Weren’t people saying that one of Andrew Wiggins family members was dying?

I think that was just idle speculation, the most plausible "family matter" that could explain this length of absence.

That doesn’t look on purpose at all. But he’s a jerk for not checking on him afterwards at least it looks like that

Eh, agree to disagree on the on purpose part. Without all getting Zapruder film-esque on it, by the time Brooks makes contact with the camera guy he's stopped forward motion with everything except his left arm that shoves him. The fact that he walks off without checking on the guy doesn't exactly make it look accidental either.

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.

Much like his assist numbers to bigs throughout his career, I just don't understand how it can be so low.

If you're touching the ball A LOT you are basically never going to get corner shots because 1) you'll never be standing in the corner waiting for someone to pass you the ball like a chump and 2) you will never dribble into the corner to take a shot.

A good chunk of the year has seen DLo and Conley as initiators, so I had just assumed that he'd have stumbled into more than 10% of his 3PAs being from the corner.

Speaking of stumbling, here's another reason you'll basically never get corner shots:

I think we have to give Luke Walton a ton of credit. He had the Kings out there running fastbreaks, scoring in transition, moving fast, getting great cardio. Now the Kings are like 4th in transition and the 2 seed in the West. He’s basically Warriors Mark Jackson

Hopefully it was an extremely painful sprain, but not a break/tear. There's some opinions that the pain can get extremely bad right up to the point it actually breaks, the break itself not as painful as the nerves are fried or something.

My friend reminded me today of my minor summer league Ja interaction. We were sitting behind the Grizzlies bench when Ja came in and sat opposite, courtside
“Hey Ja, where we partying tonight?”
“Wherever you’re at man”
“Excalibur. It’s super nice. It’s a castle man”
“Can I bring my Coors Light?”
“You can bring your Coors Light, Miller Lite, Bud Light, White Claw Light any kind of light you want”

My friend then shut me up before I could say more. I now know how close I was to being pistol whipped

lol, a partially dended coors light tallboy sipped on by Ja is absolutely part of your weird collection

Also who stays at excalibur except for families with kids? No judgement, I just know my wife and I used to go there to play poker because it was a bunch of suburban moms trying to make the most of the 2 hours they got free and were easy marks.

The bottom 3 all have the same odds at #1 and the Rockets are unlikely to crawl out of that range. Charlotte is the only other threat to crack the bottom 3, and they're up 4 games with 12 to play.

I'm going to enjoy Jabari's game-winner.
