No problem viewing them with firefox on a laptop here

I'm using Google Chrome, on a desktop. No problems.

These protocols are beyond dumb.  They made all the players get vaccinated so let them play the games.

People want to talk about asterisk rings, then anything beyond 2020 should be considered one until Dobby allows players to play and drops this stupid political theater.

Hey, thanks. 

Twitter messages missing when using a Windows laptop with Edge Browser. Not having the problem when I use Chrome on the same machine (should have tried that sooner... my bad).

I am also using Edge and I have no problems

The crazy part is if you look at the latest study published in the New England Journal of Medicine you start to wonder what's the deal.

353,326 people that contracted COVID, from mild to severe cases.  They subtracted the 87,547 that then got the vaccine after the initial infection, so out of the other unvaccinated 265,779 that also got reinfected, only 1304 even got COVID a second time...of the 1304 that got it a second time, only 4 required hosptializations...no ICU required for any and no deaths.  They didn't report the hospitalizations, ICU and deaths for the 87k.

Time to burn this team to the ground.

KP is gonna miss a few games I'm sure. That guy can step on a bottle cap and get hurt, sheesh.

Mavs literally have Carlik Jones on the Legends who balled out in almost every game he played in pre-season. What gives?

They were saying on one of the pods that he has an ankle injury. FWIW.

Guess so.

Sucks because I think he'd actually provide a consistent spark off the bench.

Maybe, although I don't think it would be via the replacement player vehicle. 

I don't think teams are signing these guys with the thought that they are going to be season-long contributors, or even that they are going to play at all except to fill in in an emergency. My understanding is that these are very short-term contracts, and that for one of these players to be promoted to the regular roster would require waiving another player if the roster is already full, as in the case of the Mavs. 

I think the idea is to prevent forfeits and shutdowns due to teams' not being able to field enough players, moreso than to provide an influx of talent.

I need to give my boy Josh some love. After the Mamphis game, when he got more minutes, one could really see, that he made some improvements to his game. I always belived in his shot, so it's nice to see that he takes(it's nice to see the veterans giving him advice midgame when he doesn't)makes those now.

But let me focus on defense. He made some improvement in 1-on-1 defense(he gave Westbrook, Shai and others a hard time), he got better in going through screens, and he has shown some progress in team defense(that is his biggest weakness as of now IMO. He tends to overhelp sometimes and that makes the defense to collapse. And sometimes he just doesn't help/rotate, but he really made some progress here).

I was really a broken man when I saw that he is in protocols... He could really get some playing time now.

Yeah, there are minutes available for these youngsters. What a time for them to turn into a couple of freaking buttercups.
