Yeah, the reaction is not to Westbrook taking a last-second shot when the ball comes to him, it’s to the shot being absolutely god awful

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I'm a glutton for dumb lists so I like this top 100 players article from The Ringer.

Where do you think the best player outside of the United States would rank? So, nobody in the NBA or American collegiate qualifies. Would the best non-domestic player crack the top 20? The top 50? The top 75?

Very frequently the best player in the 2nd best league (FIBA) has been players who were borderline rotation guys in the NBA. So since Wemby was drafted already the next best would probably be somewhere in the 200s or so.

oaching matters and monty is a better coach than dwane casey. He plus ausar and sassers fight, defense, and transition attacking have made a huge difference. Team executes

Bad defenders are at least rotating at the right time to the right places

Killian making shots helps too. Rick pointed out that if you don’t have a rim protector they can make shots at the basket, which just wasn’t true the last three years

RapsBulls was the worst game of basketball I have ever seen, it was absolutely loving clown shoes nonsense from the very start to the very end.

Both teams should be given the loss and everyone but Chris Boucher and Alex Caruso should be fined $5,000.

The quimica he's cooked up with Cade, where Cade throws him some trash through 3 guys legs and he just slams it home, that's really fun

Ausar and Sasser were the perfect draft picks for this frenetic defense first style. Just pushing and pushing, letting Duren clean up the misses from the hosed spacing, no ones afraid to actually take a shot becuase he's there to clean up for them. Lavine scored over 50 and it literally never mattered

He said it starts with a 2 and it isn't 20 million.

Which people for some reason decided what that meant was add another zero, vs the much more logical he wants like ~25 or so million a year.

Which would still be an overpay for his production, but like isn't almost literally a max contract offer lol
