Come, come, we have a great player called "John Wall's contract"

[JEIS]

Adam Silver is doing an investigation to determine if Giannis play the in the first quarter of the all star game is considered nonverbal tampering.

Silver: "Other GM's are concerned that the actions of Giannis play are equally, if not more devastating as a verbal recruitment, with actions speaking louder than words."

Washington Albatros sounds good, but I really feel like the Washington White Elephants really has a DC vibe about it.

unless a lip reader chimes in and says that's what he is saying, i dont believe it.

these guys have each other's phone numbers, social media and all that, there's no reason to have that particular conversation right then and there. KD doesn't look like he's agreeing with whatever is said anyway.

besides, we all know KD is coming to the Bucks.

Long article but very interesting on Donaghy definitely fixing games.

I can't believe Beal isn't counting the minutes until he can leave the mess that is WAS and being Wall's teammate.

It's still ASB, so let's check in with Controversy LaRue and see how brotherly things are in Battery City.

WAHLBERG: Do you think that being brutally honest has gotten you into trouble?

BUTLER: I think so, but I don’t think it’s wrong. I really don’t. Maybe my delivery is the problem. Everybody wants honesty until you’re honest with them. I hear so many people say, “I want the truth. I want you to be honest.” But the second you are, they’re like, “Damn, I didn’t know you were going to say that!” So am I wrong for telling you the truth just because you can’t handle it? Or maybe I know you can’t handle it, and I should sugarcoat it a bit? I will say being brutally honest has gotten me in a lot of bad situations

Folks, I'm being brutally honest here: Jimmy's a dickslap. Either you agree with me or you just can't handle it imo

Damn, Chonestown, couldn't you have put some Magic Shell on that statement of unremitting fire and add an easily-stomached candy crunch to it?

Reader, I could not.

Would be naive to think this doesn't still happen in the NBA. And it sure seems like a logical explanation to the timing of some odd penalties in NFL games as well. This article does a good job of showing how subtly a fix could happen, it doesn't involve a ref sitting down in a smoky bar with Tony Soprano. Its as simple as a nod or a wink to a golf buddy.

Remember when Mike Beasley was genuinely helping us win games? Only two years ago feels like forever. He should probably stay in China and chase Marbury deity status.

He should travel the earth, meeting passerby and dining on local cuisine, stopping only long enough to provide instant scoring for the locals' hoop squad.

According to this article, gotta watch to see if the line swings violently from morning to night.

One of my biggest fears this season is that the Bucks play a game 7 and Marc Davis is one of the officials.

I don't believe for a second that the NBA is instructing refs to fix games or give stars calls (for example, I think Harden's play style is why he gets those calls). But it is easy for a rogue referee to make some easy money by fixing games. This could happen in any sport and it's almost impossible to catch. It's one of the reasons I want robots to eventually replace referees.

Was he reffing the Bucks Philly playoff series?

He should travel the earth, meeting passerby and dining on local cuisine, stopping only long enough to drop knowledge on those lucky enough to be in his presence:

“I'm your favorite player's favorite player”

“I love the fact that tomorrow never comes. You can’t wake up and say it’s tomorrow. It’s always today.”

This is always going to be a problem with Embiid.

Embiid should probably lose 40-50 lbs.
