Strangely my tweets are loading so far this morning.

As someone on mobile, i prefer it when you folks cut and paste tweets. Otherwise it can take a bit of time to load.

Some take longer than others, I haven't figured out why because some will be just a couple words and a take a minute while some will load in seconds with videos.


Do what's easiest for you all, I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in.

It's nice to get feedback.

One of the problems is a lot of tweets include video and pictures so it's hard to give the full content when they do this. This seems to be a growing trend.

When they are simple tweets, it's not hard to do. I will try to do it when I can.

NBA referees will be trained to properly officiate the following actions used to draw fouls: - Shooter launches/leans into defender at abnormal angle - Shooter kicks leg at abnormal angle - Offensive player abruptly veers off path (sideways/ backwards) into defender

So. Will those be considered offensive fouls now or just non-calls--they say "or" but that leaves a lot open for judgment. If they actually get rid of fouls called for the reasons above, I will be ecstatic. It will lead to lower scoring games though.

I'm all for getting rid of ticky-tacky fouls created by players on offense like James Harden and Trae Young.

I'm really surprised by the quality of players expected to participate on U.S. basketball this summer.

I am too. Especially Durant. Don’t really like the guy but respect him for playing. Harden too.

Im really surprised Harden is committing. I really doubt his hamstring will be completely right in a month.

Yeah. I thought there would be less participation by U.S. stars going forward especially with the shortened and compact NBA season.

So apparently Magic said Lakers should go after Chris Paul.

Since LA is his home, and he is friends with Lebron, this could legit happen if they can fit him in cap wise - which I think they can.

Yep, they are the masters of drawing those fouls. Really glad to hear they're cutting down on them.

Haven't seen this in 10 years. Its....so....beautiful...:*)

All that losing and tanking and still only a 14% chance.

Shocked to see Paul playing.

interesting thing is it’s so guard heavy. Not a lot of bigs.

If you were CP3 would you trade this roster of young thoroughbreds for that roster of aging broken dow vets?

the Suns will pay him the money, and taxes are cheaper here.

I would hope he would stay here. If he retired at this moment what team would be tied to his legacy. If we win a title I would think he would finish out his career here and be tied to us.

I had this horrific thought a couple days ago.

if you could live with your family year round, make a ton of money and play with one of your best friends who’s still a beast and challenge for a title, that might be pretty tempting. Especially if we don’t win it this year.
