Chuck made more money in TV than his entire playing career, good on him

 

[Tetsujin]

Yes he’s good at basketball. But it is under-discussed as to where he sits on the all time list for drunk guys that like to take their shirt off. He’s got the consistency. The variation (shirt full off vs unbuttoned). And of course the standing on top of stuff aspect https://t.co/VB0UVGjzCW

Literally why? Lol.

Especially with Lauri having flexibility to play the 3 or 4 effectively.

Brandin Podziemski was told by the Warriors his offensive role will include putting up 8-10 threes per game, per @anthonyVslater (https://t.co/R0iXoW450X).

Podziemski shot 38.5% on 3.5 attempts, and now he will significantly increase his perimeter usage replacing Klay Thompson. pic.twitter.com/D7bk2zkcqk

Warriors truly in their zombie Kobe era.

As long as he can run up and down the court, that place sells tickets.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

And the last five minutes or so of that gold medal game is going to sell a lot more tickets. There's still some Steph left in there.

Holy heck. Although, unless the new physical NBA kicks off soon or Curry doesn't fall victim to early frailty = late career decimation norm it's not that unbearable.

Maybe GS of the Curry era. Prior to that they essentially had Run TMC and a LOT of really bad years from the late 80's on. I don't remember too many big names signing with the Warriors. In fact, other than KD, which big names have signed there since? Steph, Klay, Draymond and all their current young guys were all draft picks.

I'd guess Curry ages like Reggie Miller (who made it to 39 in the 90s/00s), their games are pretty similar at this point. Should be able to run off screens and shoot for a while while he makes his way up the all-time points ranking (should pass Reggie this year)

the first smart/good choice the Clippers have made since Jerry West died.

Theo Pinson: “They played the Timberwolves there’s 0 reason Rudy Gobert should’ve been on that court.”

Dereck Lively: “Zero”

TP: “But you’re paying him $40M, you better get your a** out there & figure it the f*ck out.”

DL: “And he didn’t”

while I don’t necessarily disagree with the sentiment, why the hell is Lively putting this huge ass target on his back?

There are rumblings of an internal rift between Nuggets GM Calvin Booth and head coach Michael Malone, per @ZachLowe_NBA (https://t.co/6qmYRjEZqv).

Denver’s roster construction next season will rely on Malone to play Booth’s recent draft picks more than ever before. pic.twitter.com/2QKszJnxdl

Ben Simmons showing up, playing all 82 games, and having an unbelievable MVP caliber season out of nowhere in the last year of his contract would be so endlessly entertaining that I hope it happens. And then I hope some team (please be the Lakers) takes the dare and gives him a truckload of money so he can turn back into, well, Ben Simmons in the off-season and the entertainment will continue for another 4 years at their expense.

Is it me, or does it look like Kevin Huerter put on some weight to play more SF? pic.twitter.com/qKC0ZCSYLc

nothing like taking photos as the player is already 30-60 minutes into his workout and all that blood flow makes the muscles look Bibby like

not to worry, Fox will have sleep deprived nights due to another child, no time to deadlift after games

How old do you reckon Dolph Schayes was when he stopped going by his given name?
