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.

Owners putting the kibosh on expansion.

Ernie cracked me up the most on last night's halftime show, laying a blanket over Shaq as he's blocking Kenny from getting to the video screen.

Pau on the Spurs feels like it should've happened years ago (too bad he's been outplayed by Dedmon and Lee so far).

My favorite Ernie moment is this one time when Shaq was like, "I come from Newark, the school of hard knocks. The one and only, Brick City"

And Ernie's like, "Shaq we aren't talking about your free throws right now."

I liked the time Isiah Thomas said the words "New York is not for everybody" and Ernie started laughing really hard at him and Isiah asked "Why you laugh"

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

From what I understand the current CBA just opens up the possibility of expansion, not the actual process of expansion. It apparently isn't possible to expand even if they wanted to.

Until it becomes profitable to expand.

And it will if ratings continue to decrease and Fox Sports continues to lowball TV deals.

it was "supposed to happen" (could have happened) like 3 or 4 years ago, but pau decided to go to chicago because he recognized southern texas for the cultural wasteland that it is. it was a terribly stupid basketball decision that saw him waste the last few quality years he had left in him, but i can see why he thought it might have been an ok one. back then he was coming off some championships with the Lakers, the Bulls hadn't quite turned into the dumpster fire they've become, he probably figured the east was easier to make his mark, and he was coming out of LA where being a pretentious douche was a good thing. now he's finally in San Antonio, but we'll never get to see the glory that could have been a Timmy and Pau front court. that could have been awesome. or a disaster. who knows?

edit: last night's game was a perfect example of how much SA misses Danny Green right now. his defense is great and his offense meshes much better with the starters than Kyle Anderson's (note: kyle's defense is really good too). if we can get a decent 3pt shooting Danny Green back into that starting unit it will solve a lot of its offensive woes.

I'm more confused by all the empty seats. I thought the Warriors especially now with KD would be one of those sellout teams that every fan of a random team would want tickets to for a chance to catch them. Shouldn't this be one of the most packed pelicans games?

It's going against a pretty big world series game and they don't sell a ton of tickets anyway.

It's pretty packed. From my seat at the start of the fourth, it looks about 95% full.

I get it through my cable subscription and it's amaaaaaazing! Canadian so Raptors games are blacked out (but I get those sports channels anyways).

The actual service on pc / ps4 is kinda poo poo though.
