Eased him in, only playing 11 or 12 minutes to 3/4 time, but exploded in the final quarter. 6/8 FG, 4/4 from 3pt, 17 points in the first 7 minutes of the 4th. 18 minutes total played, 22 points scored. That 3 minute stint was incredible.
It’ll take him a few more games to be match fit, but Pelicans matches are going to be so much fun for the rest of the year.
Yeah he will only get better with each game. You could see the nerves early on. Some wayward passes and that…
What a talent though!!
Kobe Bryant has died in a helicopter crash. Holy Fuck.
What the actual fuck? Brutal
13 year old daughter on board too. Five dead in the crash.
Unbelievable - the spurs/portland game started with two 24 second violations as a tribute to #24
Nice touch
Yeah, was nice. They did the same at the start of the Celtics/Pelicans game too. Also did a 24 seconds of silence using the shot clock to count down, then the entire arena was plunged into darkness as the clock hit 8.
I’ve been watching many of the tributes and I never realised just how good he was, how hard he worked and how thorough he was… Absolutely amazing.
My heart goes out to his family and friends as well as to the other victims on the flight.
NBA putting all other sports to shame when it comes to teams criticising officiating.
$500k fine for Dallas Mavericks owner for his comments during and after the match, bringing his total fines to $3.1m over the years.
In a case of people with way too much money, every time Mark Cuban gets fined, he matches the fine with a donation to a local charity.
Watching Duke v NC and the atmosphere is absolutely incredible.
Todays games likely to be the last played in front of fans with Clubs and Commissioner agreeing on lock down to be announced tonight. NBA may even be placed on a hiatus.
Meanwhile, Jazz v Thunder has been postponed just before tip off. Rudy Gobert fell ill after going around and touching all the reporters microphones, joking about the impact the Caronavirus on the league.
Season suspended…
Gobert has tested positive for corona virus
Fark
College Basketball championship week half way through with selection day set to take place Sunday and March madness/NCAA Championship due to start on Monday.
Current matches being played behind largely closed doors, but expect cancellation in light of NBA.
Will make the NBA draft interesting for those hoping to go post the first round that would have liked an opportunity to round out the season in front of NBA scouts.
Donovan Mitchell has been diagnosed as well while other teams who have played the Jazz have put themselves into self quarantine
Also Gobert mocking the virus a few days ago with the journalists microphones is now looking fairly irresponsible
Pretty good reflection on the NBL if this purchase goes through. The Ball Family are a travelling side-show more often than not thanks to LaVar, but everything I read and saw about LaMelo’s time with the Hawks was pretty positive.
How havent we spoken about ‘The Last Dance’ ? So effing good!
Just starting episode 1 now. Had been waiting for it all to be available so I could binge over a weekend, but couldn’t wait any longer.
