alsoconnor is a really, really funny dude (clearly). good basketball follow.

Also nothing would surprise me any more. But Griff punching Gilbert would be lololololololololol

An Israeli sportswriter compared LeBron to Hamas.

So it's good to see that hot takes aren't just limited to old crotchety US sports columnists.

The elbow to the back of his head seemed pretty deliberate. Can't say I blame him entirely.


Also.

How about Dwight, Andre and DeAndre shooting a combined 66% last night.

Dre went 7/12. That's nearly 60% and I've got to feel pretty good about it.

Also, as terrible as their record shows them to be the 76ers are a lot of fun to watch. High energy, high intensity. If they can learn to close out games they could be a pretty damn good team.

this never would have happened in detroit

without beer

No, don't want to excuse him blowing up but definitely can't blame him, that was a blatant shot at his head.

any FT percentage above 50% nullifies the advantages of the strategy so if they can stay there it will end.

And yeah that elbow is pretty ridiculous, hooping in china is like that, weird rough, they don't want to get physical but they will swipe at you on occasion.

well clearly the cavs are fine now nothing to see here
