Pistons got a nice team, which is cool to see. Detroit Tigers are shaping up too. Nice time for Motown sports

I watched most of the game on the Knicks TV broadcast, and as a Raptors fan I really enjoyed the 2 broadcaster. Nice broadcast

Jalen Suggs left due to back spasms. I’ve never had back spasms or known someone that has. But I could tell he was in so much pain on the TV broadcast without sound on. He was basically closing out on someone, falls down (no contact), and is grimacing on the floor. Huddle around him as he’s on the floor. 3 minutes later he’s assisted into standing position but can’t support himself at all. Leaves the court being wheeled in a wheelchair, a towel covering his face as he’s crying/cussing - whatever. Wow. Back spasms some serious shit

I like IQ’s on-court celebrations, like skipping. Or binoculars after dropping a dime. He’s not doing it to anyone, like ‘too small’, but just being joyous. RJ’s great - I know him from Team Canada.
OG was my favourite. It’s nice to see him doing well, and being recognized, in NYC. Precious too. He seems to be playing more within his game and shining brighter now.
It qualifies as a mutual win; you’re totally right. I want to see how Quickley looks. Right now, I think the Knicks fared a little better, but if Quickley plays like a top 20 point guard I’d re-evaluate

IQ (Immanuel Quickley) is back! I love his signature skipping celebration for its uniqueness and playfulness

I love the way Raptors TV pbp announcer Matt Devlin says “three” when a player on the Raptors makes one. It’s really “throat-y” lol but it hits

Jordi Fernandez is the hottest (most attractive) NBA coach

In the last 3 games including this 1 the Raptors have set 3 franchise worst records: most points given up (155), most turnovers, and biggest point difference in a loss. 11-game losing streak. Will they break it on the want-to-tank Nets?

Per the article, half of Eastern Conference teams would need to sign onto this, which experts don’t think will happen any time soon. Given that additions of Las Vegas +1 other team are obviously on the league’s horizon, I could see this 1-16 seeding and possibly re-allocating a couple teams to different conferences happening with the expansion to 32 teams

2 30-year old franchises playing each other ☺️. I love the Vancouver Grizzlies logos from Memphis. Raptors are in purple but not dino jerseys unfortunately.

So far:- Wemby (42 points)
- Mikal Bridges (41)
- Kyrie (39)

Underdogs are feeling frisky on Christmas!
It’s weird that 0 and 00 are two different jersey #s.

Nice close game so far!
I know he’s slender, a star, and the current NBA is obsessed with 3-point volume, but it’s wild how far from the bucket Wembenyama takes his shots from

I think FVV is a great player and dude, but man I remember his games as a Raptors when he’d drive a lot, never pass, and rarely make a bucket. I don’t miss those
- Comment on [Game Thread] 22 DEC 2024 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t expect this depleted Raptors squad (no IQ, RJ, or Poeltl) to be so frisky and competitive against the Rockets, a much better team. Down by 1 going in the 4th quarter 💪

I think we have different styles of estimating uncertainty. But on c/NBA we’re all united by our passion for basketball :)

We won’t know for sure, but your statement can be used for owners of all kinds to evade responsibility for all kinds of shady stuff. They control decision-making and the budget though, so I’m content to include them as a responsible party here
- Comment on Silver: NBA looking into 3-point volume critiques 4 weeks ago:
Think the best solution is to allow more defense on the perimeter.
How is it not allowed?
I’m not too knowledgeable about Xs and Os, but I’ve heard that teams haven’t really learned how to guard the 3 line that effectively since this new offensive paradigm of basically only paint points and a ton of 3s took over (defensive strategy is lagging behind).

NBA owners are cheap as fuck. They pretend to gift a PS5 to a fan so that it looks like they’re doing it in the arena and on TV and then they take it back later once the cameras are turned off. gtfo

Between the 2 Canadians on the Thunder, SGA gets so much of the spotlight, but I love Lu Dort!
