This is a nice putback on its own. But when you consider he did it against the hardest working, best conditioned, most professional, unselfish, toughest, meanest, nastiest team in the NBA? Takes things up a level.
“And I’m supposed to believe Wile E. Coyote’s a villain because why? He’s acting in his nature as a predator of small prey? Is the cheetah a villain because it eats the gazelle?”
Sorry, but this guy can’t guard me. I’m putting up 40 bare minimum. Cooking him on isos. Blow-bys. Taking him into the post. Full buffet. Gonna be a long night for him.

Soon as he walked out in this I got worried. This is something you wear to a Game 7, not a must lose. It’s too powerful an image. A Thunder loss was an impossibility after this.
Some court design news, per sources, because I'm a sucker for that: Mavs plan to unveil a new court that (as you can kind of see here) has the names of every player who has ever played at least 1 game for the franchise -- 337, I'm told -- painted into the baselines and sidelines:
“In the Middle Ages, serfs would use thorns as pencils. They wrote letters in blood. That’s how sacred communication was to them. I think we’ve lost that.”
Among rival teams, there's far more interest in inquiring on Kevin Durant's reaction to Kyrie Irving's trade request and how that may impact KD's future with the Nets.
Pelinka: It’s interesting, I was actually really good friends with Jesus. And Kobe had heard about him and I was always raving about him as just, like, a dude, and one day Kobe said to me, “Set up a meeting.” So I set up a dinner. They had dinner together every week for 11 years.
“Seahorses don’t have stomachs, just a digestive tube. They have to feed constantly. Some adults eat up to 50 times a day. I told the guys after shootaround this morning—tonight, let’s be seahorses. Let’s eat. Males also give birth which is something I’ve always wanted to do.”
Lots to love here. Plays the pauses to perfection. Actually gets a guessing game to break out on live television. But when the pointer fingers are introduced this thing takes off. Used them like he was guiding in planes.
“It’s an interesting question. They speak what is essentially gibberish, & yet, they make us laugh. To me these are films about the limits of language & the enduring power of silliness. I hope they continue to aggressively expand the DMCU. But yes, Bob is my favorite.”
For a guy considered one of the premier trash talkers in the game, Dray's getting roasted here. Tough to watch. From "You thought you was Kobe?" to "You're not tough." When the fastball goes, it's gone.
LEAKED Audio Of Anthony Edwards Trash Talking Draymond Green After A Foul👀:
Edwards: “Ain’t nobody worried about you, bruh… You’re the only one that wanna be tough”
Green: “You’re not tough, n****”
If the NBA’s serious about making some money they should let me pay like $1 to heckle players for a few seconds. Or actually there should be tiers. If you want to heckle the 2nd big off the bench it’s $1 but if you want to heckle Kawhi it’s like $25.
All parents have great post moves. Doesn’t matter if they didn’t when they were younger. Once they have a kid evolution kicks in & they become more adept with their back to the basket. Even if they didn’t play growing up. Something happens. It’s bigger than all of us.
Time is a flat circle
What goes around comes around
What's good for the goose is good for the gander
As you sow, so shall you reap
As the call, so the echo
Curses come home to roost
Every man is the architect of his own fortune
PJ Washington was not happy. Neither was Dame. I was fist pumping like Tiger at Sawgrass. The Thunder have the 2nd pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Let’s homer out.
I wrote a novel. It’ll come out spring 2023. I am very excited. Pumped to work with

Reminder that any Thunder five feat. Jalen Williams, Jaylin Williams, & Kenrich Williams is considered a Trilliams Lineup. Doesn’t matter who the other two are unless one of them’s Chet in which case it becomes a Slim Trilliams Lineup.
From the latest Parker Tyles Show with Thad Roper. Very cool to hear about Thad’s work with Jokic. Can absolutely see the influence. Love his inventive approach.
I think the loudest I’ve ever shouted, “Okay, what is going on?” is when, just now, Mark Jackson said, “Tell you what, these virtual fans for Houston, they showed up for their team.”

I loved Breaking Bad. Walter White is iconic. Michael Scott once cried at a tagline for a movie he made up. “He had no arms or legs. He couldn’t see, hear, speak. This is how he led a nation.” Scott deserves the win.
It's the granddaddy of them all! The championship round of our
#BestTVCharacter
bracket has come down to (2) Walter White, ‘Breaking Bad’ vs. (1) Michael Scott, ‘The Office.'
Who will be crowned champion when it's all said and done???
@RyanWaltersSupt
Whoever runs this account—please tell him how weak he looks, how small. One of the more disgusting speeches of all time. He’s an embarrassment to the state & clearly would rather be in his car. Look how uncomfortable people make him. Longing for an empty sedan. Pathetic.
I'm so excited for Denver vs. Utah Game 7 & to see Jamal Murray vs. Donovan Mitchell! For Denver to win, Nikola Jokić, Gary Harris, Paul Millsap, or Michael Porter Jr. has to step up! For Utah to win, it's on Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, Joe Ingles, or Rudy Gobert to step up.
Chet dropped 23 PTS on 78% from the field and set a Utah Summer League Record with 6 blocks in his Summer League debut!

Used to be strictly a haha guy and still break it out a fair amount but more and more recently I’ve started to incorporate lol into my repertoire. Feels great.
