Hearing Klay may have a serious injury and done for the year already.


Then again, it was LeLakers winning it again anyways.

Looks like it was just reported, Klay did sadly suffer an Achilles tear.

Jesus. What shit luck.

Dude hasn't played since June 2019 already, the Warriors haven't played since last March. Probably been doing work through most of this year, only for it to all go to waste one month before tipoff.

So Net will have KD, Harden and Irving? I mean, can they even last half a season?

I wonder if Klay got the D-Rose curse.

One serious injury after another...consecutively...

Your wish is becoming reality little by little
Who is next?

The Los Angeles Lakers have added to their wing depth, agreeing to terms on a deal with former Milwaukee Bucks veteran (and their oft-speculated free agency target) Wesley Matthews, according to multiple reports:

Lakers look like they're ready to run it back. Any good odds on them winning next season, cause it might be worth throwing some money at.

Otherwise, pretty content with Dallas' moves. Gave up a bit of our offensive fire power in Curry for some needed defense.

Right now I'd expect Lakers to lock up the West again. Barring a Klay mid-season return at 100% which sounds unlikely.

Milwaukee looks like they're finally swinging weight around. Interested to see how Jrue in particular integrated with the team. I don't expect drama-filled Brooklyn to make it past the ECF.

Doesn't matter. All other teams are fodder for the LeLakers.


LA should be ashamed if they even lose a single game this year.

Hopefully Bam doesn't turn into another Whiteside of crappy max deals. Bam is much more skilled though overall while Whiteside was just an elite shot blocker.

Word is Heat are a favorite. Might pull the trigger since Giannis leaving Bucks seems less likely.
