Donovan's response when Shaq tells him he doesn't have what it takes to get to the next level:

1. lol Shaq
2. Hot take alert: I think De’Aaron is legitimately better than Donovan now.

Haha at least he said it to his face

Not all that difficult when you're the most imposing man on the planet lol

why are the Bucks wearing Dallas Mavericks jerseys?

I've been asking some variation of this question a lot this season. The NBA let some of these teams get way out there on the alternate jerseys this year.

Houston sends a protected second round pick to the Cavs for Mr. Porter

Interesting. Houston is really committed to the Bad News Bears model of roster construction this season, and I kindof like it. As long as you're turning the page on the Harden era and starting over, might as well make things interesting.

as much as I like them doing work with Nike, that may of been the worst decision in terms of originality and color schemes. In the case of NBA jerseys, simple is the best route to go. It looked good 30 years ago and it would look good in todays era too.

The end to that HOU/DET game was... something.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So... is Colin Sexton the mayor of Brooklyn, now?

 

[kingsboi]

quality basketball happening between Nuggets and Suns and they play again tomorrow to boot

 

[iowamcnabb]

Are the Cavs going to make the playoffs? They were supposed to be one of the worst teams in the league but are playing pretty well right now. Sexton is playing at an all star level and they have some depth. When Love returns, they will have Nance, Garland, Prince, Allen and Mcgee on the bench.

Demarcus with that classic big man line of 5 points 15 rebounds and 7 dimes on 2-16 shooting.

Dame really just slapped an extra letter on one kid and gave them the same exact name.

 

[Tetsujin]

Hot take: The Mavs losing half of their roster to a COVID outbreak has actually helped them in that it prevents Carlislie from playing his favorite legion of mediocre dudes (Kleiber, Powell, Finney-Smith) twenty minutes a night and get back to just having Luka pound the rock and creating

You haven't really watched basketball until you've seen Zombie Blake Griffin go against post-Achilles/ACL/Calf Boogie for 30 minutes.

It’s like they saw the universal praise their city uniforms got last season and cranked everything up to 11.

Speaking of awful city unis, Minnesota just scorched my eyes with their bright neon lime greens.

Oi Vey. The Bagleys and the Balls must vacation together

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Cousins looking much better, early, on the second night of a back-to-back. Can't help but wonder how much of that is a function of Christian Wood being unavailable, how much is Wall being back, and how much is Dallas' depth issues forcing them to play a traditional center against him?

17/15/4 for Boogie at the half. Actually fills my heart with joy seeing that.

To be fair, LaMelo should be starting for the hornets because Graham has been hot trash for most of the season.

Easily his best game since before the Achilles tear, already.

The Nets barely beating Miami without half their roster isn’t nearly as impressive as their commentators are making it sound.

26/17, still in the third. NBA TV just went to the Houston game.

Poor Willie Cauley-Stein getting his soul stolen by hobbled 30-year-old Boogie.

I guess the defensive player of the game title belt was a one-time use for him.

With Zinger out, this was a perfect opportunity for him to showcase his Porzingis skill set too.
