The Magic only lost by 52. Peaking at the right time

Charlotte Harlots normalization in progress. Obviously they'll be lucky to get out a hypothetical first round matchup against a 1/2 seed, but it's interesting they're the only squad in that 8-11 range that actually has a winning record on the road.

'26/27: Package BMill/Diabetes/Bridges for Yannis.

Do it.

LOL. I know this is a week ago but it popped up for me when I clicked on the thread (haven’t been on lately).

Pistons served them an L with Luka and no Cade. Daniss Jenkins dominated!

Pistons are so much better of a team than they’re given credit for. They can win games without their best player, as they’ve been proving.

I wouldn’t want to test that out in the playoffs, though (could maybe afford in it the 1st round)..

I just picked up a PSA 9 Bowman Chrome Ohtani auto. I set it next to my LeBron 03 TC refractor PSA 9. Your prized card display is probably a beat up 25-26 Flagship SGA base card and a Bowman Flagg insert.

This is the most cringe post I might have ever seen on here.

I don't think that's enough. Add Kalkbrenner and the expirings of Josh Green and Grant Williams to take on Turner's contract and you are in range.

Now, if they miss the playoffs and jump into the Top 4...it's up to them. Melo/KK/Giannis is a Top 3 seed right now.

Allowing a 31-0 run is despicable. If only the Devos' actually cared.

Bulls released Ivey. Yikes

Yet another reason I never saw the Paolo hobby hype.

Too poor of a defender to be that mediocre of a shooter on a team like Orlando.

Turner's gonna come at a price. And I'd much rather leverage the remainder of Big Kalk's team friendly rookie contract than pay up for an underwhelming, no rebounding perimeter camping 5. Toss in GTJ somewhere in there and you have all the supplemental shooting you need.

Just got caught up on the JI tea.

You'd think the proud son of a women coaching in an environment saturated by members of that community would be a little bit more self-aware. Or at least have the decency to keep his bigoted thoughts to himself.

Ultimately, can't fix stupid.

And we need that Coming to America barber to visit Sexton…

League happily employs criminals left and right. Beat the #@#@#@#@ out of your girlfriend and baby momma, get suspended. Call out pride month for what it is in his views as a Christian, lose your job. No surprise from the NBA.

Hawks looked good tonight.

There is obviously a massive double standard that needs to be addressed (and probably won't).

We all know your actions as a player only extend so far as your skillset. Ant received a slap on the wrist for the same.

Ivey can cry til' the sun don't shine about his personal views on these topics in the comfort of his own home or private conversations. But freedom of speech does not necessarily absolve you from freedom of consequence. Not when you're an employee of a public or private corporation.

Yes, there's a double standard, but if you're fighting for your roster spot/career, you gotta be more self-aware.

Maybe he doesn't care, maybe he has some other issues that he needs to deal with. But if you want to stay in the Association, you gotta be smarter than that.

AK though...ugh. Another swing and a miss. Can we move on from this guy already?

Indeed. He's a big boy. He knew he was stove touching. So if he's willing to lose a contract over his 'convictions,' then so be it. His prerogative.

Just an interesting move considering his particular circumstances. He's constantly citing his WNBA-ambassador mother as his biggest inspiration. I'm curious what she would have to say about his uber compassionate rants.

47 on 12-19. Think that should all but shut the door on the MVP discussions.

Shotout 8 mile. Still presently one of the hottest teams and gave the fully rostered defending champs all they could handle rolling out their g-league affiliate squad.

They should be terrified of those teams in that big, bad east though come playoff time.

Chuckle.

OKC's offense wasn't very good excluding Shai tonight.

The Pistons bench played well, but Detroit cost themselves at the line tonight. If they make their FT's, they win.

Was trying to do the quick math and thought he went off from three. Then checked the box score. Mike Brown is somewhere feeling confident in his underhanded comments yesterday

If it's one thing Detroit does well, is keeping games somewhat manageable with their defense. Even in losses. Their shooting will always be of concern, and that's understandable. Daniss been doing excellent in his spot starting role.

They don't call him FTA for nothin.

Name a better facial contortionist since 90s era Jim Carrey. (protip: you can't)

Jwax13 · Today, 01:23 AM

Fully rostered? Dub and Hartenstein sat on the second night of a B2B. Thunder not named Shai couldn’t hit anything tonight. That’s why he’s BITW and adding another MVP to his resume.

ninjacookies · Today, 01:29 AM

I'll take Chetneck, Dort and Wallace over Javonte Green, Ausar and BBall Paul Reed 7 days out of the week and thrice on Sunday. Just my 2 testes.

Feels like the media narrative push is in full effect. But there is no greater mark of consistency than Shai right now and his efficiency is on the brink of insanity.

I love Wemby, but he should NOT be closer than where Jokic was at this same time last year....

Media narrative 100% in full effect. I debated even posting this but..

There was a play where GG dunked on Victor. The very next play Victor dunked on GG. Not once did they show the back and forth. Just Victor dunking on GG. Repeatedly. Multiple times. Then GG’s didn’t even make a top 10 plays. Yet somehow Victor’s was high up? Idk about you. But to me. GG dunking on a much taller and longer Victor is more impressive than Victor dunking on GG.

Or maybe I’m just wrong.

You're right on the first half of it, no need to push some narrative about what happened. Hope Ivey gets some help.

Catching a guy sliding over versus going completely through the body was the difference. Yes the Vic clip rang louder mostly due to media but every clip I've seen did include GG's because it's part of the whole "get back" story.

Regardless, Steph's dunk was the most impressive that whole game
