It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

....interesting day for the news to get floated that fultz and drew hanlen had a "falling out." these trainers are a f'n joke.

Fultz and the shot doctor snake oil salesman hanlan aren’t on speaking terms any more.

someone on twitter said drew hanlen is good at pr cause everyone knows he trains jayson tatum but no one knows he works with myers leonard too lol

i was listening to dunc'd on earlier and nate was arguing vociferously for trading fultz now. that's going to be tougher after tonight.

pelton's take doesn't make a lot of sense b/c nothing about the wolves roster or trade positioning suggests that they wanted fultz.

aside from fultz being bad i think putting him w/ KAT and wiggins would be a spectacularly bad idea and maybe the wolves realized that

idk they did trade for anthony bennett

sixers shdve tried to put him in that trade was alls i was saying anyway and maybe they did idk

i agree they should dump him asap while he still has a shred of (theoretical) value. his path to developing under an all-in team led by *jimmy butler* is nonexistent to me.

mike muscala doing a pretty good dario saric impression tonight

the wolves are paying jeff teague and have, from their perspective, found money in derrick rose. glen taylor might be dead by the time fultz is playing positive basketball.

fultz is a year removed from being the #1 pick and honestly he looks terrible but it wldve been pretty reasonable to take him over one of the two role players they got back imo, philly being not ready to give up on him or just too embarrassed to move him seems more likely than the wolves not being interested, but idk maybe his name is just mud league wide after this whole yips/looking like hes on the pills scenario

there's a scene in bbc's "africa" where they catch two giraffes getting into a fight. the giraffes are incredibly strong and powerful but bcuz of their height everything is just kinda wobbly, and as they tussle it seems like they might fall over or break one of their legs at any time. this is what it's like to watch hassan whiteside guard joel embiid.

lmao

35/18 from embiid tonight and he just put the game away with a step back 3

embiid went 3-4 from three and 16-20 from the line at 7 ft tall

dude is insane.

sometimes he just starts drawing fouls at an insane rate

think he's leading the league in FTA

he's shooting 10 FT per game at 80% and that was before tonight. so basically just banking 8 points every game.

idk how you're supposed to stop someone that big who can shoot 80% from the line

teams cld really help themselves by just letting him shoot 3s

a lot of those fts are generated via attacking the closeout

i agree. i feel like that's how horford was good at guarding him? he just always stayed in front of him and joel started dribbling the ball off his foot all the time and stuff.

guarding guys on the 3pt line that dont need to be is a pretty common problem these days maybe teams just dont have the time to prepare

not enough cross country flights to watch game tape, or just like you know not enough time to check to see what percentage embiid shoots from 3.

crazy how few smart defenders the league has

there must be some skill to pump faking that some guys have i.e. dudes falling for wade's pump fake long after they should ever be afraid of him making midrange jumpers

spurs v kings. sac looks pretty good. they run and shoot 3s v well.

are the sacramento kings negligent parents? because my lord do they have a lot of screens.

Markelle Fultz said that the ball slipped out of his hands on his double-clutch free throw in the second quarter of tonight's game.

his shot is the charles barkley golf swing

it's so weird how fultz conned everyone into thinking he had ever played basketball before, hats off

haha man i feel horrible for him. the yips is a helluva thing.

montrezl harrel is really fun to watch.

i love the yips so much, just the name the yips is so perfect

the wiki page for the yips is incredibly brutal btw highly suggested

what the hell

The yips affects between a quarter and a half of all mature golfers.[2] Researchers at the Mayo Clinic found that 33% to 48% of all serious golfers have experienced the yips[citation needed]. Golfers who have played for more than 25 years appear most prone to the condition.[citation needed]

i can def attest to the yips while golfing. i played competitively growing up and def had it on a few occasions. the most humiliating thing you can imagine. it seems way more common in individual sports. basketball players go through slumps but you usually dont have enough time to think and jinx yourself you're just more in the flow of the game with plenty of other stuff to think about (minus FTs obv)

pretty sure i get the yips driving stick sometimes

haha

sad

"We didn't even talk when we came in at halftime," Joe Harris said. "There was nothing to be said. Guys were crying. It was really that horrific just to see."

it appears marvin bagley has one singular move

Contract year Trill Will is an awesome player

yeah hes fierce

kings are good, shit

wow draymond is getting PUNKED by montrez

klllaaaaay

that was a horrendous 2 for 1 by KD

hah klay was half asleep for 3/4 of this game then just explodes

on fire klay is very fun to watch
