Matt Barnes retired, interesting player

The degree to which Matt Barnes intersected with so many interesting points in recent NBA history is pretty staggering.

Below are a bunch of his various teammates... played with C-Webb Kings, Iverson Sixers, Kobe Lakers, Dwight Magic, CP3 Clippers and current Warriors. pic.twitter.com/86JCfNF6dI

Etwan and Jrue are ballin vs the rox

28 of 36 between the two of them

Capella and Gordon not missing either. this game is good

james

harden has 17 assists and 6 steals

6 steals?! (gawps)

crazy box score in this one. capella, harden, jrue, etwan, rondo trip dub

damn

rox were down by 13 in the 4th then CP went for 8 straight. got them back in it.

jordan bellll

Jordan Bell's defense. My goodness. It's a crime that the Warriors got this guy... pic.twitter.com/OfAPQ6gbVZ

hopeless

Kawhi back tonight!

celtics lost by 20 to the bulls last night btw lol (sans kyrie)

well, kyrie wanted to be The Man and he got his wish

hes been a good the man

after a slow start hes been on fire, now up to a career best fg% near career best 3pt% and utterly dominant in the end game, as of a couple weeks ago he had a 70 per in crunch time situations

shooting percentages by month

oct 44/34/87 - 7 games
nov 50/38/85 - 16 games
dec 54/52/94 - 5 games

its cool to see his level of buy in and enthusiasm for the celtics scheme too, good citizen kyrie seems happy

also he has an genuine love for the city of boston based on circumstantial childhood imprinting

he seems very happy not to be pressed under bron's thumb any more

i kinda think he was more unhappy with the general bush league dysfunction in cleveland tho obvs a lot of that is bron based, that special synergy when a weak org lets its start player run the show

damn lonzo just did a pretty sick chris paul impression for a few minutes there

gonna pour one out for charles wade barkley tonight

andrew wiggins is 4/18 so far in this game

lol towns keeps jumping for no reason at Embiid's drives, euro steps to a wide open layup

76ers vs Wolves is good ILH should be watching it imo

who says no: healthy joel embiid for karl anthony towns and andrew wiggins

philly

i agree

wow that shot by Ben!

having that level of passing from guys embiid and simmons' size is crazy

jeez horrible defense giving jimmy a wide open shot

this isn't news but ben simmons' free throw form is hellish

embiid is not really of this earth i don't see how you move him rn unless he starts falling apart again

closest comp for his FT shooting is joakim noah xp

not exactly an original thought but its pretty funny how many professional basketball players cant shoot a free throw to save their lives

the free throw is an hilarious prank on basketball players

who says no: healthy joel embiid for karl anthony towns and andrew wiggins

i'm gonna go a little hard here but i just don't like wiggins at all and i have huge reservations about kat

KAT should be making another jump this year but he's regressed (so far). might be the coaches fault tho

he seems to have the totally wrong idea of how to play defense

he's kinda slow footed

if he doesn't like contact he should be playing a different sport, it's really that simple

plenty of slow footed bigs get the job done tho.

yeah he shd be able to do this

sixers been killing the wolves on that same cut like every possession
