Also, felicidades a su esposa!

My better half will watch the last few minutes of a game, but mostly doesn't watch sports. I've been granted special dispensation to keep the game on at her party, tho.

SRSLY

What is this milktoast nonsense?

Stop all the nonsense with the outside noise! We know what we have ☘️

(this is, of course, satire)

I can't believe how insensitive Jayson Tatum is choosing the date to return that he did knowing full well there wqs already a major event scheduled that night.

The nerve to return on my wife's birthday!

This week, we dove into the likely return of Jayson Tatum vs. Cooper Flagg & the Dallas Mavericks Friday AND @keithob.bsky.social 's new Larry Bird book 'Heartland: A Forgotten Place, an Impossible Dream, and the Miracle of Larry Bird' -- tune in, you don't want to miss this episode.

more work to do, but we can celebrate a lil

He’s going to come back on a night when there are 9,000 Mainers in Mavs jerseys in the stands. 😆

So, so weird. Hoping it's not his hand.

Scal, you're wrong as you could be re: Cling Kong, and you butchered that almost as bad as I would have.

That said, Kon is very, very good and has his own stable of Kon puns to work with, TYVM.

THAT is something worrying me some too. There's been some good reasons for some of them (5 games in 6 days, b2b at alt. for DEN, for example), but am keeping an eye on that also.

They were just not mentally prepared imo. Not buying he's intimidated, that sounds unlikely based on everything we've seen from him. But yips happen, and can explain the wide-open misses, as can hand injuries. I think you're spot on re the latter, alas.

And yeah, this game has been a SLOG.

Haven't really seen that tonight, tho, even if it is a thing. I do suppose the timing is as ideal as possible regarding such things, tho -- yips, hand owie, or both

Luka Garza three

Honestly, I've seen him seek out bigger defenders regularly. But I do think you're right re: the last two points, totally forgot about that hand. Hope it's just yips, but now you've got me a lil worried.

MOAR GARZA PLZ

*either

(That said, it's not evident what is causing it easier from where I sit)

That's not a fair assessment imo. PHI was without Embiid, and it certainly was not Drummond giving PP the yips, nor were anyone on this CHA team tonight causing him to miss open to wide open shots.

Something is up with Payton. Hope it's just the yips, and the end quick.

Ramona is DNP-cat, but Jacinto is dual-screening tonight.

Derrick White is white hot in the 1st quarter, that's 8 points in 5.5 minutes

Xavier Tillman Sr. owed God Shammgod Jr. some pushups when the Celtics traded him to the Hornets. He owed 37 and just cranked out 10 when he saw Sham.
