These two teams going to OT in 2023 in a fight for each of their playin spots is a seriously sad outcome to the 2018 draft

when will this end

Hawks now 39-39. They have scored 9,209 points and allowed 9,210. They are 24-24 against the East and 15-15 against the West. They have been within one game of .500 for 72 consecutive days.

it's.....it's beautiful

Whoa the Mavs may not make the play-in even if they win out

yeah theyre done

are the mavs the weirdest team overall like top to bottom it’s a total freak show

their collapse is like a simultaneous indictment of trying to remake your team with 20 games left in the season, making an extreme sacrifice of D/size for O, and giving up depth for stars. None of these high risk strategies will inevitably ruin you on their own but woe to the team that tries to do all 3 at once

(esp when that star is kyrie, even when he's not up to kyrie shenanigans he never seems to influence winning much)

yeah kyries deeply flawed as a basketball player

I wonder where he goes next?

still waiting for someone, anyone in the media to point out that the mavs turned their team over to a guy whose sole professional experience was working in marketing at nike and maybe that's the entire explanation for this mess

reasonable point

oof Grayson's ankle sprain didn't look good. I know he can get cooked in the playoffs but still he's an important piece

yeah he looked pretty hurt, tho the injury didnt look bad his ankle didnt turn that much

also I'm confused why Connoughton hasn't been playing at all even after he left

I see embiid showed up to work today, got stomped by giannis tho

nuggets beat the warriors without jokic, I’m wiring adam silver a lot of money to erase the tape of the last 2 mins though

nice statement win for the Bucks coming off what might be the worst game I've ever seen them play since Jrue joined the team

why cant the dubs win on the road its so weird, coach nick has a video where he says theyre basically just not defending the corner 3 on the road??

it’s haunted, only the corner in their court has been cleared of the spirits

seems right, theyve always kinda of done this but teams are making their shots so maybe adjust idk. theres a lot of dubs storylines this year.

lol

The Mavericks are ‘seriously considering’ shutting down Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to push for a top 10 pick, per @ShamsCharania

69D chess

Watching Cuban, Kidd and the Mavs FO sell out in order to bring Kyrie on board, then instantly exploding into tiny fragments has been the greatest satisfaction of the regular season. By far.

great franchise doing normal things

xpost agreed, just wonderful

I’d love to fire up the ol arg with Jordan about how Dallas is a poorly run franchise and the hawks have a better future but currently a 30 yr old son of our owner is chilling with his buds, secretly running the team.

Snyder’s got a pretty great lineup to work with so we’ll see. Trust no one

really glad this is happening to mark cuban and not a team i care about at all

still seems mostly likely hell resign with dallas which wld be funny in its own way

it's a total lose-lose for dallas. they let him walk, they gave up draft capital and iportant role players for nothing. they re-sign him, theyre doomed to underperform. it's perfect.

yup

sign and trade might be best if anyones interested

can you sign and trade someone to another universe

trade him to the Packers

kyrie irving has been traded to... fuckin antarctica

antarctica doesnt exist tho

its where the government is guarding the edge of the flat earth

it would be great, he could do some of his own research

kyrie live streaming from the so called south poll

this is your boy kyrie i'm in space now because i fell off the earth remember to subscribe for notifications because i'm probably gonna die from lack of oxygen

only team imprudent and desperate enough to try and deal with his bullshit is the lakers at this pt

it's like chile laid sideways

just wait until someone doesn't have the playoff run they were hoping for, there are a lot of teams with high expectations at the moment

feel like at some point teams will get wise to the fact that its not good to have kyrie on your team but it hasnt happened yet
