ESPN making something out of nothing involving their own reporter is weird

for the last point, couldn’t GSW and MIN both qualify if they run up the score and both have huge point differentials at the end of the night?

(usurping PHX as the wildcard)

1:15 is wild bc he dribbles the ball far out twice in the same play — and the Clippers still can’t pick the ball or stop his dribble

is it better to bounce off each leg (right-to-left; vice versa) in single step bursts like Max does at the start?

noticed he opts for that over sliding his feet over laterally whenever Donovan tries a cross

yeah this definitely happened within the last week or so as well in another arena (they used actual Xs and Os)

I freaking love watching Suggs. look at his help on Jokic that first play down

Ira Winderman explained the Cavs court is raised to help with sight lines in the arena

Drummond even releases the shot quick, i dont know what more you’re supposed to do at that point

the camera pan and the strobe lights being reflected, give me the false impression the video is fast forwarded

feels like teams are more likely to play their stars during in season tournament games, which would be a big factor.

its not detailed in this piece, but if i remember the original details:

• it wasn’t old credentials, the employee in question was still employed by the Knicks at the time
• consequently there wasn’t any hacking done, just usage of the existing log in for a platform called Synergy
• Synergy is used by every NBA team and the video-enhanced offering allows for the curation of playlists/clips. the employee in question linked these videos in emails to the Raptors staff (an example was clips around guarding Luka Doncic?)
• any team with access to Synergy can recurate these videos, there’s just likely legwork in the process (i have no idea what Synergy’s ease-of-life features are for transferring user settings/creations to a different team-based account)

OP’s username still checks out if the Thunder win this season right

all of their late game action pretty much was a 3 person scheme between SGA, Chet, and him.

SGA - Chet PnR, Chet gets the behind the back pass at the 3 pt line, has the option to shoot or pump fake into a drive or pass, then he can pass to JDub at the wing, who can then use Chet’s screen on his own drive, or create his own shot

what a moment for Chet:

• 24 sec shot clock violation bc he doesnt pull the 3
• misses a layup at the rim
• gives up an offreb for the Wiggins 3

redemption with the SLOB turnaround 3

Russ has to be a better teammate on defense, gambles unnecessarily when PG is already ready to help down low, and then just stops there and does nothing to slow Eason’s cut

Darius Garland turns super saiyan 2 in the corner

CP3 giving him a stare afterwards got me

that last sequence was wild. has both defenders behind him but lobs it back to Bam

this is a nice play to punish Rudy playing in drop
