sir yes sir

lotta ‘never sold m’scoot stock!’ people coming out of the woodwork who shared PoopScootOnTrike.jpeg on main.

come on now!

shaedon sharpe game? shaedon sharpe game.

I've heard some call it sensitive small town behavior.

idk... if this nonsense happened in new york the response would be the same and they'd call it the mean streets! 'big media market' pressure!

potato potahto. this isn't the nhl, tommy boy.

the blazers shot 4-23 in above the break 3s--a woeful 17.3% clip. fix that and keep the turnovers down and you got a stew goin'.

first play of the game, no foul. wemby you ain't slick.

respectfully robbie, this story is everywhere. last week it was more of a local story, but on a high-wattage podcast like simmons/lowe, they spent more time talking about dundon's 'make me look broke for negotiations' pr campaign than the actual game.

that bruce ely ‘playoff photos over the years’ instagram post is teeming with emotional subtext.

a local blazers reporter shot his shot and got aggregated.

the ‘tom dundon jokes’ news cycle is upon us.

san antonio is tiny too—if you were a casual you probably don’t know the name of a single non-wemby player after watching that broadcast.

(don’t get me wrong wemby is a hilarious cheat code fun player, but the broadcast playbook would be the same if wemby was on the kings.)

#wembycam

jrue drives, chops his steps, scores.
<replay of wemby’s reaction from the bench>
<reggie miller shares a loose framework of a thought about wemby>
incredible camara steal, turnover, scoot scores.
<spurs coach losing his GD mind from sideline>
<wemby nonchalant reaction>
<reggie tries French again>

not nearly enough 2-way towels being waved after made buckets on the bench.

you think I’m joking but 2-way towel wavers are the custodians of vibes. it’s a HUGE deal.

oddly encouraged by the game tonight—portland was <shoot league average from 3> away from being in that game

- only 10 turnovers (they were 16-4 in the regular season when they protected the ball)
- spurs didn’t really have an answer for deni.
- offense generated open looks that they bricked.

I know it goes without saying, but it is insane the difference between the spurs with wemby on the court, and the spurs with wemby off.

wemby has protected status with the league, tiago has to know that by now…

The Stephon Castle Whistle™.

blazers have to feel good that they are within 10 after that terrible shooting half.

they’ve also only committed 3 turnovers.

they’re going to need another couple of tertiary scorers to make something, though; outside of deni the team shot 12-34 from the field.

<every generic nba analyst rn>
‘I’ve been following the blazers all season. deni av-deeja, camera, clingan… they’re going to make life hard for the spurs. It’s one of my favorite series’ of the first round, and I think it will be very competitive.

spurs in 4.’

the blazers are 16-0 when they shoot an EFG of .520 and only commit 14 or less turnovers.

it may not be ‘the’ recipe in the series but it’ll keep them in games.

the current broke boy news cycle is a useful tool just as public partners are asking the ownership group to throw <literally anything> down on the arena or moda district, for their part.

none of this is unintentional.

seeing how portland is handling its imminent coaching vacancy makes one think we’ve seen the last of using the 15th roster spot.

judging by steinscher’s rumored candidates, feels like dundon wants to team up with a coach who has a similar nba outsider vibe as he.

SSS theater (12 games to start the season), but fully fit jrue/sharpe/JG/deni averaged 120.6 points per game, far from the anemic season stats you’ll hear a lot about this weekend.

I still have this badboy:

get ready for rally towels. it’s a ‘canes thing.

said coach could then sell ad space on their quarter zip to supplement the position.

dundon is apparently asking potential new coaches to take the gig as an unpaid ‘for exposure’ move.

You guys hate it now but you're gonna miss the White Lotus music when we're playing royalty free sounds in a playoff game down 2 with 10 seconds to go
#RipCityRunsCheap

will never forget when the shonz shouted out spontaneously, ‘LEAN SIX CITY!’

make ‘em uncomfort—ah nm.
