Older Atlanta slang. Big boi from OutKast and TI use to use it a lot. It resurfaced probably within the past 3-5 years and is mainstream now

Compounding this is they always have multiple guys on the court who are exclusively looking to pass the ball no matter how much space they have
This mindset is killing them right now. They have two dudes on the court at all times who think like this.

I know a guy who is dying to shoot the ball anytime he touches it. He can rebound, too.

Dude doesn’t even want to be a THREAT to score
Draymond has a slick way of trying to absolve himself from having scoring responsibilities. What about the times when Steph’s not in the game or when Steph’s hurt.
Draymond had the key for a whole season and folded. Didn’t even want to play. Draymond knows how to duck from issues

Wonder if the league will make some tweaks to the IST going forward. The players & coaches don't seem to like the point differential tie breaker but not sure what else they could do there.
Because the Knicks got the wild card spot, they will have to play the Bucks & potentially Celtics five times this season while the Heat (I think) got the Raptors & Hawks for their two flex games. Since all the games count towards your record, I wonder if a team would value two easier games more than IST contention.

He & Hawkins are gonna be bombing away
Hawkins & Murphy = the splash nephews
Things looking up for the pelicans.
Zion balling. Ingram looking like a legit 1.
CJ and Trey back. Watch out.

It was written y’all.
I was lowkey criticized during my mid year review for me and my teams spending. I been traveling a **** ton this fall and have made a point to stay at Holiday Inns.
The worst part about business travel is receipts over $75 because you can’t always have some else procure them. So I called the IHG line and the woman was super nice. She then asked me if I wanted to talk to someone about vacation packages. I politely agreed. Dude said I was a new and valued member and they have 12 resorts around the country that they wanted to invite me to. $250 for four days - not per night but total and you get a refund at the end
Vegas was one of them. I was hesitant at first but he dropped it to $199. I had to cop for next week. I been conjuring up fake business trip scenarios all day and figuring out who is going to be the fall man that I said I stayed over the weekend to hang with
I can actually change and do something nice with my girl in Williamsburg,VA, Myrtle Beach, SC, NOLA or take the famb to Orlando (I’m allowed 4-8 guests) but there is too much writing on the wall here with the timing.
Bron and BBLs? Phoenix and PAWGs? Too much to turn down.

How you liking it up north? I gotta make it to the bay in 24Related to use of slang, my new job in NorCal has had the indirect result of putting more frequently in proximity of much younger people because: (1) my apartment up here is basically on the Santa Clara University campus; and (2) I take the bus too and from work a lot in an effort to reduce my personal carbon footprint and County of Santa Clara employees have access to a free public transit pass.
It’s wild and hilarious to me how teenage/20-something girls use the word “bro” these days. Was next to a group of girls on the bus, probably like 14-ish, they talked to each other like me and my male friends did in junior high and high school
And yes everybody is “bro” to the yougins, it’s weird to me

this really is a whole lotta nothing coming from james dolan who's basically salty that masai ujiri fleeced him multiple times over the years. dolan is just further eroding trust throughout the league

Just go by the current standings in the league like Candace suggested. Would probably have to move it back a couple weeks though.

as the ist evolves i think it'd be great to incorporate other incentives aside from cash like perhaps an automatic playoff spot, eligibility for first round draft pick, contract amnesty, free kia electric vehicles

I had this discussion in the group chat Tuesday, but the slang terms for guns >>>>>>
Blicky stands alone at the top followed by all references to tools and household items (the word tool itself, ratchet, hammer, etc)
Even shorthand for guns is fire. If I say I got a 9 everyone knows I have a gun.

They're the Kings/Jazz of previous seasons going to be fraudulent when it counts most.

Group it by divisions to further prioritize/emphasize division importance. Makes it easier to know who's in which group for the average fan too.
And maybe instead of point differential, I've heard go by quarters won instead. Winning team at the end gets a half game bump in the standings. Yes it'll look weird at the end of year standings, but that's a juicy prize to go with the prize money.
