Victor Wembanyama Injury News: Spurs may have dodged a bullet here as rib contusions don't often result in significant missed time (Average ~1.1 games or 4 days). However, ribs can be tricky to x-ray & I'm betting Wemby undergoes a more detailed exam soon.

For SALT CITY HOOPS I got frustrated about the signings of bullshit players. Bez Mbeng and Andersson Garcia were a waste of our time But then we had to talk about Ace Bailey's scorching month. Things are so, so bright in Utah 🎥: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CROg... 🎵: bit.ly/4vs1QNh 🍎: bit.ly/4sUtJM6

Turned on the NCAA Championship just in time to watch a dude from UCONN shoot the ugliest jumper I've ever seen that completely missed the entire rim I'm gonna go walk the dogs

Well at least CJ McCollum added data to why you just intentionally miss the 2nd free throw if you're up one or two with less than 3 seconds left, and the other team has no timeouts.

I don't like the Bulls firing Karnisovas because that's one fewer Bad GM you can rely on to be a Bad GM. That said, Reinsdorf is the bigger problem.

Michael Malone's last college coaching gig was as an assistant for Manhattan College. sure; okay

Forgot about Jazz-Thunder entirely Will watch later tonight; things I will be looking for: (1) Ace Bailey (2) how the fuck Svi Mykhailiuk got up 14 threes in only 20 minutes, lmao

Why do I feel like this will be the second Washington sports team in a week to issue an apology for a fan promotion

Light the beam, Salt Lake City!

Holy shit Dylan Cardwell eviscerated a Zion Williamson drive and now the Kings are gonna win this game!!! KANGZ!!!

The Kings just took a 3 point lead with 2:30 to play.

Micah Peavy is a rough watch

time to watch the fuck out of Kings - Pelicans

I agree. LaVine should decline his option. Every NBA fan is tired of the daily discussion on espn about the impending breakup between LaVine and the Kings.

I'm not sure exactly how much I care about Ace Bailey getting to the rim next year, but he needs to get to the mid/low paint area where he can use his length for easy little bunnies and floaters that are not technically at the rim Just drove from the left corner into the middle of the lane for two.

Just really, really impressed with Filipowski tonight. I've been slow to accept his improvement this month but he's looking like he Belongs instead of Fake Stats Belongs

imagine how fucked paul hollywood's pronunciation of "paolo banchero" would be

Kyle Filipowski just threw it off the backboard and dunked it himself in the 2nd quarter Welcome to April Basketball

Oscar Tshiebwe has hands made of giant blocks of the grease they use to oil bowling lanes Also his rebounding has been annoyingly poor because it is supposed to be his only NBA skill

The Colorado Rockies immediately reward the home fans by giving up 7 runs in the first inning, featuring an outfielder losing the ball in the sun and missing a pop fly by ten feet.

Obligatory

I'm at Rockies Opening Day; annual reminder that Rockies Baseball could be an absolute SMASH hit and make a risk-tolerant owner a ton of money if they actually tried But the fans will show up regardless and they make enough money, so the ownership approach will always always be 'Why Try?'

The 2020-2021 Utah Jazz would like this version of aggressive POA defense and offensive rebounding Jordan Clarkson, please and thank you

the KANGZ made this post stupid in retrospect 4 spot in the lottery is in play

Like most, I think the 65-game rule should go away, but not because of awards or anything I just wanted teams to stop load managing as much for great matchups and I think the Player Participation Policy + VASTLY improved injury reporting does just enough to get us to a minimally acceptable level

Major issue this year is offensive players getting to barrel into defenders, giving defenders no ACTUAL opportunity to legally defend We can't go back to 90s ball, but my simple and easy solution is that defense like this just should be a no-call. The ballhandler doesn't need this extra advantage.

Jeremiah Fears has been really bad defensively all season, but unlike other guys of his archetype, there is a real effort and attempt to learn know-how than you'd expect. Deploys his athleticism strategically and is willing to try stuff.

Will laugh heartily once New Jersey becomes the dumping ground for Sports Teams That Don't Actually Play Where They Say They Play

Those of you who want politics out of sports: Robert Pera, owner of the Grizzlies, makes his wealth selling drones used for ‘Human Safari’, through anonymous agencies because it is a war crime. The NBA & government know. No consequences. His star player was pilloried for brandishing a gun on IG.

I understand this was the Wizards, but (1) scoring 39 is always hard (2) I can absolutely see the Sixers taking a circuitous route towards playoff competence at precisely the right time

A fan just made the $5000 Qualtrics putt so it’s just a great Jazz night in general

We have reached the Audibly Cackling portion of our Nuggets/Jazz evening

Anyways the Nuggets are up to doing stupid shit against bad teams again and are only up 6 in Utah. Ace Bailey is doing Ace Bailey things and Utah is doing enough new weird shit defensively to frustrate Jokic & Murray

Thank god for Ace Bailey because the end of this Jazz season would be interminable without him

This lineup has no point guard, so indulge me with some humor and give me Point Tshiebwe

Fell asleep to Lakers/Cavs, woke up to Saudi Arabia v Chinese Taipei women's 3x3 basketball for the Asia Cup

Utah's best Nikola Jokic defender needs to rest for tanking reasons

Thread. With prospects, analysis is predicated on HOW they are doing things rather than raw numbers.

Pronouncing SGA like ska

See! Michal Jordan's push-off should have been called a foul!... ...by Scott Foster!

Jaylin Williams and his fucking 'get kind of in the way and fall down' defense is so infuriating

Tie game in Utah vs. the Cavaliers Honestly no real reason to not try and pull off the upset. Jazz are pretty set in their lottery position

The full strength Cleveland Cavaliers only up by 2 in the 4th quarter against the G League Jazz

I'm getting very very close to locking closed the book on Sensabaugh and throwing away the key.

I'm disappointed we don't see Blake Hinson out there as much as we should. Dude is shooting 52% (!!!) from three and has great size and energy. Sure he sucks defensively right now but who doesn't for Utah right now

I feel bad saying this but Oscar Tshiebwe is just a rough, rough watch. One of my least favorite players on the court to watch in some time.

I mismanaged my fantasy basketball championship week horribly but I still have a good chance at getting a title. 9-cat, and I'm up by two threes in the only competitive category. My only remaining player: Nikola Jokic versus: Kristaps Porzingis De'Anthony Melton Peyton Watson
