The Derick Rose family emergency was that he looked at a mirror for so long he thought he had a twin. Then when he went to get ready he realized his twin was missing so he headed back to Chicago to see if the twin went home.

Well, they built that lead before Tyus showed up. He is not a bad option to close out the game since he does a lot of little things well. By the time he got in Rubio was clowning around so I think the game was pretty well set.

Please leave my narrative alone.

I'd actually like to see him at the 2 more to give Zach some rest instead of playing with the second team so much.

The Ringer on Bender and Chriss. It's not pretty.

quote:

Bender was a role player who averaged 14.5 minutes a game for Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Israeli Premier League before coming to the NBA, while Chriss was the third option on a Washington team that missed the NCAA tournament. If they are the frontcourt of the future in Phoenix, it’s a future that is many years away.

I'm still here damnit.

McGruder is one of those guys that had an awesome summer league that the Heat fanbase started overrating. People thought he'd be an answer to our outside shooting but of course he sucks.

I hope you all also watched "The Nice Guys".

I watched and enjoyed that and I was all like 'that was kinda like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which was also good' and one of the people I watched it with said they had the same director or writer or something like that and I was like OK cool.

In Bruges was cool too I guess but I preferred KissKissBangBang

EDIT: Also I tried NBA 2K17 tonight and I'm v. bad at it but I beat the Wolves by just having my guy set all of the screens ever. Also I'm annoyed that I couldn't rig the draft to have my My Career guy get on the Wolves.

that's me though
i'm kind of oddddddd
does anyone like maybe dokmo have the tools to make a compilation of a bunch of Pablo Prigioni steals that happened right after made baskets by the other team?
the MSG cameramen missed soooo many of his inbounds steals after he first joined the Knicks. He broke the rhythm of the broadcasts where they usually do a close-up on the guy who just scored during the (typically uneventful) inbounds pass and they had to change it all up when he was on the court.

God Bless U Pablo,

Thank you for your basketball service

Here's a nice in-depth SportVU analysis that leans towards the conclusion that teams will vary the inflation of the balls to suit their playstyles, which fits with everything I read although I didn't see much talk in the article about taking atmospheric pressure and elevation into account:
http://www.inpredictable.com/2017/01/a-deflategate-analysis-for-nba.html

Still, the tons of NBA folks who were like "oh yeah we did that all the time" during Deflategate makes me figure it still goes on.

I like a lot of their writers but Tjarks is boring and awful. Their more serious NBA writing tends to be really bad which is funny given that Simmons clearly views himself as one of the leading basketball minds
