No emotions/empathy reading skills the rest of the crew. The tears and eyes of Luka was clearly out of deep hurt. He envisioned retiring as a mav champion and have a statue and surpassing Dirk as all time greatest maverick. He is an emotional guy who loved his safe space in Dallas and just bought a new house. And on top of all that (even though of course money is and never will be his concern but) missing out on 120 million dollars tax free is πβ¦.. especially with all the other factors combined β οΈ and duh, obviously he is happy and grateful to be a laker no one is questioning thatβ¦ but if he could choose to still be a mav with mark cuban and no Nico of course he obviously wouldβve chosen that.

Knicks should have taken hold of Hartenstein with all their power…

The ONLY reason the Knickβs will be out in the first round is because of Tibbs not giving his players enough rest. They have the talent and fortitude the just keep getting run into the ground.

Detroit will get swept. We need to pump the brakes. The knicks havenβt been relevant in years. They finally get a little shine and itβs letβs fire the coach. Remember when the playoffs start itβs 0-0.

The Knicks are doneπThibs takes his hot players out Shamet & McBride need to play. Payne is not the right point guard Wright is. Brunson slows up the tempo of the team. Villanova guys all suck right now. Especially Bridges & Hart in Crunch time
