Knicks offense completely died at the end of the 2nd and the end of the game. I have a theory that involves stamina but I heard it's bunkum

Jagermeister is trying to block the Bucks logo party because they suck: https://www.biztimes.com/2016/12/09/jaegermeister-seeks-to-block-milwaukee-bucks-logo-trademark-application/

quote:

It also says the potential for damage to Jägermeister’s goodwill “is enhanced by the fact that prospective customers who are not satisfied with the quality of Applicant’s services will attribute those defects to Opposer and this will injure Opposer’s reputation and goodwill.”

In other totally unsurprising news the NBA has denied Toronto's protest of the correctly ruled end of game situation against the Kings. It's hard enough to get a successful protest when you're actually aggrieved, this one had no shot.

gently caress, good Singler burn, but Lillard wears #0 for Oakland and Ogden - we call it the letter O instead of zero around these parts (the announcers at the Moda and home broadcasts)

Dekker/Capella/Harrell have all been so fun to watch. I can't believe how much more watchable the team is with Pringles and without Dwight. I mean, it makes sense now but I was honestly expecting them to be more of a shitshow.

They are going to get bounced from the playoffs early in an insanely entertaining series and I'm very okay with that

I was hopeful about the watchability but I still expected the bench to bleed points without Harden. Gordon has been so good and the rest of them have come along enough that they're fun to watch in their own right.

Yeah it's amazing how much more watchable the team is when it isn't killing 10+ possessions per game on Dwight working out of the post

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I'm sure it's probably Ted Leonsis's fault, somehow.
