Seeing non-calls this season on all the free throw grifting warms my heart.

Yes. f*ck James Harden.

"free throw grifting"

I love that phrase.

Truly amazing to see how crap he is when he's not getting calls.

BING BONG, etc.

Scottie Barnes has been something, eh?

Tonight the New York Knicks and the Toronto Raptors play each other at Madison Square Gardens, exactly 75 years ago today the Knicks played the Toronto Huskies in the first ever NBA game at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto... Pretty neat bookend for a marking a historic moment.

Y'know, ordinarily I would ignore the Twitter yelling, but... uh... yeah.

Zion looks... uh.... reverse-svelte. I hope he's okay.

Gearing up to play offensive line for the Saints!

Wow. I know everyone’s metabolism is different but when your career depends on you staying in shape, coming back like that really indicates either a problem or a lack of caring.

Is it even fair to call Miami a dark horse contender anymore? Because that horse appears to be full of Luciferium or whatever.

They added one of the best point guards in the NBA to a pretty deep team The Heat were contenders to me the moment it was clear Lowry was going there.

I thought Lowry might have slipped a fair bit last season but nope, I guess it was just Tampa.

Long season with a short off season. Let's see where things are in 2-3 months.

Was hoping to see another step in playmaking from OG Anunoby this year and I haven't seen it yet (though I'm awful at watching basketball... Or sports in general). But he's seemed to have added a stepback-3 that could be a nice weapon for him if it's legit.

They basically had 1.5 seasons on the road. It's why I'm still willing to believe in Pascal too.

This is now the preferred way to celebrate Warriors wins this season. I'll be taking no further questions at this time.

6-1!

Apparently 70+ people all collaborated to make up a whole bunch of stories about how the owner of the Phoenix Suns is a racist, sexist piece of shit.

Looking forward to the Seattle Suns!

A couple of weeks ago, word got out about this upcoming story and Sarver released a statement denying everything. For a story that wasn't out at the time and no one had any clue about it's content.

In case people wonder later why Steve Kerr's about to rightly get grilled in the press:

Golden State coach Steve Kerr helped introduce Sarver to former NBA commissioner David Stern before Sarver bought the Suns in 2004. After serving as a consultant, Kerr was named the team's general manager in 2007, a position he left in 2010. He hasn't worked with the Suns in any capacity since that time. Kerr was a minority owner of the team from 2004 to 2014 when he divested a less-than-1% stake to coach the Warriors.

Of their time together from 2004 to 2010, Kerr told ESPN: "I never saw anything that suggested racism or misogyny, and I was very surprised to hear those allegations because that's not the person that I know."

Thing is, this is really up to whether the other 29 owners want him out. If they don't, he'll get suspended and maybe get a fine, but that's it.

The Tankin' OKC Thunder are 2-0 against the Lakers so far this year, and without a win against everyone else? How?

Westbrook?

And no LeBron this game.

Hey! They're already writing a book about this Lakers season!

Jokic’s brothers are threatening the Morris twins.

The drama in this league is unmatched.

Warriors now 9-1. Curry also had 50 with 10 assists.

That was one of those games that made me really happy I had League Pass. The Warriors look so good right now, in terms of their depth and how they’re moving the ball. It wasn’t just Curry getting 50.

Why is a terrible game between two 1 win terrible teams on ESPN tonight? There are multiple other games between actual playoff teams they could have chosen.
