newsflash: playing center kind of sucks

they match up pretty well

one thing this year's Wolves have done that's so huge is they haven't let a bad loss or a couple bad losses turn into a bad streak, like in years past getting utterly destroyed by the 76ers the other night would have sent them into a funk

the wolves look pretty sharp on defense imo. pat bev and vanderbilt are a big part. rotations are mostly good. solid team. kat is really just incredible on offense, nothing he cant do on that end.

lebron james

every russ shot is just pain. 4/16 so far.

luka performing surgery on the lakers defense

that falling left fade-away on the baseline vs lebron was gorgeous

luka floater game is too pretty everything just falls right over the front of the rim

it’s true always but is even more pronounced at the ends of games — luka is gonna get the mavs a good shot almost literally every time down the floor. he was kinda toying with lebron

the lakers being down 21 and then coming back and leading for a majority of the second half and then shitting the bed at the end of the game. you do love to see it

give lebron a little hope then rip it away for added drama love to see it indeed.

russ 5/17...

pat bev and vanderbilt are a big part

Pat Bev for Jarrett Culver and Juancho was such an amazing trade

The funny thing is that literally everything about this team was done by a guy we fired

i know this kinda goes w/o saying but the hawks are just crazy dependent on trae. they just don't have many other guys who consistently bring it on offense... i guess they're missing collins and him and trae PNR is a big thing for them to lose. bogdanovic had a good game tonight but huerter just floated thru the game which it feels like he does often and then after that it's a bunch of guys who aren't doing much of anything on offense. judging a team by how they play against the celtics defense isn't entirely fair but it feels really strained tonight. once trae stopped repeatedly hitting 26 foot threes their offense just completely died

― J0rdan S.,

It was a particularly rough night for the Huerter/Hunter combo. Plus no Lou or Okongwu

and just a reminder that the hawks have one of the top ranked offenses in the league

kd back

Nets star Kevin Durant is expected to return Thursday vs. Miami. He was not listed on injury report today.

got pretty cheap tickets for that heat-nets game last week knowing it might be a KD comeback game. i would've gone anyway but the prices of nets tickets were really depressed even tho the KD return was on the horizon

nice

that should be a good one

the heat will be on a B2B after playing the bucks tonight but should be good energy in the building with KD back

bout to check out this here bucks-heat match up

bucks have to start playing well at some point if they are going to maybe they just wont idk

maybe the bucks need to increase grayson allen's minutes. I hear he's good now.

Bucks might just be sleepwalking through the regular season as championship teams tend to do but I also suspect that Brook was a really big piece for them

Holy shit, Harden just took a charge.

i’m curious what kinds cleanse harden went on after being traded. cuz…

Where's that juice thread when you need it?

heat-bucks feeling like a playoff game

The big question is… Will the harden honeymoon phase last long enough for a playoff run?

tyler herro is a very fun offensive player to watch if you don’t hate him

i like herro im watching philly knicks now tho idk why

the way embiid throws himself around hitting the floor all wildly limbs splayed everywhere makes me think he would’ve been a great physical comic on like mr. bean or the three stooges

lmao

or like those infomercials where ppl trip and throw spaghetti sauce everywhere. i need to see embiid going out to wash his car and then slipping and throwing a big soapy bucket of tools all over the place as his leg flies up in the air

pieces of onion flying everywhere, joel shrugging

haha i love this idea

That Maxey spinning 3 was something else.
