feels like there has been an exponential increase in performative post game workouts in the covid era, someone get Hollinger to do something useful with his time and investigate this instead of getting mad every time a player gets a raise.

D'lo has been doing this (getting shots up in an empty arena) after pretty much every game and if I roll my eyes any harder at it I'm gonna go blind.

From The Athletic:

Postgame propaganda

Postgame shooting in the arena isn’t a new thing in the NBA. While we may not remember an instance of a tough loss followed by our favorite team or player heading back to the court to get some work in, it happens. It happens a lot. But it often happens in a manner that isn’t so publicized. In the first two weeks of the season, that isn’t the case at all. We’ve had at least three cases early in which we’re getting social media posts about players going back to work on some things with a lingering media audience.

In a way, it’s kind of brilliant propaganda and marketing. Fans eat it up. Media covering the team eat it up. And it often distracts from a recent failure to smooth over a tough night, intentional or not. It makes sense for it to happen more this season. With the pandemic and certain restrictions, the players can’t just finish the game, go get dressed and head out for a night on the town. But we need to make sure those shots are filmed and people know they work on their game even after the game is over.
It's a lot more than three cases now.

According to the gossip columns, TJ Mconnell has a micropenis. It fits with his far below average hand size. I feel bad for him but you can't say he's not living life to its fullest.

people are overrating pritchard because the reaction to him getting drafted was so harsh and it turns out he is probably an okay bench guard. they still should have drafted bane

also celtics fans love him for being a white guy and/or because he used to have a funny twitter handle (FastPP).

Spurs need another one year tank job, but I guess they'll be pretty bad anyway and with how lottery odds are now they'll be in the running regardless

A TJ 3 point play is driving on a layup, then stealing the inbounds pass and making a 2nd layup.

It's worth 4, that's just advanced stats

Prime delly was a defensive guard that basically could only throw lobs, make floaters, or hit open 3s off LeBron passes.

Also he chugged coffee before every game
