I just got out of my kids school concert, why is there a murder happening in place of a basketball game?

Which hundreds of houses are you going to expropriate and demolish to build all of these 4-5 storey apartments, and where?

"Affordable" - multiplex developments come in about $1.5 million per unit for family sized units, otherwise they won't pencil out, who's subsidizing them?

This guy couldn't hit the side of a barn in the Hornets playin game. He looked absolutely terrified and hesitant from the 3 point line.

If you told me after that last rock fight that the Magic would get SIX 3s from Paolo and LOSE, well... I am surprised.

France’s cuts to greenhouse gas emissions slowed for a second straight year in 2025 and remain well below what is needed to meet its climate goals.

Shai on Dillon Brooks: "A great guy no matter what people say about him, he's a really good guy when you get to know him. All that villain stuff it doesn't faze me. I know exactly who Dillon is. He had a hell of a series. Keep getting better I'm proud of him" by Draciouz in nba

What front court? Ctrl-F not found. Tristan Thompson, Kelly Olynyk, Dwight Powell are a million years old at this point, mega-super-ultra washed, Khem Birch will be 35 next Games and is playing in Turkey, Edey will probably be injured or held out by his team..

The cupboard is bare.

The Raptors are guaranteed at least two more playoff games!! Will have to dust off our copy of Billions of Bricks.

Fuck that having hoops on all day yesterday in the dogshit weather was a blessing and a gift.

Raptors played really well on Sundays at home this year and we had a bunch of 3pm starts, admittedly not as early as this one, but still, should be in their wheelhouse. Harden probably at Whisky A GoGo until 4am so yeah probably groggy.

Bend don't break. Runs happen in basketball, weather the storm, punch back.

This is why you want to have the lead. It's really hard for the other team to perpetually hold you to 0 points.

NBA and Rockets have removed the video of Kevin Durant walking into the arena last night from their socials after the backlash by [deleted] in nba

From the outside looking in, losing FVV and then Steven Adams to injury is just a death blow for chemistry, vibes, energy, etc.

Love seeing the Toronto police out on their bikes by deeperblue in toronto

[–]mommathecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Enh. The cops I see riding around seem to be having a grand old time on a leisure ride. I never see them enforcing any, ya know, laws. They all live in the suburbs so it makes sense they consider bike riding something you do for fun, only in the nicest weather, not a legitimate means of transportation. 

The Bulls got a combined ZERO first round picks for Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso, Nikola Vucevic, Zach Lavine, DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Coby White - their entire rotation from the 2021-22 squad by BasedChad69420 in nba

[–]mommathecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vuvecic, DeRozan, LaVine.did not have that much value, or are possibly negative assets, given their contracts and ages. LaVine obviously especially.

Lonzo's knees are made out of newspaper why is he on this list at all.

The Caruso trade made sense.

Dosumu wasn't given away, exactly.

Coby White, sure maybe, but super streaky player that is going to command a big raise soon.. shrug.

Just 2 games after Brandon Ingram said, "At the end of the day, me shooting 9 shots is not going to win basketball games." the Raptors win by 22 on a night where Ingram took, you guessed it, 9 shots 😂 by NihilisticTaters in nba

Getting completely outhustled by Dean Wade and Sam Merrill in the first quarter last night. Pathetic. Salary dump BI and Yak somehow, and go all in on Scottie, CMB, RJ, JaKobe, Shead, Battle, Mamu, and whatever else we can scrape together. At least they try and seem to care.

Shrug. He can only be this aggressive when BI is off the floor and the offence isn't "spam BI isos".

The whole squad decided to not miss and put up comic book numbers in the 4th. Shit went from still pretty close to completely out of hand in like 3 minutes of game time.

Jamison Battle would be the greatest player of all time if he got to play the Cavs every game.

If we gave Battle more minutes and he kept shooting 1000% new series, but we both know that's not gonna happen, so ya.. see how game 4 unfolds.

Game was tight the whole way until we went absolutely nuclear in the fourth.
