I was able to get a NBATopShot magic blockchain video clip. Should I sell this immediately before people realize it’s worthless, or what?

There’s a Top Shot thread now - you can ask in there. Too lazy to link it.

Sorry to mention Top Shot again but it's kinda relevant: they had Gobert on today opening a pack, and he was wearing an NBA Jam shirt with the Jazz team on it lol

Ok so I've been getting back into card collecting and the last pack instead of a basketball player it had a 1500 Panini Rewards point card? Seems like you can redeem them for cards on their website, but the selection seems pretty wack. Any ideas what I should get?

https://www.paniniamerica.net/rewards.html?sport_name=148--BASKETBALL&p=1

There's a Bam card for 30,000 points and the rest are hundreds of different Kyle Anderson cards and a bunch of players that sound made up by an AI program: Jerian Grant, Cameron Bairstow, Marcin Gortat, Timofey Mozgov, Sindarius Thornwell.

Hey Zogo I remember last season you posted some stats about how much championship teams had played together, which seemed to be one of the main reasons the Clipper flamed out since the main lineup only played like 13 games together.

How's it looking for this season? I'm guessing the Jazz are at the top.

Kinda? Hard to win when the other team shoots 65%.

Still 4th seed tho. They must have a long break coming up cause seems like they've played way more games than everyone else.

They're a good team but kinda in a conventional way and not very exciting. Also most of the playoff teams got better from last year and they got a little worse, not a good place to be in.

I agree that they aren't very exciting to watch, but now that PG is healthy and Kawhi is playing back-to-backs it's meant more sick dunks. And I think Ibaka is actually an improvement over Harrell cause he spaces the floor - it's part of the reason they're shooting so well from 3.

Not so sure about most other playoff teams getting better. The Jazz, Nets and 76ers totally, maybe Lakers too?

The Suns are unironically better than the Clippers

Like some of these Clippers losses earlier in the season kinda made me think they were just flukey and maybe the Clips would flip the switch but uh

Yes I agree, sigh. They really turned their defense on against the Mavs in the last game, but for whatever reason they just can't be hosed most of the time. Zu has been great but they really miss PatBev.

The clippers selling the farm to get Kawhi and Pau George, but forgetting to find an adequate pnr pg is a good life lesson for NBA gms. You need the whole starting lineup. And Reggie Jackson sucks

If PatBev was healthy, they'd be just fine. Currently, he is not, and maybe never will be again for any extended period of time. It's the downside of going with a veteran (old) team.

Maybe the Clippers should have stuck with Kawhi and Shai that would have been fun.

Haha I actually turned off the Clippers v Hawks game in disgust at half time and spent the next few hours cursing their names and then much later check the final score wow.

I think the Clippers shot 80%+ in the final quarter. Good on Lue for kicking out the starters and handing the keys over to the bench. Nards didn’t miss a shot and looked like he was about to have a heart attack. They went from up 10 to down 22 to win by 9. Bananas.

Sorry not sorry I’m enjoying watching the Lakers tumble down the standings. This will of course backfire when we have to face them in round 1 of the playoffs.

This is going well so far

I think it's really interesting how much better some players can play on different teams. I wouldn't be surprised if all the 'washed' players that were just traded/bought out suddenly start having better seasons than they've had in years.
