2018 NBA OFFSEASON

players should be suspended by their teams if they date a Kardashian or Jenner.

the phrase "it doesn't add up" is especially funny because if you read the article's laying out of the evidence it does literally add up!

it's so obvious lol

Steve Clifford was hired as the Magic HC btw

i think the missing piece for these people is Colangelo hasn't been actually previously said at any time that he likes to use phantom twitter accounts to attack his own players and personnel, it is kind of weird that he wouldn't have mentioned it before.

new Lowe podcast is he and Arnovitz talking about the Colangelo stuff

interesting, I'm not completely down on Clifford, he didn't have much to work with on the hornets though i still think they underperformed this year. maybe it was the Dwight curse tho

I think he'll be good in Orlando. Clifford is good at getting a bad team with some talent to play to their proper level. I don't know if he can take a talented team the next step.

the hornets offense looked very pretty at times during their good year

P.J. Tucker played Game 7 after three root canals. Didn't even tell teammates. Was unreal.

whoa. very tough guy.

the reason i dont think bron has the heroics in him to beat the dubs is hes already maxed out just barely beating indy and the celtics

LeBron James has eight games with a Game Score of 30 or more THIS POSTSEASON.

There are only 18 players in the history of the NBA who have at least eight games with a 30-plus Game Score in their postseason CAREERS.

spoiler alert for non-pod ppl--they can't really come up with a plausible alternative to it being colangelo. they more or less confirm that the accounts tweeted stuff about fultz that is true but is not widely known and hasn't been reported (guessing it's the family trauma/offcourt thing).

guy cmon

Bryan Colangelo tells me via text: "Someone's out to get me. ... This is clearly not me." Colangelo adds that he's "hopeful to resolve this soon."

I’m excited for the future where fans demand Sam Hinkie to return to the 76ers (he’ll surely make the Steve Jobs comparison) and we soon find out that it was Hinkie or someone close to Hinkie that leaked the story. I love Philly.

theres def a non zero chance the hinkie is the leaker

guy cmon

It clearly came from someone inside or close to the organization, right?

The AI story is such nonsensical bullshit.

ya the leaker even says that they found the accounts before claimed AI exploits

it seems clear that the accounts tweeted recent and confidential information that wouldn't have been known outside the organization

i bet a sixers employee he was following on twitter just looked at the account(s) and figured out it was him

man that mustve been so fun for them lol

it pretty funny that he replicated his feed across all the accounts so he cld read important tweets he needed while also doing his sock puppet business

i bet a sixers employee he was following on twitter just looked at the account(s) and figured out it was him

Yeah. Exactly. He uses his phone number or e-mail address to create the account and they appear on someone who has his personal phone number or e-mail’s “recommended follows”.

I imagine the number of people interested in burning Colangelo or the 76ers broadly is lengthy.

I once read a post on Hacker News that described working for the (Hinkie-era) 76ers. They said it was as dysfunctional as the worst Valley startup but with shittier weather. 😂

prescient

76ers twitter really is just infowars for basketball

solid wrap up of the best drama of the season in this thread

Weirdest stories of the 2018 NBA season, ranked:

1. Colangelo burner accounts
2. Markelle Fultz loses the ability to play basketball
3. Kawhi injury saga
4. Rockets/Clippers tunnel fight
5. KD burner accounts

— Yaya Dubin (@JADubin5) May 30, 2018

kd burner accounts are not weird at all

i would promote portis/mirotic into the top 5 instead of that but solid list nonetheless

excellent list

had forgotten about JR throwing soup. cavs drama comes and goes so fast.

fast as soup

38. NBA tries to institute "Weeks" like NFL but nobody actually uses it

lol i didnt even know about this

me neither wtf even is that

the tunnel fight is my favorite because it conjures up the idea of chris paul having a giant network of secret arena tunnels memorized

i'd already forgotten about Cus Crise and hope i never do again

that was a great night full of entertainment xp

homie said the warriors should play javale in the 2nd half of game 7 lol rip pistons

The Detroit Pistons plan to interview TNT analyst and former NBA champion Kenny Smith for the franchise’s head coaching job, league sources tell Yahoo.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) May 30, 2018

cus crise

man that would be a disaster of a hire

pistons shd hire blake as player-coach and instead of basketball they shd do improv

How did Eric Bledsoe's hair salon saga not make the weirdest story list?

it was on there

#11

hmmmm this is juicy

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Colangelo’s wife, Barbara Bottini has a phone number ending in 91, almost certainly linking her to 3 of the burner accounts.

WOW. pic.twitter.com/PQpe5GccEh

Yesss

truly we are blessed

let he who is not online cast the first stone

love is patient, love is kind, love is a network of burner accounts to defend your husband's collars
