ha wow

i ship lauron dervis

some #coolfacts about the suns game winning play from the coach:

“I was trying to create a play where you could score with like three-tenths of a second or something, and I just thought tonight was a good time to do it,” Triano told reporters after the game. “I put it on about two or three days after I took over the job here, and it’s a rule a lot of people don’t know. You cannot goaltend a ball that isn’t going to count, so I told our guys, ‘Shoot the ball in the basket, and all Tyson has to do is touch it on the way down or grab the rim and have it hit your knuckle and go in.’

“I asked the officials when they come and do their clinics and seminars with the coaches. I asked them that 15 years ago when I was in Toronto. I asked them about it, and they had to go back and look at it. I’ve tried to keep it a secret, and it’s not a secret anymore.”

“I told the one official, ‘You know that you can’t goaltend that,’ ” Triano told the media afterward, via The Arizona Republic. “He was like, ‘I know, I know.’ I think they were probably looking to see if Tyson touched the ball because it’s a violation if it goes straight in and he doesn’t get a piece of it.”

awesome

very cool

nice, also nice to baron and laura the "twin peaks" of ilh

holy shit @ baron dern that is too rad

dervis is the coolest thing

i had some idea that Baron Davis was getting involved in Hollywood, had no idea he was going to be in the Stephon Marbury feature film starring Stephon Marbury and Allen Iverson.

crazy comeback by the nuggets to go to OT

trey lyles has carved himself a nice rotation spot

jimmy butler has 100% taken over this wolves team.

great game kev where u at

Thunder seem to be rounding into form a bit. Russ hasnt taken more than 3 threes in a game during their win streak.

I was watching, nuggets had to get that W with both towns and taj fouling out.

jamal murray seems to have figured some things out, he’s shooting 52% from 3 in december

seems like they arent running offenwe through Jokic as much? haven watched them a ton this year.

I wish they’d do it more, but it seems to me to be about the same as always

there were some quotes by melo last week to the effect that hes not allowed to iso anymore, he has to get his off of ball movement and he has begrudgingly agreed to play good basketball

old man Vince lighting up the Cavs

pretty dece tnt double header tonight.

paul out for rockets, brown out for celtics, still a good matchup tho, curious to see if the celtics can get up for this one, they played last night and have m/l played every other day this month, also have generally been bad over that span

rox have a 3 game L streak going too so they may be hungry.

jeff teague out indefinitely with a knee sprain, it looked bad and everyone thought it was an acl tear so coulda been worse. now we see what tyus jones is made of.

Should we poll baron posterizing kirilenko vs dern posterizing the first order or is that too much

Happy holidays ilh glad 2 b back

how tf was green not employed

Free agent guard Gerald Green is finalizing a non-guaranteed deal to sign with the Houston Rockets, league sources tell ESPN.

a beat down in the garden happening rn

welcome back hibachi

the celtics r not doing good vs the rockets

they never do

they are doing a lil better now

bucks comeback too

if the celtics pull this off man alive. down 26 at one point

celtics D decided to show up for the 2nd half, been on vacation for a while

horrible stuff from kyrie here in the last couple mins

will probably hit a 3 here to redeem himself tho

yeah the execution has not been good down the stretch, houstons harden taking a contested 3 at the shot clock buzzer leaves something to be desired too

seems like both teams r kinda shook by the physicality of this two refs game

yah hardens choices have been bad too

he's always had bonehead tendencies that rear up in certain situations

OMGGGGGGGG
