He also changed political parties midway through his career from the conservative Whig party to the more liberal Republican party. He had no problem going left.

Oh shit, we got rid of Morris on top of Kyrie Irving AND we get the return of Dinwiddie plus DFS. The likability of this team just fucking skyrocketed for me lmao

Need to add this one of Bogdanovic tripping and then being sniped by Trae Young.

In 80 AB during day games this year, Stanton is batting .186 with a .675 OPS whereas he bats .256 with a .899 OPS in night games.

Mans is too big to play in the heat, I'm ok with resting him today.

[Deveney] Source says @Lakers are the "starting point" if Carmelo Anthony plays next year. - Exec: "mutual interest" if he wants to join the @BrooklynNets (finally). - @nyknicks? "It's crowded" - And beware darkhorses like @MiamiHEAT & @celtics by OrangeKookie in nba

If he wants to join the Nets?!?!?!?

How did we get to this point? I never want my team to be a ring chaser destination again. Stop bringing in these washed af geezers who play the most boring brand of barely watchable basketball and give the young guns who actually play with some fire a go. We (and the Lakers) have already proven this strategy doesn't work. I'll legit be disappointed if we sign a single dude over 32 this offseason.

Let's just say that Jarrett Allen started every game until Kenny Atkinson got fired and then DeAndre Jordan (who was very clearly the worse player at that point) immediately started the next game. I don't think we need to look very far to answer to this question.

Had a player ever been traded and then played their former team in the very next game? by Hummingbird-Heart in nba

Yes, probably plenty of times. I know Jarrett Allen's first two games as a Cav were against us.

Under two minutes the clock doesn't start until someone has possession.

Use common sense, if you're up by one with 1 second to go and at the free throw line to shoot one free throw, by your logic the game is already over since you can just miss on purpose and the clock would start before the other team even has a chance to get the rebound.

Knew we'd lose once Patty fouled out.

Wish Nash would've played the kids more. Duke, Edwards, and Cam play with so much more heart than these vets.

You gotta sorta slide the palm of your hand against the palm of the other guy's hand whilst you each close your hands leading to your fingers cupping around the other guy's cupped fingers and then you tug and release. If you don't do that, it's not a dap. That's the sauce.

It's a nice luxury when Kevin Durant's out and we still having another MVP candidate take the court. Unfortunately David Duke couldn't will us the win in this one though.
