  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You think you're better than us?
  4. Cavs needed to win G2. You can't waste a Mitchell game like that.
  5. Get on with yo bad self Myles 🤘
  6. I thought the Cleveland pick was bold but I let it ride.
  7. Shoving somebody isn't a flagrant 2. C'mon y'all.
  8. 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.
  9. He won the Masters?
  10. 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.
  11. Don't be ridiculous. Most of them don't have internet.
  12. SMU definitely gives a shit. SMU also does not have a baseball team.
  13. I'm gonna take your man card for some bullshit like that. Put getting pussy over thermostat discipline. What are you, gay? If she's hot she can take her clothes off.
  14. Negged for a fucking TikTok link.
  15. I mean he's always fucked for football season.
  16. I think this kid is good enough that it doesn't matter. Wondering who could put a competitive team around him is a good convo, though.
  17. Good for JDub. He's 1-11 today. Think he was 5-20 in game 1. Trading him is just foistering your garbage on another team so you don't have to pay him. Giannis may be a bit cheaper. It's just really hard to get franchise players in the NBA because there's never more than ~10 at a time - and it's almost impossible to win a title without one. I'm rolling the dice on Flagg 10 times out of 10. I mean I think he's going to be a better player than JDub by his 2nd season.
  18. God Bilas is such a condescending prick. We don't need your opinion on every single call that's made. It's a shame because Mark Jones has called a good playoffs.
  19. Caruso saving these fools. What a fucking steal.
  20. Bro if I have Flagg I need more than J Dub and Cason Wallace 😂 The thing is it's likely that anyone that gets Flagg is going to need a guy like Flagg. I get that the hypothetical is fun but I would think that a trade for him is a non-starter unless a top 10-12 guy in the league is included. No - it doesn't. Picks are picks. Flagg is Flagg.
  21. Idk. Didn't hurt the Celtics last year. I think what's hurting y'all is pretty obvious - but we have some signs of life here. I like this Nuggets team better as a neutral but I don't want to see OKC go out like this.
  22. Minny/Denver 2 Anthony Edwards Boogaloo?
  23. Westbrook out here protecting his legacy and shit.
  24. Dude give it back to Caruso he was wide fucking open. Just horrendous O from the Thunder.
