  1. You misspelled San Antonio.
  2. I’ll say the same thing i said about OKC as last year. They have no offense other than SGA or Williams going one on one or setting a high screen for each other. Schematically they are easy to defend and I don’t know how well that works in a long series when players get more used to guarding each other. They run great out of bounds actions but their half court stuff is not imaginative at all. I just don’t get it.
  3. Denver was due for a stinker after the quick game 7 turnaround from the Clippers series and the game 1 theft in OKC. The margin was ridiculous but I don't think the outcome should have surprised anyone. That's going to be an interesting and (I hope) long series. The Celtics / Knicks thing is just odd. I don't think the C's are going to change the way they play and the Knicks have a lot of guys who can switch out on the perimeter to match up on defense. The Celtics caught just about every possible injury break in their title run last year. Do we really know how mentally tough they are? Or how truly good they are are? Not having Porzingis is hurting them right now, but that's really been the story of his whole career. I don't think they are out of the series, but those were two gut wrenching L's.
  4. I gotta be honest. I'm hardly following recruiting any more. I'm just assuming that we're getting 90%-ish of the top targets and then they are going to backfill any roster misses through the portal. It's great being the Joneses and all, and lord knows that we took it in the ass from Ohio State, Georgia, Bama, LSU etc. for far too many years and it feels good to turn the tables on those fuckers... but the ins and outs of recruiting isn't all that interesting to me any longer. Is that just me?
  5. Jokic is too strong for either Hartenstein or Holmgren. He can bully either one right into the basket. OKC doesn’t want to double but I’d take my chances with the other guys knocking down shots. They need a bigger body on him and they just don’t have one.
  6. Knicks gotta foul here and not let them get off a three. Right?
  7. Derrick White makes every little winning play. It’s uncanny.
  8. This is an amazing game.
  9. Second seed in a brutal west with a crazy young team in their first playoff, tons of valuable future draft capital, really good cap management , and just happened to lose to a championship squad that got boosted at the trade deadline with an all time great in game 7. Makes perfect sense to blow the whole thing up for an aging star. What the hell is wrong with you people?
  10. Such a young team that plays really hard. I wouldn’t blow up anything. Lock Amen and Sengun in the gym all summer shooting until their arms fall off and run it back. Your going to be stuck with Green though unless you want to send assets out with him.
  11. So excited for Gobert v Draymond with playoff intensity. Going to be awesome.
  12. GS completely confounded by the Houston zone. They also don’t have the size to compete. Adams is killing them in all sorts of ways.
  13. If he’s bad they will fire him. No biggie. Maybe he turns out to be like Spoelstra? I like it better than trotting out one of the retreads like Bud. Honestly, Will Hardy would have been my choice but he’s already got a gig. Other than him? Give Mitch a shot, get another veteran coach on the bench who specializes in defense and let’s see what he can do.
  14. Jalen Johnson for Atlanta if he hasn’t been mentioned yet. Pistons are a fun watch.
  15. Nobody is lining up give assets and pay $33 million to Green. It’s not toxic but it’s not an ace in the hole either.
  16. Not wild about Bailey. Seems like low iq chucker but he can definitely stroke it. Lord knows they need shooting. I saw everything I needed to see from Edgecombe in the Olympics. He’s a stud. Big Derik Queen fan if we’re looking for a big. He’d be a great pairing with Wemby. I saw they had a 26% chance of picking in the top 4? I’ll take it. I really like the guy from byu and the guy from Illinois. I’d be happy with either of them.
  17. I think I’m the only one who didn’t like the movie that much.
  18. I'm really, really going through some shit. Just about any type of stress you could be under (other than my kids are fantastic), I'm currently experiencing. Financial stress, work stress, potential legal stress, personal medical/ diagnosed mental stress, marital stress, taking care of elderly parent losing memory stress. Even my dog may require surgery on her leg. I hit the shitstorm motherlode and everything came down on me at once.
  19. Need to drop this one. Getting a little too close to Portland.
  20. Damn Slick Watts. RIP.
  21. I don’t even know if this is the right thread to discuss this in but the first two new daredevil episodes dropped and I think they’re great.
  22. Castle is going to be such a stud. But they need to lose this game.
  23. Trust the process.
