    Anybody know what happened to Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, or when they'll be back?

     

    Mobley twisted his ankle in the last game.   He should be back but will still be hampered.      They said Garland's injury would have him out a few weeks if it was the reg season so its just going to come down to how much pain he can tolerate and making sure he doesnt make it worse by playing

    I cannot understand how he could garner even one player having that opinion of him. Do they not watch how he orchestrates things for Indiana? He’s fun to watch and easily one of the best players in the league right now.

    There was a whole lot of bitchassness in that vote.  He rubs other players the wrong way cause he talks a lot and his game looks a little weird.

    I asked The Google:

    ”Is Paige Bueckers’ girlfriend a lesbian?”

    There was some TikTok stuff that came up, but I don’t have the TikTok app, so this was as far as I got.

    And notice Paige’s hand height behind the girl on the left.

    Yeah it sure seems that she and Fudd are a couple.    They go everywhere together.   Paige always dressed like a dude and they pose like a couple in most of the pics I've seen.

    lol didn’t see this, did he really ask this? I’m over inside the NBA post game. Their photoshops are funny…but ya, time for fresh blood. Excited to see what the panel on prime and NBC next year

    The photoshops/gone fishin segments are still good.   Everything else is extremely stale.   Especially the running to the board.   Its worse because Kenny acts like a bitch anytime one of the others beat him

    To be ever-so-slightly fair to Harden, it looks like something in the realm of a third of those low FGM games are from his time in OKC, coming off the bench on a team making annual deep playoff runs. Obviously, LeBron, Steph, and KD were never bench players, nor were they immediately playing playoff basketball as rookies and young players.

    Even if you take away a 3rd of each of those numbers he's still WAY out in front.

    To this point, would you rather be remembered as one of the greatest offensive players in league history...but quite possibly the biggest choke artist in professional sports* with a weakness for the strip club lunch menu? Or, as a super flawed dude who also never won anything (other than an MVP) but played his ass off--good or bad--every time he touched the court who was generally beloved by teammates? It's tough.

     

    *Passing along some numbers that popped up on my socials: 

     

    Career playoff games with under 4 FG made: 

    Harden - 35

    LeBron - 5

    Steph - 3

    KD - 2

     

    Career playoff games with under 5 FG made: 

    Harden - 55

    LeBron - 9

    Steph - 8

    KD - 4

     

    Career playoff games with as many turnovers as FGM:

    Harden - 42

    LeBron - 17

    Steph - 13

    KD - 7

     

    jesus christo

    My eyes almost popped out of my head looking at those.   Those are INSANE!!!

    Despite his playoff ineptitude, it's still Harden. First, he was a significantly better regular season player than Westbrook, and that should count for something. Second, Russ hasn't exactly bathed himself in glory in the playoffs. 

    Russ was the only one that showed up in his finals appearance.  That was the first of Harden's disappearances.   Russ at the very least is pretty close to the same in the playoffs as he is in the reg season.    Harden chokes over and over.   I'd take Russ.

    So sick of his shit but way more sick of these assholes making excuses for his behavior and not booting his bitch ass out of games.   Now they are alternating between giving him techs and flagrants so essentially he would have 3 incidents in a game before they will eject him.

    Indiana is playing some Brazilian all-star team or some shit in a preseason game and they are kicking the absolute fucking dogshit out of them. It's like 61-24 right now in the first half. 

    75-24 a min into the 2nd half.   IND made some great moves getting Bonner, Natasha Howard, Sophie Cunningham and Syd Colson.   With CC having a yr exp under her belt while not losing Boston or Mitchell they will be really good this yr

    The SSA has a webpage where you can see the popularity of any name going back to like 1900. If the name doesnt show up, it means it was not in the top 1000 names for any year. In Jalen's case, I think you can make the case that he might in fact be responsible for the sudden name popularity. Prior to 1992, it was never in the top 1000. In 1992 (second of the fab 5 final fours) it shows up all of the sudden at #378. I guess it could be a coincidence, but I bet not. Fab 5 was a big media story. 
     

     

    yeah, that's what I mean.   The name may have existed prior.   He is the reason it gained such popularity

    Jalen Rose reached the finals and won MIP in 2000. No coincidence most of the Jalen/Jaylin/Jaylen/etcs in the league were born around 2001-2003

    I'd argue he was way more famous from 1992-95

    NBA playoffs scheduling is fucking dumb. It should be every East series plays a game, then West the next night, repeat until they are all done. 14 days max for round 1, and 1 day off between every game. Adjust times as needed to maximize TV value each day.

    They are not going to have 4 games on weeknights.   They try to make sure as many games as possible have exclusive windows.  If some series end early they will have nights where there will be only one game.   They dont change game schedules once everything starts.   This is mainly for the first round anyway.   They is a much better cadence when the 2nd round starts

    His name could be it. I just do not recall hearing that name as often as now. I guess it's like people naming their child Kobe. That was another name I never heard until he got to the NBA.

    He says his mother made up the name from his uncles' names James and Leonard.    I doubt that he was truly the first Jalen but he was definitely the first to be in the public eye

    Dumb. Beasley is one of 4 players not named Steph to ever make 300+ threes in a season. Cade was 0-8 on threes for the game, and it would have been an off-balance, contested attempt. Malik had already made 6, and it would have been a wide open look. That was absolute the right play. 

    He hadnt made one since the first half though.   I dont have a real issue with Cade passing to a wide open guy but Beasley didnt do a thing in the 2nd half.

    Michael Malone fired

    That is insane.   They may have slipped a little but firing the coach that brought you your only title less than 2 yrs later......on the eve of the playoffs fucking crazy

    The guy buying the Celtics didn’t get the arena.

    He didnt but everything else is already in place including the fanbase and one of the biggest brands in sports.   That is what he was paying for.

  16. Yep, I know we are talking about obscenely rich folks but paying 6B just for the franchise would be a tough sell

    Thats....low.   One of the reasons the League was paying close attention to what the Celtics brought was to get a good idea of what the pricetag was going to be for an expansion team. 

    It is going to be closer to $6 billion.

    Cant imagine people (even obscenely rich ones) coming in and paying what the most expensive franchise ever just sold for when they would still have to get an arena, staff, players, etc.   That is why I went a little lower.
