you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Blake has the most dunks-that-arent-dunks in the history of the NBA.

A dunk is a shot with an only downward trajectory.

Personally my favorite dunks are when they're too far away and just throw it without hitting rim. There's so much more that can go wrong so it's so much better when it goes right.

So someone noticed that Okafor started shaking everyone's hands on the bench part of the way through tonight's game and speculated that a trade was imminent.

They may have been correct.

Re: Embiid's injury. He's been doing light work for so many years that tearing a meniscus on limited minutes is worrying. He's not even playing intense above the rim basketball, he's operating smoothly from the floor. Maybe it has something to do with all the falling over that people have been talking about.

Isn't the injury from when he skyed for a block and the on ball defender backed under him?

Yes, but let's not let facts and reality get in the way.

Edit: also probably from when he slipped off the rim and landed funny on one leg.

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 feel like the NBA has a soft ban of trades for guys who have stuff to do during all star weekend from like the announcement until after ASB so that might be why it's not happening yet.

I have somehow come around to not hating ET. Maybe my subconscious conflates him with Meatwad or something I dunno. In terms of the on-court product he's maybe only like, the 4th or 5th worst part of the Blazers.

While their defense is their most important problem to fix, having a big man that could score would help them. At least that's what I was thinking watching them in their two recent games vs Dallas.

I mean that and it's a good time to meet with other execs and finalize stuff while the players are on holiday.

Okafor would also give Portland a lot more flexibility at the 5. They could then decide who they want to keep out of Ed Davis, Plumlee, Ezeli and Leonard. So Okafor would be a good way for Portland to get under the luxury tax next season.
