  1. with herro back it’s kel’el ware who’s moved to the bench, meaning the heat are going small with their starting five (norman powell at the 4). their only loss since herro’s return was a three point loss to the (best team in the east?) pistons. it will be interesting to see how this smalller lineup works for them going forward.

  2. as has been laid out, nobody goes out of their way looking to draw fouls like SGA does. nobody. receiving minimal contact and embellishing is one thing, but just putting your head down like you’re christian okoye and trying to draw fouls by ramming into defenders is cheap, it’s not entertaining, and it’s not even basketball. it’s borderline cheating as far as i’m concerned. SGA is the one guy who does this to the degree that he does. end of story.

    this was the first time i really noticed SGA, his freshman/only year at UK. he was so badass. totally took over the game and was the best player on the court. i was such a big fan of his…just like i was at one point with russ and harden. i really wish he would cut this shit out so that i could remove him from that list and just admire his game again. he’s such a badass, it’s so unnecessary for him to pull this crap every time out.

  4. in 10 years kids will look at michael jordan’s stats and say, “deni avdija used to do that every night, who cares?”

    seriously. wtf is happening with the most random players dropping video game numbers every single night? his stat line is only partially explained by his insane 19/22 ft/fta line.

    meanwhile this guy:

    7 rock bottoms, 12 stone cold stunners, 6 RKO’s, and a figure four leg lock and he’s still just running around the pitch as the truncated extra time runs out. 

    i’m sorry for spamming the thread this morning, i just am at my wits end with the officiating in this league and how these officials just completely take over games in ways that are as self contradictory as they are asinine.

  6. also anthony taylor was his usual garbage self. top two teams on the table, london derby, sunday night match, huge game, and what does he do? soft yellow two minutes in. “he’s drawn a line in the sand” says the color commentator. yep. two minutes later another booking. and then another. next thing you know they’re announcing that it’s been more than a year since an official booked this many players this quickly. why the fuck would you EVER officiate a big match like this?

    but wait, there’s more! after establishing that every single minor foul is a booking from the jump, here are the marc cucurella highlights from the game:

    absolute fucking joke. should be the best league in the world yet it’s ruined by inept-corrupt officiating.

  7. watching the match w my mom yesterday, we desperately want a win and all 3 points vs 10-man chelsea, and as we approach the 90th minute we’re speculating as to how much texts time we’ll have for one last push. we figured 6 or 7 added minutes; it was four; less than the 1h. chelsea got a goal kick ~30 seconds in to the extra time and sloooowwwweeed it down, and with +4 instead of +7 we knew that the match was over. i fucking megaloathe that my two favorite sports have such corrupt and inept officiating.

    this post is less about jalen johnson, and more about the fact that it feels like a nightly occurrence to see tweets like this about all sorts of players from all over the league. austin reaves, jalen johnson, kon knueppel, kel’el ware, tyrese maxey, cade cunningham, josh giddey, etc, etc, etc, i could keep going for awhile. does it feel to anyone else like half of the nba is putting up video game numbers every single night? this feels like the steroid era of basketball to me. i don’t recall ever seeing this many players putting up these types of obscene stat lines.

    zach edey tonight: 32 pts, 17 reb, 5 blk. zach edey. you used to have to be hakeem to do that. you used to have to be steph to do what peyton pritchard did tonight. shit is wild, yo.
