I said since last year that the Celtics young core was HIGHLY overrated. Got a lot of flack by Celtic fans and casual NBA fans, but turns out I was right all along I think most of this is on Kyrie. He's had an awful series. Yeah, the young guys didn't acquit themselves well but Kyrie being so awful...

Ayton is not Embiid. He does not have the mentality to draw fouls and force the opposition to match up with him, and he doesn't have the defensive awareness to be a game changer on the other end of the floor. I wasn't saying he is Embiid, but he's not Capela either. Just that there is hope for big ...

Last night looked to me like Houston playing with an emotional desperation that they won't be able to maintain. I won't harp on this a ton, but watching Clint Capela sit over half the game (you can't beat a good perimeter team playing a true center) just reminds me of how much I hate that we picked...

I think the thinking is that Jackson begat Ayton who will begat Williamson.

McD knew exactly who to draft.

Maybe Igor didn't want to dumb down the plays like the previous coaches had to, so the players didn't understand him.

I don't mind as long as it's in the Embiid/Jokic mold. Just please don't rely on it. I will be worried if he is like either of those guys. They take 3-4 a game and can't hit above 30% . If that is the case, they will let you take it all day long and get the long rebound for a quick break up the flo...

Toronto is frustrating to watch, because they are a better built team in terms of player fit and skillset. But Philly just has more talented starters. I'd love for Siakam to take over the series, but it's not going to happen. Toronto was supposed to have the better bench in this series, but that ha...

Jokic rested for 3 minutes total. That's very little even for a game without OT, I hope he's able to recover.

My philosophy when evaluating movies/series is: if you want to be taken seriously, don't do stupid shit. I liked the show because there weren't many points that made no sense. Unfortunately starting with season 7 (going by memory here) it took a huge step back in that regard. Season 8 is an improvem...

I will NEVER feel bad for the Rockets not getting foul calls. Some of them were, some of them weren't. Maybe Harden should focus on making the shot instead of jumping forward 3ft. This is true, but there was a whole game before that action. Sure, and he's doing it for the whole game. Some close out...

Suns players not understanding what their coach wants them to do seems like an annual thing now.

I'm all for a strong punishment. But 5 games, then doubling, etc., would be out of whack with what the league hands out for other infractions such as actually shoving / hitting another player. I find shoving / hitting much more forgivable. Games are physical and often emotional. Under those circums...

https://twitter.com/goknickstape/status/1119753895369158657 They should fine such things, and why not make a rule which give a flagrant to someone acting like that? That's why they added the flopping rules a few years back. If this doesn't make their list you can just s*** the rule. I think I heard...

On the bright side, if they hire Ty Lue he can start at PG as well.

Warriors in 4
Nuggets in 6
Thunder in 6
Rockets in 6

Bucks in 4
Raptors in 4
Sixers in 5
Celtics in 6

Edit: I assumed Curry is playing, though I don't really know his status.

Congrats Andrew, and to the other top teams as well.

This season felt strange to me with all the load management going around and come-from-nowhere fantasy studs.

I'll never blame a player for taking a 150mil contract. If you're making 50K at a job you hate with a bad boss but he offers you 200K a year to stay, you gonna leave? Also, if the owner/FO offers a player a contract and then trades him, where's their obligation to keeping him? Blake was pissed when...

He's doing what's best for the team. Losing.
