Why can’t we see something as basic as who the home team is in this graphic on NBA dot com?

I’m all for convenience, but, not when the cost of a @DoorDash order is $20 more expensive than just calling up the shop and placing an identical order (to pick-up). And that’s WITH “DashPass” so DoorDash would ordinarily be even *more* expensive. Wild times. 🤯

I can’t believe they’re doing this AGAIN. The AFL have no idea what the fans actually want. 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Healthy NBA players “resting” barely a week into the new season. Travels are worse than ever. Carrying violation is just never called. Egregious flopping and foul baiting. Very, very hard to watch and even follow. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I can’t be the only one that thinks the Lakers will stink this year? I do not understand how they’ve compiled such a terrible roster (and paying $200mil). One Doncic injury and it’s over for them. And they’re still paying Bronny. 🤣 #NBA

I’m looking forward to the NBA being back, but I can already feel the no-calls of blatant travels like this one and regular carrying violations also will annoy me as the season plays out. Not to mention the 3-point barrage 🤯🤭
Hugo Gonzalez got away with a blatant travel. 🤣 teapaw.org/MindOfBron/status/2111…

Why wouldn’t North Melbourne give Lewis Young a call? Costs them nothing, great character for the culture, plug him in that backline and make sure he handballs to Blakey at every opportunity. 🦎

So it feels like the National Draft should be in 7 days from now. But, it’s actually over 6 weeks away which always feels a bit silly to me. Just get it done. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did the Bodie Ryan for pick 107 trade really have to wait until 7:29pm on deadline day to happen? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t even think pick 107 is possible! 👀🤯

OMG Josh Goater and Will McLachlan both traded on deadline day! 👀 Now can someone just remind me, who are they and what teams do they play for? 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is crazy 🤯 Murray is still contracted to the Crows, a trade has not been agreed upon. What the heck is this tweet by @7NewsMelbourne 🤷🏻‍♂️

This trade had not been approved at the time of Cal’s tweet, right? If it wasn’t yet official, you can’t tell me he was fed all these details by the clubs/managers? (And yes I know Cal works on the desk next to Greg Swann & co which probably explains it).
This is the mega deal in its entirety. @AFLcomau @traderadio

Despite liking most of the comedic talent outside of “Cop This”, it’s unfortunately just not that good. Ray O’Leary may be the worst actor I’ve ever seen on any screen. 🫣

Add me to the list of people not wanting Carlton to give any more than pick 23 for Lachie Whitfield. Would be different if he was 28yo, as opposed to 32yo.

As I understand it, free agency compensation is what a club receives for not matching a free agency bid/contract, yet we are about to see a plethora of dodgy side deals between the two teams. I’d almost make it so that the clubs can’t “transact” if a compo pick is accepted.

You’d imagine that if there was ever a situation whereby a bank would actually be efficient, it would be for suspicious card activity. But no. Waiting on hold for an hour. Can only connect to a useless “Virtual Assistant” in the App. So helpful, thanks ANZ. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This was a fantastic episode of The Hoop Collective. Great for basketball in Australia obviously, but handy plugs for the @AFL and @CarltonFC also, given @WindhorstESPN & @BannedMacMahon have 1.25mil+ followers here on X and many, many thousands of podcast listeners! 👏🏼
It was a pleasure to be part of this week’s episode of The Hoop Collective w/ @WindhorstESPN + @BannedMacMahon, in front of a live audience in Melbourne. Was a fun opportunity to bring some Australian basketball conversation to the platform. Check it out. youtu.be/fh_7PCv4bTw?si=hXTI…

Hawthorn, keep your picks and assets. Get Merrett for nothing in 12 months. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Essendon president Andrew Welsh has fired the first shot of trade week, warning Hawthorn not to “get too cute with us again” in negotiations for Zach Merrett. READ 👉 bit.ly/4xZhxva

Finally watched ‘Obsession’. Crikey that was… something! Definitely every bit as good as I had hoped. But I had to offset it by watching ‘Power Ballad’ with Paul Rudd, I really enjoyed that too.
