. Every time.

This new League Pass/ Peacock timeshare is an unforgivable sin.

spurs50fan · 11-11-2025, 10:42 PM

Great ending to that game. Justin was on a heater

11pm EST tip just can’t be good for viewership. If it was, NFL would have adopted it by now.

We haven't witnessed this level of left coast anti-bias since...well...this administration.

Oh look, the Celtics blew another close game.

ninjacookies · 11-12-2025, 09:00 PM

This mf Castle's suddenly morphed into CP3. Might low key take the assists crown this year if he keeps this up.

And Sarr's basically the better version of Chetneck. With Temu Slemby upside. So good.
