no disrepect intended, truly. but:
the concept of okc replacing their only consistent "two on the ball" guy w podz, while keeping the rest of this season's context the same -- which means the same wild shooting variance -- & still winning 50+ games is absolutely *absurd* to me.

@petek0421 @nathanmarzion Same tired bullshit
There isn't a coach in the history of the NBA who could have coached this team of losers to the playoffs
Horst was, is, and will be the problem until he's gone
Bring in any coach you want and it won't make a difference

I still cannot believe the Bucks used 2 extremely important draft picks for the franchise on AJ Johnson and Tyler Smith
English
Not going to put too much stock into Kalshi odds but this isn’t the first post I’ve seen with Ryan so low. Seems insane to me, and I don’t think it’s just my Buck bias. Dude was the 44th pick, a trade throw in, then waived. Went from a 2 way flyer to bonafide starter. 11 PPG jump

Odds to win the NBA’s Most Improved Player: 1. Nickeil Alexander-Walker — 88% 2. Deni Avdija — 6% 3. Jalen Duren — 5% 4. Ryan Rollins — 2% 5. Jalen Johnson — <1% Is the race over?

@Partial_Invalid @burnTelAviv @WorldWideWob You should be able to tell that there was no play shown at all, not that it was the wrong play? Lol
English
@burnTelAviv @WorldWideWob I'm not sure how I'm supposed to know that. I don't follow either of these teams and I'm not going to spend time looking through game footage 🤷♂️

As of the time of this posting, the tweet below has 1.4M views.
The two sets of free throws shown were the result of:
1) Christie wanting to stop play so he could call his use-it-or-lose-it timeout before time dropped below 3 mins.
2) Cardwell fouling Seth during a live rebound, and the Warriors being in the bonus.
McDermott, the same guy who gave the foul after being instructed, made a 3 the very next possession from a set play Christie drew up.

We have NEVER seen this level of tanking bruh Doug Christie literally instructed his players on the Kings TO FOUL SETH CURRY ON PURPOSE while up 101-100 in the 4th quarter INSANE 😭💀

Six tweets from Shams about the Giannis investigation in the last 24 hours
Last tweet about the Clippers investigation:
September 3rd
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
An NBA spokesperson in response to its Milwaukee Bucks-Giannis Antetokounmpo investigation: “The NBA’s Player Participation Policy investigation into the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo is ongoing and certain facts remain in dispute. The investigation has found that the Bucks scheduled Giannis to work out last week in three-on-three scrimmages as part of his return-to-play process, but he declined to participate. There is a disagreement as to whether the team requested that Giannis participate in a group workout earlier this week, and the league is continuing to monitor the situation.”
English
@Tfence92 The NBA can (and probably already has) requested any official documents from the DOJ about the testimonies from individuals involving Ballmer and the Clippers. Whether the DOJ will grant them access, who knows. But no one is contacting 3rd and 4th parties about Giannis lol
English
English
@WiSports22 @TonyCMKE @ohnohedidnt24 Clearly you don’t understand that things like the Milwaukee/Giannis investigation being done INTERNALLY by the NBA and the Kawhi/Aspiration stuff is being handled by a third party and has 1000s of people involved + the DOJ. Outing yourself as unable to contextualize anything.

@michaeljduarte Dwade didn't throw him a lob, so he didn't have to look back and make sure it wasn't too high lol
English
Austin Reaves had an opportunity to recreate this iconic shot of D-Wade throwing a lob to LeBron James and walking off the court, arms out-stretched, last night, but instead he looked back to make sure the pass "wasn't too high."
So close...

@lohausfan if they would opt out and resign here, would the numbers be the same as with the new team?
English
@RyanLucas_LA @lohausfan Not sure what this has to do with Shams being a loser?
English
Two things can be true: there is agentspeak as there always is with Shams, but there is definitely no love lost between Shams and the Bucks.
Ryan Lucas@RyanLucas_LA
it has absolutely nothing to do with how shams "cares" about the bucks... shams could care less. the phrasing is the agent being pissed at horst for telling him/his client that he was going to be a "key piece of a playoff push and doc hyped him up to be the next jamal crawford/lou williams...both of whom he coached before..." its the agent asking shams to tell it like it is, from their point of view. the agent is pissed and maybe rightfully so 🤣🤷♂️

Bucks coach Doc Rivers, on how to try to keep things positive for the team with a couple losses with big margins in the last week:
Eric Nehm@eric_nehm
With the loss, the Bucks are now guaranteed to have their first losing season since the 2015-16 season. Doc Rivers, as a coach, has not had a full-season losing record since the 2006-07 season. Rivers, when asked about the disappointment of being locked into a losing season:
English
@RyanLucas_LA @lohausfan Couldn't possibly imagine what that reason could be, eh?

Giannis and the Bucks made it a point this season—for whatever reason—to try and embarrass Shams. But at the end of the day, Shams is just doing his job. ESPN pays him to be accurate and plugged in, and that’s exactly what he’s been.
It’s not on Shams that Giannis and his camp spent months behind the scenes exploring options while publicly avoiding that reality. He reported what pretty much everyone around the league was already hearing.
The whole deadline/Kalshi optics move was interesting, but it didn’t exactly help their leverage. If anything, it turned some teams off—which is why you’re now starting to hear more “is he worth the asking price?” narratives popping up.
Now it feels like the stage is being set for something more grounded:
Lakers: picks + cap flexibility
Knicks: KAT + a couple of swaps
At a high level, it’s pretty simple:
Giannis wants to compete
The organization is thinking long-term assets
And ultimately, this all comes down to positioning.
He wants to come out of this looking like the good guy—which, honestly, has been the play since the summer when Shams first reported on all of it.

@SandyofCthulhu Amazing how you can't go an hour without thinking about your daddy Trump lol the post had nothing to do with him at all
English
Did you know that the embargo from the US means that Cuba isn't allowed to trade with ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?! You'd think it would be only America, and that the EU or China or Japan or Russia would love the cancer vaccine. But nope.
My British friend who went to Cuba on holiday 10 years in a row was amazed when he learned that he wasn't allowed to visit. The blame is Donald Trump's of course, because my British friend started vacations to Cuba in 2002, and Trump was a living person then.

They also have a perpetual motion machine, a cold fusion reactor, and solar panels that generate the same amount of energy at night. But those imperialist running dogs just won't let the rest of the world have access to this incredible communist technology!

From a team source: sounds like the Bucks will waive Andre Jackson Jr. early next week in order to convert Pete Nance to a standard contract. Nance has two games left on his two-way deal; he's been active for 48 games and seen the floor in 36. Milwaukee has 13 games remaining.

Majority of Americans support the strikes in Iran per @politico, led by an overwhelming majority of Trump supporters.

@WiscoGrant Imagine shilling for a coach and then saying he has no ability to draw up a single play
English
i'm sorry did you want the ball taken out of Nick Boyd's hands so Nolan Winter could clank a 3 off the heel
Paul Mills@Pwmizzle
@WiscoGrant C'mon. There was absolutely no ball movement at the end of the game for Wisconsin. Just hero ball going one on 5. A disaster.
English
John Blackwell is making how in NIL much to drop an inbounds pass and you guys wanna whine about the coach because it makes you feel better
Paul Mills@Pwmizzle
@WiscoGrant Helluva choke job by the badgers in general and Gard in particular. The last 5 possessions were terrible. And what exactly TF was that last throw in? Christian Laetner does not play for this team. Lord help us.

@SandyofCthulhu If humans died, the planet would flourish, so no they probably aren't the most important...
English
If something is important because it's "essential to human life" then isn't human life the most important?
Also while I love bees, there are other pollinators.
All day Astronomy@forallcurious
🚨: Bees are officially declared the most important living species on the planet, essential to human life.

@tjgreisch Each team gets that amount. That’s not the issue. The issue is what each team can generate outside of what the league provides.

Many scoffed when Ed Policy said his #1 priority was to keep the Packers in Green Bay.
It’s an exceptionally difficult task to pull off as the team faces a constant uphill battle financially. Lots of work has been done to build up Titletown to stay competitive with additional revenue sources, but their “rainy day fund” is a tiny drop of water in Lake Michigan compared to what other teams have available.
Staying financially competitive and viable is job number 1 indeed, and they are probably going to have to do some unpopular things like stadium naming rights to stay in the game.
