jingles just trucked ed malloy. he's gonna miss a few games surely

Portland Trail Blazers president Chris McGowan has informed the franchise that he’s resigning, league sources tell @YahooSports.

— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) November 12, 2021

hmmm

phrasing of that is a little odd given that this very professional release is already out there

https://www.nba.com/blazers/trail-blazers-announce-president-transition

reading this press release.. seems like this has little to do with actual basketball

McGowan getting out before things turn really ugly in the front office (it's already ugly on the court tbh) doesn't mean he's complicit, but I guess we'll see.

McGowan told The Oregonian/Oregon Live’s John Canzano that he officially resigned on Nov. 1 and that his contract was up. McGowan plans to pursue other opportunities.

I feel that there is not enough appreciation of the original Orlando Magic theme song from 1989. Not from the fans, the team, the media. It’s mostly been erased from history. That changes today with this video I found of a live performance during the team’s first game. All-timer. pic.twitter.com/7vRAjJ0bnr

Slam Dunk Says-a-Me

Scottie Barnes is my new favorite player.

hes really good, a natural baller, if he ever figures out how to shoot could be big danger

been said before but schroder one of those guys you're glad to see on the opposing team

i like schroder coming off the bench, starting not as much

he just seems to make a lot of dumb plays. off the bench he can't do as much damage

he does make a lot of dumb plays but he can also create shots, classic microwave type more or less

lol

Schroder taking a heat check because he’s 4-7 is something I can only assume he learned from Smart

schroder and smart playing together is just a lot

two normal guys just dribbling and whatnot

lol schroder getting mvp chants

celtics fans have not seen a guy just go downhill and score in a couple years

well timed schroder slander lol

Hawks look like ass tonight

Bulls are a really fun team to watch huh

so I’m pretty pro-bones hyland

Wolves up by 28 over the lakers in the 4th

steph was just toying w/ lonzo and caruso tonight

There's something about DeRozan's kinesiology that makes me grin, it's very whimsical

Wolves on a bit of a skid, thank God we got a get right game against a weak opponent

Lol

Ya runs and just moves in general. Very light on his feet I guess? His heels never touch the ground? Idk it's distinctive

an amazing thing about the lakers is that they're starting their schedule with 12 home games and only 3 games on the road

Bones Hyland being ready to play already is huge for the nuggets. They’re gonna get 4 years of contribution on the rookie scale.

sounds like he caught it early and his chances are good, but wish this guy the best, he once got the sacramento kings to 39 wins.

the pelicans won

First place by conference:

montrezl harrell has been insane this year

sort of. his numbers have just scaled up with more minutes but his defense still sucks

inside intel

Robert Williams’ first impression of Evan Mobley: “He’s tall as hell.”

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) November 14, 2021

harrell was like 6th on bball ref's mvp watch thing last time i checked it and i def did a double-take

he looks like he did before the clips added the big names and he went to play with the lakers big names

xp big men do well in bball-ref's various advanced metrics, and harrell is a darling bc of his rebounding and high fg%

But also they’re winning so that’s cool

that mvp tracker really likes team record it seems

truly one of the dumbest fouls I’ve ever seen by miles bridges defending a half court heave

lol scary terry rozier winning a tip vs dray to seal the game

*terrible toss but still

nikola jokic: very good at basketball
