Steve Francis+FollowDillon Brooks didn’t even touch the ball… then swung and drilled Curry anywaySuns beat the Warriors 99–98 tonight, but the moment everyone’s going to argue about is Dillon Brooks’ flagrant on Steph. On the replay: Brooks contests the three without getting ball, then on the way down swings and hits Curry in the chest/midsection, sending Steph to the floor. Officials reviewed it and upgraded it to a Flagrant 1 with 38 seconds left. And yeah… it’s Brooks. After the LeBron chirping, now it’s “he’s coming for Curry too.” #NBA #Warriors #Suns #StephenCurry #DillonBrooks #FlagrantFoul #NBADiscussion10Share
Brian Gaines+FollowBruce Brown’s $6M Lakers What-IfCan you believe Bruce Brown nearly became the Lakers’ starting PG after the Nuggets’ 2023 title run? King James and AD wanted him, and LA put $50M on the table. But Brown chased an extra $6M with the Pacers, only to get traded twice and now back in Denver on a minimum deal. Did he make the right call, or did money cost him a shot at another ring? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Basketball #NBA00Share
Christopher Brown+FollowFrom “1-seed energy” to 15–13 and 9th: What the hell happened to the Cavs?Cleveland just took another L, and it’s starting to look less like a “bad week” and more like a real problem. Tonight vs Chicago: 127–111 loss. Bulls shot a season-best 56.2%, piled up 35 assists, and Cleveland coughed it up 20 times. Mitchell dropped 32 and it still didn’t matter. Now the Cavs are 15–13 and ranking 9th in the East ( What’s the real culprit right now? Injuries/lineup instability? Defense slipping? Bad fit/too much overlap in the core? Or is this just a temporary midseason funk? #Cavs #NBA #DonovanMitchell #NBADiscussion #Basketball #ClevelandCavaliers 20Share
guerrajohn+FollowGiannis to Miami? Heat Rumors Heat UpWhite Chocolate just stirred the pot again!

While King Giannis is locked into a massive deal and the Bucks say they’re not budging, the Heat’s allure keeps them in every superstar rumor. Is this just offseason smoke, or could Pat Riley pull off another blockbuster? Let’s hear your takes, Heat Nation! #Sports #Basketball #NBA00Share
David Howard+FollowDeandre Ayton got emotional receiving the Community Assist AwardDeandre Ayton was visibly emotional when the Lakers surprised him with the NBA Cares Bob Lanier Community Assist Award for November, recognizing his community work in Jamaica and Los Angeles. In July, Ayton and the Ayton Family Foundation reopened the Cedar Spring Community Center in St. Elizabeth Parish (his mother’s hometown), turning it into a hub for education, health, and recreation. After Hurricane Melissa, he committed $100,000 toward relief and activated the same center as an emergency shelter and aid distribution hub. This is what “impact” looks like when it’s not just a check—it's infrastructure, a safe place, and immediate help when disaster hits. #NBA #Lakers #DeandreAyton #NBACares #CommunityAssistAward #Jamaica #NBADiscussion30Share
Shawn Martin+FollowThe Clippers are 6–20… and they’re still turning down Kawhi/Harden/Zubac trade callsAccording to DallasHoopsJournal, the Clippers have been rejecting trade offers for Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Ivica Zubac, believing they can still make a push once Derrick Jones Jr. returns from his knee injury. And DJJ’s return might not be forever away — reporting has him progressing to 3-on-3 work and “ahead of schedule.” At 6–20, is this stubbornness… or the only rational move when you don’t control your own draft? #NBA #Clippers #KawhiLeonard #JamesHarden #IvicaZubac #NBATrades #NBADiscussion20Share
Robert Johansson+FollowOnly 3 teammates showed up Chris Paul's Halloween partyAccording to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Chris Paul (and his wife) threw a Halloween party early in the season as a “culture-building” move — and almost nobody came. Shelburne said “maybe three players” showed up, specifically mentioning Bradley Beal and Ivica Zubac. Shelburne also described other early attempts (inviting guys to his suite for a Rams game, workouts, etc.) getting the same cold response — like the locker room “recoiled” at how intense or hands-on CP3’s leadership style can be. It’s honestly one of the most awkward “team chemistry” stories you’ll hear: a future Hall of Famer trying to create togetherness, and the roster basically saying “nah.” Is this on the young guys for not buying in… or is CP3’s approach just too much in 2025 NBA locker rooms? #NBA #Clippers #ChrisPaul #NBARumors #TeamChemistry #NBADiscussion 50Share
Matthew Roberts+FollowPuka Nacua’s brother arrested after allegedly taking Lakers rookie Adou Thiero’s SUVWild and messy LA sports headline. NBC4 reports two men — Samson Nacua (Puka Nacua’s brother) and Trey Rose, both 27 — were arrested over the weekend on suspicion of taking Lakers forward Adou Thiero’s SUV without his consent, per the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Deputies reportedly tracked the vehicle to the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood, where the suspects had valeted the car and entered the hotel. After reviewing security footage, law enforcement identified them and made arrests. It’s also unclear where/when the SUV was taken and reporting notes police said it wasn’t certain the car was “stolen” in the traditional sense — but both suspects were booked on taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent and remained in custody at the time of the report. This is one of those stories where you just say: what on earth is going on. #NFL #Rams #PukaNacua #Lakers #NBA #LosAngeles #SportsNews50Share
Andrew Anderson+FollowFred VanVleet says he overheard Kawhi after 2019: “I’m better than Kobe.”This is one of those stories that instantly turns into a comment-war. Fred VanVleet said that after the Raptors won the 2019 title, he overheard a conversation where the sentiment from Kawhi was basically: “I’m better than Kobe.” VanVleet emphasized Kawhi didn’t say it directly to him — he just caught it in the room. KD’s reaction on the pod was interesting too: he didn’t say he agrees with the all-time ranking, but he understands the mindset after a run like that — the “drop me anywhere in history, I can do this” confidence. #NBA #KawhiLeonard #KobeBryant #Raptors #KevinDurant #FredVanVleet #NBADiscussion 20Share
James Allen+FollowDillon Brooks says LeBron is “Social media junkie"Dillon Brooks is keeping the LeBron feud alive and making it personal. After their latest Suns–Lakers flashpoint, Brooks said LeBron “sees what I’m saying” because he’s “a social media junkie,” then added: “I wish we let him shoot that shot — that sh*t would’ve been an airball.” This is peak Dillon Brooks: he’s not just trying to win — he’s trying to get under your skin and live there rent-free. And with LeBron, it always turns into a storyline. Whose side are you on: Brooks’ “no bowing down” energy, or is this just corny attention-seeking at this point? #NBA #Lakers #Suns #LeBronJames #DillonBrooks #NBADrama #NBADiscussion20Share
