2018 NBA OFFSEASON

haa

• The Kings made that jump only because they lost a "coin flip" (actually a separate drawing) in April with the Bulls. Had that coin flip gone the other way, Chicago owns the four-number combination in question and is picking No. 2. Atlanta similarly won Tuesday night by losing a coin flip with Dallas, which fell to No. 5.

yeah i had no idea they flipped for number combos!

its all about the combos baby!

what the christ

If the machine in which the balls bounce breaks down, the NBA has a contingency: dump all 14 balls into a basketball with a hole cut out of the top. A league official closes that hole, shakes the basketball, opens it up, and picks out the balls.

they shd just do it that way

it’s objectively better because they use a ball. a basketball.

im sayin, also what if they drop it and all the balls fall out driving the assembled team reps wild

"They always hooked me up ... then I called up one night and they said it would be $7,800. I was like, 'Oh, um, why is this the first time you guys are charging me?' They said that you should have thought of that before you went on The Jimmy Fallon Show. I was like, 'Wow, this is real.' I've apologized many times to try and get my seats again."

lmao

haha they are both babys

quitting a team cause they wont give you free 10g seats anymore is perfect celebrity behavior

also thinking theyre your seats

think of all ethan hawke has given us i mean who would we be w/o the work of ethan hawke

id prob do the same thing if i was dolan

i wld ban ethan hawke then find further ways of antagonizing him, i wld imply that if he attended a concert of my blues band he cld get back in my good graces, i wld make him hang out backstage with me then never give him tickets anyway

diabolical

Mike Budenholzer has reached an agreement to become the Milwaukee Bucks coach, league sources tell ESPN.

apparently he refuses to ever shake hands with the opposing coach

lol what source please??

i'm not a huge fan of bud but the bucks desperately need a coach w/a system and structure and he can give them that

i take protecting my sources seriously xp

bud's a great coach. his ability to get the highest potential out of players is insane.

he was probably their best option. move makes a lot of sense to me and should hopefully get them over the hump. judging by these playoffs so far, Bucks feel like they could be #2 in the East

This doesn’t come out of left field. He’s got one of the best agents in the business, Bill Duffy. It’s called “orchestration.” https://t.co/RtU3G8Ardi

a halfway decent org could probably call his bluff but i expect the kings to screw it up

Elfrid gonna be an all star now that he can actually see the hoop

what a good-looking young man!

for real, what a revelation

i give him props for his avant garde haircut but some experiments fail thats just what its like living on the cutting edge

agree. but sometimes, like say, when you're a professional hooper who needs to see the world around you... you have to choose function over form.

i bet i can do that

very kool that we will lose KAT Thibs makes him unhappy. I'm sure we can trade him for Luol Deng

They will 100% drop thibs over kat

they shd drop thibs anyway

TBQH

yeah thibs has been bad for awhile now and it's pretty transparent

m/l this:

You don’t lose Towns. You just don’t. You fire Thibs, you fire GM. You fire trainers and security staff and chefs and trade Wiggins and Butler and whoever else. You don’t lose Towns. You have him on his rookie deal. Everything else comes after “Keep towns.”

If you are doomed to lose KAT, no matter what you do (which was the fate of that perennial doormat, the Clippers, through most of their existence), then you are screwed for the next couple of years, no matter what.

But usually the root cause of such woes is an incompetent front office, so the real answer is buying some top-notch front office execs and give them about 6 years to turn your franchise around. That includes hiring the right coach and GM, of course.

no more dual role coaches. Ever.

has it ever worked in modern times?
