Yang gets a tweet of the year nomination.
 
WTF!?!?! is that real? that can't be possible!!!

My reaction exactly. I’ve looked at the thing multiple times and I don’t see how it can be fake without some extensive use of studio level CGI. Different balls. Slightly different flight paths.
 
Okay, so how is this even remotely possible? Curry is insane:

Same video, different angle, posted to Youtube 12/5/22.



Curry apparently said at the time that it was fake.

we don't know behind the scenes shenanigans. Ayton arguing with the coaches and teammates made viral videos on a few occasions. Once in particular Ayton & Bridges began chirping at the FT line after a missed assignment.

Moving Bridges for Durant isn't a bad move. The iffy moment was clearing the deck for an atrocious Bradley Beal contract.

Only time will tell if the Suns story has a happy ending. They already fired their Coach after 1 season. That's an "uh oh" start to the first chapter.

If Phoenix wanted to create a crazy drama, they're off to a good start. Remember when their "new" owner got into a jump ball skirmish in the front row with Jokic? Like... wtf was that ?!? "I bought this team, it's my money. I want to play the game."

(*.. get that owner a VIP box away from the court if he's going to jock out, and physically try to influence the game.)

PHX overall record wasn't bad, but it was clear as day the team lacked depth after overspending for a Big 3. With 2 of whom share the same SG position. The team doesn't have a true point guard. If they do bring in a point, the lineup will become small ball in a world where the NBA is getting bigger.

The most expensive team in NBA history better bring the ruckus... otherwise the Suns will become Troll snacks for every NBA fan that needs a good laugh.
Their record wasn’t that bad? They were 64-18. Who cares if there is chirping? And trading Bridges for a guy drafted in 2007 was stupid even if that guy was KD.
 
I'd love to watch that, but there is no way I could stomach it with Lebron being in it. So I wont be watching.
As a fan of the game of basketball, that is kinda 6th grade type shit. Like or not you need to respect greatness..... you do with ME. Also this from a guy that will actually watch OSU football games? Makes no sense FAMS!

Not a LeBron fan?

I definitely appreciate his greatness. Without a doubt one of the greatest of all time. But the guy annoys the crap out of me. His ego, the excessive flopping, constant crying to the refs, etc etc.
And this isn't his fault, but the way the media thinks everything he does or says is newsworthy drives me nuts too.

Almost as if you are describing EVERY SINGLE NBA STAR EVER including my guy Dame. HA!
 
there's a couple rumors about Cavs trading Isaac Okoro. 6'6" 3&D wing. He's an RFA with 11.5m left. I guess he choked in the playoffs, so grumpy Cavs fans want to send him to the Pistons, Hornets, Blazers?? He's much too expensive for Cronin's budget.

I’m going to say this, and I’m quite sure it won’t be the last time this season…..but let’s PLEASE all remember this seasons mission.

Cronin's multi-layered tanking is confusing Blazer fans. Bring in Avdija, Clingan, then lower expectations?? It sounds like prepping a 2 way narrative.

If the Blazers improve even slightly, the Front Office will look impeccable. Sign Coach Billups to an extension.

If the Blazers crumble and everyone quits playing hard by January ... bring on the ping pong percentages!! The Front Office is soo smart, and Billups will get his "great with development" extension.

If we play all the young guys as many minutes as possible we're going to lose a lot of games.

We should definitely be doing that.

We have proven vets who can help teams win 40 games... Those guys need to not play.

Just an observation, Shaedon not active on IG. At least he nost posted recenrly. Saw him like Dame's recent posts though.

One of his recent posts' caption from last Spring is "Let me remind you,"nas if he's saying don't you forget about me

Hopefully this means he's been working this summer and a MIP season next year
