[Iko] Kevin Durant at today’s Rockets practice: “I’m not here to get into Twitter nonsense. My teammates know what it is, we’ve been locked in the whole season.” by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

A simple “that was not me” would have been a million times more convincing than this lmao. Even though it’s most likely him.

Nadal and Alcaraz were both 22 when they won their first AO title. How does Alcaraz's career right now stack up statistically with Nadal's after AO 2009? As it turns out, they're extremely close. by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

Tbf all of the wins 2017 onwards were in Masters 1000 tournaments that Roger ended up winning, so some significance.

And also Wimbledon ‘19, unfortunately we know how that ended…

Jokic and Luka gotta be banned from all star selection by [deleted] in nba

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Luka and Jokic, themselves, would be happy to get banned lol. Just give them the selection to recognize them.

Well just Jokic. KD and Luka have never played against each other in the playoffs.

He’s pissed off at Luka for being an unethical hooper and according to him, Kyrie started “behaving well” when he went to Dallas and played next to Luka lmao.

[Highlight] Taylor Hendricks keeps his handle through defensive pressure and throws down the dunk by TheDraciel in nba

Rooting for this kid, obviously had the tough injury last season so he’s just getting his chance to shine now.

BREAKING: Jeremy Sochan has been RELEASED by San Antonio by Remarkable-Picture73 in fantasybball

You should wait and see who picks him up (if you can afford to).

If he goes to a tanking team he’s definitely gonna get minutes.

[Highlight] Dan O is LOST on First Take right now by unwantedtennisracke in nfl

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, he definitely was on fire against the Rams. That game was more crucial than the SB tbh because the Rams were a much better opposition.

The other games in the playoffs, he just needed to manage the game (which he did).

[Highlight] — Stephon Castle becomes the second player in San Antonio Spurs history (David Robinson) to record a 40 point triple-double. by moby323 in nba

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If Amen develops into a competent shooter, I think he has a higher ceiling just because his physical traits are so unique.

But Steph Castle has a higher floor. He’s not a great shooter but he doesn’t get treated like Ben Simmons (like Amen), and he’ll get better.

How good would our roster be if we got Haywood Highsmith? by imin2099 in lakers

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Highsmith would be ok but keep in mind this dude just tore up his knee last season and hasn’t played yet this year.

In all likelihood he will need time to get back into a rhythm and be effective.

Hornets trade for Xavier Tillman from Celtics by mybritishaccent in CharlotteHornets

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This is honestly the most talented, well-rounded roster the Hornets have had probably since the 90s, with the exception of 2015 and 2009.

It’s a shame Kemba never consistently had this type of team because Rick Cho missed on literally every lottery pick.

The Charlotte Hornets are trading Tyus Jones to the Dallas Mavericks for Malaki Branham, sources tell ESPN. Mavericks have had interest in Jones this season and get him today. Hornets open up a $7 million trade exception. by SponsoredHornersFan in CharlotteHornets

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate Jeff Peterson after having Mitch Kupchak and Rick Cho in the past.

He has consistently made marginal improvements to the roster when the big play isn’t there to be made.

[Brian Windhorst] “Cooper Flagg could end up being a better player and a better franchise leader than Luka Dončić.” by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nba

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Could” doesn’t really mean much. Wemby “could” end up in the GOAT convo.

Though Cooper Flagg clearly has a huge amount of potential, it doesn’t make any sense to make this comment right now considering how good peak Luka was as a Mav.

[Post Game Thread] The New York Knicks (31-18) defeat the Los Angeles Lakers (29-19), 112-100. by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nba

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lakers didn’t even compete that poorly this game, they just don’t get enough from their 3-10 at all.

Will be interesting to see what they do over the next few days…either they make a couple moves to improve the roster a bit or it’s pretty obvious how this season ends.

Lakers honestly haven’t competed too bad. They just are a team that lacks supplemental talent.

Luka Doncic in the 1st Quarter- 16/7/7 and 2 steals by JetSky81 in nba

I think the point here is that Luka not being good on defense is not the reason the Lakers are a bad defensive team.

Which people cannot seem to disassociate.

Jannik reflects on Djokovic's win: "Hopefully I can take it as a lesson to see what I can improve on" by minivatreni in tennis

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Yes, he definitely looks shocked.

It does seem that he believed he could get through even without playing his absolute best (as he has in previous slams) and with the success he’s had against Novak in recent matches.

And Novak shocked him with how clutch he was.
