yeah, stop testing for all non performance enhancing drugs

Is cocaine a performance enhancing drug?

If you do enough

we need to see russell westbrook play a game on coke to reach a scientific conclusion

would love to see some of those late 70s games with a cheat sheet for who was on what drugs

westbrook on coke would get his entire body stuck in the basket teen wolf style

lol

happy "Andrew Wiggins really gets it now" season to all who celebrate :)

Karl-Anthony Towns said that he “hasn’t been in a good place” since his mother went to the hospital. Towns said he’s lost 6 other family members to COVID.

“I'm the one looking for answers to try to keep my family well informed & make all the moves necessary to keep them alive."

Damn, that's horrible.

i can't imagine. And to have to be in the public eye as a performer and athlete at the same time? And be not yet 26? Dude should maybe retire for a year.

wtfffff

#Sixers coach Doc Rivers on Paul George’s comments about the Los Angeles Clippers lack of adjustments while blowing a 3-1 series to the Denver Nuggets in the second round of last season’s playoffs. Paul was also criticism of how Rivers, the former Clippers coach, utilized him. pic.twitter.com/2d2I1ODy2Q

"players can play better" bang bang

lmfao now that is an incredible quote

paul george is going to do about as well in a media battle with doc rivers as he did in that game 7

im sure the league knows that this will just result in fake injuries, which i guess is preferable

Yahoo Sources: NBA implementing new resting policy for 2020-21 season with teams prohibited from resting healthy players for any high-profile, nationally-televised game and violation could result in a fine of at least $100,000.

— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) December 7, 2020

what they could do, now hear me out, is create a schedule in which every game matters

kawhi’s looking at that fine number like, shit it isn’t my money

This seems to create perverse incentives to not want to be on national TV

Kawhis rep took a hit last season. wonder if he'll play it differently this year.

This is also James Harden’s promise https://t.co/kHAltGAncK

I do not like James Harden, I don’t like watching him, but the nuggets should trade for him. It makes sense.

Why would you want harden and Jokic on the same team?

i feel like the big questions re trading for harden are

1. will he play off the ball some
2. will he dial back the weird dickishness a bit

if both are yes then it makes sense for many teams to put together big offers for him, if both are no then its big problem

also worth considering that he will be making ~1/3 the tax line in a couple years, according to someone on twitter

matt you are insane

Why would you want harden and Jokic on the same team?

i think harden and jokic could absolutely play on the same team. jokic is a great fit for harden since he doesn't need or want the ball.

the real question is why you would want james harden and jamal murray on the same team
