NBA Playoffs 2023
Yeah I think I come out here after watching the replay several times. Ishbia seemed like he caught the ball and was immediately looking at the suns player on the ground when Jokic lumbered over. Obviously he flopped and seems like a douche in general, but I put more blame on Jokic for the incident. But glad there was no suspension

Really happy I forgot to hit “submit reply” on my “PHX and Philly are toast” post from earlier today.

Welcome back. We missed you after James Harden’s uniquely terrible games 2 and 3.

Bullshit. He fouls on most plays and just counts on the refs to not foul him out of every game. Watch a basketball game.

Wiggins has turned into such a nice player. I realize that isn’t the goal of a number one pick, but he’s so valuable to this team (stating the obvious). Draymond is a shit head and yes I get everyone hates him for good reason, but he still might be the best defensive player in the league when the lights are on.

Davis is such a chameleon. Tim Duncan one night, Andre Drummond the next.

Black Lives Matter
Really terrible, terrible thing. Having lived in Manhattan a decade, I can attest that it's not a fun situation to be in when an obviously mentally ill person becomes violent near you or towards you and you have a split second to react. It's exceedingly rare of course (and I recognize it's cat nip for the Daily Texas crowd), but I recently had a guy sprint towards my wife and kid while we were eating dinner outside. I just jumped in between them and he kind of bounced off me and ran off in another direction, but I'm not sure what would have happened had he been more persistent. And you can't call the cops of course because they would just shoot him at first flinch. So I guess what I'm saying is I'd like to know more about what transpired leading up to the video before crucifying or absolving the choker (the fact that multiple people were holding the guy down at least implies to me that he was being pretty threatening), but that video is tough to watch and it does seem like with it being three against one he could have at least released the chokehold before killing the poor guy (and that is making the big assumption that the chokehold was warranted in the first place). All of that said, I would encourage all of you to ignore every fucking sentence that comes out of the Hochul and Adams camps regardless of which side they come down on. Totally spineless cement heads.

I hope we get 7 awesome games, but if AD stays healthy and engaged (huge if), I think the Lakers can probably take this in 6. The match up is tough, and the Ws are an older team coming off an exhausting series against the Kings. Either way, the Nuggets are definitely coming out of the West.

The Suns ain’t it this year. Maybe next if they upgrade supporting cast in the off-season.

Sabonis needs to go on a 2007 Dirk hike in the wilderness this off-season. Just an absolute de-pantsing.

Curry having a fuck you game, but this Ws team has seemed cursed since the Draymond punch. I’ll be really surprised if they pull this out. They desperately need something out of Klay.

Sabonis has to have one of the most punchable faces in the league. His whine face is just so bad.

Best NBA Coach?
I realize he isn’t technically active at this moment, but Nick Nurse might be my first call. I would have him in the Spo/Kerr convo, and then I guess Lue. Carlisle and Pop are longer in the tooth, but give them players and I bet they still belong. I also can’t believe how good Mike Brown is now. I thought he was terrible in his previous stints, but he’s been super impressive in SAC.

Sabonis is a good player, but he has been supppperrr underwhelming this series.

Succession -- HBO
Probably like 90% chance? Otherwise it’s a really stupid plot point that I think these writers are too good for. Pretty obvious that Shiv had a heavy hand with the kill list, with Gerri, my future wife Karolina, and Tom all surviving. Of course it won’t “work out” for Shiv in the business sense just like it won’t for Kendall and Roman. This series concludes with all three being broken, obscenely wealthy people without a true compass or purpose.

it’s kind of insane. Regular season Jimmy is like a top 40 player, and playoff Jimmy is a top 10-12 player. He’s like bizarro James Harden

NBA 2022-2023 Season Thread
I feel like we do the top 10 thing every year, always fun. I have a hard time ranking Wilt and Russell and other 60s guys, so I usually cheat and just do post 1970, but I guess 4th and 5th seems right. MJ, LBJ, Kareem, Russell, Wilt, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Kobe, Curry. Plenty of room for arguments for 8-15 or so (Hakeem, Shaq, Oscar, Jerry West, Durant). Not much room for arguing about the top 8.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
I blacked out for a few months there with a newborn, but did aggy ever get anything more than an NCAA letter for their 12th man NIL thing? I remember much gnashing of teeth at the time and talks of schools complaining to the NCAA, but wasn’t sure if they had to walk anything back. Maybe not enough time has passed.

Brooks is a traffic cone. Guy would fit in with the shit basketball played in the 90s, but he doesn’t belong in this league.
