someday suppose that my curious nervousness stills into prescience, clairvoyant consciousness, I will be calmer than cream making maps out of your dreams

Yo, someone remake 48 Hours with Tiffany Haddish and Frances McDormand.

@HPbasketball I think with any superstar, part of the game is surrounding them with players who accentuate their strengths and hide their weaknesses (hello Jalen Brunson, Steph Curry). Luka just lost 2 years to poor matchmaking with his role players.

@HPbasketball Some of it is that he gets a pass because the Lakers trade was so weird. If he'd spent all this time in Dallas and had the same results, I think more people would be making the same argument you're making

[justin @ly_yng]

@HPbasketball There's a big difference between being #13 and #1 on this list. I think he's hit an above-average outcome, relative to his pre-draft hype: https://t.co/8gwdCP061n

Arike Ogunbowale, playing with teammate Jessica Shepard, hits a clutch, last-second shot to defeat Gabby Williams

[justin @ly_yng]

@NekiasNBA Are the WNBA rules different than the NBA? I feel like in the NBA they'd call Arike's push a technical b/c it's after the whistle

[justin @ly_yng]

@NetsDaily it's like Lucy and the football, except somehow he's both Lucy AND the football

[justin @ly_yng]

@HPbasketball the rich simply have more merit

@HPbasketball the play-in is the playoffs. the only people who don't think so are lawyers and nerds

[justin @ly_yng]

@NetsDaily 50/50, depends on whether the writers remember that they exist

[justin @ly_yng]

@HPbasketball I saw your list, independently made mine, and only afterwards realized we both picked King's Quest VI. That rules, dude

[justin @ly_yng]

@Fullcourtpass @joevardon It's also not true - the Clippers were on probation for cap circumvention with DeAndre Jordan. The Bucks are not, which would presumably mitigate the punishment.

It'd be more accurate to use the Wolves and Joe Smith, but with Trent there's no evidence of smoking gun paperwork.

[justin @ly_yng]

@Fullcourtpass @joevardon This sentence construction is disingenuous (at best).

If investigators find proof that @joevardon is guilty of what Jeffery Dahmer was guilty of, the punishment could be equally severe.

[justin @ly_yng]

@Netswamp hold up... did he pull that move on Cason Wallace? 👀👀👀

[justin @ly_yng]

@HPbasketball Predicts slow starts for Miami, Wizards, 76ers, TWolves, Lakers, Raptors. Potential rebounds for Houston, Orlando. Nuggets have continuity, maybe they drop off less than we expect.

[justin @ly_yng]

@HPbasketball I think there's an interesting analytics question here. My intuition is that the first N games a team plays together after a big roster reshuffle tend to underperform expectations. You'd predict these teams to be better in the 2nd half of the second, or in their 2nd year together

@NYCMayor Kawhi to the Knicks confirmed?

[Harry @lexaprotools]

Who’s running bushwick 🤔

[justin @ly_yng]

@NYPost_Lewis (I'm assuming they're going to be playing for Long Island this year)

[justin @ly_yng]

@NYPost_Lewis Sincerely curious: what is the point of these deals? Do they have partial guarantees? Are there union protections that apply to players who sign a contract, even if they're immediately cut?
