It didn’t feel by design to me. Raps felt overmatched without Scottie, who left due to injury

• Cavaliers finish top 4
• Magic finish top 4
• Grizzlies finish top 4
• Clippers don’t make the playoffs

I’d like to take this moment to congratulate the Raptors on their uniquely purple court. Raptors fans are going to have to try to find wins this season wherever we can 😅

That top left is TWolves. Not pretty

Maybe the only highlight was that Chris Boucher had a very good game

Fair enough. I don’t disagree with your point, and I didn’t know he broke an actual policy. I just think the status quo is dumb. But I also might not know enough about the League’s current policies, etc 😅

I’m not really an Embiid fan. But I think he’s in the camp with Kawhi of guys that have such a long track record of injury-proneness that I give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to load management type stuff. I don’t think him saying that he might not play a back-to-back again should be scandalous.

I think the league ought to clarify what their redline issues are and what the consequences are. Otherwise, I think players have a right to health and teams have a right to being strategic (e.g, rest Embiid in the regular season for playoff availability)

This Choclair half-time show is dope

All Cavs so far. 30 points in the paint in the 1st half. 20 point lead

Knicks are their only threat for #1 spot. But yeah, Celts vs Thunder in the finals? I’m in. Re: Celts, It’s been a while since a team ran it back successfully the next year, even past the semis the 2nd year

I didn’t watch, but Celts feel like a lock for #1 in the East. Not a hot take, but it’s been a while since you could call it so early

Good on ya!

I saw a white walker mobility device by a road in Toronto today, to mark where someone with a walker would have been struck by a car and killed. I’ve seen multiple white bikes before but not a walker

Thanks for spreading the word about this. I wasn’t aware. What an unfortunate development. I’ve never encountered mandatory FR in Canada, thank goodness

Bless the EU

Thank you! I updated it. Maybe I screwed up the YT URL the first time, because I didn’t get a thumbnail automatically. So then I uploaded a thumbnail image, and I think that overwrites the URL

:D I know, right? I saw it on Mastodon (link in post) and had to pass the chuckles on. I don’t usually share stuff like this

I’m curious to see what they do with the design of the floors for the in-season tournament. They have a corporate sponsor now, so that in itself probably means they’ll be less ‘busy’ this year.

Speaking of floors, I really liked the LED court at the all-star weekend. It wasn’t used that much. I believe they used it to indicate which rack players in the 3-point contests selected as their extra-points rack. I think they had some stats or visuals presented on the floor another time; I think maybe some special effects type stuff around breaks in play, perhaps. My memory’s rusty lol. But they didn’t use it much. I’d kind of like to see ‘power up spots’ appear on the floor during the all-star game, at least until we get a competitive and fun to watch ASG

I love it! 😸

There’s got to be a better way of saying that. I love Tobias, and Michael, and Arrested Development
