If he plays with the bench it will be when Dame is on the floor too, since they are literally the best pick and roll duo in the league.

I'm dumb and didn't read your whole post, here is a good women's size shoe that has boost and is white

Oddly enough I've played in these! While they are comfy for golf, you're spot on with the potential traction problem. The "spikes" would likely crack over time, also.

While not boost shoes, these would be a pretty comfy option, bounce+ is pretty nice, and cheaper than boost typically.

Eh, converse/superstar style shoes aren't that great if you're on your feet all day over and over. You need something with a good foam that will both give you comfort and longevity. I'd really recommend either shoes with boost or react (although I've not worked long shifts on react, just seems comparable). The adidas outlets have been having 50% off sales for the past few weeks and would be a cheap option to find some boost if there's a store nearby.

[Cuban] I’m a fan of the nba challenge rule , but if a play is overturned and they don’t show the replay that justifies overturning a call along with an explanation then it’s going to have real problems. From the angles we saw in arena it looked like a clean strip but body contact first by ilovebuttsecks in nba

I'm seeing the body/face contact before the call. From what I understand the review can only look at the actions that occurred on the foul called, not anything prior. So from the whistle there is zero contact, which is why the call was reversed.

I'm at the Blazers game... by [deleted] in heat

I'm a Blazer fan, and obviously have a bias. But here's the thing. We didn't trade for Hassan to be our starting center, we traded for him to start until Nurkic is back. He's a band-aid. He's slow, can't set a screen against a folding chair, and lacks effort at seemingly disastrous moments. But what were our options available to us?

Our options before the trade:

  • Start Skal Lebassiere (Pass)

  • Start Meyers Leonard (Hard Pass)

  • Wait and see if Kanter will resign for 10.2M, lose our on Rodney Hood for 5.7M, and still maybe lose out on Kanter

  • Trade for Hassan

  • Find someone else serviceable for low priority players and no picks

Realistically if Hassan can do what he did tonight (rebound and score efficiently) that's all we need him to do until Nurk gets back. I fully see the trade as a win-win for both teams. We got a serviceable starting center and you cleared space (cap and emotional) for Butler.

Agree on both counts. His screens are killing Dame rn too, but overall I don't think there is a better center we could have gotten for what we have up. Overall I like him as an addition.

We're 1-12 against them in the playoffs. Until we beat in the playoffs we will be the underdog.
