know but does Staples have something going on after tonight? After tonight both the Clippers and Lakers are on the road through the New Year (Clips return on 1/2).I ask because off the rip NYK (tradition) and GSW/Boston (NBA Finals) were going to have home games. GSW/Memphis and Boston/Milwaukee made sense as they were potential conference finals matchups (one of them still is).
Not having ATL @ NYK is damn near criminal but ATL is in the middle of a home-ish stand (5/6 at home) before going on a west coast road trip meanwhile Philly is a perennial contender with Embiid/Harden and they are home tonight so it was likely a scheduling thing.
The last game is a toss-up. Would have to a western conference team at home due to the late tip and you’re basically left with LAC, Denver, PHX and NOP (who they might have had similar injury concerns about as the Clips). They could have done NOP/PHX but the funky scheduling that had them play twice in a weekend and 3x in less than a week made that not feasible. I didn’t mention the Nets because that would require them to go on a west coast road trip which would have had a butterfly effect.
So all things considered, they actually did the best they could and it makes sense how the algorithm and data analysts landed on these matchups. I have to rescind any slander
Edit: I forgot the 2:30 slot which is Lakers at Mavs. That’s truly a tossup because you could do a lot of things. I guess having the old guard vs the new guard and assuming AD was healthy that this was a compelling choice.

in case adam silver is lurking on NT, all i want for christmas is for the warriors/grizz game to be flexed out of the christmas schedule. no one wants to see a team get massacred during the holiday season.

I didn’t know either. Was a big shroom wave when I was in high school in the 1990s, but can’t remember the last time I heard someone mentioning doing them before this thread yesterday.This is an aside but I had ZERO clue that the recreational use of shrooms was this popular

If the others are red these will be the best all star jerseys in the Nike era, but that’s not saying much at all

Jay Mohr deleted his Twitter yesterday because people kept bringing up his old problematic tweets.

The worst part about sleeved jerseys was the fit. Anyone else own one? I copped a Westbrook authenty from Burlington in a 3xl or 52. When I tell you then ****s fit 4 sizes down like when you buy stuff from Wish/Shein/China, damn shirt was taking my blood pressure.

if you ever come to Barrios Fine Mexican in Midtown dont let them sit you in one of these black chairs. With every shift or breathe I take I can feel these legs fighting for their life. I’m sitting but mostly getting a core and quad workout because I am sharing the load in case they give way on your boy. Chorizo queso is fire tho

Sad that in 2022 Jeannie is an upgrade from Mohr’s ex Nikki Cox. Her fall off from her prime is crazy.

Agreed on both accounts. However, I would just say they are in the bottom 3, exactly where they need to be and a lot of teams probably wish they could be in that spot. They will still be terrible but why add a piece that may win you a few more games?

I don’t think there will be as much backlash for the hornets as there would have been if they didn’t do anything when the nees broke. Fans forget.
