i can't stand rudy gobert

he sucks

celtcis tv guys thinking he got that tech for flexing when he obvs got it for kicking derrick white

yeah idk what they're watching, also he used his off arm to push tatum as he went up for the dunk and caused that spin and fall

Sixers-Cavs just back and forth.

Just big shot after big shot.

embiid fouling out on some bullshit is some bullshit

He was ballin' too.

he bit on multiple pump fakes in that quarter that ended in fouls

overturned!

hes back baby!

lol, idk

i think mobley exaggerated the contact a bit there but feel like it's pretty rare you see that kinda arm extension not be called an offensive foul let alone be overturned

refs have been feeling it all game.

embiid playing ridiculous (in a bad way) defense now

mobley flopped lil bump he went flying

good game i like the confetti on the court, the overturned foul out

occurs to me that his counseling was prob media prep

different type of nike boot camp lol

deaaron fox continues his clutch time heater, freaking crazy

I see anthony davis took some more PTO today, gotta get me one of those gigs fr

i think it's obvious, as has been true every year since i've been posting here, my postseason rooting interest is with the kings of sacramento

theyre pretty cool which is something ive always said

this clippers team is so old man where did they get all these guys

end of this mavs-spurs game is yakety sax af

spurs are trying too hard first they beat denver now they’re expending valuable energy taking the mavs to OT, what’s goin on

not a great last 4 seconds for maxi kleiber

what's Kidd's blood pressure like right now

luka and kyrie both out tonight…?

christian wood just had an assist…spurs understand the assignment now I think

steph going off

i went to the spurs game on sunday when they lost to okc, had seats right behind the camera crew, can report that zach collins stacks empty stats while he blows defensive assignments, perfect tank center

41 thru 3 for steph and he’s making ridiculous lay ups

this shot

Steph must know I’m dropping a Klay Thompson video tomorrow pic.twitter.com/CieKIqD9tf

Clippers looked legit tonight. Didn't feel like the standard warriors road curse.

watching this ja interview… jalen rose not exactly a hard hitting journalist

lmao his answers are all well I went and took care of business baby that's my family we're talking about

just watched, even by espn access journalism standards that was softball

gotta get ja home and tucked in safely

The Grizzlies have decided to leave road cities (like Miami) immediately after the game instead of staying overnight, per @TheAthletic

james harden crossing memphis off his list of potential free agent destinations

all those crazy night life strip club cities such as denver colorado

Atlanta Hawks F Bogdan Bogdanovic has agreed on a four-year, $68 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN.

it's a well-known quin snyder quirk, he really likes to have a bo*an bogdanovic on any team he coaches

prob hoping he can make it through this season and then use that contract for trades?

When Ja conjured up the image of his daughter inspiring him to seek help, I had to applaud the cyrano-ing by the media consultants. Had to lol at him saying “this is not who I am” when I mean I’m not sure what else he’s spent his off court life doing, he can’t even leave a stadium without immediately getting a laser sight pointed at the opposing teams staff. Anyway I guess that’s the end of it, smooth sailing here on out.

it was pretty insulting to be asked to believe that he did any meaningful mental health work in a few days in florida, but mentioning the pseudoscience of Reiki as being part of it was the cherry on top

the "that's not who i am" thing really rankled no doubt. again i get that he prob can't admit to anything for legal reasons but ummm the whole reason we're here is because that's who you are. maybe it's not who you *want* to be... that would've been a much more honest & digestible answer. he wasn't able to sell the canned responses either, you could hear him clicking into coached up mode as if he had been shocked by an electric collar a few seconds after he began speaking

prob hoping he can make it through this season and then use that contract for trades?

he had a player option for next season which he wiped to do this deal so if they wanted to use his salary in a trade they could've just had him opt in as a sign and trade. tho that hard caps you and maybe if they trade him this summer after signing him now it doesn't count as a sign & trade? so maybe you're onto something

in any event i'm not sure who wants $64 million of his 31-35 seasons when his knees break down by playoff time but maybe i'm wrong about his market. he is a great shooter

IDK I think the Ja we've seen is who he wants to be.
