I’m for it. The teams in this league are too comfortable. Promote the Mad Ants or something.

'Triggered' or not, the fact that it isn't a travel is a f***king joke.

I don't think the solution to bad basketball is bringing up a G-League team.

It is a travel.

You know why? Because every ref in the world would blow their whistle and call it, regardless of whether it's technically a legal move. They watch the game in real time, not in slow motion segments.

...And also because he lands before the ball leaves his hands on the shot (per Twitter responses) :lol:

Guy is shooting 76% on high volume his last two games. Unsustainable, but he's definitely a better player than his reputation lends him.

Must be nice to get that championship before all the bad luck strikes. Unlike us where the bad luck typically comes late in the season or in Round 1 so we get knocked out. Not even going to mention this season lol.

Koloko, Victor Wembanyama, Damian Lillard, and Ausar Thompson are the latest NBA players to suffer from blood clots—marking the highest number of cases in a single season over the past decade.

Hmm.. What could be causing this?

I hope the Dame news opens the door for a Giannis trade.

But man… I think the Thunder would be clear frontrunners in a Giannis sweepstakes.

Oh… I was about to say it’s because of all the medical advancements in detecting blood clots.

The one thing for certain is there will never be an answer given, even if there is one.

It's odd to me how wise cracks are allowed on the GB for some injured players but sympathy is demanded for others. I do feel bad for Dame but definitely not the Bucks.
