As much as I love the antlers (and despite how much I hate the way the NBA Cup and these courts are constructed),

Why not just stylize it like the old MECCA court? The middle of the M going into the trophy would be so clean

The Milwaukee Bucks' new court for the Emirates NBA Cup

Jimmy Butler, as much as I love him, has never given off the impression of someone concerned with the long-term ramifications of his actions

The gambling community takes this very seriously

For what it’s worth…

Pitino coached all three players implicated, and if I had to pick the coach I thought was most likely linked to the Mafia…

I get SGA is the reigning MVP and the guy you want taking the last shot.

He very clearly saw the double come with like 5 seconds left. You gotta give that up

Update: I fucking hate Aston Villa

Currently watching my favorite soccer team lose a match to “Go Ahead Eagles”

He will, and it’s gonna be really stupid when he does with seemingly no repercussions,

But between the gambling probe, the Aspiration stuff, and him continuously putting his foot in his mouth regarding the NBA as a product, I don’t know how Adam Silver survives this season

I love that LeBron ducking Giannis is now turning into a legitimate conspiracy

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 1d

Damon Jones, a friend and former teammate of LeBron James, is alleged to have traded non-public info on a Lakers star missing a 2023 Bucks-Lakers game.

James was the only Lakers player to miss that matchup.

For what it’s worth, the Magic were 34-45 heading into that game with nothing really to play for and the 50-30 Cavs sat all their starters except Dean Wade because they were pretty much locked into the 4 seed no matter what, so it’s not like any of that information is particularly surprising

Mike Vorkunov @mikevorkunov.bsky.social · 1d

NBA tanking comes up in the DOJ's indictment. Information on who wouldn't play in a March 24, 2023 Blazers game and that all Magic starters wouldn't play in April 6, 2023 game — which came from a Magic player with a relationship to a defendant — were used to bet on.

I know Kyle Kuzma gets a lot of shit and almost all of it is warranted, but you can do a whole lot worse than him as a part of your second unit

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 1d

I hope AJ Johnson also has tribute video that’s like “AJ Johnson also used to play here kinda”

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 1d

Bucks are going 82-0

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 1d

AJ Green officially taking Kuz’s starting spot is already a huge development

That’s the best Ime could draw up?

I love that no matter what happens here, the refs were wrong

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 2d

My brain refuses to accept Aaron Wiggins is actually a good player despite plenty of evidence proving it

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 2d

Primetime FVV vs SGA would’ve been my exact type of hoops 💔

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 2d

Some things you’d never realize how big a difference they make until they happen, holy fuck NBC is doing such a good job of building up the atmosphere

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 2d

Showing the player introductions already makes this game feel way more important

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 2d

The low cut suit vest looks really weird when you’re 6’7” 150

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 2d

My opinion on how NBC/Peacock present basketball games will heavily depend on how consistently close they are to starting games on time

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 2d

For what it’s worth, I don’t actually know how useful it is to compare two players from different eras. I mostly made it just because I hate how “Total Bases” doesn’t count all the bases you get and then one thing led to another

Best I can do is tell you league average was around .513 for qualified hitters this year and show you this list of other seasons that I was interested in

dɛriɛn ʤi @dizzlevernetti.bsky.social · 2d

Oh by all means, feel free. I built out a whole excel doc full of stuff if you want to poke around with any of those numbers too (I have way too much free time) 1drv.ms/x/c/5bb6960a...
