Lol, I still don’t understand that hire. He must know something about someone in the front office.Quote:

Somehow forgot I had tickets to tonight's Sixers Hawks game for the family tonight. Hield and Payne not likely available yet, and we.just shipped out 4 dudes so.......
G Leaguers.... Assemble!
Terq and KJ Martin legacy games incoming 🤣🤣🤣
Blazers just upended the league, shocking fans and pundits alike and increasing their odds as a Western Conference Champion to near certainty with the last second acquisition of...(checks notes, flips page, checks more notes) uhhh...Dalano (rereads note, confers with colleague)...Banton! Bandon, a 6'8 guard from nobody-fucking-cares, will become the Blazers 19th guard on the roster and his 2.3pts, 1.5 board and sub-1 assists per game should be just enough to get past the Nuggets, Thunder or my daughter's U9 basketball team.
Sources say that Brandon Dano was shocked to be traded right after watching the all Star game from his house, somewhere in Delaware.

Had to be kinda embarrassing to lose at home to the lowly Pistons...

Doc continues to amaze me how he keeps getting jobs. I hope Garnett is getting a cut of his checks because Doc has made an absurd amount of money off that one year he just sat on the sideline and watched KG cook.
Donovan really needs to start getting some national attention when it comes to MVP discussions.
How did the Bucks go from Champs to dumpster fire so quickly?
It’s almost like the Bucks blew a 3-1 lead…
Hey Giannis, we’d love to see you team up with Steph out West.
This made me laugh till I really thought about it. Now, as a Nuggets fan, it’s making me slightly concerned. Until Steph’s wheels fall of someday he and Giannis would be a serious problem. They are pretty much perfect for each other.Quote:

They already have almost as many losses with 10 games under Doc as they did in the first 40 games. Lol…
Great article on Jokic. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2...ketball-player
Doc......hahahaha.
Every fucking time with this guy.Quote:

Also- how awesome was Sabrina in the shooting contest against Curry? Insisted on shooting from the same NBA arc - what a badass.
Well, yeah. She's an Oregon Duck!Quote:

Another thing with the Nuggets: during the regular season they use a backup center, in the playoffs Gordon will eat up most of those backup 5 minutes, which makes an enormous difference for them.
Yep. Playoffs NBA is a different sport, which is why I’m still skeptical about the Timberwolves until proven otherwise.
the 5 minutes of all star game that i tuned into were truly awful. i was expecting a shitty product but that was way shittier than i could have ever imagined. why keep doing it at this point? just do the skills, 3pt, and dunk contests. or replace the full game with a 3v3 blacktop style tournament with some sort of incentive for players to actually try because what they got aint working.
Vacation is finally over, some good games on free TV tonight. Suns and Mavs should be a good game.
And if they want a vacation, then just call it a vacation.Quote:

If they miss, the defense gets a thousand bucks. Last five seconds of the 24, a 10 foot line lights up and if someone drives and make a hoop inside the line, thousand bucks. They miss, the defense gets a thousand bucks. Shit like that. Forget keeping score with points, keep track of the money.
I dunno, something like that. I think the LED court was pretty cool.
That’s kind of a fun idea. Could also just do hot spot circles that light up where you could get extra points and $$$
I think I'm with you SUF. Remember when Kobe made his first ASG and came in wanting to prove himself to all comers?Quote:

Sometimes exclusivity is enough of a reward.
GSW were just playing with the Lakers (without Lebron) last night.

Another couple of good games on free TV tonight - Cavs vs Sixers early and Bucks vs Timberwolves late.
In the All-Star game, another idea is to make it first team to a certain amount of points, (I guess 200[emoji849]), because it works pretty good in the rising stars game. That way the game always ends on a walk/off shot. Of course, they’d have to be other incentives, monetary, higher playoff placement, something like that.
