Has to be, the Onion would have done a better job
Flopping is a system.
What's the deal with this in-season tournament? Sounds totally useless.
FA Cup for basketball, innit?
Wembanyama is a cheat code. Scary how fast he adapted as well.
Nah, he's just a light skin Bol Bol.
He was incredible last night. Especially in the 4th Q. Just when it looked like the Spurs had thrown it away, he just came up big, and so calm. Oozes quality. Can do everything. He’s only 19 ffs, and he looks a revelation.
I just hope that he can get some 1-on-1 time with Tim Duncan to build on his huge potential. A mentor like Tim and a coach like Pop, and your head is going to be in the right place guaranteed.
It's fun to see Naz Reid confirm his level and improve defensively while playing the 4. It's also nice to see him more and more mentioned by medias, he deserves it.
With the way Wemby but also Vassell and Sochan are playing Spurs could easily be out of lottery positions, so which star guard is going to join them? They have picks and they have a core that looks rock solid.
Luka
But yeah Spurs look fantastic. Kinda annoying actually. I’d hoped Wemby would get off to a slow start but he’s hit the ground running.
Starting to come around to the idea of the in-season tournament but I also like Haliburton's idea here: https://sports.yahoo.com/running-up...nament-could-be-a-huge-success-150304811.html
He suggests the winner gets an automatic play-off spot. That's probably too far, but if Silver is obsessed with copying English football, guaranteeing the winner of the tournament an automatic play-in spot, a bit like how the cup winners get Europa League football, feels perfect?

Man Chet and Dort are taking this game to the Warriors. Now Jalen Williams is heating up.
I was sure after that first quarter Dort was going to follow out. He went crazy to start the third
Ha!
I'm happy for him, honestly. The slander during the off-season was ridiculous.
On this end... Marcus Smart isn't working out as expected. We also miss Adams and Clarke, but most of all, we need Ja back expeditiously
This game and the Kings game are two we would have lost last year. A lot more together now. Another good (road) win.
Love the commentary on this one - moving at 5, going to great defender at 3, Curry side step, Curry drive, Curry flip, Curry good!
Embiid flops at the vital moment more than my cock

I am sorry but how you flop after an elbow, why ...

Whenever I see Markkanen with the Jazz I tell myself that he would be perfect for the current Wolves. So the fact that he was drafted with the Wolves pick stings a lot.
Can't win 'em all.
Is Wemby the real deal?
Battered the Kings in back to back games, albeit without Fox. Last night was just a crazy blowout, we were up by 40 at one point before we emptied the bench.
For the first time I genuinely believe that KAT is done with the Wolves unless his current defensive performance remains and he also reach a high offensive level within the team offensive game.There is no reason to not extend Reid and Anderson's minutes drastically at the 4 which makes KAT redundant.
Your Wolves are looking real good. Been really impressed with what I've seen so far.
Damn. Close. Shame we had to use that last timeout. Good game Denver!
goaltending non call really fecked us in the end though.

Thought we had it when Jokic missed the free throws.
Yeah me too. It’s the hope that kills you…
a lot of misses were short, think we were clearly tired. Really gutsy performance though, a lot to like about this team
Seems tiredness were on both sides, kinda shame for the game it self
It's an unfamiliar sight. I hoped that they would lean on defense and have seemingly decided that it was their identity. They currently play to their potential which should be top 4 in the west but they need to unlock the half court offense, I believe that the team defense is legit but the team offense is dubious.
Aye, Nugggets - Warriors was all hustle near the end with both teams running out of steam.
76ers do not miss Harden at all so far. It is not only their supporting cast stepping up and the ball moving faster, their defense looks slightly better as well. Early days though.. Porzingis (despite missing the last shot) is a great fit with the Celtics on the other side.

Lift off for the Rockets. We have a winning record for the first time since 2020 
It always feels incredible to obliterate the Lakers into smithereens.

The Clippers are a must watch atm
Durant's still great, but without Booker the Suns are going nowhere this year. Hate to see injuries impacting a team so I hope he's back and playing again soon.
