aw cmon

saw someone on twitter that when a player leaves a game with a muscle injury youre almost always looking at at least couple weeks which is interesting and correct in this case

hammy tweaks are always rough

its true the hammy is so crucial theres no way to play through it

Take my hamstring Zion, I don’t need it. Take both so you have a spare.

hopefully it doesn’t go downhill if he gets a bit out of shape which makes it harder to recover from the hammy and on and on

i ripped my hamstring up pretty bad in fall of 2021 and it's SO touchy to recover from it, you have to do everything just right or it drags on forever, took me two months before i could reliably run again

Hoopin?

trail runnin

trail hoopin (new sport i just invented)

wow clay is a true trail blazer

it's true they named the team after me

thats pretty cool

i try not to brag about it yeah but there you go

55 for Giannis tonight

wow clay is a true trail blazer

This NBA season is incredible, every player is extremely good while every team is mediocre

so close

Such bad defense switching so easy on the play before so Lauri is on an island vs fox

Wtf thunder. Offensive juggernaut.

Or bad defense Boston.

Giannis drops career-high 55 points to stop surging Wizards

respect but honestly when have the wizards ever surged

lord of the rings comes to mind

If the Mavericks can't come to terms with Christian Wood on a new contract, they are widely expected to explore the trade market for him before the league's Feb. 9 trade deadline, per @TheSteinLine

he just started playing well lol

Suns v Cavs can either team reach 40 by halftime challenge

grizzlies outscoring them both

what the fuck just happened in Toronto. Raps just scored 11 points in like 40 seconds to tie it up

they were up 22 with 3 minutes left. up 12 with 48 seconds left. some inexcusable reffing down the stretch but seriously what the fuck

what is this reffing? they've blatantly blown like 5 straight big calls in favor of the Raptors. Two of which were under review!!! Am I wrong here??

thank christ lmao

thought the final shot was destined to be a 4 point play

grayson allen got to slip a little nut punch in

which was like a six-point play

Would be very Timberwolves to figure out that your team works better without a player you just signed to a supermax

Lol, the warriors halftime show had a long highlight reel of not-quite-buzzer-beaters and it was non-stop heartbreakers

End of warriors pistons was awesome. Klay heater fourth quarter tied it

KLAY THOMPSON DOES IT AGAINhttps://t.co/VXMYohmjMk pic.twitter.com/QAt97xrnM4

Scottie Barnes is having the most dramatic and strange 2nd season drop off I can remember

not even pretnding to guard him

A habilidade de armar o jogo que o Scottie Barnes tem é impressionante, mas na NBA atual é ineficiente ser um Ball Handler incapaz de arremessar.

Passes sem gravidade geram pouco valor.pic.twitter.com/ar9K3Bh98w

yeah the giant point forward scheme kinda doesnt work without shooting

hes like ben simmons without the passing or athleticism

i like scottie hes a baller but theyre asking a lot of him and he does need to learn to shoot

it has been pointed out that they gave siakam a lot of rope and it probably looked this bad at times but idk man barnes might just not be that type of player
