Ball did not cross the halfcourt, so it's fine.

Did Niang get even fatter since the last game? Is he mainlining cheeseburgers intravenously while he sleeps?

weird rule, I've watched a LOT of basketball and never knew that.

If your feet are on the other side, and you are touching the basketball, that's an over and back.

Which is hilarious because A. It had "If necessary" in the ad and B. You absolutely have to have that ad ready and showing so people know where to watch the potential game 7.

Cavs not playing very good defense so if they can clean it up there this'd be a close game late.

WNBA preseason tonight I think. RS starts in couple weeks. They are promoting the heck out of Caitlin Clark and it's her 1st preseason game.

Super weird. How much practice could they have had? Let the girl breathe. (talking about my girl CC)

Only guess is they want to get the season over with ASAP so the players can make it to Europe in time for the real money.
