So TMZ released Ring Doorbell video footage of Oubre coming home after his bike accident. But new twist...so far police haven't been able to find any evidence he was struck by a car?


Spoiler: show/hide
I thought he claimed he was walking home? And they said he was a "pedestrian."

I thought Steve Kerr's comments immediately after Draymond Green's choke of Rudy Gobert were disappointing. This follow-up interview is much better. He calls Draymond out and agrees that the suspension was justified.

I'd be willing to bet the powers that be told Kerr to take a harder stance on Draymond for once. He and the Ws have enabled this stuff from Draymond which has only fed into the problem.

Impressive how quickly he changed his stand.

It’s ok to correct the course, but that journalist didn’t see the initial interview it seems. And that one got a lot of cover, so NO, I’m not impressed with Kerr swinging from side to side on the matter.

I was up too early on this Saturday and found myself watching Euroleague games. Take a look at this guy.

Wasn’t there some kind of misunderstanding a few years ago when that guy tweeted something and a lot of people thought it was our Book?

Yeah, I can recall that as well now. Still caught me off guard at 4:00am.

This is kinda weird. I don't remember the NBA doing this sort of thing when other players had tattoos of brand symbols.

Also, TIL his name is LaMelo LaFrance Ball. The Melo The France.

Would somebody please tell Wemby that you're not allowed to hang on the rim on a dunk if you don't jump?

Also, has much as we go on and on about not drafting Haliburton, why doesn't De'Aaron Fox get the same treatment?

I think it has to do with the information we had at the time. Josh Jackson was a highly-touted prospect and very closely rated to the other top prospects in that draft. He was a consensus top 5 guy.

Haliburton was a a top-5 guy who happened to slip, natural leader, perfect culture fit and we passed on him for a player most had rated in the 25-40 range. I think if we had taken Maxey, Vassell or Bane, people may have been disappointed, but it would have been much more tempered.

Because he's not Haliburton.

Because we all knew at the time that they should pick Haliburton. I think maybe one or two posters have said they wanted Fox at the time.

Flip a coin, IMO. Both are highly effective at getting the job done in their position and role.

Man, watching Sabonis play bully ball… :star eyes: If we had any chance of swapping him for our first ever #1 overall, then screw Sarver.

I think the Pacers are pretty happy they waited it out. They seem to be pretty damn savvy in their deals.

I may be wrong, but I thought Bibby had a Jordan brand tattoo on his arm.
