  1. It shouldn't even go six, though I'm not ballsy enough to predict less Celts need Embiid in foul trouble and at least a couple guys having horrible shooting nights, all at the same time
  2. That is the assumption. But I think they are open to paying him again on a one-year deal if the big fishes don't work out. Also think he might take less because he wants to stay in the northeast near his Brooklyn home (but the Nets/Knicks aren't realistic options).
  3. Ministry of Silly Walks is first thing to come to mind. Also the pall bearers who get tired so they take turns riding in the coffin
  4. That's all good, like I said no way you turn him away if he wants to come over to Phila. Brett Brown has adjusted his style a couple times already, so yeah he could figure out away to incorporate 23. It's more about wanting to see it be Simmons' team going forward, which would not be the case if LeBron shows up. And there's no way around it, his next team will have to manage LeBron's eventual decline as he gets older.
  5. If you're the Sixers, of course you want LeBron if you can make the money work, which shouldn't be too hard. But it would force a change in "the process" and maybe take the ball out of Simmons' hands which is not ideal. Plus he's gonna be 34 and the way he plays there's gonna be some drop-off soon. I hope he just stays in Cleveland.
  6. I think that's why they never really snapped out of it. Haven't faced adversity in weeks besides Embiid getting hurt. Losing this one might not be so bad, but they need to go down fighting at least
  7. Spotswood. I thought the reference was too dated (Team America World Police). Same avatar. Wish we had sigs under the avatar like before so I could add "Fuck Philly and their fans" which seems to come up in many threads within which I post for some reason
  8. For now, I'll chalk this up to pro athletes having enough pride not to be humiliated every single playoff game. Definitely being more careful with puck possession while maintaining their aggressiveness. Hope it becomes a typical NHL long series
  9. Best milkshake I've had in decades was from their Cincy airport shop a few months ago.
  10. The whole series could turn around if we can limit the Pens to 2 goals per period
  11. I don't even play roulette but that pisses me off
  12. In. This will make up for the Paterno after school special. Filmmakers got several hours with Vince & Hulk and also tracked down Andre's family in France who had never been interviewed.
  13. Very superficial and sometimes laughable re-telling of events that have been pretty much known for years. Pacino does pretty well, but given the way they portray Joe as being mostly a bystander to every conversation (which is totally believable at that point), an unknown actor would have been better for the story.

  16. Blacklab in the money is well deserved (for this year anyway)
  17. VU will lose Bridges and Brunson for sure, and possibly Spellman. If I was a neutral fan, I'd be a little pissed. Michigan doesn't totally suck but this isn't a championship game quality team. Can't shoot FTs, actually can't shoot much at all. Best player Wagner had all the buzz and he gets tired easily and also rattled easily. Champ games should be better than this
  18. It's like if Grayson Allen was both talented and not a dick
  19. Man I was gonna be happy trailing by 5 or less. It is such an adjustment from playing KU who lets you take open shots, or drive and create other open shots, to Michigan not giving up anything easy. Thankfully DD is fearless and happened to be the one who could make a 3 - and pass, and play D. Still think Jay needs to make some adjustments at the break to get more realistic shots.
  20. I'm not mentally prepared for Nova to lose tonight, since I can't really picture how that would even happen on this stage. It would take more than just cooling off from 3-range, they do that from time to time and make up for it by crashing the boards, driving and drawing fouls. Plus their defense is good enough to withstand UM shooting well, and their depth can withstand 1-2 guys getting in foul trouble. Of course, this has been a bizarre tournament and UM is well coached. But I'm expecting to be climbing traffic poles in a few hours
  21. Maybe not even a whole season. I love analytics but at some point you have to get out of your team's way and let them do what the numbers say they'll do. Three games in, he has alienated his ace (and probably other SPs in support of Nola), pissed off the umpires twice (the ghost pitching change, also challenging a sac fly tagup, who does that?), and has overused and confused his bullpen. Also some positional shenanigans. He needs to realize he's fucking up and make some major changes in his own approach.
  22. Villanova -6.5 favorite Monday, over/under 145.5 Seems about right, I don't know much about UM other than they can play some defense.
  23. I mean did anyone see K-State people online whining for respect after they beat UMBC? Or Missouri people assuming Elite 8 at a minimum last summer? Compared to their main rivals KU is a fucking dream fanbase
