I haven't watched any of the games. It is a long season, you are going to get little ruts of both being great and being bad.

Jimmy doing Jimmy things, unfortunately.

Riley should have moved him awhile ago but still not a good excuse for Jimmy to treat the fans like this.

Set himself up for a max deal on his next contract negotiations. Good on him.

Amen Thompson gives me Mathurin vibes.

A solid -41 tonight from Ja Morant.

Amen Thompson is on another planet. He is MUST watch basketball.

kipgen · 01-27-2025, 10:04 PM

Career high performance, hits the jump shot for the W

Insane

Wide open! Beat his ass to create space. Two MASSIVE shots

mrmojorisin71 · 01-27-2025, 10:05 PM

Amens stuff is rising. I hate it bc he’s my pc but I think he’s raising eyebrows.

sportzluvr1 · 01-27-2025, 10:06 PM

Rockets can beat you so many different ways. They look to have hit big on Amen.

ninjacookies · 01-27-2025, 10:19 PM

Clippers legs look shot.

This might be their comedown game.

ninjacookies · 01-27-2025, 10:40 PM

Magic's offense seemed to flow better when it was just Franz.

bkcardcollector · 01-28-2025, 02:44 AM

yeah Magic are weird right now. It is like Franz one shot then Paolo one shot back and forth systematically like they are out dueling each other, a little painful to watch and could you imagine being a teammate.

jcardstore · 01-28-2025, 07:01 AM

I really hate that Panini is so late on the release schedule. We should have multiple basketball products out by now and the guys who were under the radar picks for me are starting to break out.

Makes it very difficult to prospect in year 1.

Nomad · 01-28-2025, 12:03 PM

I would say aim for the third or fourth year breakout, but the hobby is so rookie year fixated that I can only think of Giannis and Brunson in that sphere. Unless you got that hobby love out the gate, no one will tend to remember you. And if you did get that you can Zion your way into price fixation.

That's a really PC player comment. I kept on hoping for Nesmith prices to rise, but now I pray for them to stay bargain basement, so I can fill out the grail edges.

Okoro may actually be the most valuable piece for them defensively, since wings absolutely torch them night in and night out.

Glad the league granted them a get back/JB revenge game against Detroit.

Holding the Pistons starting unit to 19 for 60 shooting should help some ratings.

Tougher competition next @Miami. Rumors swirling around about Mitchell and Tristan coming down with a case of the Miami Flu already. (Mobley was denied at the door when the bouncer heard his voice. The league is screwed as soon as he hits puberty.)

While I do PC him, he’s being talked about around the league and his prices are steadily rising.

Tyrese Maxey is a great player

Yup! He was the centerpiece of the first attempt for them to get harden.

Nice Prizm and mosaic pc of his.
