i like when he says "you know that old cliche... it falls on you" cuz it's classic weird guy behavior to say "you know that old cliche" about a phrase nobody says

glorious

in the best of all blazer worlds, dame will finally be able to dirk this team into a title.

something i wasn’t aware of until i heard about it on a podcast is that simons was one of the best catch and shoot 3 pt shooters in the league last year

Love to see a player get hot and everybody just start feeding him/screening for him.

nice that he hit the heat check at the end too

Report: Jazz were willing to trade Bojan Bogdanovic, Mike Conley, Rudy Gay and 1st-round pick to Lakers for Russell Westbrook and 2 1st-round picks https://t.co/K7amL5oJaZ

wait they still have first round picks this decade

that sounds like something the lakers should consider

they have 2027 and 2029 baby!

bron’s a bad guy to have on your team bc he is the worst gm

that's interesting. if the lakers didn't want to do that deal i question their desire to make any trade this year. or their understanding of what the market is for two first round picks that can't be used for 4 years

maybe the distancing is happening

Lakers are listing Russell Westbrook (hamstring) as doubtful to play Wednesday vs. Nuggets.

look if he’s going to get injured from sitting in a metal folding chair might as well call it now

lol how did the refs and the official nba account miss this

mikal bridges doing a lot

klay's first career ejection

Suns look like they did 2 years ago

getting an australian backup center named jock for cash looking like a solid deal for them

jock was good in sa last year in limited minutes, was the aussie league mvp the year before that. he can "shoot the piss" out of the ball (landale 2021).

klay was HOT lol

"They have 4 rings. Repeated over and over. And they do. And they do."

not a natural shit talker lol

booker you can just tell its in his nature and baked in his inner core

So the vibes sound bad

Latest Wolves: Last night's embarrassing blowout was just an expansion, not an outlier, of a season pockmarked by arrogance and indolence. https://t.co/wY9Mf6FjqV

wow strong language lol

it's pretty shocking that a team led by a guy who called himself the greatest shooting big man of all time after winning the three point contest has an air of unearned arrogance about it

also theyve got the guy who started the corona virus which is a pretty big deal

I love Britt Robson so much, great Timberwolves writer who has literally covered every season of the team

his once a week appearance on the dane moore show is a great nba podcast

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dane-moore-nba-podcast/id1399177286

he also writes about music, jazz mostly

the greatest shooting big man of all time

Nonsense. Dirk was a seven-footer.

don't take it up with me, aimless. try DMing KAT himself https://www.instagram.com/karltowns

I know you were only quoting it disapprovingly.

im completely sure it's a coincidence Rozier and Westbrook are both out the same night. https://t.co/mHMb3G0ZSB

hmm terry would be nice for them, they need more tho

pretty much any moves available to them at this point arent getting them to a top 6 seed

sad

yeah, he's a high end version of the random offensive guard they've been trying to find for a couple years

im sure gordon would be a part of any hornets deal too

he used to be a good midrange guy

6 years ago today, Untamed Russell Westbrook torched 76ers on opening night with 32 PTS, 12 REBS x 9 ASTS. Showcasing a smooth midrange jumper 😭 pic.twitter.com/0D1IACQO7V

according to bkref he's shooting 50% from 16-23ft, he's hovered in the high 30s basically his whole career

lol damn thought it was better than that! had to check myself thinking maybe it was like that 10 foot elbow shot he was good at... but 39% from 10-16 lol

Is that a shop?!

truly a mickey mouse franchise

Bucks actually having a nice 2nd half

this game was close at one point and the bucks just choked the life out of brooklyn

Nets were up 12 at half
