I think we did a "rank the world leaders by hooping ability" once, but here's a new contender for last place.

If they called continuation like they do during the rest of the game and actually made you foul rather than brush them with your hand while holding the other one up it'd be fine. Like most of these things the right answer is "follow your own, existing rules."

i'm fine with take fouls. 2 and the ball seems like a rookie mistake magnet. i think my bigger pet peeve is players getting dragged down/bearhugged in the paint on clear path style defensive breakdowns.

i wonder if fans would be fine with 20 fouls before the bonus for the entire game

I am not sure how much take fouls actually are what are slowing down teams from running. I think it's that teams are really disciplined in getting back on defense.

Really depends on the team. It’s literally the Hornets’ number one option on the break

I always had a feeling that he was unvaccinated. I remember earlier in the season he was put on the Covid list twice in a very short span. He also tweeted some Elon Musk thing about red and blue pills which is unrelated but not really. Either way I hope that he gets vaccinated or else the sixers have to rely on Danny green and Danny green only to be their best and only wing defender.

Kind of hilarious that the Suns rested most of their starters against Memphis and OKC, brought everyone in just to make sure they put a beatdown on the Lakers, then went right back to load management.

I feel like if we had a all hoop team and a all baller team the hoop team would restrict everyone to very specific 1-5 position and the allball team would just allow whoever.

no, it's actually just more fuel for my hate watching. and I'm kinda out on Matisse, except as a situational defender in very limited minutes - like the game he just clinched against Cleveland with the steal on the inbounds

also Embiid said he doesn't believe in crypto and that's why he's the MVP

This is the worst schedule season. No pacific time Wednesday night game but the one on ESPN (almost all blowouts because they are either Lakers or Clippers [who at least do the blowing out sometimes]), limited games on Thursday (at least one blowout because they usually are Nets, Lakers or Jazz games) to not compete with TNT. Few games on Monday and Sunday to avoid NFL, a million games all on Tuesday and Saturday or east coast Wednesday. I hate they removed all the choice.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

It would be really funny if the Warriors’ failure down the stretch and the Mavs’ success led to the Mavs overtaking the Warriors to earn the 3 seed, but then saw them rewarded by having to play the streaking Timberwolves (who could still sneak into the 6th) rather than the uninspiring Jazz
