"we GOTTA solve this tanking thing"

i feel bad for DG and BMath, clippers curse is gonna get them for something they had nothing to do with

yo @keithsmithnba.bsky.social just read your article on expansion draft rules and had a question: are there any restrictions on what picks an expansion team can trade? imagining a scenario where a top player becomes available via trade in an expansion year and they just have more assets to bid with.

a big threatening post presence unlocks so much for a team that already plays super fast, not to mention he's great in PNR. you weren't gonna find a 2-way stretch 5 on the market to replace myles' impact so complementing the team's other strengths is better imo.

best move for both sides rn, relationship got very ugly. i think he can provide value to a team that really needs a punch but the nets are trying to build into a brand of basketball that he doesn't fit into and younger guys could use the minutes. hope a real team takes a swing on him he deserves it.

ig bc there's no widely recognized and respected body (like the esrb and their ratings for example) to make/enforce them, but i think it's a practice that needs implementation immediately

something "this is cool, why hasn't a label like this become widely adopted yet?"

uncle dennis really screwed ballmer's pooch on this one huh

"i started thinking to myself..damn. what did he do to make them niggas that mad?"

and just like that coby white will never have a starting role ever again

i actually hate this so bad but if it becomes a problem for the sixers that means they made the finals so whatever

second time the sixers have given okc a shooter for nothing

i mean that's one way to insulate trae on defense

chicago had ample spacing and one of the better passing/playmaking point guards in the league, and all sacramento's system did was create open 3s. i hope it was just a long slump but he's been decent at best from behind the line in recent years.

career percentage, which he hasn't come close to in a season since his second year in sacramento

hope he works out for detroit bc i like them but he hasn't been the shooter he's often advertised as in 3 years

"sharpshooter"

frontcourt of doom and despair

results have varied wildly but in general i like what i've seen

when the nets get an on-ball self creator above the height of 6'6 i'll start taking them serious

funny enough this actually opens up his playmaking, this is how ik he wasn't lying about watching luka film

i hate that it had to be at fred's expense but maybe this finally inspires them to try out amen at the 1

new metro album is a perfect example of how not every art piece should be made for mass appeal

it not charting high has 0 to do with its success bc its metric for success was different from the outset

Hello. I've decided to be someone who talks to NBA head coaches about basketball.

Here's a sneak peek of what's coming. Full episode about random offense (with a bit of breaking news) drops tomorrow

tbf there is a patch on the back of the jerseys, but there's no more pomp and circumstance behind the presentation

pitbull doing a remix of timber for the playoffs in 2013 or whatever was more effort than they're doing rn for the *nba finals*

in a world where stupid people can already make it far enough, giving them tools to make it even easier to be stupid doesn't jive with me. plus the argument that it'll normalize to a brainstorming tool is wack to me bc people have ideas all the time. just call a friend or post on a subreddit.

it's definitely affecting people's proficiency in reading and writing comprehension, whether it be students handing in chatgpt essays or teachers using chatgpt to grade essays

i think the slant on the statements is what makes it stick

maybe if the "magic" and "orlando" on the home and aways were arched a little bit it'd look better? them being completely straight and upright makes it look really cold and sterile for what's supposed to be a fun redesign.
