Enes is following the great tradition of Lloyd Be Free and Metta World Peace.

i mean to get into the play in the wolves only need to be better than the kings, spurs, and pelicans. if they can’t do that they should just blow up the franchise

kyle lowry took a charge at half court on an end of quarter heave by coby white


Built different

i'm sure the wolves can get into the play in, just not sure if they can clip the blazers to get into guaranteed territory. it seems possible!

Well this is very much in character

Is Brook Lopez donezo?

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Sunday, 28 November 2021 21:35 (two years ago) link

It’s not really clear when he’s coming back. Bucks kinda need a center so it makes sense

plan for the Timberwolves be a good team:
1) don't explode
2) make the play-in tournament
3) tbd

Dubs next two games are against the Suns, should be some good hoops watching.

Before trying oreos with milk for the first time, Giannis had shot above 50% in just 1 of his previous 9 games.

Since trying it, he has shot above 65% in 3 straight games. pic.twitter.com/B0WHmIp1cd

7 laker turnovers in the first 13 minutes

When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Monday, 29 November 2021 03:36 (two years ago) link

is it possible the Lakers miss the playoffs altogether

frogbs, Monday, 29 November 2021 03:39 (two years ago) link

yes

ciderpress, Monday, 29 November 2021 04:20 (two years ago) link

unless the play-in games count as playoffs in which case no

ciderpress, Monday, 29 November 2021 04:21 (two years ago) link

man the pistons are fucking dire

When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Monday, 29 November 2021 04:27 (two years ago) link

and even so it is more or less taking lebron to save the game in the fourth. looked like he may have fucked up his abs again in the process. Intentionally threw a hard pass into the face of a Piston defender!

I don’t think so

Spottie, Monday, 29 November 2021 05:08 (two years ago) link

The Lakers seem absolutely bad enough to miss the playoffs. They’re just pretty bad every game and why would that change?

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 29 November 2021 05:28 (two years ago) link

it's not about how bad they are as much as it is about how bad the worst of the west is.

When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Monday, 29 November 2021 05:31 (two years ago) link

i've had a busy week but wanted to swing by and congratulate the lakers for beating the pistons by 4 at home

Clay, Monday, 29 November 2021 06:32 (two years ago) link

lakers could play a lot better than they have so far and they are currently in 6th in the west, like ad will probably not be the worst shooter in the league for the whole season, but on the other had they are a prime candidate for injuries because theyre such an old team, can they miss the playoffs? what are we even talking about when we say the playoffs these days? the play in games are not part of the playoffs i guess so then you might have these one or two games that decide if you "make the playoffs", kind of weird, anyway i think theres a good chance that they end up in the play in games, unlikely they finish totally out of all playoff and playin activities without a lot of injuries which of course are possible

lag∞n, Monday, 29 November 2021 13:30 (two years ago) link

they are 8th in the west rn

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 29 November 2021 13:35 (two years ago) link

not according to the worldwide leader, but its true that 6 through 9 are effectively tied

lag∞n, Monday, 29 November 2021 13:39 (two years ago) link

theyre 9th in point differential

lag∞n, Monday, 29 November 2021 13:41 (two years ago) link

ah ok NBA.com says 8, I don't know what the formula is on tiebreakers, head to head matchups?

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 29 November 2021 13:55 (two years ago) link

NBA has Portland 6, Wolves 7, Lakers 8

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 29 November 2021 13:56 (two years ago) link

should stop doing the play ins it’s dumb and everyone knows it and the bubble is over (kind of made sense in the bubble year?)

Clay, Monday, 29 November 2021 14:02 (two years ago) link

yeah its bad theyre not going to stop now that theyve made new weird quasi playoff games

yeah idk maybe espn has some pretend in season tiebreaker where the team with more wins gets to be first cause the lakers are 11-11 and the other teams are 10-10

lag∞n, Monday, 29 November 2021 14:07 (two years ago) link

Lakers have played a lot of bad teams and it’s usually an epic struggle to beat them. They’ve been bad.

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 29 November 2021 14:52 (two years ago) link

yeah I think I read somewhere that the Lakers have actually played the easiest schedule so far? idk they're just reminding me a lot of the Kobe/Pau/Dwight/Nash Laker team where everyone assumes they've got too much talent to crash and that they'll figure it out eventually but they just seem so slow and labored in everything they do. in fact they actually seem like a good candidate to get worse as the season goes on since they're all so banged up already. unless AD goes supernova idk what other teams are supposed to be afraid of.

frogbs, Monday, 29 November 2021 15:12 (two years ago) link

i think the most likely outcome for them is they finish in one of the play in spots, win a game to get into the actual playoffs and then lose in the first round. even if they got the 6 seed i think they would lose — the top 3 in the west are clearly a cut above the rest of the conference and i think all 3 would beat the lakers. even in the best case scenario imo they get into the 4-5 game, beat someone like dallas, clippers, or denver, and then lose in round 2. they’ve stunk the whole year and westbrook has been a postseason anchor ever since he stopped playing with KD so i don’t see a lot of playoff upside

J0rdan S., Monday, 29 November 2021 15:22 (two years ago) link

lol what the hell

lag∞n, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:12 (two years ago) link

I really think the wear and tear of having to scrap to win every game is gonna show up at some point. Lebron has played a LOT of NBA basketball in his life

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:22 (two years ago) link

yeah theres a really good chance this team implodes with injury

lag∞n, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:28 (two years ago) link

welp

Nuggets F Michael Porter Jr., will undergo a surgical procedure on his lower back and miss an indefinite period, his agent Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN. Bartelstein says Porter’s expected to make a full recovery; timetable on return will come after surgery.

Really wonder what it is. Seen rumors of a laminectomy

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:31 (two years ago) link

They should vaccinate him while he’s sedated

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:38 (two years ago) link

Gotta think there’s no rush to bring murray back now. Probably wouldn’t be 100% this season anyway

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:40 (two years ago) link

super sucky what a brutal run of luck

Spottie, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:45 (two years ago) link

that sucks, once you start having back issues it seems like it's pretty rare they ever fully go away.

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 29 November 2021 16:53 (two years ago) link

Nuggets medical staff has an avant garde opinion about that back and they made a 200 million dollar wager about it. We shall see
