I thought this news story today during the NBA Trading Deadline last week was absolute bullshit on so many levels. And it still is, but it turned out to be true. 

Woj (😒) was mentioning that those Warriors called up to the Lakers about possibly trading for LeBron James. Thankfully, that farce went nowhere. 

The thought of LeBron & Steph being possibly teammates is making me dry heave profusely. Especially them playing with those Warriors is give me stroke-like symptoms. Its bad enough that they're probably be in the Olympics in Paris this summer. It'll be Lebron 6th appearance & Steph's 1st.

*blinks* Who was Golden State giving up in that hypothetical deal? Klay, Draymond, and multiple draft picks?

Speaking of the Lakers, they beat Detroit last night. (Small yay. I can't ever bring myself to root for the Lakers.) I've unfortunately given up on Detroit staying at 8 wins or even tying the record with 9. Hopefully they can stay at 10.

Awesome formula, trying to collect all of the 2014 studs on the same team a decade later.  Just grab KD too.

I never watch all star games. Pointless. 

In other news lebron isn't sure he wants a 'farewell tour' because 'I've never been great at accepting praise'

The man who made a museum to himself and does this all the time is not great at accepting praise. 

No one is as humble as lebron. He's the king of humility

Stfu lebron.

And some people still think that he should of done the NBA Dunk contest a long time ago & that him not ever doing it cause the event to be what it currently is today. Frankly, I could careless that a superstar like LeBron has never did the NBA Dunk contest. I wonder if some people are going to have that same energy towards a future superstar like Wemby when he doesn't participate in the NBA Dunk contest in the future.

As for Dunk contest itself, when Mac McClung come back next year to defend his title, hopefully he will be on an NBA team.

I would have to be paid just to say I watched the NBA All-Star game!

I only watched the Alternate Broadcast with Charles Barkley & the very lovable & classy Draymond. It made the All Star Game very watchable. The NBA needs to have them doing the All Star Game for the foreseeable future. The NBA All Star Game on ESPN will be a 2 hour nap for me.

Couldn't agree more.  Whatever it takes; I think I saw a couple graphics were a sorta decent all-star game from the beginning of the millennium had a combined total that was less than the current combined total by halftime (or the winning team's total alone).

Gotta do better, NBA.  Just wait until the Pro Bowl takes place opposite the NBA All Star Game

I don't know what they can do. The players base pay is so much that to paraphrase Musk you can't bribe them, with money.  And the locker room today will handle anyone who just tries to play as that single guy would be seen as someone on the spectrum.

Just make the weekend a meet and greet for the fans, and a short concert for the artist auditioning for the Super Bowl halftime show, which all it is at this point anyway.

Tonight is back to business as usual in the NBA. The main games tonight are Suns at Mavericks & Lakers at those Warriors. BTW, LeBron is not playing tonight because of an ankle problem. 

The other thing worth noting are the Pistons (at Pacers) & Wizards (at Nuggets) are pretty much going to lose tonight. 

BTW, the Bucks are 3-7 since Doc Rivers came over & they're playing the Timberwolves tomorrow night on ESPN. Gee, I wonder what his loser son Austin Rivers is going to say if his daddy who is coaching the Bucks right now found a way to lose to the Timberwolves.

Detroit's current record: 8-46. That equals 54 games. They'd have to go 2-26 the rest of the way to stay at only 10 wins. You think they can do it?

If & when the Pistons get to 10 wins, I'm going to be very very sad. I need something to keep me going & bring me some happiness for the last 2 months of this slog of a season & the Pistons getting to 10 wins will put an end to that. Thanks for nothing, Raptors. 

BTW, if anybody's wondering, the Lakers are 9th & those Warriors are 10th in the Western Conference with 6th place being very reachable for both.

Last night, there was a couple of skirmishes in the NBA. Yay.

First, it was the Heat - Pelicans going at it. 

Quote

Then, it was the sucky Hornets & those Warriors going at it. 

GRANT WILLIAMS FIGHTS ENTIRE GSW TEAM & DRAYMOND MOCKS HIM! "U SOFT AS HELL"

And here goes Draymond showing us once again in the Post Game press conference how sweet, classy, & endearing he is. Its also very funny too. That loser Grant Williams & those other Charlotte Hornets can learn a lot from Draymond.

Good. I don't need anymore reasons to hate the scummy Knicks. That sequence at the end was wild. That was so nice seeing the Pistons throw away another victory in their grasp. 

BTW, that was not a gutty gritty way by the Knicks as the local news was saying. That was a "They better not lose to the Pistons" type of win.

As for those Warriors, they play the Jordan Poole Washington Wizards tomorrow night in Washington. Not only will it be another game for Jordan Poole to suck at, But, hopefully Draymond will show that loser what he's missing right now & for the rest of his career. I also hope that Draymond will give Jordan Poole the cold shoulder & make him very uncomfortable. I'm sure that the Wizards fans (🤣 if they exist at all) will appreciate that from someone who gives a damn like Draymond.

You mean being on the edge of the playoff picture?  I mean, I suppose that's a step up from being pure crap, but I'd argue being mediocre is worse than being truly crappy.  A draft pick in the mid teens isn't going to be a game changer.

Maybe the Knicks should check out a few veteran players. Imagine Willis, Bradley, Earl the Pearl, Dave, Ewing, Frazier...lacing up the sneakers.  Maybe even Howie Komives (I saw him in his rookie year the first time I went to the  Garden). 🤩

Now here's a buzzer beater. Sit through the commercial, it's worth it.

Damn right it was worth it!!

Max Strus was the hero last night. The Cavaliers were down by 10 points with 5 minutes left in the game & he flat out lead the Cavaliers to victory in those last 5 minutes. It was great to see. Hopefully, they can keep it going. 

BTW, I hope that when Steph saw this, he feeling some type of way about it. Mainly, being very salty.

 

The complete opposite of that is the Pistons beating those Sucky Not Worth A Damn Chicago Bulls 105-95 to get win #9 😒. There is absolutely nothing joyful about the Pistons getting win #9. If it wasn't for Max Strus heroics last night, I would of been crying in the corner over this.

I should be throughly irritated by Steph being Steph last night. Scoring 31 points with 8-18 from 3 pointers at the "Mecca." 😒 But, I'm not because its was against those repulsive, revolting Knicks. 

LeBron is 9 points away from scoring 40,000 points in his great NBA career. He will get to 40,000 on the next Lakers game, which is against the Nuggets on Saturday Night which will sadly air on ABC. Yay. 😒 At least, we won't have Doc Rivers around making a mockery of the broadcast & himself. He's now making a mockery of himself coaching the Milwaukee Bucks while his loser son is making a mockery of himself being an "NBA analyst" on ESPN. BTW, NBA Countdown pregame & halftime on ABC/ESPN is still garbage.

I didn't even realize that the Jordan Poole Wizards have a 13 game losing streak right now.

Their next 5 games (hopefully, they'll somehow all will be losses) are at Clippers tonight, at Jazz on Monday, Magic at home on Wednesday, those very crappy Hornets at home next Friday (😒), & at Heat on Sunday 3-10. 

Jordan Poole will most certainly be on Shaqtin the Fool again next week. He was on there last night & it was very very funny. I hope that Draymond was watching this last night & laughing at this.

Add this inbounds to Shaqtin' A Poole's MVP mixtape!" 😂 | Shaqtin' A Fool

It was great to see LeBron making even more history last night by reaching 40,000 points mark in his career. 

BTW, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets again 124-114. The Lakers have lost to the Nuggets 8 times in a row. It was very close in the 4th Quarter & the Nuggets pulled away at the end. 

Right now, the Lakers are in 10th place in the Western Conference. I don't know why people still thinking & hoping that the Lakers will make a big run in the Playoffs like they did last year while not realizing that they're in 10th place & still a part of the NBA Play-In. The Lakers are very lucky that 6th place is still reachable to them (only 3 games back for 6th place). The same can be said for those Warriors (in 9th place 2.5 games back for 6th place).

While there's a first time for anything, no team that finished the NBA regular season in its current 10th place spot has advanced to the sixteen team field.  That would be a tall order.  One I still would not be surprised if LA made it

They have to advance - what will all of the people who complain about Lakers/LeBron coverage do if they get bounced right away?

We'll plan a victory parade for the extremely meaningful in-season tournament championship Bron-bron won!  We'll have cotton candy and corn dogs and clowns and just celebrate the schadenfreude of it all!

I'll save that celebration for when those Warriors get eliminated at the Play-In. Maybe Steph can play the clown when it happens. They're currently in 9th place & the Lakers are still in 10th place. Plus, I really hate corndogs.

The Celtics have been great this season but I didn't think they would beat down the Warriors.

I should be somewhat impressed about the Celtics beating the crap out of those Warriors 140-88. But, its still left me wondering where in the hell was this type of performance in the Finals a couple of yrs ago. Thanks for nothing Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown.

Quote

 If they keep playing like they are I don't know who will beat them for the championship.

I think that the Denver Nuggets can probably beat the Celtics if they meet. Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown will find a way to mess it up when it counts like they did against those Warriors. Plus, ESPN will be rooting for them & the Celtics, so it'll definitely make me want to see the Celtics fail again. Besides, I would rather have another Nuggets victory parade because I know that they will badmouth the Lakers again & that was absolutely hilarious. I wouldn't mind another taste of that.

Does anybody realize that the Pistons & Wizards both have the same record right now?  Both of these losers are now 9-51. The Pistons thankfully lost last night, so now we need the Jordan Poole Wizards to go down to the Jazz tonight. It'll be 15 losses in a row when it happens tonight.

Last night was a very good night for me in the NBA. The Celtics were up by 22 points early in the 4th Quarter & it looked like the game was lost for the Cavaliers. Thankfully, the Cavaliers turned a 22 point blowout & a probable loss into a 105-104 comeback victory. Some guy name Dean Wade was a major help in that comeback victory. Dean Wade got scored 20 points in the 4th Quarter & basically outscored the Celtics by himself 20-17. That was beautiful to watch & I hope that ESPN & SAS is seething over this.

The Pistons also lost to the Heat & the wretched scummy Knicks lost the sorry Hawks. Overall, it was an excellent night in the NBA for me.

You're not going to believe this, but Ben Simmons is done for the year

Has there been any other player who peaked as someone with future All-NBA potential in their first year and then just went downhill like this?  There are plenty of guys who never seemed to care about basketball above all else (see Dwight Howard) but they were usually able to perform well for a while.

Maybe derrick rose.  Mvp year 3 never really like that again. 

But still had some decent years and a long career. 

Lebron got his 40000 it's March and lakers are mid so....probably time for lebron to shut himself down 

Leaves with 4 minutes left with an 'ankle' injury no one witnessed.

Nothing to see here or to worry about. He will be fine. The Lakers have other problems right now & LeBron's health is not one of them.

Karl Anthony Towns has a tear in his left knee & is being looked at right now. Sadly, it could be a season ender. 

The Jordan Poole Washington Wizards have a 16 game losing streak right now. Sadly, they're playing the very very crappy Hornets tomorrow.

The LeBron James of ankles has to be out there somewhere.

Maybe, Steph needs to pay him a visit. He twisted his ankle last night. Just like LeBron's ankle, Steph's ankle will be fine & its nothing to worry about. 

BTW, those Warriors lost to the Worthless Not Worth A Damn Chicago Bulls last night.

How very sad. I cried in the closet for about 30 minutes after finding out that the Pistons won. That 29 game losing streak and/or winning less than 10 games in a season would of been absolutely special. Instead, we got neither. Thanks for absolutely nothing, Raptors.

And they lost 16 in a row. Unfortunately, they play the very very crappy Hornets tonight. It'll be just as sad & depressing if the Hornets lose to the Jordan Poole Wizards tonight. Its bad enough that Jordan Poole has been doing OK since he's now coming off the bench for the sucky Wizards for the past few games. Also, he wasn't on Shaqtin A Fool last night & I was not very happy about that.

Yep so here it comes again. Right after his big moment another March injury. Second year in a row. 

The poor dear.

I know how he feels, though: I walked up the stairs from my parking garage to my apartment, and there were, like, twenty steps.  I nearly did myself a harm!  I'm staying strong, though, and I have faith that Bron-bron will, too.💪🏻
