pritchard is such a gym rat you know that wherever his ceiling is, he'll get there

smh doris soliloquy about dillon brooks defense on tatum over clips of him fouling the shit out tatum and a phantom travel

celtics big wins over philly and memphis without half their guys its nice

so i guess the GSW trade is official and the Hawks get Saddiq Bey. seems good for them as they didn't give up much. i'm assuming he's a big upgrade over Justin Holiday

five second round picks!

idk what happened this year but in normal times bey is a two seconds guy

i ended up getting 3 seconds for the lung so the floor is really low

or high? i guess the floor would be high in this situation. sorry i am also high (pain medication)

the floor is up

idc about the picks. is he good?

no

damn

heat centers getting away with murder on jokic and he’s still 7/8

firmly a “christian braun guy” fwiw

tough vibes situation going on in dallas

sheesh Kyrie totally taking over now

hes a very dynamic ball player unfortunately

man i love slo mo

gobert not closing games?

good god

26 points for kyrie in the 4th so far

I mean do you, under certain circumstances, have to hand it to him

aahahha totally flubbed that. kyrie and luka deferring but also great defense by ant and mcdaniels. didnt even get a shot off

i would put money on ben simmons being out of the league before he turns 30

Ben Simmons played 13 minutes tonight — his second lowest minutes total of the season. Jacque Vaughn just gave a long answer when asked about the challenges of playing Simmons, and said it’s going to be a work in progress to find lineups that make sense for him to fit into.

he's like a really broken Magic: the Gathering card that somehow costs purple mana

no idea what that means but otm

dames cooking the lakers, 30 points in the first half, 8 threes.

reminds me of the time kevin love knew steph needed to shoot a 3 at the end of the game

xp

points allowed in the two games luka and kyrie have played together 133, 124, both Ls

the scores are gonna be high

lots of baskets three pointers things of that nature

ya gotta score points to win, that's what my coach used to say

cant argue with that

xxxpost - it's been really great to see that Ant actually has the ability to be a good defender, it's just a matter of locking in and committing to it, but at least it's there, he's certainly not consistent at this point

hes def got the tools

i would put money on ben simmons being out of the league before he turns 30

hollinger pointed out today that the nets getting two firsts and simmons for harden wasnt the greatest deal

watched like 10 mins of the hawks/hornets last night and it occurred to me that i don't really see/hear much about lamelo anymore. is he having a weird year or something?

been injured a lot

i was thinking today about how the sixers reportedly wouldn't consider trading simmons to the kings for halliburton bcuz daryl was intent on holding out for a "real" star

oops

personally still think trading two firsts for harden was a bad trade but maybe getting off simmons contract makes it worth it on its own
