yes these are basketball players of whom I have heard

will be interesting to see how Svi Mykhailiuk matches up against Nickeill Alexander Walker

yes these are matchups that are important

i watch college basketball so i know who all these guys are ._.

god bless you my dear friend

uconn is supposed to be good this year and I still haven’t watched a minute of college hoops

gophers are abysmal this year that's all I know

friends the west coast life is not for me. I went to a bar to watch celtics sixers and it’s 8pm and I’m drunk, what do people do out here??

i watched a 10 seed miami team playing 5 out w/ a true stretch center blow a 2 seed auburn team w/ jabari smith and walker kessler off the floor in the ncaa tournament... kessler had 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks on 0-6 shooting in 13 minutes. i was like "well there's no way that guy can play in the NBA." so you guys are prob better off

Luka Garza just did an actual old school Kareem sky hook

what do people do out here??

usually when i am done with work the east coast games are half-over so i go windsurfing or free-climb hood until the warriors or lakers game starts

ok it seems like I should not have been drinking so much at 430 pm noted

31 for The Lad tonight, he's been on one since the new year

Boston’s Jaylen Brown has suffered a facial fracture and will miss some time, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Initial feeling is Brown could be sidelined through the All-Star break, with further specialist examination on Thursday.

Dubs late game execution leaves much to be desired this season

Nets gets unprotected picks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029, source tells ESPN.

lol fuck

unprotected!!

How much of the Nets roster has turned over from the beginning of the season? And from the end of last season?

I love this for the Nets, just accepting that it didn't work and moving on

The documentaries that will be made about that nets team

I love this for the Nets, just accepting that it didn't work and moving on

I love this for the Nets, just accepting that it didn't work and moving on

it's inspiring honestly

Shipping out Durant to a team that is one of the Mavs’ most direct competitors for playoff positioning

Some useful players in there that might be on the market

Nets big wings after this deal: Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Jae Crowder, Ben Simmons, Royce O’Neal. I don’t think they’ll keep all of those guys. Someone is getting moved.

— Nate Jones (@JonesOnTheNBA) February 9, 2023

or the appeal to the next star is a great supporting cast that just needs a headline player or two

bridges, johnson, finney smith are prob three of the top five 3 and D wings in the league

really need to take a step back and give a standing ovation to kyrie btw, absolutely destroyed an entire franchise through such grandiose petulance it's almost hard to fathom

Toronto's talks on forward O.G. Anunoby are rolling into the final hours of the trade deadline. The landing of Kevin Durant with the Suns could escalate Anunoby's value among Western Conference teams pursuing an elite forward to defend Durant.

he turns the page and you find out OG gets traded to the kings

Haha
