2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread

“kinda”

lmao man what a world

i don't know how you come back from that but i feel like mayor pete stans prob proudly say "sportsball" xxp

its funny cause hes so expertly executing the boilerplate otherwise

1) the thoughts expressed in both are relatively obvious and are a good match what you can fit into a tweet, but they are not a particularly close match in their language or weight of emotion. 2) no way in hell did Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, compose that tweet.

The odd use of despite makes me think it’s a poorly plagiarized version tbh

still the all time greatest kobe gif

OTM

this really all feels very wrong for such a fun good times league, the best league in all sports if i'm being real w/myself.

you'll remember pete when the west wind moves upon the fields of kobe

I decided to search Buttigieg sportsball to reinforce the stan hypothesis and came across a tweet so cringeworthy that I hesitate to post it because I don't want traffic linking back to here but I also feel like I have to share it because it has to be read to be believed:

When that happens they will inevitably learn the truth about circumcision. #Pete2020

feeling very privileged to not know what the truth could be. the foreskin is actually still there?

sorry i missed that the entire twitter conversation there was about circumcision

they actually add more?

The fuck is this bullshit in the hoops thread?

fyi it began with a tweet embed

ban tweets

also this marcus thompson piece on kobe was good i think.

on his podcast, BS revealed kobe once prevented him from writing about a conversation they'd shared on "leadership". thanks for everything, kobe. rip.

the woj pod w/ ramona on kobe is pretty good except when ramona tries to reconcile her friendship w/ kobe vis a vis the assault trial in a completely inadequate way

I might be too much of a hater but discussing Kobe bending things to his will is poor word choice

Kobe Bryant didn't just have an iron will or unyielding confidence in himself. He believed he could bend the universe to his will.

And dammit, he often did. https://t.co/vhgkpMDXvq

Tomorrow’s lakers vs clippers game postponed

xp yikes

Moons???

Kind of blown away by how bad the kings are, and how completely the bagley pick has doomed them

it was a bad pick by any criteria

Has bags ever been healthy for more than like 2-3 weeks at a time?

Wolves man.... lose a 22 point lead in the 4th capped by this to send to ot (where they lost)

De'Aaron Fox just did that.

The Kings trailed the Timberwolves by 17 points with 2:49 left in the 4th quarter.

Since 1996-97, the first year of play-by-play data, NBA teams entered the day 0-8,378 when trailing by 17 or more in the final 3 minutes of the 4th quarter or overtime.

The Kings won, 133-129. pic.twitter.com/w1ma1HD7cC

I fucking hate this stupid shithole team

There is no bottom
There is no hope

It's just incomprehensible how much they FUCKING SUCK ASS

it's absurd....like you could have just let the shot clock run down on every possession and scraped by with a win

My condolences
