Man that Meyer's Leonard thing... wild. I've heard my fair share of slurs growing up, especially spending time in the Central Valley of California, but no one around me ever used that one. As a Jew I was familiar with it and aware of it, even its etymological origins (or one theory at least), but never casually.

The fact that he not only used it here, but paused and emphasized is very strange indeed. I wonder if Leondard's a flat earther or Q supporter.

i think he's a "dipshit"

leonard is by background a dumb hick who was clearly searching for a word that would be highly offensive. i doubt he is bright enough to know that this is one of the ones that gets you fired.

ok, I am 12, lol.

meyers is also a famous anthem stander for troops, i dont doubt that he's a big dummy but hes also probably a n*z* just look out if he changes his number to 88 or 14

LaMarcus Aldridge will not be with the Spurs moving forward, per Gregg Popovich pic.twitter.com/5CYUPYi76B

ESPN story with ⁦@wojespn⁩ on LaMarcus Aldridge’s looming divorce with the Spurs, who are optimistic that they will be able to trade the seven-time All-Star instead of buying him out: https://t.co/YkbJDu9TQB

— Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon) March 11, 2021

"He's done everything we've asked," Popovich said. "At this point, we'd just like to do something that will work for him as much for our club, because he deserves that."

Is LMA fully cooked? Or is this as much money-related as production-related?

he is pretty cooked but i think its more that he wants to play for a contender and the spurs are in a big youth movement too

not sure what team could use him and easily trade for his salary, also just seems like he might have a hard time staying on the floor in the playoffs

seems like more of a buyout sitch to me but the spurs are talking like they can trade him idk

i have no idea what the trade would be. he's going to get bought out.

to denver for gary harris and a minor pick kinda makes sense

denver dumps a year of harris salary and get a backup center, spurs get a pick and make their friend lamarcus happy

btw did you guys know the knicks have the lowest payroll in the league, thats a big accomplishment for them

that denver trade isn't bad. depends a lot on your defensive evaluation of those guys.

yeah who knows what the nugs want out of life but it could work matts always complaining about hartenstein on here and they play slow so thats nice for aldridge

yeah. feel like i'd hate to ditch harris just because he could play important defensive minutes in certain playoff matchups, but maybe they don't have the luxury of carrying a guy whose salary is in the high teens just to do that.

lma to portland is a thought

can't really make that work in ye olde trade machine

i scrolled through all the teams who could reasonably be see to have a shot at making the second round and theres a shocking lack of big dead contracts out there

nba teams are maybe a little better at this than they used to be

the summer of '16 cap spike contracts being over makes a big difference

Lma for... Meyers Leonard and some stuff

LA's 3-point shooting improved lately, but he's absolutely cooked on D. he's not happy about playing off the bench but that is his best chance to play. there are some lower seed playoff/play-in teams in the east that could use him in a season-end push (cha, atl, nyk, was).

lol imagine his blue lives matter ass playing for pop

xp

meyers is out for the season anyway, he’s pure salary filler. i doubt he’d even report to whichever team took him on in a trade

lots of racist video game playing in his future

where do you go when you get banned from twitch?

its called dlive, its the app the captitol rioters used

idk a contenderish team that would really have space for lma that isn't gonna be off the bench

too bad the nets just signed blake lol

I support the nuggets tanking this game btw

wilbon was inducted into the HoF? okay

can he even dunk

If the nuggets had Murray it would be defensible to tank, but in this circumstance I don’t like it

So Hawks get the 4 seed due to winning the southeast I think

espn has the knicks at 4

If there is a tie, then head-to-head record is used to determine which team receives the better seed.

If that is also level, then the higher seed goes to the team that is a divisional champion. Should both or neither team be divisional champion, the third tie-breaker is the win-loss record against other teams in their division.

Oh well I don’t think we can fall to 6 at this point

if you look at the opponents for today the top 6 in the east is gonna stay as it currently is. the only team with a game they could lose is the knicks but boston is apparently resting its entire team today

so basically the sixers should have a cake walk into the east finals

hmm are the celtics not capable of giving them a hard time in the first round this year

prob not lol

i mean jaylens out, also they cant play defense

oh right forgot about that completely because i stopped watching the games lol

haa

huh are the wizards really the best team in the east play-in then? fucked up

if the celtics drew the sixers they would have a hard time getting to 100 points in those games

i didn't notice what the wiz were doing the past month, 100% wins or <5 point losses

i haven't kept track, but did the league succeed in making up most of the games postponed due to covid earlier this season?

everyone is getting to 72.

suns-spurs had an insane ending for a virtually meaningless game

it was very meaningful for the spurs who likely got a better draft pick bc of this loss.

could mean the difference between getting jalen johnson and getting keon johnson

Playoff draymond is just a completely different beast

does winning the 9-10 play-in game hurt your draft positioning?

i think your draft position only changes if you make it into the offs but not 100% sure

thats correct

not impressed by ja right now

like the lottery is still the teams that missed the offs by descending record

Ja been doo doo

Jordan Poole turning into a solid 6th man option is a great story for the dubs

I notice the betting line listed by ESPN for Blazers v Nuggets has the Blazers by 9.0. I guess the idea the nuggs will tank the game is conventional wisdom now.

Dubs gonna trick off another game they had in the bag?

Wardell Stephen Curry

i love how steph beats hedges by passing the ball and then sprinting to the three point line while the big is still trying to change direction at midcourt

Guy is relentless

At age 33, Stephen Curry finishes the season averaging:

32.0 points
5.5 rebounds
5.8 assists

56.9%-42.1%-91.6% shooting splits

— Shane Young (@YoungNBA) May 16, 2021

incredible

still the best when he's not hurt

that slash line is just unbelievable

steph should play forever

rough start for the nuggs :))

P sure that 56.9% is just 2s and he's just below 50 on fg%
still, amazing considering the defenses he's been facing this season

Blazers red hot from 3, cool way for that to happen

portland going to score 200 for the second time a week wow

meanwhile the mavs playing their full team are down 18 to the t wolves which would drop them to 6 behind portland

interesting western playoff standings reshuffle going on here in the final few games of the day

clippers won the tank battle

nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

The Clippers rested Kawhi on every b2b this season but this time it was because they were ducking the Lakers? It seems far-fetched to me.

Okay fine, they were ducking the Lakers
