Warriors rolling out new splash bros lineup tonight.

Schroeder
Moody
Hield
Wiggins
Jackson-Davis

Feel sorry for the tech bros who payed $1000 for tickets.

And yet they won but they were playing against a lineup of:

Drew Eubanks

Brice Sensabaugh

Micah Potter

Collin Sexton

Isaiah Collier

NBA action, it's fantastic.  However, Kyle Flipowski with 10 points off the bench so his groomer wife might be feeling a little better about her investment.

Do Spurs fans want him as Wembys sidekick? 

I think his stats and efficiency will bounce back on a new team with a better environment. The Spurs always seem to get more out of their guys, I think going from Sac to SA would be a huge help to him.

Our good friend Rich Paul doing his best to sabotage the nba saying Fox wants to goto SA and would be reluctant to sign anywhere else when his deal is up.

I wonder if Curry, Fox’s alleged mentor, can stick his foot in the door? The Warriors probably don’t make the playoffs without Fox, and they really have no hope for the future beyond this Hail Mary.

Ugghhhh, the issue isn't the length of games, it's the length of the season. Most of your own damn players don't care enough to try and play more than 72 games a season, because they get bored or feel it's somewhat irrelevant.

Yeah…. Shorten game by 16%? Or shorten the season by 16% instead. Already too damn long

Shortening games saves money. Shortening the season loses money.

Guess which one billionaires are going to pick?

1000% this.   Giving up games is NEVER going to be an option.   It shouldnt be anyway but its never going to happen.

Isaiah Stewart gets ejected for cross checking Thomas Bryant to the floor during a box out and then appears to challenge the whole Pacers team to meet him in the tunnel on the way out. 😂

The epitome of bitchassness.

I watched most of that game, I'm getting Ron Artest and Ben Wallace vibes. Those two teams really don't like each other at all. Tyrese was talking crazy shit and backing it up. He did Malik Beasley's little shuffle celebration after hitting the dagger. Cade got Td up, Bickerstaff got Td up and Myles Turner got Td up late for pushing Beasley. Also I forgot that the Pacers have James Johnson on their roster. Beef Stew is hilarious but may want to tread lightly with Mr. Johnson. I'm going to try to remember to watch next time these teams play.

I find it amusing Silver was characterizing a 40 minute game as the natural fit for 2 hr TV windows. Its fucking rare that college games arent blowing through the 2 hr allocation these days, as they are jampacked with ads. I have no reason to think NBA broadcasts would be any different. You know they dont want to lose too many ad sales. Would they go to 5 fouls? It would fundamentally change the sport in a way that seems excessive because you want to better fit in a 2 hr window. Figure out a way to play a 48 minute game in 2 hrs.

If they truly wanted to speed up the game, you would centralize all reviews or have a 4th official whose job is solely to do reviews.  No more huddling up, then go to the monitor, then huddle up again, then announce the call

Every sport should have a ref in the press box looking at monitors. They can radio down to a ref on the field/court immediately to confirm/overturn a call.

something that may only be interesting to me, but when i realized that 4 players from the 2021 draft have now made an all star team, i decided to look at that compared to other recent and semi-recent drafts and it looks like you can consistenlty count upon 4-6 players per draft becoming all stars:  

2021 - 4 all stars

2020 - 4 all stars

2019 - 4 all stars

2018 - 5 all stars

2017 - 6 all stars

2016 - 6 all stars

2015 - 4 all stars

2014 - 5 all stars

if victor wembanyama didn’t exist then everyone would be talking about what a defensive freak amen thompson is. god he’s fun to watch. and his shot is looking good. if/when he gets a consistent jumper he’s an absolute star.

Hold me now. I really love watching the Thompson twins. I wish Ausar shot it even half as well as identical bro. Ausar does some crazy, instinctual stuff on the defensive end. When they put Ausar and Ron Holland in together it's menacing on one the of the floor.

Ruocco and Doris are my fave announcer duo

ruocco cant call a Joker highlight without calling him a MAGICIAN, THE MAGIC OF JOKIC

 

Jokic isn't gonna last to the playoffs. Hes a fucking cone on defense that offers little to no rim protection.  like he cant even be bothered to put up an arm and contest a shot

The two dunks from the screenshot are crazy.  They werent even looking at the rim.

 

Best part about that contest was no Kenny Smith there saying how he had seen every dunk before.

he’s actually been pretty damn good defensively the last two years, but this year his offensive load and lack of help isn’t going to lead to him being a great defender.

he looks very bad on defense, help or no help.  some dude went around him because he stopped playing D after thinking the ref would blow the whisle for traveling 

 

Yabusele is 11-13 4-6 from 3, 26 points

Philly looked pretty good with Yabusele instead of Embiid tonight, and PG was out too. Yabu had an odd career of playing for the Celtics for a couple years, then going back to France for several years.  Philly brought him over this offseason and signed him for a 1 year 2m deal. He looks like he can hold his own and be a productive Center, just needs to work on the defense more. Seems like a steal for that price, but unfortunately he's going to cost a bit more in free agency next year. I wonder if he gets traded this week so they can convert his value into future picks.  

I also gotta wonder if Philly is trying to backchannel a trade of Embiid somewhere. He's got the 6th most expensive salary in the league this year, and it's only going up from here.  That contract is approaching Beal or Zion territory of shittyness if he can't play. The most important ability is availability, and he just never seems to have it.  With McCain looking as good as he did for the beginning of the season, you have to wonder how good this team could be with a starting 5 of Maxey/McCain/PG/?/? and whatever players you can get with Embiid's contract/cap space.
