Missed Towns obviously, free throw shooting and defense was gross. Precious looked good, Sims is a brutal watch.

Is there any point to the NBA Cup? I just learned about it today and was like WTF is this? I guess just a mid-season cash generator + distributor? Does the 4 Nations tourney kind of exist because of NBA Cup? If so, why did they go with the weird country format? I guess it replaces the stale stale stale All-Star format we have? But it really screws non-4-Nation players and takes up extra days in the season so it's really quite inferior IMO.

NBA adopts pickup style tournament to replace All-Star game: Will it revive the league's beleaguered All-Star weekend?

Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith will serve as captains. One perennial All-Star has already weighed in on the format: 'I hate it.'

No and they just took away the All-Star game for pickup games.

I read that the games are part of the regular season standings so that would make them no pickup games, right?

The AS games will be pickup games. They don't count in the standings. I posted a link.

Ok, I'm asking about the NBA cup. Nothing to do with All-star pickups. There is a finals for the cup between Milwaukee and OKC. Winning team players bank 500k each. It's live tonight.

The NBA Cup group games are also regular season games and count in the standings. So are the quarters and semis, with modifications made to the schedule accordingly.

The championship game doesn't count.

Hornets apologize after pretending to give child PS5 and taking it away off camera

Unbeknownst to the kid, the Hornets were only pretending to give him a console.

Franchise worth billions can't give a kid a PS5, pretends to gift it, and then takes it back off camera? Sad.

New York basketball once again beating Minnesota's ass

 

[MysticLeviathan]

when the knicks are on, they are a juggernaut. they have way too many stinkers sadly. they have the capability to go very far in the playoffs

 

[17futurecap]

It's hilarious how much more fun the Knicks are compared to the other team that plays at MSG.
