@GaelenBet @JonesOnTheNBA Tf are you talking about

@JonesOnTheNBA They are turbo nuking viewership Wait until Steph and LeBron are gone

Will be interesting to see how the NBA manages games not being able to be seen at a lot of public spaces that aren’t set up for Prime streaming. My gym usually has playoff basketball on, but no games were on today because they still have a standard cable feed on their TVs

@_BrianBlakeley @ceewilldotcom Are you asking why we have smoke detectors

@ceewilldotcom I get not having the batteries, but why not just take the smoke detector down? If you take the dead battery out and hold down the test button, it drains the charge and won’t just keep beeping like that lol

My smoke detector battery is dead for the first time in my adult life. I went to change it and turns out it needs a 9v battery. Like…. Okay no wonder the stereotype exists

@jacob_gramegna In my mind it changes when the season is over. They were only five games going the other way from .500. But while the seasons going you’d have to lose ten to get back to .500 & that’s how most people use the phrase

Settle this for me: The Raptors were 46-36... that's 10 games above .500 in my head Who is actually calling that 5?

@DrDeuceDomino @wetjimbo @KendrickPerkins @KyleDraperTV We are telling you he clearly WAS racist. Regardless of how he meant the phrase that day, he wasn’t given the benefit of the doubt bc of how he acted the rest of the time

@wetjimbo @KendrickPerkins @KyleDraperTV I only heard him on league pass I don't really care about the political stuff. He got set up by thinking "All Lives Matter" was the innocent response. I'm not going to get into the debate about the phrase. Just saying that he clearly wasn't intending to be racist

The Kings can’t get anything right!!! @KyleDraperTV is one the best in the business!!!

@autogramblies @mattyglesias It’s how all sports work and I think you should be able to see why. Disagreeing with it on the surface level without understanding the nba is not helping anything and missing sooo much nuance

@mattyglesias I don't follow basketball but it feels very weird to me that talent is handed out inversely to performance. That kind of artificial leveling is going to screw up the incentives something awful, even if I can't tell you what particular form that'll take

The crisis of the NBA regular season is a lot more than “tanking” — the whole thing is constructed to feel low stakes and frustrating because neither home court advantage for contenders nor barely making the playoffs for middling teams is very valuable. slowboring.com/p/the-nbas-pro…

@NBABoards Kings fans shrug

Calling it now. The NBA draft lottery will be as follows. 1. Golden state 2. Atlanta 3. Milwaukee 4. Chicago 5. Sacramento 6. Washington 7. Los Angeles 8. Brooklyn 9. Oklahoma City 10. Memphis 11. Dallas 12. Charlotte 13. Oklahoma City

I really hope the top picks go to the actual worst teams in the league, the Nets and the Kings. Genuinely awful teams. The Jazz just traded for JJJ, they are fake bad. The Wizards added Trae and AD, fake. The Pacers were in the FINALS last year, FOH.

@Fred_Williams4 @gracecamille_ It’s not a random act of kindness it’s a power move on national tv, fuck that

@gracecamille_ Shut up loser. Shaq does random acts of kindness like this often. They missed out on a $50k engagement ring

@Zachbzo7 @gracecamille_ Nothing about that camera shot was random, woefully timed, or unflattering. Must be exhausting being such a hater

@gracecamille_ So weird how a random and woefully timed camera shot at an inconsequential basketball game that caught two of you in an unflattering moment forced all this national attention on you both. Americans love this shit

@lakewoodxlegend @SteveoLMAO @mynameisnoahk @factorX54 The post was saying apple is way better than espn. Espn has all of that “extra shit” as does Real.. nba app is barely useable

@amplifyingx @SteveoLMAO @mynameisnoahk @factorX54 You just asking extra shit now lmao mf get the nba app if you want all that information

this app might legitimately be the greatest thing ever created

@JoshEberley (Your answer to this question should not be four men)

If your Letterboxd top-4 had to be actors rather than films, who would you have in your top-4?

@SteveoLMAO @mynameisnoahk @factorX54 I love apple for checking live scores & lock screen notifications but that’s all it’s good for. I want to be able to click on names to see more. I want injury reports…

@SteveoLMAO @mynameisnoahk @factorX54 Ok now tell me how many points Brooks is averaging per game. Who did the suns play last? Who’s injured right now?

@SteveoLMAO @mynameisnoahk @factorX54 Until you wanna see a stat

@mynameisnoahk @factorX54 Apple sports is way better

@RFreemyer @DamienPetersNBA Thank you!!!

@DamienPetersNBA Winning the NBA Cup should just trump any other tiebreak scenario. Would accomplish the same thing as giving that team an extra win without making the standings look weird.

NBA Rules I would like implemented immediately: - Remove 7th seeds from play-in - Winning the NBA Cup gives you an extra win on the season (no extra loss for the loser) - Introduce an All-NBA Coaches team - 65-game rule transitioned from games to minutes (or reduce games)

@RateGame_Sports @Ekerot57 @DonHarris4 So why are you commenting sarcastically on something you know nothing about

@Ekerot57 @DonHarris4 I did not know that, thank you

This is why those of us who cover Wemby love him. Weighs in on the 65 game rule, asks others their opinion, and does math better than David Robinson or Manu. Seriously.

The Kings are playing the Warriors again tonight, which means Doug Christie has an opportunity to do the funniest thing of the season: foul Draymond intentionally after the ball is tipped. The last time something similar happened, it produced a GIF that still lives to this day.

@johnsemley3000 Family guy/South Park gotta be in the place of all those dots …..

@IamJerm24 @JDAlexander3 @taylorcsnow Hurts my jaw just thinking about it

@JDAlexander3 @taylorcsnow Shit I want one now. Those were the best candy ever. Woke yo game up forreal. 😂

Deuce fighting an absolute battle with this Sour Patch Kid
