They have a ton of self loathing, just no irony in it.

kibner, i want you to tell me what it feels like the first time niko launches a 38-footer for no apparent reason because i need to know what it is like to be alive again

I think it's mostly cause those guys in particular got hurt and started sucking. Although they've started whistling a bunch of stuff they previously would have allowed under "verticality." But teams still want guys like Capela and I'm sure the Clippers won't have any problem unloading DJ.

yeah, i was going to include noah in that as well, although he's an injury casualty. seems to me, though, that there's a lot of big dudes you just can't keep on the floor because they can't guard anyone in small lineups and the rebounding/post-up edge in having a big guy doesn't really seem to matter, especially since those guys had limited offensive skills or are like asik and were born with permanent oven mitts instead of hands

“Nah, whatever happened happened,” Portis said. “We just moved on from the situation. We tried to be professional each and every day. Come in and work, try and make things work on the court, but off the court we never talked or anything. We just kind of stayed away from each other. Played cards one time — it was kind of awkward — but after that didn’t play anymore. Tried to be professional to the utmost.”

what a complete loving failure the bulls' beat reporters are that we have a dude who got his face completely caved by a teammate, the puncher has no remorse, the organization sides with the puncher even though the guy who got punched is a demonstrably better player, and no one knows what the gently caress happened. i demand to know

1. why everyone on the bulls seems to hate niko

big news

quote:

Lauri Markkasesta tuli isä.
Seiska-lehden tietojen mukaan Lauri Markkanen ja hänen vaimonsa Verna Aho saivat tiistaina poikavauvan. Markkanen ei ollut mukana, kun hänen edustamansa Chicago Bulls kohtasi vieraskentällä Portland Trail Blazersin keskiviikkona NBA-koripalloliigassa. Markkaselta on jäänyt viime aikoina väliin myös harjoituksia henkilökohtaisten syiden takia, ja niille saatiin vauvauutisen myötä selitys.

Just the man I expected to answer, and with a very unsatisfyingly boring answer to a stupid question. Thanks (not being sarcastic).

Why 12? Is there a common positional numbering system similar to soccer of which I’m unaware? I’m just forgetting about a superstar that wore 12 and inspired everybody else, aren’t I

Honestly if the Hornets were gonna send anyone to the Cavs I kinda want it to be Dwight because I feel like it'd be the piece to make the Cavalier's locker room into an outright warzone.

dwight at this point is like VI Lenin during WWI with teams trying to send him on sealed trains to foment revolution in their enemies' locker rooms
