    Part of me thought he might be within striking distance after 2. Then the weekend didn’t go so well, and Sunday was not bueno.

    Jordan’s biggest hurdle seems to be the head game, and keeping it together for 4 rounds.

    I feel for him. He knows what he’s capable of, but something isn’t clicking. 

    He doesn't hit the ball well enough

    Of course we should. But beyond maybe some hand wringing, posting on message boards, and talk show commentary no one really cares enough to really do anything. Because what really drives the bus is people want to see the star player play. See Green, Draymond. The NBA is what it is.

    Is Jamal Murray really making that big of a difference in the ratings? Draymond was suspended. I dunno. You have to punish this stuff. There has to be a deterrent. The next time something like this happens they will suspend the player and it just makes your league look kind of like a joke. Hurts credibility.

    Does anyone really care?

    We should. What antics will happen now that the message has been sent that you won't be suspended for being a shithead as long as you're a star player?

  4. Not a good look for the NBA that they will suspend someone or not based on how important that player is to the series. Really, really bad look.

  5. I definitely felt like I was taking crazy pills when the TV people acted like Denver was a shoo-in, or that this would be a dynastic type of run for them. They deserved to be favorites but there were a lot of alarm bells that people should have been paying attention to from that Lakers series.

    Are you sure I never cared about black people?  If I’m using them I guess the governor of New York is also using them.  Come to think of it everybody uses blacks as political pawns one way or the other.  I guess if I was running for president I wouldn’t ban menthol cigs just yet.  
     

     

     

    Dance, little bitch. Dance!

    Fucking stop this stupid shit. Most playoff games (not this one) are won in the 4th quarter. When you suck shit through a straw when it matters the most, you are absolutely not "the better team most of that series." You built up an empty calories lead on a team that is supremely confident that they have your number.

    I like the Lakers chances in that series if they could guard the 3 point line, like at all. How many wide open 3s did Michael Porter shoot? It was the entire series, nobody wants to guard the other team's best 3 pt shooter? That's why I laugh when people say they "scapegoated" Darvin Ham, as if he is completely without blame for them underachieving. 

     

    The Wolves almost make it look too easy, great rotations defensively and hardly ever allow wide open looks from 3pt land. You can see the disappointed body language for them defensively on the rare occasions where they allow an open 3pt shot. They are just operating on a different level with a much higher standard right now with their defense.

    Pat Riley chose violence today.

    1. Butler isn't getting a contract extension, needs to keep his mouth shut when he's not on the court, and needs to play more games in-season.
    2. Herro needs to work on his nutrition and conditioning.
    3. Spo doesn't know what he's doing on offense of defense. 

    I'm sure Butler in particular will just let those comments slide.  Might as well trade him for peanuts now before he torches your franchise.

    Just saw that. He also called out Udonis Haslem for speaking out of turn.

    If you don’t trust him why give him 180m?

    Desperate and didn't want to go into next year with Heinecke?

  10. Penix was rising fast. The Raiders absolutely were gonna take him, that's been confirmed I think. I dont understand the handwringing personally. All we do is constantly talk about how important the QB position is. If you see a guy that you think is a franchise QB sitting there at 8 you take him. Why are we acting like Kirk Cousins matters, at all? Coming off the achilles, old, less playoff wins than Dak. Yeah let's just totally trust him guys. And as far as paying him so much, who cares about that either? Figure out the money later.
