The draft, free agency and summer leagues are all but gone, so it must be time for NBA teams to fill in the gaps with ... Twitter hashtags. The topic? #NBASitcoms (after a failed #NBAVegetables). Basically, change the name of a sitcom to make it relevant to the NBA somehow. You'll get the picture soon enough.
The Phoenix Suns kicked things off on Thursday afternoon, and they involved the Pistons:
Who's up for a real one, #NBASitcoms? @DetroitPistons @MNTimberwolves @ATLHawks @denvernuggets @Sixers @warriors @trailblazers
— Phoenix Suns (@Suns) July 24, 2014
24 minutes into the game, the Pistons delivered a slam dunk:

My unbiased favorite. (I'm going to pretend they didn't tweet Will Bynum and Grace, which was not only bad, but also unoriginal.)
A few of my other favorites around the league were:
