Half a life.
ESPN Sources: Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka is facing possible disciplinary action – including a significant suspension – for an unspecified violation of organizational guidelines. Discussions are ongoing within the Celtics on a final determination.

Hey Cole, quick question
Do you wear a seatbelt, or would you rather not address a car crash that hasn't happened?
Do you stretch, or would you rather not work on a hamstring that isn't torn?
Do you drink water, or would you rather not deal with dehydration until dehydrated?

I really don't want to give your gross tweet more attention, but I do want to let you know that almost every single person in this industry thinks you are a gutless, spineless, tiny little coward of a man who is awful at his job and at being a human.
“AD didn’t move from his locker for 45 mins. He kept repeating ‘I can’t believe this shit’ as he stared into space.”
LeBron came over to him and told him, “We did the best we could.”

and I get that you don't care. I get that you're gonna go home to your $10M house and sleep in your $10K sheets and shower in money.
But I hope at some point in your life you get smacked in the face by the reconciliation that maybe making the world a worse place wasn't worth it
So it took 7 games for the Nets to prove that they don't care about women or Jewish people. Curious who else they'll add to the list in the next 75 games.
Warriors fans were irrationally hard on Damion Lee. He was a back-of-the-bench player who stayed ready, rarely made bad mistakes, and was a great teammate even when his minutes were unpredictable or gone.
Fans get weirdly angry when great 10th men aren't 6th man caliber
Sometimes when I need a good laugh, I think about the fact that this is the complete list of players to make 12+ threes in an NBA game:
• Steph Curry
• Klay Thompson
• Kobe Bryant
• Zach LaVine
• Donyell Marshall
So many NBA players are defending Draymond, and I'm curious: is it because they genuinely don't think he did anything wrong, or have we found out in a hilarious way that the league hates Domantas Sabonis?
Dirk has played 20 seasons, and in one of them he had a teammate make the All-NBA team.
He belongs in every “how differently would we view him if he had better teammates” discussion. That discussion skips him because he made his teams so good regardless.
Steph Curry missed 18 games, had the worst three-point percentage of his career, and still made significantly more threes than any other player in the league

Mike Breen: “looks spectacular!”
Mark Jackson: “all due respect, I’m not eating that. It’s what I ordered, but it’s not what I want”
JVG: “you know what I don’t get? In some countries they actually eat the placenta after birth.”
Also, Michael Jordan stayed out drinking until the early morning on game nights because that was the best way to deal with his insomnia. And that is totally okay.
Klay, who may or may not be a little toasty: "There was this one guy on the Grizzlies who tweeted 'strength in numbers' when they beat us during the regular season, that pissed me off so bad ... that bum ... twitter fingers, can you believe it? I got a memory like an elephant."
In the last 6 years there have been 8 instances of a player scoring 45 or more points in 30 or fewer minutes. 3 of those are from Steph Curry and 2 of them are from Klay Thompson.
Congratulations to all the NBA media members who magically found their passwords this morning when the NBA announced its return. Was worried about y'all.
All of us who work in basketball profit off of Black culture. We have a job because of Black culture.
Not just the easy bits
Steph Curry is in the worst slump of his career with his worst shooting percentages by far, and still has zero hesitation throwing up an off-balance 60 footer at the buzzer
bless him
Pelicans: “wow, we have so many injuries”
Warriors: “hold my beer”
Pelicans: “hold my beer”
Warriors: “hold my beer”

Warriors: “hold my beer”

2018 Rockets: we would’ve beat the Warriors if Chris Paul didn’t get injured
2019 Rockets: we would’ve beat the Warriors if Kevin Durant didn’t get injured
Every single college athlete missing March Madness is super sad, but I can't stop thinking about Sabrina Ionescu, who passed on being the
#1
pick for one of the WNBA's most popular teams because she felt like she had unfinished business at Oregon.
Now no chance to finish it.
Klay Thompson asked if he understood the preseason hype for the Lakers says, "When you have LeBron James and Anthony Davis, you can say those things."
Hmm.
Apologies for repeating myself, but if you wanted to make the case that Steph Curry is the best basketball player alive I would not really argue with you
Steph Curry is averaging the most points per game of his career and the second most points per 100 possessions of his career, on the highest true-shooting percentage of his career, with the lowest turnover rate of his career

If Looney ever has to pay for so much as a cup of coffee on a road trip, I swear...
Steve Kerr said he doesn't know if Dillon Brooks meant to injure GP2, but says that "He broke the code. Dillon Brooks broke the code. That's how I see it ... the line's pretty clear, you don't club a guy in the head when he's in air and break his elbow. That's where the line is."
