A classic

The Miami Heat are signing C Aric Holman of the G-League Austin Spurs to a 10-day hardship deal, sources tell ESPN. His best attribute today? Driving distance. He's on his way to San Antonio to meet the Heat and help them have 8 active players to avoid a postponement vs. Spurs.

Former first-round pick Earl Clark has been out of the NBA since 2015, but he’s re-entered the G League pool and has been claimed to play for Miami’s affiliate in Sioux Falls, sources tell ESPN. Clark, 33, most recently played in South Korea. Another name for the call-up list.

this is the game i have tickets to and we are not going, itd be v v cool if they postponed this thing

unclear to me why teams would rather do this than have games postponed? i guess they’d rather take losses now than have a compressed schedule closer to the playoffs? or is the league just outright forcing them to sign guys and keep things going

the latter is it

m bison doesn’t want to watch tyler herro take 32 shots on the second night of a back to back. for shame!

thought you were a real fan bison smh

The Athletic had a nice article about what an amazing opportunity this is for so many guys who are out of the league to showcase themselves and get another shot to make an impression. But yeah, for all other parties involved the most cynical read seems to be the right one

a ten day contract pays $50-150k depending on experience i mean anyone whos not already super rich has got to be getting off the couch for that

herbert jones seems like the kinda guy that every nba team wants

i think it’s a couple of things—there’s no way to rearrange the schedule so you’d be looking at cancellations and lost revenue. which maybe teams would live with if a 2-week pause or something like that guaranteed and end to this, but it won’t.

Lol I read that as "Guard named League Austin Spurs"

The NBA has postponed the Heat-Spurs game in San Antonio tonight, source tells ESPN. Heat are short the required eight available players.

Rubio done for season with an ACL, damn

cancel the season

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good

some of the team point totals the last few nights have been hideous

yeah this is some goofy shit

couple games id thought would be interesting then checked the lineups and nope no thx. memphis lakers the only one im going to keep an eye on i think.

Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/1aCXSjsnp8

no idea how that’s even possible

lol insane

Lebron just playing an absolutely insane number of minutes

bong bing

Man watching Russ is rough. I can’t believe Bron hasn’t blown up at him yet. Lotta just turning away and biting his tongue but you gotta think that won’t last too much longer

phrase i read in the athletic today commented that westbrook is such a weapon but that "his mistakes are so cartoonishly bad" it's difficult to forgive them and that is sort of perfect for me

happy 37th birthday to “lebron james”

He's old enough to be my son!

dubs nuggs postponed

Should get G-League refs for the full experience.

happy birthday to aimless’s son Lebron James

So cool

The return of Super Nintendo Mario Chalmers

ok?

League source confirms no extra random stuff (cash, dead Euros, fake picks, etc.) in Cavs-Lakers swap ... just straight up Valentine for Rondo.

— John Hollinger (@johnhollinger) December 31, 2021

i think woj or one of the other stenographer tweeter types posted that rondo is excited to play for the cavs but man it feels like any time he isn’t playing in LA, basically, he’s terrible and disinterested

Just an all time weird career
