it's all fine and good to crack fun and make jokes. we do that shit all the time ourselves. but if you're going to be a fucking goofball, do it all the through, don't act like you're making jokes only to try to make serious point. we don't respect that nonsense.

"first of all, it does feel like the lakers play almost all their games at home...the only nba team that played 74 games at home, and 6 on the road."
lakers are tied for the 4th most road wins and have the 4th best road winning percentage in the league.
Herd w/Colin Cowherd@TheHerd
"If they play the Rockets, that 15-2 is going to feel pure & truthful. If they play Minnesota, that 15-2 in March could feel like fool's gold!" @colincowherd thinks the Lakers championship hopes depend on who they see in the postseason

Happy Passover, Chag Pesach Sameach, and a Zissen un Koshern Pesach!

@BinkleyHoops Last time I saw a fan base get as riled up in the comments by coaching moves was when Darvin Ham was on his way out of LA. For what it’s worth.

@0xdasha This is just wrong. The chametz is validly sold, there are no details left to iron out, and the purchaser could come to your home and take possession of it if they wanted to. In the selling form, you have to designate exactly where it is so that they can find it.
English
fun fact: jewish law forbids owning chametz (bread etc) during passover
to comply, most jews authorize a rabbi to sell all their chametz to a non-jew in a real, binding legal contract, but time is given to discuss the price
as soon as passover ends, the transaction is canceled ✨

He also just said that he regretted selling the team to the current owner... So why would that ownership take anything he says seriously? Whatever he is trying is going to backfire. Remember the weird story a couple months ago that he was trying to buy the team back? It’s been a strange arc he has travelled. Not so beneficial imo.

@1053SS Cuban is putting his thumb on the scale to help Finley get the GM position instead of Kidd. A lot of Luka fans believe Finley was in on the Luka trade, especially given Nico/Finley’s interaction with Luka after the WCFs.

Now some follow ups:
Why is Cuban choosing now to detonate Kidd?
Are the 2 vying for same FO spot?
Does this change anything for you re Jason or you already assumed he was behind it?
If Nico got run, why shouldn’t Kidd?
Will the crowd react during next home game Friday night?
Shan Shariff@1053SS
Remember when Kidd told us “I know that the F I’m doing” Cuban confirms Jason was also behind Luka trade

@MavsFilmRoom His media tour makes me think substantially less of him.
English
I think Cuban knows he’s going to be reduced to a 7% shareholder sooner than later so he is just speaking his mind now, saying he regrets selling to the Adelsons and calling out Jason Kidd for the Luka trade. Sigh.

if Ant had said that, he wouldn’t have been waived
which makes me wonder…
who is the WORST player who could get away with saying that being gay is a sin and the NBA shouldn’t celebrate Pride Month

The Chicago Bulls are waiving guard Jaden Ivey after his recent anti-LGBTQ comments amid several rants on religion and other topics, sources tell ESPN.

Anybody who speculates with any degree of confidence about what LeBron will or will not do next season is full of it. However, with confidence, I will speculate that there’s no way in HELL LeBron plays for the Clippers
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
People around the league think LeBron could sign with the Clippers if Kawhi Leonard’s contract gets voided, per @espn “Several team personnel around the league speculated that if the NBA's investigation into Kawhi Leonard's Aspiration endorsement deal ended up with Leonard's contract being voided as a punishment, James could sign with the Clippers for more than the Lakers would offer him.” (Via espn.com/nba/)

@OptimisticKnick @NBAAUCTIONS The Dunk Contest should be the marquee event of the Weekend.
The item worn by the winner should not sell for $1,200.

Embarassing result tonight @NBAAUCTIONS for the jersey worn by the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Champion.
It sold for $1,280.

@DOC323123 That is an awful trade for Houston. I would not do this trade if I were them.

Given how disjointed the Lakers season has been, with a roster constantly in flux due to injury and general lack of playing time together, and the pressure involved at all times with this particular job - there should be far more Coach of the Year consideration for JJ Redick

@hmfaigen @damanr There's also a corollary with Reaves, where the place you came from (undrafted/podcasting) comes to define how people look at you (unathletic role player/in over your head coach) no matter the result (all star level/B2B 50 win seasons). JJ, like Austin, will overcome the stigma!

Strands of Abraham Lincoln’s hair were collected from his head after his death and given to his widow Mary Todd Lincoln. She then gave them to friends.
These three strands were given to Dr. Charles Taft and it was bought at auction in 1914 for $330.
It sold today for $9,375.
