Pacers Hawks reportedly had the highest over/under in an NBA game since 1995 at 252.5. They scoffed at that level of defense, racking up 309 points.
How childish is this?
0-10 scale, Trump being a 10, I’m gonna give it a 7.

Apparently there were two game balls. Just pull out some random ball and say “here it is”.
Giannis and the Bucks just went down a few notches in my estimation if I understand this correctly. EQ of a three year old.
Giannis said he could tell by feel that it wasn’t the right ball…
How many games y’all think indefinite will be? I’m thinking maybe 20.
I have very little sympathy for these professional athletes who behave badly. So I am never upset over a lengthy suspension.
This suspension needs to come with a time machine and be effective a few years ago.

He was a force in the NBA before he messed up.his knee. Not so much afterwards.
Will the 27th time be the charm for the Pistons?
Jews took pride signs to a Jazz/Mavericks game to get the attention of Kyrie. It did and they were asked to put them away. Seems like a snowflake move. Story probably won’t get as much traction as I think it should.
TIL: “Utah rabbi.”
Hell, I don’t even know what Kyrie has been saying or doing to prompt this, so I will read.
Ah, antisemitic posts. OK.
Now, I’m not sure what goes on at NBA Basketball games. Do spectators bring signs? What kind of signs that are typically asked to be put away and which are not?
Or, as The Jazz put it, in what way is an acceptable “use” of a sign at the game?
Like, waving it during a free throw? Is that acceptable?
If there is a policy, it should be posted somewhere. Someone is scrambling right now to add it.
Also, why is Kyrie so “uncomfortable”? You have opinions, so back them up. Be “proud” of your ignorance. Or, meet some Jews and have a discussion. Your choice.
Using his privilege as an NBA Basketball player… sounds more like Karen Irving, amirite?

Here is the Jazz statement linked on X. x.com
So if the sign is a distraction they can make you put it away or take it away if you don’t? Seems a bit arbitrary.
On the Twixter:
So here’s some thoughts:
Um, where these thoughts?? Just posted the Jazz explanation.
Will await said thoughts…
Or not, as it’s Twixter.
Maybe instead every away crowd could sing “Hava Nagila” whenever Kyrie has the ball/is taking a free throw.
It seems to already be a tradition -

Maccabi Tel Aviv
After every home Maccabi Tel Aviv win, the fan group The Gate, which is the biggest Maccabi fan group, start chanting Hava Nagila.

Raptors (rightfully) blowing up their team as they trade the remnants of their 2019 Championship team.
Cross-post with the “RIP in Sports” thread:
Needless to say, the Warriors game vs. Utah tonight is postponed.

Team with second best record in league fires coach.
In the NBA, there is some pattern, I just cannot put my finger on it…
Same with NFL and MLB.
Only the NHL doesn’t fire black head coaches.
