seems extremely likely

yeah jazz due for a big shakeup unless they go on a (very unlikely) deep post season run

doc rivers does not strike me as a daryl morey kind of coach, and daryl was not there when they hired him in philly. if doc ends up being out there i’m not sure doc would be the one having made the decision

Doc seems a little old school for Morey. I don't have anything against Doc, but I won't be that sorry to see him go either, depending on who they bring in.

Lonzo Ball experienced some discomfort when the Bulls tried to ramp up his knee rehab again, Billy Donovan says

He says they’ll meet in the next day or two to determine the next steps

geez. i feel for the guy.

2nd surgery on that knee

not good

jeez he's only 24 still, not great

the blazers made their switch to tank mode so decisively and effectively in the week before the ASB that over the past 17 games they only have two wins, despite playing houston twice, the wolves twice, the pelicans, the pistons, the thunder, the spurs three times during that run. mission accomplished!!

"Despite" playing the Wolves twice, excuse me?

Maxey is 7/9 from 3 at the half.

Maxey is 7/9 from 3 at the half.

And hasn't taken one in the 2nd half yet (9 minutes left).

At least Jordan got ejected and Doc can't play him anymore. Doc should be fired on the spot if he plays this stiff for more than 30 seconds in a playoff game.

make no mistake he will be playing deandre 12 mpg in the playoffs

mason plumlee the worst ft shooter in the league has apparently started taking fts with his left hand when before he had shot righty

anyway he just missed two

that was extremely weird lol

always gotta road test new material, wont know until you try it

if ben simmons won't do it someone should

Otm

cavs, hawks, hornets all lose as the nets win

nets have eighth now in a tiebreaker over the hawks

jokic playing like total trash and somehow has 21-5-2 at the half

god the Bucks are so fun to watch when Brook is feeling it

nets have eighth now in a tiebreaker over the hawks

so you're saying... they have a chance

Vucevic put a hard elbow in Grayson's face, are y'all happy now

I'll need pics before I can decide.

this is kinda like when a pitcher intentionally beans a hitter

the hornets gave up 144 to the heat tonight (second most ever in heat history) including 23 threes (new heat record), in what was ostensibly an important game for the hornets. that team seems very far away from even being halfway decent defensively, i feel like they need to fire their coach and find their version of jason kidd bcuz when you're committed to putting lamelo, rozier and bridges out there you prob need a coach who can scheme something up

so like... if lebron really wanted to play he'd be playing right? it seems like he's waved the white flag on this season

It is extraordinarily bizarre that he tweeted on 4/1 that he was out for the season, everyone myself included assume it was a lame April fools joke. But you would think he would only make that joke knowing it wasn’t going to end up being true wtf

I always thought our society had an interesting quirk in that it's against the law to hurl a 95 MPH fastball at someone's dome outside of the specific scenario of a baseball game in progress

borrego has been running junk defenses for years in an effort to salvage something for this team, it's not his fault. they've stumbled into having a bunch of decent players while having no overarching philosophy or objective.

well this part does kinda seem like his fault.

i'm not saying he's a bad coach in fact he seems like a pretty good coach but they need to find someone who can coach defense better than him because their main guys are what they are

They need some front court roster upgrades first and foremost

that would help but they need a coach who can make them play defense. or like, to even try

RIP Lakers

that's a shame

Suns taking it to em love to see it.

spurs are good now btw

basically once they traded derrick white for josh richardson, a 1RP and a pick swap in 2028, josh's 3-point shitting went fuego and he became the bench vet the spurs have needed all season. dejounte started averaging something like 25-8-9 and keldon johnson is a legit second option now. the vibes are quite decent, 14-10 since the trade deadline.

Spurs are good even when they’re bad that’s just the way it will always be

spurs are the pizza of basketball

Lol yes

the los angeles lakers of anaheim are elimidated from the nba playoffs

good thing they got that lottery pick this year! lol jk only teams with competent front offices have those

the los angeles lakers have died

i already miss them
