do what you cant see anything the camera guy didnt think such a thing was possible

inbound, one handed pass, beyond half-court, clean alley oop — guarantee that’s happened less than 10x in history in a pro game

not that the rockets are any good, but wemby went into takeover mode in the 4th/ot to get the spurs their first win. he's just an impact player everytime hes out there.

I still can’t believe he’s a Spur pic.twitter.com/FnuQC7ojcW

just noticed he turned the wrong way to block that shot but got it anyway

have def wondered what it’s gonna be like when he learns how to play basketball real good

"Man, look at me elevate for this slam dunk. --- Fuckity-fuck-fuck. What just happened?!"

*stephen a voice* i need to address this jaylen brown has no left hand meme

The drives from Boston are going to be key for them, nice work from Jaylen Brown to drive left and finish. pic.twitter.com/hBBvZw25tk

feel like this video is illustrative of whats really going on, jaylens handle can be a little loose at times but he a guy who gets to the rim a lot the man can dribble at the very least enough to be a very effective three level scorer, with both hands even, hes was 13th in the league in scoring last year, his bigger issue altogether is poor court vision, hes a bad passer he gets lost off the ball on defense hes slow to make decisions etc, if you look at where jimmy butler is in this play hes in position to rip the ball but for whatever reason doesnt try, in last years ecf he was def trying and succeeding, if he had gotten the steal on this play the issue wouldve been more jaylens decision to drive into a spot where the ball is exposed to jimmy rather than any technical issue with his dribbling, theres nowhere else for the ball to be in this drive than his left hand, i mean maybe kyrie could do some tricky throw ahead stuff there but for non top ten ball handlers it is what it is, jaylens turnovers are more about poor decisions than bad dribbling

in conclusion the thing people are criticizing about jaylens game is actually something much worse haha

Catching up on the Bulls game from last night, watched the last 5 min and OT. And goddamn, Caruso is a pure agent of chaos. It's beautiful to watch. 13 points, 13 rebounds (6 offensive!), 3 loose ball recoveries, 2 charges drawn, 6 deflections, 1 block, 2 steals (including the game saving one), and hit the game winning shot. Overall +29 in just over 31 mins. I can almost forgive him for the abomination he calls a beard.

His effort and DeMar being a 4th quarter foul merchant are the only ways the Bulls are going to win games this year.

DeRozan was unstoppable in the 4th but just couldn't hit the last FT. Raptors would have won if they were just capable of inbounding the ball cleanly...

Saw a tweet that said that Bulls/Raptors was the most Eastern conference 8th seed game they've ever seen. That's about right.

definite play-in preview

Didn't know they sold truth bombs at K-Mart.

just sat down at Target Center with my daughter.... someone told me Jimmy isn't playing?? so annoying. he actually sat out load managing when we went to the Blazers/Heat in Portland a few years ago, load managed in two cities.

yeah they're resting him on back to backs to ramp up for the season

feel like jimmy should continue his vendetta on the wolves whats the problem

watching the knicks give zion the biggest possible cushion and he just drives into them anyway and makes a weird layup

weird layups should be a tracked stat

lol for some reason Terrance Howard is here tonight and got a huge reception when they announced he was here

who leads the league in weird layups shai

fun game! Wolves really pulled away in the 4th thanks to Naz. Rudy has been playing much better this year so far, very active on D seems to be moving a lot better.
