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

How come you guys didn't tell me about Victor Oladipo's album?

V.O.

I saw him sing on the Lebron HBO show he had a nice voice

brb gonna to the "global warming's terrifying new math" thread to cheer up a bit

A league source close to the situation told NBC Sports that Hoiberg could be a candidate to take over in Minnesota where he’d be reunited with owner Glen Taylor. “Glen loves Fred.”https://t.co/T1gF6On4RP

haha ohhh boy

lol

good at making rich guys like you, nice work if you can get it

I'm sort of ashamed that I didn't think of that the minute that Hoiberg was fired, it's such a Glen Taylor galaxy brain move

I think he had to be talked out of hiring Fred before

watched replays of that raptors game wtf i love the nuggets now

listening to the Victor Oladipo... it's naughty!

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn

Agent Raymond Brothers: “Markelle (Fultz) has been diagnosed with Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, (TOS), a physical injury.
TOS affects nerves between the neck and shoulder resulting in abnormal functional movement and range of motion, thus severely limiting Markelle’s ability to shoot a basketball. TOS is treatable by physical therapy.”

lol I remember when our catcher Joe Mauer was out for a long time the Twins came up with "Bilateral Leg Weakness"

"Treatable" means something a whole lot different from "curable".

congrats to markelle for buying himself 3-6 more weeks to shake the yips.

thoracic outlet syndrome is legit... it basically ruined matt harvey’s career. ended chris carpenter’s too. idk if fultz does have it that seems rly bad.

making up a possibly incurable chronic injury is prob not the smartest thing for someone’s career longterm....

QUE. JOGADA.

this was sikk

jj barea backdoor to devin harris for a reverse layup was just an NBA play in the years 2018 and 2019

Are the Mavs legit?

lukagit 2 quit

2 Legit Doncic is a pretty great nickname

as he shall be known henceforth

I'm still bummed The Omen didn't take off. But maybe 2 Legit Doncic has legs.

it does have legs. it has...2 legs 2 quit

boo.

yah!

exclamation points have returned!

what would have happened if you typed DUMPLINGS! under the old rules?

The suns don’t deserve Zion

i don't think zion and ayton can play together in today's nba, so it would still be kinda funny

The suns should be contracted

suns shd be sold to seattle

no way, nba should expand to 40 teams

Booker has been hurt all season more or less. But that’s becoming the norm w him, always banged up.

Maybe as the situation changes Ayton will have a different mentality but as it is his effort level is pathetic.

yeah for now he seems content to just put up his double doubles and chill. not even averaging at least 1 block per game says it all

he was like that at arizona too tho

One of the reasons opposing players finish so easily over and around Ayton is that he doesn’t block many shots. It’s not a surprise, given the LaVine clips above, that he’s blocked just 2.2 percent of opposing 2-point shots. That ranks 36th out of 43 qualifying centers this season and, more broadly, just 87th out of 119 qualifying rookie centers since 1974-75, when the statistic was first recorded. Carter (at 5.3 percent) ranks 21st out of the 119, and fellow rookie Mo Bamba (6.6 percent) ranks eighth. Jackson doesn’t qualify as a center in Basketball-Reference, but he would place in the top five with a 7.9 percent block rate. And pay attention to the Knicks’ Mitchell Robinson, whose 9.6 percent rate would rank second all time, behind only 7-foot-7 Manute Bol’s, if he maintained it for the full season.

from the same article

Ayton’s various failings coalesce into one broader illustrative statistic: When he defends an attempt within 6 feet of the hoop, opponents are shooting 65.5 percent, the highest for any player who’s faced at least 100 such shots. (Second and third from the bottom, respectively, are Nemanja Bjelica and Enes Kanter, who don’t quite serve as role models for aspiring rim protectors.) Carter and Jaren Jackson Jr. rank fourth and seventh, respectively, with allowed field goal percentages hovering around 50 percent.

thats crazy that jaren jackson has a higher block rate than mo bamba looks like weve got a real player on our hands here folks

agree. interesting tho he has a pretty major advantage being able to play the majority of his minutes on the floor with gasol

yeah and for a good team etc

yeah apparently the grizz are awful when jaren plays on his own but he also just turned 19

i feel like at the time there was a real lack of interrogation into the suns deciding immediately to pick ayton

i was astounded at the time that people/teams didn't consider doncic a consensus #1

durant is such a piece of work

https://www.si.com/nba/2018/12/05/warriors-kevin-durant-lakers-lebron-james-environment-toxic

i dont think he's particularly wrong

nah but just why say it?

kd doesn't seem very pleasant to be around

i have no idea how to peg the dude. sounds like his teammates dont either.
