    Remember when Trumps popular 'drain the swamp' slogan was created by an analytics company? Meant nothing, targeted marketing to dumb dumbs win again.

    Sometimes I think "Nah, nobody could have been that stupid to believe Trump would actually 'drain the swamp'"...and then I see some of the Trumpkins posts on here.

  2. I wouldn't put it past Lebron to intentionally lose this game  not give best effort so that he can be assured of not facing his bestie in the playoffs.

    I also wouldn't pencil in Philly in the ECF just yet; I'll be interested to see how they cope when the game inevitably slows down.  They're at the best at a fast pace and a semifinal matchup against Boston (who will undoubtedly slow the game down) would be fascinating, even without Kyrie.

    Some of this is on Kyrie.   He needed to have the surgery during the offseason but he used that as leverage to strong arm CLE into trading him.   Then he had to play once he got to BOS.

    This x1000.  Kyrie told the Cavs brass he was going to have surgery, sit out the season and live off his royalties if he wasn’t traded.

    I also wonder if, given what we’ve seen with IT last season and this, any player is going to trust Celtics doctors on when it’s safe to return to action.

    Not trying to be sexist or anything but, why does it seem as if the females never look for an idol?  I think I recall Pavarti looking for one at some point; maybe Andrea Boehlke.  But, I honestly don't recall very many women ever taking the time to look for an idol.

    Too busy making the men sammiches.

  5. And the Pistons salary situation is a dumpster fire - my favorite salary here is probably $10+ million to Josh Smith the next 2 seasons.

    Mavs fans need to be praying that they finish below Orlando and Doncic drops to 4.   I think he is going to be great, and they can figure out how to make it work with DSJ. 

    I'm torn on Doncic.  I love his game and BB IQ - I just don't know if he's athletic enough to ever be a top 10 player and that his ceiling is Hedo Turkeyglue.
