Broke down and highlighted the play of the game between Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark last night
A high PnR in the early 4th quarter that resulted in a Boston bucket at the rim
On why it mattered now and in the longterm and the intricacies of the play
I never want to see Miles Bridges play another game.
What he did to that woman, his WIFE, is unspeakable. It’s “not on the NBA” to punish players, so fine then, cut him out. There’s no place for this in any walk of life.
It’s about time we start taking this seriously.
Enes Kanter Freedom on his free agency:
“Free agency is open for one month. Normally, I should have already received offers. This summer I did not receive one single offer...”

Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix talks the Denver Nuggets media gripe.
"they're just not a compelling team to talk about - to write about"
Worth noting that
@SIChrisMannix
and his cohort are compelled by attention. And financial return. They peddle NBA sugar, not basketball.
Both Angel and Caitlin bring this energy to games: it’s great for the sport.
It’s competitive fire and energy.
They don’t hurt anyone, just ball out and talk shit and back it up.
But it’s always brought up with Angel and has been all year. It shouldn’t be and it’s wrong.
Draymond Green lights into Grant Williams after that late-game scuffle
“This tough guy (act) is going absolutely wrong for him. He’s a nice guy.”
“Talking too much is kinda what got you out of Dallas”
“Pray for Grant Williams”
My mom always told me to avoid saying I hate people: it’s so strong
I legitimately hate you. I hate every fiber of your insolent being you vile little snake.
I would rather file for unemployment than have my name signed on to work for your shitstain company.
“One of my favorite players growing up, was Rip. As you know, he was No. 32. So, I’ll be one off from 32 with No. 31. A little play on both of them.”
Why does Bagley wear 35? Sasser 25? Livers 12?
The stories behind the Pistons’ jersey numbers:
This is wild.
Josh Naylor was rounding the bases rocking a baby and calling Gerrit Cole his son. I’m a fan of bat flips and celebrating your work, but don’t make it disrespectful. This is quite disrespectful.

And I hope that he can get help and figure his shit out, but at the same time, acting like he’s just a therapist away from not doing this is ludicrous.
We need to stop acting like the victim in this situation isn’t the priority.
Aliyah Boston deserves grace. Just had one of the best rookie seasons in league history and this whole team is undergoing change
Hasn’t been an ideal start for her, but some of these takes are insane.
Shaq on not knowing who Rui Hachimura was prior to the Lakers trade:
"If you ain't a top 10 player, I don't know who you are... I'm not watching the Bullets or the Wizards."

Just had a conversation with one of the assistant coaches in the
@NBA
.
He was getting attacked throughout the whole season because
1) Who he supports,
2) He is a Republican.
He felt so uncomfortable and he quit his job at the end of the year.
This is unacceptable.
1. dude hasn't said a remotely insightful thing since he entered the league. we learned that during the COVID snapchat ordeal iykyk
2. anyone who willingly wears a beanie that doesn't cover their hairline is an unserious person
3. "females" is an auto do not listen
This has been the most repeatedly dumb saga of all time.
When you're better at defending yourself in a Breitbart column than you are at defending the paint, yeah, you're gonna get axed dude
I’m not saying it didn’t wind up hurting them, but I just need people to be more fr about not guarding someone who has literally never made a three
Just call it what it was: an incredible call from Dawn Staley with confidence in her player.
Important reminder than Giannis Antetokounmpo is well on his way to furthering himself as one of the all time greats in the sport of basketball
Enjoy the greatness while it’s organic folks, because this is the shit
If your ass can't even play in a deep drop without getting rinsed, good lord what CAN you do defensively
Is Enes blackballed, sure? But he's shitcanned more by his own deficiencies than anything he's ever said. if he were actually good enough to fit into the game, he'd be here
ESPN Sources: Free agent G Josh Primo is planning to sign a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. Since his release from the Spurs in October, Primo has been engaged in ongoing therapy – which will continue in LA.
I’m glad his wife spoke out and was open about this, because I think some of you really need that wake up call and bluntness, but she shouldn’t have to.
Just an incredibly messed up situation. Goddamn
Ay man, you’ve been on my radar for half a decade and I’ve kept you off my TL because you’re typically way off base
Lets keep it a buck; you don’t watch games. You don’t know or understand the product
LOW is still lying for clicks. Costs 0 dollars to stay in your lane
Giannis is going to finish his career as one of the 10 greatest players the NBA has ever seen and there’s just a wild backlash to appreciating that
It’s weird
Our first link up between Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese!
High 1/5 ball screen for Dana Evans
Angel lifts to the elbow from the dunker. Mabrey backscreens for Cardoso
Kamilla rolls, Angel hits the quick touch pass

Chelsea Gray’s final numbers for the 2022 playoffs (10 games played)
21.7 ppg and 7 apg
72.7% true-shooting on 14.4 FGA per game (league average right around 54.1%)
54.4% from deep (5.7 per game)
65.5% on 2’s
- 63.2% from 3-10 feet
- 62.9% from 10-16
- 69.2% from 16 to the arc
Dude, this is just wild lol
The ball movement, cutting, and pace we saw from vegas in that first quarter was special
Liberty finally feel like they find some traction in scramble and the Aces throw 8 passes and nail and OTD contested three by Chelsea Gray
What a possession
Anthony Edwards has emerged as Team USA's go-to scoring option.
Many around the league believe the 22-year-old is primed to ascend to superstar status this season.
Is it time for a bigger stage than Minnesota?

@TheAthleticWBB
Really excited to join the team for the stretch run of what's been an awesome college season!
The Knicks and the Kings are both in good places, the best they've been in in well over a decade.
I'm tired of acting like they're not.
In defense of two teams that aren't challenging for a title, and why I couldn't care less that they aren't contenders.
Deepest team in the country
Best defense in the country
Best offense in the country
18th hardest strength of schedule in D1
An absolute force of a season from Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks, in a year where inconsistency has been the name of the game
What a regular season
Danny Granger was an All-Star and one of the best scorers of the mid to late 00’s before injuries
Y’all can just say you don’t know what you’re talking about and move along. Egregious clickbait
I didn’t know how to weigh in at the time, but after sitting with it and soaking everything in, it’s just frustrating how this played out.
I’m not a religious person in the slightest. Came up in church and it just wasn’t for me for a lot of reasons
That clip got taken to task.
"I'm not going to apologize for what I said or what I feel because I know my life & why things have happened in my life."
I also asked

about the reaction to her courtside post-game interview on Sunday. She puts it in some context here.

I promise you I keep that energy regardless. Whoever commits abuse deserves the same vitriol, regardless of what they do for a living or who they are
