as long as there are scrub players still getting rotation minutes, there is no justification for expansion. The league’s never been so talented. Awesome. But the wizards still exist so fuck off with diluting a still overly diluted talent pool.

The missed dunk and then Barnes whiffing the wide open 3. Also Fox so somehow losing a race to the rim to Kolak and getting fouled + missing the FT. Just a lot of those little moments where we couldn’t manage to step on throats. The game should have broken open at a couple points. But the...

just way way too much of this guy last night. If he doesn’t “have it”, we don’t have much of a back up plan. If that plan is Bryant, he needs to start getting a steady 15 mins per game even against good teams. But that doesn’t seem like what will happen. Lack of a lengthy 4 who could also play...

Knicks have a lot of guys that love big moments. It’s one of the most fearless teams in the league. We had plenty of fear to spare last night. it was a surprising amount of frailty from Vic. We often see guys go channel the personal matters into deeper focus. He’s maybe a more sensitive guy...

Flagg’s gonna be the guy that Tatum fans think Tatum is. Probably won’t take him very long to get there either. It’s so weird how slow the game is for him.

Vic understands that he’s more than a human. Truly. He’s personally on a different tier of existence. He’s intellectually blessed. He’s one of the most physically gifted individuals in human history. He seems to be just good at everything and he’s 7’6. You see him just walk over that barrier...

the OKC thing is going to start getting weird and unsustainable IMO. Because guys like Wallace and Mitchell will end up losing a fortune if personal wealth by being buried on a deep bench longer than they would on any other team and in Wallace’s case have his career possibly shortened being...

Yeah well. If you look past all of the strange infatuation with the guy from the front office all the way down to the Clan’s of the Internet…he’s just a guy who’s bad at basketball and will be disposed of. there’s no need to do anything other than the disposal.

Experienced the first real downside of Tesla ownership recently - auto shops won’t touch them and light damage is hard to repair. So I get backed into with my bumper dented but not cracked, and needed to take it to a Tesla collision center an hour away to replace the whole stupid lift gate. 2...

Yeah I can’t muster much negativity about this team at the moment. I have plenty of grievances with the path to get here but this is all going swimmingly.

Not giving your draft pick a 2nd contract happens quite a bit. What optics are you worried about?

Yes I’m sure he’s a flaming racist who is a part of the exact same norms and cultural references as you which is why he has been hired to be a part of Poland basketball which is multiple black players that they need engagement from, and this isn’t just your cultural misinterpretation combined...

They appear to be a clear top 4 team in the west right now and I would actually expect them to beat everyone but Denver, Houston and OKC in a 7 game series. Gsw? Lal? Phoenix? We have all 3 covered. Minnesota is the only question mark but I think we should be confident in that one too. This...

Can anyone name a guy who went from lottery to DNP and also had no contract coming up - and then turned it around to become a rotation player on a different team like right away? The “he’s a good player but…” or “on another team…” arguments don’t seem that grounded in reality. He’s most likely...

I think a lot of us haters really just hated when he’d try to do more than just shoot. The truth is the same as it was a year ago - if Devin is dribbling, your offense is unhealthy. If Devin is just shooting, he’s going to make a lot of those shots and your offense is likely doing well. All...
