Ime Udoka whenever he’s asked who’s responsible for the Rockets late game struggles

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

This graphic is so poorly researched on the draft front. The Bulls drafted Lauri Markkanen, a 2022-23 All-Star, in 2017.

[Onyx @OnyxOdds]

The Bulls are stuck in purgatory

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

@NBA Bring back the Magic City night you spineless losers!

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

AI Slop Article: Charles Barkley Hits Back at Load Management, Says ESPN Broadcasters Couldn’t Handle Physicality of TNT Sports

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Charles Barkley says the Inside the NBA crew isn’t happy with their lack of appearances on ESPN:

“When I was talking about working all the time, I’m not going to do all these damn shows. I’m not going to be on ESPN 1, 2, 3, Deportes, Nacho, Echo, whatever they call it. I’m not going to be doing all that. But I wish we’d have been on more during the first half of the season.”

@DevonsPicks You sure about that?

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

@DevonsPicks Hey fuck head. He suffered a nasty injury

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

If this games ends 0-0 in regulation, I vote we eliminate them both and have the Broncos and Bills play a rematch

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

Why would you have any player involved in trade discussions?

[NBARetweet @RTNBA]

The Suns have no desire to involve Jalen Green in any trade discussions.

per @BrettSiegelNBA

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

Why he paint Kyle Lowry?

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

@RichStapless @NekiasNBA The first clips is just chef’s kiss of you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

Wait, people pay for Twitter?

This is basically when Gandolf said, “A wizard is never late. He arrives precisely when he means to.” However, Gandolf knew he was full shit

[Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane]

NBA games do start on time, they just don't start at the posted time. Almost every game tips 10-12 minutes after the posted time, which is what teams and networks plan for. It isn't hard to figure out

[N.B. Lindberg @nblindberg]

@JamesPiercey11 Tbf, this is Kevin O’Conner intel. And that mofo had Killian Hayes number one on his board

These Blue Chew ads are getting wild

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

Michael Jordan just said on NBC he wishes he could take a magic pill that would take him back to his playing days. I wish I could take one to take ME back to those days and nights writing and talking about Jordan's Bulls. Never experienced anything like that, before or since.

You could put Draymond on any team in history, and if he’s averaging 20, you’re a lottery team

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Draymond Green says he has no interest in averaging 20 points on a lottery team

“Could I average 20 on a lottery team? I have no interest in doing that. That’s that’s like you want me to go play bad basketball? How about this? I once averaged 15 on the great team…I don’t I don’t know if I have I have that um that mindset anymore. Like, yeah, that’s a mindset that you have to have. And I left that mindset so long ago that I’m not sure that I could even like tap back into that mindset.”
