i think the nuggets had scored on 4 straight possessions too

he does some frankly absurd things xp

yeah that play had me O__0-ing.

on that one the bench reacts like he just posterized someone

at the end of the clip you can see a dad hugging his son in the crowd, kyrie bringing families together

tonights reel

Man...Kyrie is truly a Wizard on that court 👀🔥

he really maximizes those angles, so many shots just hangs there on the rim wanting to fall out but always curl back in.

Enjoyed this Kyrie quote on Theis and Ojeleye drilling 3s:
"You’ve just gotta give great energy to the basketball when you’re feeding them."

tought times for fans when their franchise has two lavar balls attached to it and also the president is lavar ball

also RIP the rockets-clippers rivalry

the clippers warriors too. just 4 years ago the clips beat the warriors in the first round

Clips deciding to sit out the Warriors juggernaut and build for the future i guess. was hoping to take my boy to some games and watch Blake but oh well.

dang

Washington Wizards guard John Wall could miss two months after a knee scope set for Wednesday, league source tells ESPN. @CandaceDBuckner first reported procedure.

might be why he's been bad. wiz might should tank and pick up a draft pick.

they're not going to tank

i know, but they should

LOOOOLL

lol isaiah playing some aort of long game here

he wants bron shadow gm status so he can trade kevin love

Chandler parsons esque

if he comes out of this with a max contract i tip my hat

Btw I already know chandler parsons is probably my vote for worst contract of the 2010s/cap spike era when we get around to that poll

Though moz.gov is close given his hilarious roller coaster ride from title contention piece worth two first round draft picks to immediate relic & contract albatross

both the moz and deng contracts are alltimers

lil approx stats so far a season and a half into their contracts moz has played 1400mins with an 8per made $23m and has 2.5 seasons left on his deal, deng has played 1500mins with an 8per made $26m and has 1.5 seasons left on his deal

o sry moz actually has a 12 per over that stretch, mustve looked at dengs twice

this season: moz 320mins 11per, deng 13mins 6per lol

IT a snake man

dont be fooled by him looking like a furby

the Cavs are a tragedy and a farce

its good imo

the nba needs teams like that if everyone is just professional and competent its boring

the cavs are special tho cause they actually got good at basketball via brons emotional regional attachment while being dysfunctional

where your classic incompetent orgs scato ny and so forth are just always bad

btw the lakers looking a lot like theyre in that category

cld be signing second tier free agents and blowing draft picks for a long time

personally, i'm lovin it™

hiring celebrity gms who already have a lot going on in their professional lives to a job that requires full time dedication

the Lakers being the Knicks west long-term would be the best thing for the NBA.

feel like if they dont hit some major free agency home runs in the next couple years thats where theyre headed

IT seemed like a hero last season

then he comes to CLE

what the fuck happened man

he peaked in a perfect situation

not sure why people are still completely down on the Elvis Grbac-esque charisma and leadership skills of Lonzo Ball.

it was all a mirage woven by beautiful brad

were there any behind the scenes issues w/IT that were whispered about in Boston? he seems to be playing the Cleveland situation completely wrong, especially as a new guy. wondering if anything in the locker room caused them to flip him that fast.

like not every locker room cancer has a ticker tape parade about it like Dwight Howard.
