@WobBurnerBurner Playoff expansion for something that only happens every 4 years I think is okay, playoff expansion in sports/leagues where we get a playoff each year is where the dilution ruins it

@WorldWideWob I noticed the pump fake on the BANG when he thought the Merrill shot went down

Go ahead and get that MVP trophy out of Shai’s locker and hand it over to the future on the other side

This is about as perfect as you could put it

[Brett Usher @UsherNBA]

considering their roster – a good one, but certainly not a 60-win group on paper – and that their three best players are still only 24, 23, and 22, it's safe to say the Pistons overachieved in the regular season. and that's exactly what you want! but it set a high bar, so their overall showing in the Playoffs felt underwhelming, and Sunday's G7 blowout loss was a major disappointment, even though most would agree the Cavs were the far more talented team. but if you zoom out and look at the big picture, this Pistons season – top seed in the East and one win away from the Conference Finals – was absolutely a success. they weren't supposed to be this good this soon, and while we can all agree they're missing a piece or two – namely another reliable scorer – they've got something special in the 313.

@WorldWideWob @WobBurnerBurner How else would you see the full art of the shoes without this stance

[Carter VanTimmeren @CarterJames_21]

@WobBurnerBurner Are you worried people will catch on?

I was as pessimistic as anyone about the new NBA ASG gimmicks they’ve been trying to do

That being said, that was the best competition we’ve seen in a while

& didn’t involve random people doing random stuff. Just hoops

S/O @DetroitPistons continuing to win

[Carter VanTimmeren @CarterJames_21]

The Bears? The team the Lions beat twice this year?

Bring him to the crib @Lions

Breaking: The NCAA has denied Trinidad Chambliss a sixth year of eligibility, which would end his college career. The decision comes after a verbal denial in December. Ole Miss can still appeal the decision.

@WorldWideWob The intro you’ve been waiting so many years for being recorded off your phone like all the other highlights on your twitter is just 🤌🏼

[NBA on NBC and Peacock @NBAonNBC]

ABSOLUTE CHILLS.

Cue up Roundball Rock … the NBA is BACK on NBC and Peacock. 🏀🤩

@WobBurnerBurner I have a theory FOX takes longer commercial breaks than any other network. Breaks seemed incredibly longer on that game than any of the other ones yesterday

@WorldWideWob Career choice if it wasn’t NBA/content creation?

[Tyrese Haliburton @Hali]

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

The NBA game I was most excited for in years got ruined minutes in. Why did that have to happen 😔

[Carter VanTimmeren @CarterJames_21]

@WorldWideWob Seeing him say “I did it” to the trainer when he came over really put the knife through my heart

[Carter VanTimmeren @CarterJames_21]

@WorldWideWob Well done sir
