NBA 2023 - 2024

The Raptor's Jontay Porter is banned from the NBA for betting violations.
I thought it was weird to see a big sports book right next door to the Arizona team's facilities. I then read that other organizations have licensed sports books inside their arenas. That seems crazy to me, just asking for trouble.

Crazy. Not surprised necessarily but definitely bigtime to get a lifetime ban. Players just need to know to not gamble until they are retired.

Yes, haven't heard yet on what happened. He didn't really hobble off or anything.

Yes… with like 2 mins to go… unbelievable talent that cannot stay healthy. Offseason he has to change everything he does… diet, training regime, mental approach whatever he’s doing isn’t working

He worked on this last offseason. Last night he was the only offense... CJ and BI didn't offer ANYTHING!

The NBA has completely embraced betting. David Sterns would be rolling in his grave. I don’t think this will be the last time this type of thing occurs.

Those two guys were a combined 8 for 27 from the field. Awful.

It is amazing to me how all pro sports have embraced betting. The money must be huge but agree it could very well come up more with players not to mention what about referees. I dont think this is a good thing. Im also seeing people making all kinds of bets . They are creating a whole new group and generation of gamblers which is not a problem if people bet responsibly but ……

It's scary because of the convenience and accessabilty to gambling.
 
Didn’t take warriors fans to spiral.

 
Let's go Sixers!

I don't disagree he was only consistent offense. Not sure what was the deal with BI... he was on the bench much of the last 4-5 mins? Zion still needs to work on his body... lose weight, cross train, swim, cycle, yoga whatever else to try to take pounding off his body... season puts all he can handle. otherwise he'll never be able to live up to expectations and games like yesterday will be far and few
 
It looks like none of the stars can make a bucket.
 
Kind of a bummer that Butler is out for Miami and Zion out for the Pels in these final play in games.
 
If this is the Embid we're going to have for the playoffs, I don't like the Sixers chances.

Have faith. He is coming back from surgery and is bound to be less consistent. Who on the Knicks can match up with Embiid?
