Disappointing game from Monte Morris, really got worked by the very poor man’s Ginobili

nuggs need these kinds of mins from jerami grant, he's a playoff style player w/ his size/athleticism combo

Bol is a good player, it’s pretty obvious

kelly o hitting pull up threes like he's klay thompson in the midst of a 25 point quarter you gotta love it

well he went off for 20 in the quarter so fair play to him

bol is obv very uniquely skilled for his size and has a good feel for the game, but he's gonna have to play a lot more before he can contribute consistently in real games over real minutes

when he drove to the rim on butler in the first half he got ripped immediately, that kind of stuff. malone won't tolerate him getting punked by vets in important minutes, which would inevitably happen.

Offensively he’s clearly a PROBLEM, defensively he is a QUESTION

i think it makes sense for them to give him some run in these games when jokic is off the floor and the other team has backs up in. i don't think he's ready to be playing w/ 8 or 9 other starters on the floor even on offense, but i could see him torching some back up big men over the course of a few minutes like boban does every once in a while

It’s kind of absurd how good the Thunder are

they just have good players, like *checks box score* L. Dort

PG came into the bubble sharp as hell

they just have good players, like *checks box score* L. Dort

*nerds

So, The Pelicans

def not better than the clippers

Marc Jackson is a very poor man's Steve Kerr

So is TJ Warren a top 40 player?

Feel like there are definitely some teams that don’t have a player as good as he is

huh are the suns really in the bubble

how did this happen

Bol is a good player, it’s pretty obvious

this was consensus right, he was a top five recruit, teams just thought his body couldnt hold up, and then he dropped way further than he shouldve because of like network dynamics or whatever you call it

There were a lot of draftniks who argued he wasn’t good because of various scout type things

ah i thought it was all injury worries but dont think i followed it too closely

starting to think the raptors can really make some noise this year

they play good

Um, Embiid had 41/21 in 34 mins, Simmons had 19/13 and Harris had 30/8 and the Sixers lost.

plus they got photoshop xp

“Adobe”
🤣😂😅🤣
(And he has 23pts, not 19)

xp i respect the hell out the raps tbh

i've looked at tj warren's box score line from today like 5 times and i'm still amazed.

scored 19 in the 4th quarter of a close game. dude can really score.

TJ Warren is an elite defender now too, it’s a serious glow up

so this victor wembanyama kid is 7'3" at SIXTEEN

Yeah he can really play

i was gonna say, he has nice handles and really good court awareness; seems like the full package.

extremely long and thin limbs that get trapped in crevices

There's no reason for anyone to be taller than me. Not cool.

It's pretty confusing when there are like five guys on one team named Equality

Simmons’ defense on warren last night was pretty bad

Terence Davis is a COVID-19 conspiracy theorist so he’s purposely wearing a mask with a hole in it... pic.twitter.com/TkzosKC3J6

Lonnie Walker just retweeted a qanon human trafficking thing

Out of the bubble you go

Xp

lonnie walker seems to be on the side of good, based on his twitter feed

lonnie is def a conspiracy theory guy tho

(he's the age of a lot of my former students and a lot of them share the pizzagate shit which i constantly have to go snopes and be like WHAT THE FUCK DID I TEACH U)

youtube algorithms have so much to answer for

Lonnie’s been through a lot, wasn’t he the one who recently cut his hair and had an accompanying players tribune essay about having been molested as a kid?

thats right, yeah

celtics are forcing the blazers into bad shot selection and the blazer big lineup hasn't slowed the celtics down any. if the blazers go smaller they will lose the battle of who can put the best talent on the floor, unless some blazer bench players play over their heads.

tatum cut his hair and is good again now

not sure i understand the metaphysics of whether a game can still be a fabled ilx bowl even it is happening in "the bubble"
