F*** stats. Some of us enjoy just watching the game and all of the fun moments that happen in the wacky world of regular season hoops.

Pete's was a bit better because he cocked it back farther before throwing it, but they were way too similar to say one was "infinitely better" than the other.

It was his first game back from injury after being out for six weeks. He also had 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. You're going to develop a heart condition from too much salt.

You know Pistol Pete turned the ball over a ton, right? TikTok didn't invent playing fast and loose

That’s one of the best passes I’ve seen. You can’t teach that

Minnesota's announcer Dave Benz has this trash tier "Ant Facts" shtick that sucks after Anthony Edwards makes a big play; it sucks so bad.

Whining aside, great pass.

The Hornets announcer would obnoxiously scream about Cody Martin jumping rope. At this point, the Hornets are the only team I watch on mute. But yes, great pass.

What you mean? According to many fans today, 38-45% is an elite shooter :lol:

Glad to have the rookie of the year back to finish the season.

Came in here with lots of doubt, but that pass is absolutely fantastic. Announcer is annoying, though. Way too forced. It's like he's trying to top the players at all times rather than accent them in a way that makes their plays seem even greater.
