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."

Devin Booker talks about Klay Thompson's trash-talking and how much respect he has for him after Klay's first career ejection. pic.twitter.com/QpJk3OVW7C

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.

Chris Paul is never gonna miss an opportunity to mock a ref 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/OmghCLhkUs

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

well jamal murray just put lebron on a poster

this is bullshit; i tuned in to watch russ suck

its always something with this fuckin guy

Giannis Antetokounmpo becomes the 1st player to average 13+ REB & 36+ Points in the 1st 3 games of a season since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1972-73!

Giannis is the only one in NBA History to do both those and have a .670+ FG% in that opening span as well ‼️ pic.twitter.com/i1Z58QrYRp

god Darvin Ham is such a LPC name

Uh, 'record-setting' stats that span not just a three game period, but a very specific three games, don't seem all that significant to me. Greg Harvey is just poking around for something to tweet about. It reminds me of Congress writing a tax break that includes five very specific qualifiers that in real life (lo and behold!) apply to exactly one corporation residing in the district of a powerful congressional rep.

bruce brown is having himself a game

you love to see it

just checked the nets box score, 4 points and 4 fouls for simmons. incredible subplot

he got some assists though

still kinda like a Tim Tebow situation brewing here. he gives you lots of physical talent and the opportunity do to some cool things but his weakness is so glaring you can't scheme for it. difference is Simmons was actually decent once

jamal looks so bad

every single time I look up at the TV Denver has a fast break

every time I post about it too

When’s the lakers first win?

95% of the tickets were on the under for Ben Simmons points (8.5) tonight

He finished with 4 pts ✅

lmao very audible "SHOOT IT, BEN!" (though I think it's KD not Kyrie?)

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/yeg8hk/highlight_kyrie_yells_at_ben_to_shoot_the_ball_in/

i saw that… tbh kicking it out to a wide open KD is a fine play
