  1. > Hey uhhhh just everybody knows we investigated Morant and found out some juicy stuff and we have already made a decision about what will happen to him. I'm not going to tell you that decision yet though, because it might interrupt the Finals and wouldn't be fair to the players. But feel free to speculate! What an idiot.
  2. The Chris Paul trade and a middle-heavy conference got the Suns to the Finals. Monty is merely part of the 80% of NBA coaches that doesn't screw his team over but also doesn't elevate them to any heights they wouldn't have otherwise reached. A cardboard cutout who fills the seat. It's hard to see an imminent turnaround with the guys you named. Anybody can spam shots and put up some inefficient numbers on a terrible team, especially in 2023, and that's mostly what those first three have done thus far. Cunningham should eventually be good given his draft slot and physical attributes, but this year will be telling (and if he gets hurt again, that might also tells us a lot). I don't know what to tell you about Wiseman. He's already damaged goods and just doesn't seem to be a very good player. Golden State - an old team on the way down - probably wouldn't have let him go for a couple of second rounders and an injured guy if they saw any future with him at all.
  3. Even if Herro is 100% come Sunday, he's going to have over a month of rust on him.
  4. I'd post the Event Horizon clip where the ship captain is holding his own gouged-out eyeballs, but that might not be board-appropriate.
  5. Dumb franchise that's two years away from being two years away gives $100M to a cardboard cutout coach.
  6. Everybody: nooooooo you can't just let Brown walk that's not an option! Legitimately why? Tell me exactly how the team gets worse without a guy who's been in the league for seven seasons and can't handle the ball, has no court vision, takes every other defensive possession off, keeps getting worse and more reckless from three over the past few seasons, and really hasn't improved as a player since 2018. And also tell me why you would give someone fitting that description $300M and expect him to finally fix those flaws. He's Jason Richardson. And that's all before observing both what a faux-intellectual Diet Kyrie turd he acts like, or (more importantly) all this rumored locker room toxicity that keeps bubbling up year after year under a succession of head coaches now, and who could possibly be the root cause.
  7. Miami is actually willing to work and play defense on a nightly basis. And they're both willing and able to hunt down other ways to win if Plan A isn't working. In that regard having a bunch of undrafted guys probably works in their favor - no one's above doing the grunt work. Of course it also helps a lot to have Jimmy Butler leading by example. The Celtics meanwhile did that (scrap out a win when Plan A wasn't working) literally once (last game) in these entire playoffs and hardly ever if ever during the regular season, then reverted to form and folded again tonight. Tatum's ankle isn't an excuse for one single game (for a whole series, it would be). If your best player playing in pain means you have no chance to win an individual game, at home, against a team with a much worse record, then you need wholesale roster changes. EDIT: Patrick Star is right about the incoming load management epidemic though, if it wasn't one already.
  8. 2017 is up there. Cavs win games 1, 2, and 5 in Boston by a combined 472 points, but lose one of the home games and need a second-half surge after halftime to come back and win the other.
  9. I'm confused, are you saying we shouldn't pay Jaylen "Ricky Davis" Brown $300M to be a turnover machine?
  10. Celtics back on their bull:censored: and refusing to guard Caleb Martin. It's over.
  11. I'm emotionally invested now and I don't like it.
  12. Just looked at Turner's numbers; yuck. Carl Crawford sends his regards.
  13. I know talk of the 3-0 comeback is inevitable, but the main difference is the "spam threes" strategy coin flip has been coming up heads the last two nights (yeah Tatum's attacking and they're actually getting after it on defense, but when the threes aren't falling, that stuff tends to go too). What happens if/when it comes up tails again? Are they going to say screw it, we can't win and check out? Probably, that's what they've been doing all year. Grind out a win when the threes aren't going your way, then I'll start giving credit. Miami did that in game 2.
  14. Anthony Goldwire, for being a career backup who went back and forth between the NBA and Europe, but still led the 98 Nuggets in win shares en route to an 11-71 record. No, it was not the Tim Duncan tank year.
  15. This was undoubtedly LeBron's most taxing season yet but a tired 20-year veteran spouting off an hour after a season-ending loss isn't much of a story.
  16. LeBron drove into a brick wall for the final two possessions in a row. That has to be one of the most entertaining 4-0 series in the league's history.
  17. https://streamable.com/ljnnjs "we beat y'all last year! we good!" SHUT THE F--K UP. You lost twice in your building and now you're getting your ass handed to you in an absolute must-win game. Pretty much this whole roster can go. It's been six seasons, they've reached the pinnacle of what they're capable of without a massive shakeup. I'm rooting for the sweep now.
  18. Well Denver's up 3-0 so it looks like I may have to acknowledge them as a contender now. But more importantly:
  19. Brown, Smart, and Grant Williams can all go.
  20. Denver was fortunate to get away with that one. They needed Murray to get white-hot just to take the lead, then they let the Lakers right back in and choked a bunch of defensive possessions at the end. That's the kind of game the established veteran team (Lakers) often steals from the hopefuls (Nuggets). I'm still not getting my hopes up unless Denver wins one of the next two in LA.
