Yikes, not a good look for the Celtics by any stretch of the imagination. Least they suspended him.

That pretty much sounds right to me. Insufferably annoying bounce-back year for Brooklyn, Boston is stalked by drama and underwhelms, Minny and Memphis take some kind of leap but it all ends in yet another GSW win that we're all sick of. Would be fitting.

When you have your bag of say-nothing cliches ready but it won't work in this case but :censored: it who cares:

LeBron wants a team in Las Vegas.  So this will probably be Adam Silver's reaction:  "'I'd love to have Lebron own an NBA team but we're not going to expand at this very moment."

LeBron wants to set a new record by getting refs to remove fans from 31 NBA arenas.

I'm serious: who pissed off a higher being in Charlotte and how do we make it right. This has been the offseason from hell and I guarantee you even if we finish with the worst record we will not get the #1 overall pick. I hate it here.
