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

Honestly no center has played better defense this season than Mason Plumlee. Just every night making plays

I've done a 180 -- or maybe a 120 -- on plumlee. almost has been a poor man's draymond this year

lol we say as he fouls out xp

thunder already in the bonus

Damn buddy hield is really good

Obnoxious number of okc fans in the Pepsi center. Need to start going to games

kind of has been true of denver's crowds of late. I really considered interviewing out there just to see if I could catch a game, lol

oh that was a sick pass from morris on that missed juancho 3

morris!

Morris is a serious find and maybe should start next year

Omg Nikola I love you

omg that jokic pass

They’re not going to replay that pass but it was so sick

nurk has been quietly good this year, 11-9-7 tonight though jonas obv not in

westbrook is a fucking punk

Hormones

Warriors did a 17-2 run to win the game. That game was wild!

westbrook is a fucking punk

i really can't stand him when he pulls this tough guy shit

I love Murray

Westbrook is a legit asshole

Endless mystery why Paul George enjoys playing with Westbrook

Does Draymond still have an injury excuse or can we talk about what’s happened to him

he has turf toe, might take a while

buddy hield would be good on the warriors

as a longtime willie cauley stein backer i've enjoyed this season

heat won in memphis tonight running an entire nba offense thru josh richardson, tyler johnson and kelly olynyk

both westbrook and steven adams had 14 rebounds tonight. adams had 11 offensive rebounds and 3 defensive rebounds; russ had 13 defensive rebounds and one offensive rebound

adams might average 20 rebounds a game if he didn’t play with russ

this is a nice story

After Charles Barkley’s mother passed away, a cat litter scientist from Iowa showed up at the funeral.

“Everybody’s, like, ‘Who’s the Asian dude over there?’ “ Barkley recalls. “I said, ‘That’s my boy, Lin.’ "https://t.co/kN7BctAcUf

No picks involved. Deal done. Trevor Ariza is a Wizard; Kelly Oubre and Austin Rivers are Suns. https://t.co/HkFFqoOWYx

injuries tho you know and his style of play

that seems fine for the suns in the end, whereas wiz continuing to try to push this team up the hill is futile imo

i think i like oubre better on the griz than the suns tho

yeah for the grizz getting a look at oubre and maybe paying him seemed like a decent idea. he’s not going to contribute much in phoenix.

also hes a hot head and being in a dysfunctional environment prob isnt the best, tho on the other hand he is used to it

suns will prob give him some unreasonably large contract lol

Ernie Grunfeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernest Grunfeld (born April 24, 1955) is an American former professional basketball player and current franchise destroyer of the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball Association. In college at the University of Tennessee, he set a new record as the school's all-time leading scorer. He won gold medals with Team USA at the 1975 Pan American Games and the 1976 Summer Olympics. He began his professional career as a player with the Milwaukee Bucks. He served as General Manager of the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association from 1989 to 1999, and as the Bucks General Manager from 1999 to 2003, and then became the president of basketball lunacy for the Washington Wizards. In December 2018, he made a senseless trade involving Kelly Oubre Jr. (Dwight Howard best friend) and Austin Rivers, in which he acquired Trevor Ariza. This is widely regarded as one of the worst trades in NBA history.

(Dwight Howard best friend)

lol

if kelly oubre is really dwight’s best friend i’m really happy he got traded even to phoenix

i’d assume dwight isn’t going to be with the team anytime soon so i’m thinking the damage here is uh minimal

it is pretty rare for a player who gets as much burn as adams does to have such a high share of his rebounds be offensive: http://bkref.com/tiny/mOuqz

the 538 leaderboard is making me a little mad on account of its disrespect toward the nuggets and overall weirdness, for example the "current CARM-ELO" has them 11th in the league which is tbh preposterous, the rockets are third and the jazz and wolves are 8th and 9th, does not compute

otoh one of my favorite pastimes these days is looking at the top of the western conference standings and seeing who is #1, it is ILH's team

i have decided that 538's nba coverage and stats are bad and worthless

in keeping with the brand

538 exists to explain stats to you. W/L percentage is one of those boring stats that anyone can understand without 538's assistance.

they also exist to make up stats that have little bearing on actual gameplay and for that they should be dunked into toilets

basketball is good

amen

tough game for the celtics vs a team that wasn't under .500
