  1. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK JUST HAPPENED
  2. You know I don't think I watched enough Lynx games last season.
  3. I was thinking more like Beaver Creek or Taos.
  4. Cousins never got one of those?
  5. So the Wolves don't concern you at all?
  6. Sometimes I can't tell if Russillo is by far one of the best analysts going or if we just overlap a ton in how we view the game. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
  7. Yeah but in majors. Not the fucking Truist open 😂
  8. We're back. They went early today.
  9. I'm glad the usual cast of characters is rounding into form. Now we need an out-of-state douche or two to post a screenshot of the weather in some economically-unsustainable town with nothing but Moose in every direction for miles.
  10. Those are fucking dope.
  11. Yes, Lue was.
  12. I think OKC/Denver could be the real Finals but it all feels very marginal right now. Minny isn't some stepping-stone to the Finals - just ask Denver - and whoever comes out of the East isn't going to be a pushover. The title still feels very in-play for everyone but GS and CLE if we're being honest (I'm assuming Ws are about to be down 3-1).
  13. The "best opening lyrics" thread has been getting bumped and someone had posted lyrics from "Round Here" by Counting Crows. I made a comment about how I think they're a pretty underrated band then I threw on August and Everything After. This is a great fucking song.
  14. Indy does everything that OKC doesn't when it comes to consistently putting points on the board and pressing advantages. They have this free-flowing joy to them and an edge on top of it and when you watch the Thunder you just wonder where that is. Minny and NYK don't play as clean of a brand of offense as Indy but they also look like they're consistently having fun and committed as teammates. Denver and GS are wily, salty dogs with title experience that play smart as shit and are going to be a m'fer to beat regardless of what it says on paper. The teams that look tight this playoffs - like they're being forced to compete - are OKC and Boston. Which is strange because - on paper - those should be the two toughest teams to beat. I'm not sure if it's simply a function of how these teams are built and chemistry and coaching or if expectations play into it or if we're looking at a playoffs where the margins are just so damn thin that your "favorites" are mashed into the rest of the mix and it's like we're drawing names out of a hat. Either way this playoffs has been a blast and some of the names mixing it up feel very refreshing.
  15. I get that they were huge - but the older I get and the more repetitions of their stuff I'm subjected to the more I start to think that they're kind of an underrated band.
  16. You think you're better than us?
  17. Cavs needed to win G2. You can't waste a Mitchell game like that.
  18. Get on with yo bad self Myles 🤘
  19. I thought the Cleveland pick was bold but I let it ride.
  20. Shoving somebody isn't a flagrant 2. C'mon y'all.
  21. I mean Jok and Giannis are an indisputable top 2 right now. Anyone thinking SGA has ever been on that level is on drugs. Is he a top 5 player is a valid question. Because so far in this playoffs if we're drafting guards he isn't going in the top 2 (might not go in the top 3, tbh). I'd probably take Luka over him. Idk about Tatum - they've both kind of been ass. He's top 10 for sure.
  22. He won the Masters?
  23. Of course he's a good player. But he's proving to not be a high-level bucket-getter than can unfuck a team out of bad possessions. You need guys like that to win titles. Maybe I'm overrating Flagg - idk. For me his floor is someone like J Dub if not a bit better and his ceiling is franchise cornerstone. It's hard to quantify the #1 pick when it's a once every 7-8 years type of can't-miss prospect.
