Anyways I watched the 198... 3? Finals game yesterday between lal and 76rs and holy poo poo I guess I’ve never actually seen magic johnson play he was just loving mesmerizing like a goddamn tornado of ball-handling. He made me question if they played on a smaller court back then. Like I literally put that poo poo into google. Dude was beautiful.



I feel like the game was half as fast for him as it was for almost anyone else

They'll be reporting in Orlando next week but no games until the end of July, I think. Supposedly a schedule might get released today.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
They will have scrimmages in Orlando but who knows if they will be televised. Probably not if I had to guess?

I would guess it'll be like training camp and its unusual (though not unheard of) to broadcast those. Maybe as it gets closer as teasers but I'm guessing the teams will want time to get back into the swing of things. I also don't know what the quaratine schedule looks like for film crews.

A bunch of the guys probably had it and already had run its course, the protests started almost a month ago. I think this was just active virus, not anti-body.

I think at a certain point it just boils down to if the bubble is secure or not and so I dont see any spike in numbers in Florida or even Orlando leading them to abort until they try it out and find an internal outbreak.

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.

Twyman doesn't point it out, but Greer took a significant # of his jumpers from that spot at the top of the key. He wasn't just practicing his jumper, he was practicing his signature shot.

You can jump straight up and down, but you can't leave the designated shooting area, i.e. go over the line because Wilt was dunking his free throws.

Is it legal to dunk free throws if you take off from behind the line? Because if not it should be, immediately.

Yes, absolutely. Especially if Kevin Durant is able to play.

Mitchell, Gobert, Smart, Jokic, Brogdon is a good lineup. No idea who plays the 3.

If the team with the eighth-best combined winning percentage in a conference (Team 8) is four games or fewer ahead of the team with the ninth-best combined winning percentage in the same conference (Team 9), then those two teams would compete in a play-in tournament to determine the eighth playoff seed in the conference. The play-in tournament will be double elimination for Team 8 and single elimination for Team 9.

Weird.

My friend sent me a video of this livestream he was doing during that 2017 WCF warriors spurs kawhi injury game at my house, he wasnt watching (hockey fan), just making tex mex, but you can hear me watching the game in the background and just getting progressively shoutier, louder, and more obscene
I still remember leaving during halftime to get champagne...so i guess im apologizing to the spurs familia and basketball gods rn

Yeah dude was unbelievable. I'm just about to turn 50 and am so glad i grew up during the best days of the NBA. And it's still the best league,best athletes, best drama. My one gripe in the last 20 years, Lebron should have been Magic 2.0. The guy had all the tools but was groomed from day 1 to be the guy on some amazingly bad Cavs teams. Imagine if the Cavs had gotten a few talented scorers or athletes. When he got there the second time it was too late.He will still go down as one of the best big man passers but nothing like he should have been.
