  1. All three of tonight's games have double digit point spreads. If all three series end tonight, going to make the schedule weird for the rest of the week. 4 games Wednesday, 0 on Thursday, potentially 4 on Friday. I assume they'd start Boston/Philly and Denver/Phoenix on Saturday to avoid having zero games again.
  2. Two years ago, I would have completely agreed with this. Not anymore. Even if DeSantis can pull out the primary, MAGA is already being brainwashed to hate him. They obviously won't pull the lever for Brandon, but they'll stay home on election day in support of their cult leader. The GOP can't win national elections anymore without the MAGA contingent.
  3. You know, if George Soros was real person and not just Mad Libs for antisemites, he would pay Tucker more than he was making at Fox to take a job at CNN on the condition that he plays the most bleeding heart, woke, LBTGQ+ ally in media. He absolutely would because it's not like he has principles. In my mind, it would be funny to highlight just how easily conservative icons/grifters are bought and paid for. In reality, it would just ignite ever more conspiracy stories.
  4. You win that round. Decades of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh has definitely proven that the conservative marketplace for telling people exactly what they want to hear--and absolutely nothing else--ad nauseam is much more lucrative.
  5. You're going to have to be more specific.
  6. The very real thing of defenses not letting opponents see the ball go in after the whistle in the playoffs will always be fascinating to me. Anthony Davis has been hopping around like a bunny to block meaningless shots and catch threes in mid-air.
  7. That's his laugh??? Mother of god, I wish I had never heard that.
  8. True story: no one any of us know has ever watched a single episode of Tucker Carlson. They just like some of the points he makes occasionally. Or respect him for being willing to go against the grain. But of course they don't actually watch him. Never. It's the crazies who made it the #1 show. Yep, that's what we're going with.
  9. As much as I'd love to pile on Minny, talk about an encapsulation of NBA basketball in 2023. Down 12, score 11 points in 4 possessions with two dudes over 6'10" hitting 3 threes. No lead really feels safe.
  10. x2 taking a shot with 14 seconds left. Really bad.
  11. Steph just did his best Chris Webber timeout impression. Not quite the same stakes though.
  12. Can't tell what combination of great offense and so-so defense these two teams are playing, but it's really fun to watch.
  13. Guys, is Twitter.com still up, or is it not? Game. Set. Match. \Mullet Free
  14. In principle, I don't mind superimposed ads on the playing surface in-game. Not much different than a giant sticker next to the arena name. But there's no size consistency to the virtual ones. One time down the court it's a long, thin "Hisense", the next it's a big, blocky Fast and Furious logo. Distracting.
  15. Are the superimposed ads on the court during game action a new thing this year? Because I fucking hate them.
  16. Yeah, when it comes down to it, there's not a single team that would rather face them with Ja in the playoffs than without. They'd happily take their chances with the other guys. If Bane and JJJ combie for 55 and beat you, you shake their hands. Memphis wasn't particularly good in Game 2; the Lakers were just awful (some of that was defense, some was just dude missing shots).
  17. The sample size is definitely growing to make a decent case that they're better without Ja. I think the most dangerous thing about Memphis is their defense, and Ja isn't exactly a contributor to that. Ja's overall impact isn't as widespread as other stars. That said, in the playoffs, someone needs to make big shots. Especially when shit ass role players tend to remember that they're Dillon Brooks on the road. Desmond Bane is really good, but he's not ready to be the guy yet.
  18. AD got his lip busted by a fan's smartphone who was trying to catch him from falling. Because of course he did.
  19. Hey camera guys, we don't need you to focus on LeBron for several minutes when he's blatantly grabbing his junk.
  20. Is it some sort of team bonding thing for half of the Memphis roster to have stupid hair?
  21. It really is his only path. Trump gets convicted of a crime serious enough to scare off the suburbs, Ron squeaks by in the primary without ever saying a negative word about Trump, then goes on a blitzkrieg of deep state conspiracies and says the first thing he'll do as President is pardon Trump and shutter the FBI/CIA/whatever to win over MAGA. Either that or bend the knee and run as his VP.
