The Knicks had like four consecutive possessions to hit one of those "oh shit, they're coming back" shots to get within 4-5 and I'm not sure the ball touched the rim.

I want this guy to stay healthy so badly.

I'm sorry but we as a nation should be making way more fun of Steph Curry for fucking crying after Draymond was ejected (again!) than we currently are.

Here’s a stat.

Games with 5+ REB, AST, BLK and 3PT FG made:

Victor Wembanyama - 2
Everyone else in the history of the NBA combined - 1

Believe it or not Robert Horry in 1996.

Here's another one I like:

Players with 20 PPG/3 APG/3 BPG seasons:

Kareem (7)
Olajuwon (3)
Robinson (3)
Shaq
Lanier
Ewing
Wemby

Lanier was the previous youngest to do it, at 25. If you raise the assists and blocks to 3.5, it's just Olajuwon, Kareem, and Wemby.

ETA: Also, the minutes per game on that first list range from 44 to 36.5 and then Wemby this year is 29.6

I had no idea one could place prop bets on an individual player's performance in a single game. That's just begging for crookedness, especially in the NBA.

Hopefully the feds will investigate everyone Porter dealt with. You know he's not the only one to take a dive to help someone win a bet.

(But it sure was funny when that guy deliberately missed his free throw so the fans could get chicken.)

I feel like this was an issue that was raised in some NCAA games or teams as well. Maybe?

Yeah I was shocked you could bet on player props for the NCAA tournament.

Posted: **Wed Apr 17, 2024 12:30 pm**

This is going to be an even bigger mess when its not a player trying to make money for himself or friends but is completely innocent and seriously threatened.

Aside from potential turnover situations, the Knicks shouldn’t call a single timeout in this series and see just how gassed they can leave Embiid.

The team that took out Julius Randle in a blowout loss might have also tried to take out Tatum in a blowout loss? Who would believe that?

Posted: **Mon Apr 22, 2024 8:48 am**

Cs fan but I think he got pushed by Holiday which made it worse

Posted: **Mon Apr 22, 2024 8:49 am**

The Heat are just gritty and play basketball the right way.

My guess is he took a minimal push as an excuse to run into Tatum. The push gives him deniability, but if that was one of his teammates in the air, he would have managed to avoid hitting him.

Posted: **Tue Apr 23, 2024 10:38 am**

I can't believe I turned it off the Knicks once they were down 4 and just fouled. At least I did get to see the Canes comeback.

The guy is running to the rim for an offensive rebound. Gets shoved with two hands by Holiday such that his body leans forward and weight gets out in front of him. Regains balance but still jumps for rebound and undercuts Tatum. Could be that he always intended to body Tatum without the push he jumps a step earlier and hits Tatum higher on his body and its just like every other fight for a board.

Romero's point is dead on and applies to so many things ("incidental" open ice collisions in hockey, Rudiger on KDB, etc) ... no one is arguing there wasn't add'l contact or that it was a fully controlled move, but "could more have been done to avoid the contact if it was going into a teammate rather than an opponent". I'd argue he felt the push and used it to go barreling knowing he's covered.

I cannot imagine what happens if a Knicks player does that to Embiid.

Posted: **Thu Apr 25, 2024 7:36 pm**

Cameron Payne looks like he’s standing sideways when he shoots a 3. That’s what I do when I’m drunk and I play darts and I suck at darts.

Which play? The leg grab while laying under the basket? Or the oops knee to the groin?

Posted: **Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:19 pm**

Leg grab on the guy with the surgically repaired ankle.

Posted: **Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:30 pm**

And now he’s out. Just put a foot under Embiid on his next jumper and call it even.

Posted: **Sun Apr 28, 2024 2:34 pm**

Want the Knicks to win the series but the Sixers to win this game so there are 3 more games.

Posted: **Mon Apr 29, 2024 11:18 am**

I don't watch hardly any regular season NBA games...but pardon my ignorance on this....but holy shit Anthony Edwards is bonkers good.

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2024 8:14 am**

The Porzingis injury looks concerning but that was the risk of getting him. The Heat "accidentally" hurt Tatum after the whistle, but that's the risk of playing against the Heat. Meanwhile, Stevens is looking like a genius with the Derrick White trade.

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:25 am**

Don't play against the Sixers either because they'll intentionally injure but still get the benefit of the doubt.

If nothing else, these playoffs have reminded us of what a banger 25 Or 6 To 4 is

As part of the brass section of a HS band that played at football games I’ll never forget. That and Vehicle were the most fun to play.

But I don’t like the shortened (Reacher instead of The Boys) version of that commercial where the dad doesn’t get himself laid.

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:31 pm**

Not gonna lie, I really think it woulda been nice to see the shots of Ewing, Latrelll, and Sting after the Maxey 3. You know, just for balance.

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2024 9:40 pm**

The picture of Jon Stewart after the shot was pretty great.

Wild that Maxey and Harris carried the MVP through an elimination game.
