Are you?
What do you think of your team, considering the goal they set for those games?

Cavs are now trying 3rd team players, not that funny...

After the Lakers collapsed without a center against Minnesota, Mark Williams posted a single smile on on x and a not-too-cryptic-story on instagram after the Lakers' elimination while AD remained silent but I bet he's grinning too.

Who do you think is smiling more?

William's story:

Stephen Curry has won the NBA's Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award, which "recognizes...selfless play, on- and off-court leadership as a mentor and role model to other NBA players, and commitment and dedication to team."

Minor procedures are cited as the reason of his unavailability, per Shams

Jordan Clarkson is out for the season

Shams reports: New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III has suffered a season-ending torn labrum in his right shoulder, sources tell ESPN. Murphy was in the midst of a career NBA season in his fourth campaign, averaging 21.2 points and posting his third year with 150+ made 3s

After the infamous trade that led Dončić to LA (and will go down as the worst ever, even worse than the 2013 Nets-Celtics trade), the counterpart AD got injured, but that's unfortunately common, so much that one of Davis' nickname is "Street clothes", plus centers Lively and Afford went down, Martin and Washington are battling injuries and even Kyrie had a problem on his knee.
Karma is real...
