Good comeback win for the Celtics before starting a post-Christmas road trip. Boston is in a really good place right now. Jaylen Brown has been awesome. Early shooting slumps are over. Bench guys have stepped up and taken big roles. Team has come together very nicely.

enjoy things while y’all can, dorks.

I was not ready for the “Buzelis reminds me of offensive Andre Iguadala” from @robmahoney.bsky.social. His feel for the game was leaps and beyond what Buzelis’. He was way better of a ball handler, better at getting to the rim, and a more powerful finisher as well. I don’t see the comp, man. 😬

Here is the list of teams Steven Adams has been on since his sophomore season, as well as their league rank in offensive rebounds per game.

I think a good NBA Rorschach test is Jalen Johnson vs Franz Wagner vs Deni Avdija. All three of them are these powerful “shovel-dirt-on-ya” forwards, and I believe your choice between these three reveals what nuances one values in a really good young player. Who would YOU like on your team? #NBASky

KNICKS WIN THE CUP!!!!

Look, Kolek has been +11 and Bridges is -10. You just let it roll if you’re Mike Brown.

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.

Why is the ball not finding Fox??? This just has been back to back to back bad offensive process for the Spurs down the stretch.

BABE. Wake up !! New facepalm meme just dropped!

2 quick back to back fouls for KAT.

Bring back Wemby, damn!

Stephon Castle has grown so much as a ball handler and an initiator. What a find for the spurs.

Puts the Knicks up by 3!

To the people who said teams wouldn’t take NBA cup seriously, Knicks and Spurs are playing 8 and 9 guys each. #NBASky

CASH!!

WEMBANYAMA!!

They did mic up Mitch Johnson? Why do I hear everything he’s saying all of a sudden? #NBASky

Mitchell Robinson needs to be back out there for the Knicks. Wemby is eating them alive.

Narrator: “the spurs never lost from here”

Kevin Porter Jr vs Jaylen Brown duel. Like we all thought.

The Thunder need to go 50-8 the rest of the way to match the Warriors 73-9 regular season record.

Payton Pritchard is shooting 64.2% this season on non-restricted area paint shots. It's the best percentage among players who have taken 50 or more of those shots.

I thought it’d be bad. It’s so much worse than I thought.

fifa is kind of the donald trump of international organizations when you think about it

This is insane, man.

Thanks, @yourmandevine.bsky.social and @samvecenie.bsky.social. I knew you beloved in me.

Raptors have won 9 straight for the first time since February 2020, 7 straight at home for the first time since March 2023 & 13 of their last 14 games. Most impressive? They've won each of their last 5 clutch games. 7-2 in the clutch this season.

@howardbeck.bsky.social the Ringer NBA feed is going crazy on Apple Podcasts for some reason. The real ones pod that came out 4 days ago has been posted again. The same with Group Chat. Everything is being posted twice for some reason.

As I say always, most confounding questions in life comes down to one simple question—which one do you think is the bigger problem? Do you think men raping women is a bigger problem, or do you think false accusations against men is a bigger one? Get your priorities straight, people.

General Illness was one of the most underrated Wu affiliates. Had a couple of great verses on that first Sunz of Man mixtape.

How did Mark Cuban go from claiming control of basketball ops after the Mavs sale to having no more say than any other season-ticket holder? And how much juice has Cuban regained now? My ESPN story explains: www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

perfect. 10/10. no notes.

donkey tries to bull my Wemby, gets posterised instead

Sheesh

I've thought about this for a long time, and I'm prepared to go out on a limb and say it. The Thunder might be good.

Wake up babe. It’s LeBron’s season debut. Yes, he’s in the G-League now.

All timer from Howard here. “…his four-year run in Dallas will stand as his NBA résumé and his legacy for all time. The Luka trade will forever be the top line. It will be written in ALL CAPS, boldface, and in a very harsh font. No one will ever forget it. Mavericks fans will never forgive it.”

but worry not bsky.app/profile/vasu...

of course jb didn’t box out 😭😭😭

is the rescue all star game campaign started yet? just askin.

It’s been almost 10 months since the Luka-AD trade, and it still feels surreal. Nico getting fired still doesn’t undo what he did. This man tanked the entire franchise one fine evening. Hard to feel pity for a man who paid the price of Luka for this pity of a team now.

The Mavericks are firing Harrison nine months after the jarring and stunning Luka Doncic trade – a move for which Dumont took accountability and accepted as a mistake in a court-side interaction with a fan on Monday night.

Well, do we need to find this out?
