re: cade injury

Re: Cade Cunningham: If he is managing a stress fracture of his tibia (shinbone), surgery would likely be season ending. The average time lost for stress-related tibia injuries that require surgery is 61 games.

thats a lot of games

most of them, you might say

what

Don’t think I’ve seen this before: A halftime replay review showed Luka Doncic stepped out of bounds before his buzzer-beating 3. They took the points off the board and will play the last two seconds after halftime before starting the third quarter.

my god the kings have been bad

The Kings have a 6-game winning streak for the first time since January 2005.

Their starting 5 in that win? Mike Bibby/Cuttino Mobley/Peja Stojakovic/Chris Webber/Brad Miller. pic.twitter.com/NTo0kaienP

didn't they take away a 3 in the heat-celtics game 7 last playoffs? I hate it, either call it in the moment or let it go

the nuggets hit a grave with those reinstated 2 seconds lmao

I was not aware of what specific group that was outside of Barclay’s Center tonight. I was celebrating the unification of our people welcoming the return of Kyrie to the court, first glance I thought it was a known fraternity the (C/Que’s) Omega psi phi (step’n) showing support

😬

tbf they werent wearing their usual outfits

one of the weirdest plays of the season happened tonight: Luka hits a 3 at halftime buzzer, but since it was at buzzer it has to be reviewed.

the refs rule him out of bounds. so after halftime ends and before 3Q starts, they put 2 seconds back on the 2Q clock.

then this happens pic.twitter.com/6TCBl9pejY

“this is very weird”

wait does that mean he shot at the wrong basket

can they really have been said to have had a halftime

yeah I think the act has to come out and perform again

nuggets beat the mavs on the road without jokic, murray, or gordon, he’ll yes

lmao it was a 1 point game, they gotta be awfully mad about that call

Dillon Brooks took 30 shots today

Sad to report that Ben Simmons had a good game. 22 points

we're gonna get through this together

up to 42 field goals and 28 turnovers. I think the watch party is over

One loss currently separates the #1 and #9 seed in the West pic.twitter.com/4nvTQuRgaj

^impressive, but a large part of that is how few games have been played so far

das crazy

Red Panda is thrilling every time

I’m still trying to understand the dynamic between Jason Kidd and Christian Wood 16 games into the season.

Wood has said all the right things, plays great in the minutes given, fits w/ Luka and has skills that provide the Mavs with the best chance at winning. Something is off.

did one good season make people forget that kidd is an actively harmful coach

It bought him a little airspace for sure

wood has a rep as an empty stats guy. i would give the wife beater some rope here

his empty stats have got to be better than the actual empty stats they are getting from bullock, hardaway and javale.

might be time to start closing those out huh

pretty cool what the kings have going on... but i see what haliburton is doing in indy and i just cant get over them getting rid of him.

yeah haliburton is clearly the better player.

simmon hits his first two FTs to silence the philly crowd lol

simmo playing in philly will never not be hilarious no matter how he plays

3/5s of the Sixers starting lineup is out and Furkan Korkmaz is in the starting lineup and the Sixers are up 9.

seems like about 1/3rd of the league has leg injuries this week

topical: tobias harris to the locker room with an ankle sprain.

hes back in

nets are bad lol

This game is cracking me up.

i would challenge anyone to assemble an nba team softer than the nets

they are SOFT

straight baby thighs

It was like the Bad News Sixers v the Yankees out there except the Yankees were heartless mercs.

Lakers w/o Bron actually holding pace w/ the Suns right now

I mean...they were

wait a minute…what is mason plumlee doing with his free throws??
