Trailblazers killing themselves with these missed free throws.

Jalen Duran is a MAN on the boards.

Cade Cunningham picks up a ridiculous sixth foul shoving Sidy Cissoko off him, and then gets a tech for heaving the ball over the stanchion into the stands. Still 8:32 left, Blazers have cut the Pistons lead to 97-89, Detroit has as many technical fouls as points this quarter.

Is this a challenge for Jaren Jackson? He’ll be more than happy to accept.

The New Orleans Pelicans are on a 5-game win streak for the first time since March 2023. Derik Queen is a +65 in this stretch.

Jazz trying to force me to switch to another game. I’m a league pass sicko. I will watch this game out of spite hoping that the Jazz don’t break 60 in four quarters. 🧐😆

Good job, Jazz. You scored. Let’s try playing defense next.

Ok, Utah. If you don’t score, it’s gonna be tough to beat the Nuggets.

During his pregame availability, Rick Carlisle announced his term as President of the Coach's Association ends this month and JB Bickerstaff has been voted in to succeed him

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

The Memphis Grizzlies say Brandon Clarke sustained a Grade 2 right calf strain and will be reevaluated in approximately three weeks.

@chrisherrington.bsky.social 2 Grizzlies made the list. 🐻

The Memphis Grizzlies are signing former Lakers and Raptors center Christian Koloko to a 10-day contract via hardship exception, sources tell ESPN.

WOMP WOOOMP

Mo Gueye meets Ayo Dosunmu at the rim

Mo Gueye from the weak side absolutely *obliterates* a Dosunmu layup attempt after Dyson Daniels got roasted on backdoor cut. Fun times!

See ya next game, Draymond

Although the Timberwolves did not meet one of the criteria (37% shooting from 3-point range), yesterday's story on the formula for beating Oklahoma City proved more timely than I could have expected: www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Six years ago, Ant was shooting 29% on 7.7 3PA/g in college. Now he's shooting 42% on 3's, many of which are high degree of difficulty like this one. I don't even have words to describe how insane that growth is.

LOOK AT ANTHONY EDWARDS

Anthony Edwards on one end, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the other. Fun hoops.

BlueSky really the place to be because I haven’t seen a single post about that fake boxing match all night

This rookie class is incredible. VJ Edgecombe one of many who has a real chance to be awesome.

Tyrese Maxey is having himself a *year*

this is a lot more fun than that other thing going around what thing? pick a thing

Jock Landale and Jaren Jackson Jr both with 20 and 10 performances on the road with no point guards for the Grizzlies. Wow!

he was good at his job, his job was explicitly to destroy things so they'd be acquired and shareholders would make a bunch of money this isn't an incompetent getting a payday, it's the guy who planned the heist getting the biggest cut

The Starbucks CEO made $96 million for 4 months of work. Employees can’t get a living wage. The longest strike in Starbucks history began on Red Cup day. police just arrested a dozen striking employees for protesting outside a distribution centre. Boycott Starbucks. Don’t cross the picket line.

The NBA Cup is awesome

This is just an extremely impressive performance in the second half by Tyler Kolek. Barely saw the floor as a rookie, Mike Brown gave him some runway to start the season, and he's rewarding him in a major, major way right now.

The Knicks are the 2025 Emirates NBA Cup Champions! 🏆

Last one of the year, with feeling: New York Knicks: TOURNAMENT TOUGH

In Zohran Mamdani's America, the New York Knicks just won a championship.

Tyler Kolak is earning less than $2.2M this year. He just won a bonus worth roughly 25% of his entire salary by winning the NBA Cup. And he earned every penny.

Knicks go with a wide pindown for Jalen Brunson. Wemby is waiting in a drop so Brunson kicks. Against OKC, Wemby worked to stay low. Brunson immediately relocates to the 3 point line before the Spurs switch to get a shot.

Adam Silver is "optimistic" there will be a deal on a new WNBA CBA. "We acknowledge that our players deserve to be paid significantly more than they have so far based on the increased success of the league," he said. "It’s just a question of finding a meeting of the minds on what is a fair deal."

this season's leaders for effective field goal percentage

Over the past 10 games, all off the bench, Cam Spencer is averaging 17 points and 5 assists on 64-64-100 shooting splits. So, that's pretty good.

Tonight's Jaren Jackson Jr. is the one we need to see consistently.
