Fuck those guys.
I'm not going to do a Nepia, but I am supporting my second team pretty hard (2nd team = where-ever Adams is).
BTW, did you see this:
A conspiracy theorist would say the Mavs ownership are paving the road out of Big D

Watching Rockets vs OKC at the moment, with the hometown OKC commentators.
It's a quirk of watching the NBA that I love - the rank hometown bias of the commentary (in non-national games). Calling players by first names or nicknames, complaining about virtually every decision that goes against them, no hype at all for great opposition plays...
In rugby we complain about bias home commentary but the NBA shows you what that would actually look like.

it's all coming up Lakers in the West. Nuggets, Rockets and Grizzlies have all stalled while the Lakers surge.
T-wolves, Clippers and especially the Suns are falling. Warriors have got themselves above the play-in, and the Blazers are clawing their way up the ladder.

The Lakers offence is looking increasingly sharp, but the key is heightened effort on defence. They are still a little small, but no one is going to want to play them in the playoffs. Not sure if they plan to use that center they traded for from SAC. I don't think he's even played since he joined the club

The front office and coaching team have a lot to answer for - apparently Kyrie has been playing more minutes than any other player
And when I saw him, playing harder because he's trying to make a point. Same as AD. Was all fire and brimstone for 3 quarters before he broke

I quite like that about the home broadcast teams. There’s usually a former player (in OKC’s case it’s former Sonic Michael Cage, as one-eyed as they come) and a commentary man that has been a part of the furniture for eons. Their access to the team is high, some basically travel with the team, so they are just an extension of the franchise because it’s beaming into the home city.
What ESPN International / AUS-NZ does is pay rights for them. I think there must’ve been a multi-year deal on OKC because of the Giddey factor, as we get a lot of their non-national televised games.

ESPN insider Shams Charamia reports that Dallas may shut down AD for the season in the wake of the Kyrie injury. D fans are entering one of the realms of Hell. Meanwhile Luka and the Lakers look to have increasingly overwhelmingly won the trade

This is frankly ridiculous. And it speaks to just how insanely good Steph Curry is that we sort of just say "oh yeah another Steph highlight"
Off balance spinning fadeaway 3 with two guys in his face from the logo buzzer beater? GTFO Sky Fucker
