@OnlyFaxxs @JamCristopher Explain one thing that I said that is inaccurate.

Really was like no u can’t drink at this water fountain because of the color of your skin 😂 thankful for those who fought for all of humanity.
On God when I was younger I used to think there had to be more to it than just skin color but nah, ppl just get stupid w/race.

Kyrie Irving calls out racism as the dumbest thing ever 👀

@jdwkarasu Creeping on your old tweets was worth it just for this one 😂

@jdwkarasu @LawMurrayTheNU I'm just here to geek out over the Kawada profile pic!

@LawMurrayTheNU 2/x
I don't disagree that they would like to win both to clinch, taking pressure off the last two games.
English

It is unlikely that happens. They’re reporting just Williams, who they would likely play if it wasn’t a back to back. They need the wins over both the Lakers and Clippers so that they have homecourt throughout
John D. Williams@jdwkarasu
@LawMurrayTheNU Likely others OKC players will sit the front end of the back-to-back.

@LawMurrayTheNU They made 17 more threes than their opponent and still lost by 16 points.
English

@FlyByKnite It's pretty crazy that the Grizzlies made 17 more 3s (and shot 49% on them!) and still lost by 16, is that the biggest losing margin for a team that was +17 in 3PM? I guess CLE +7 FGM, +2 2nd chance made and +19 FTM made up for it?

@DJRTistic Lol! Also I'm the guy that hit you up right as you were wraping up outside, thanks for taking the time to talk a bit!

@owaddled Lmaooo I don’t think I’ve ever once played Informer before!

@CW_Chambers @dommiecito @khrisody Heck Amin himself had no real defense of reading that email out of context when I called him on it

Chillin in my Bacta@DarthAmin
I would argue we have about eight episodes of context, plus Joe’s own legal track record. But thank you for your admiration.
English

@CW_Chambers @dommiecito @khrisody There were hints that the ethics were wrong to anyone with eyes on episode 1 at 59:03 when Amin reads Joe Sanberg's email about a sweetner out of context. Their own video editors show the parts he's skipping.

I’m not going to criticize Pablo Torre for bringing the story to light—by most accounts, there were legitimate questions that needed answers.
But the way he handled the reporting, and especially the tone he took toward the people involved, pushed it into a strange space.
Once the Clippers declined to comment, he either refused—or at least appeared unwilling—to seriously engage with alternative explanations. The framing became: “the Clippers did this, here’s how,” and anyone questioning that was dismissed as a Steve Ballmer loyalist. We saw a similar reaction when Mark Cuban pushed back—he was met with immediate criticism rather than real engagement.
There was also a broader tone throughout the reporting that felt off. The way billionaires were discussed—this assumption that they’ll do anything to win, disregard rules, operate without limits—came across as more ideological than analytical. It lacked nuance and, at times, coherence.
But the strangest part is how the spotlight was placed. Based on Torre’s rhetoric, Ballmer was treated as the central figure, when the focus arguably should have been on Joe Sandberg and his role within Aspiration.
English

@dommiecito @CW_Chambers @khrisody His reporting sometimes leaves out context. He made a big deal out of Ballmer dontaring to the Golden State Opportunity foundation but left out that their website clearly distances themselves from Sanberg before Ballmer's donation.
English

@CW_Chambers @owaddled @khrisody there’s nothing wrong with his reporting but there is also no concrete proof of ANYTHING. when other journalist (who aren’t married to this story like pablo is) look into it, the holes really start to show. just read that new espn article that says the kawhi contract is standard
English

@CW_Chambers @dommiecito @khrisody Journalist 3: Baxter Holmes swiss cheeses Samson's "expert" contract analysis. Pablo made a big deal about the beliefs clause but after Andrei Cherny said it was standard for their celebrity deals, Pablo has never pushed back

@CW_Chambers @dommiecito @khrisody Journalist 2: John Karalis the day after episode 1 gets a quote from Aspiration sources pushing back on the "no show job" characterization by Pablo.

@dommiecito @CW_Chambers @khrisody Exactly. Every time a real journalist like Mike Vorkunov or Baxter Holmes releases an article on the story Pablo's sensationalist "isn't this weird" claims take a hit.
English

@CW_Chambers @khrisody the research wasn’t impeccable. it was mostly pulling up documents and hinting at foul play. drawing imaginary lines through investments. the truth is there was NEVER any solid evidence of salary cap circumvention. there was contracts and “👀 look at this, this is weird right?”
English

@LawMurrayTheNU Thank you Law. Will someone write a "he should have stopped before 51" think piece?
English

@ctopherd @LawMurrayTheNU 47% of a record breaking point total coming after the game is decided is even crazier

@LAClippersFilm Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but what's the appeal of the Essentials stuff? They look nice but not like...extraordinary?
English

@Blogless1380 @LawMurrayTheNU I'd like to see it too, wonder what the furthest distance guys had to close out to a shooter was. I'm doubtful it was 22 feet.
English

@LawMurrayTheNU It looked like a faster pace going by shots per game but the offenses were more condensed, less off ball movement , rotations shorter. I would love to see tracking data of 84 championship
English

Basketball players who got hurt in the 60s and 80s were disappeared
And there wasn’t nearly the same number of players getting to and past Year 15
And there wasn’t any social media asking why certain players just fell off lol
SaveYourSelfBlackMan@NoMoreMatrix
@mdotbrown The 60s and 80s had an even faster pace than this era. Why weren't they dealing with these injuries? I personally think these guys come in half dead from being ran into the ground in AAU
