Late Stage Hojoon

The whole ballgame right here

They’re a lock to blow a 15 pt lead in the 4th quarter. They need to develop some go to actions for half court sets

I’d like to see Steph have a chance to win another title. Houston and Minnesota would be title favorites with him. Get Sheppard/Jabari/picks and start over. Also, Horford back to Boston, who needs him, for Hugo Gonzalez

Blow it up and start over. Steph to the rockets for Reed, Jabari and picks. Horford back to Boston for Hugo Gonzales, Draymond to Lakers for ‘31 pick

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 

Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

Trump finally deciding to uphold one American tradition

Wife is headed to Philly on business and asked me if she should go to the Nuggets/Sixers game and if Jokic will play. I said, sure, he doesn’t miss games. Now she’s trying to sell the ticket. Injuries suck

Shai finally got it that no one else on the team can get it done offensively and he has to takeover. We could see something special from him today

I’m not saying that the Spurs are better than OKC but they sure have the pieces to beat them. 3 guards who can get in the paint at will, good shooters on kickouts, length and athleticism on the wing, and a defensive game changer who shuts down the paint.

This is THE Christmas movie for me

The Spurs have:
- 3 high-level guards
- A ton of 3-and-D wings/forwards
- A legit backup center in Luke Kornet
- An absolute freak of nature in Wemby

Between them and the Thunder, stars in the West should be seeking a mass migration to the East.

Castle stop throwing cross court passes against Thunder D challenge. He’s been so brilliant at times tonight, it’s maddening

Highlight play notwithstanding, it’s been a rough game for Castle. SGA blew right by him twice to start the game, then the 2 pick-sixes

Wow the energy in the whole arena completely changed when Wemby came in. We got a game folks

They have to fix the in between games process. It took forever to get in and the place is half empty at player introductions #NBACup

Still waiting to get back into the arena for Game 2. Nas out here in the plaza just KILLING it. We may have much better energy for the nitecao #NBACup

And the best +/- in this whole game belongs to . . . Tyler Kolek. Really good game by him. #NBACup

Jalen Suggs is out there but barely able to move and grabbing at his hip the whole time. I can’t believe the team is allowing him to continue #NBACup

I’m not a fan of arena hype under any circumstances - no I do NOT want to make some noise, I’m watching a game- but it is so awkward and ridiculous when it’s a neutral site game. The PA people can’t root for both teams #NBACup

Uh oh, Suggs is limping badly. The Magic are toast if he’s hurt #NBACup

I didn’t know Bane was such a maniac. I wonder if this is a new thing or his crazy was just overshadowed in Memohis by Dillon Brooks and Ja. #NBACup

First half summary: tremendous performance by Suggs, Paolo no show, and Josh Hart just makes winning plays

Brunson in full foul-merchant mode right now, and he’s way worse (better at it) than SGA imo

Pretty much everyone sitting around me who’s not a Knicks fan are on their betting apps making in-game wagers. I guess they need something to keep them engaged #NBACup

Magic offense looks great with Suggs on the floor and putrid with him off. Paolo hasn’t impacted this game at all

At tip off, I’d estimate that only 80% of seats are filled. #NBACup

Yabusele has to be the least athletic looking guy in the NBA (think Giants era Pablo Sandoval) and he just casually reverse dunked in the layup line.

If my hairline looked like Jalen Suggs’, I’d be wearing a headband too

None so far. I’m on the look out for a Rashad Lewis

Paolo doesn’t look nearly as physically imposing in person as I thought he would. Brunson is every bit as small as I imagined
