    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Yeah that was my sense. Definitely seemed to have the subtext of “I can’t get into specifics, but he’s a pain in the ass and they want to move on”. I was actually a bit surprised because while Jimmy certainly has a history of being Jimmy, I hadn’t heard anything recently and figured age and the...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    FWIW, Howard Beck was on the Lowe Post last week and strongly suggested that Jimmy is done in Miami, and that they've been having internal discussions on moving on from him since last summer. Said something to the effect of "there's a lot that comes with dealing w/Jimmy"

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers - The Danse Macabre

    I like the Sixers matchup better for the Cs, and at the very least I should be rooting for this series to go 7, but I just cannot bring myself to root for this Philly team against this Knicks team

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    He has a legitimately terrible production/analytics profile. Tools alone make it worth a shot but as a guy who didn’t produce and has legit character concerns, it’s a big risk

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    Yeah I’m a bit conflicted in that we got a guy I wanted but a round early. But happy overall. I think he’s a good player and can play flanker. That, plus hoping Pop becomes Maye’s new Josh Downs in the slot gives me a glimmer of hopium for the future on O Holy shit this Indy/Bucks game!

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    Yeah this is probably true. Shrager’s mock had him going 32 so not a complete outlier. Jakobi Meyers with more juice is one comp that makes sense based on what I’ve seen. Very good blocker and reported dawg, so I can get down with it.

    I like Polk and was hoping for him in the 3rd but this feels early.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    He was truly awful last night. His point of attack deficiencies are evident in the way they tax the rest of the defense in the half court, but he was also terrible in transition- bad decisions, bad effort, poor positioning and angles. He makes it really hard for his teammates to compensate

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Fair enough, didn’t mean to paint them all in a bad light (I have a friend who went to one after getting shut out of med schools and she’s a serious person doing good things now) I just dug around a bit about the one he went to and it seems to have a poor reputation. He sure does tweet...

    Hah, good to see suspicions confirmed by a real doc. Or X-ray technician, whatever

    Yeah, I follow Jesse Morse too for fantasy related stuff, and while his ortho-related stuff might be sound, once he started posting about ozone therapy, avoiding seed oils, and other pseudoscientific quackery I got curious and turns out his MD is from a diploma mill in the Caribbean. Doesn’t...

    2024 NBA Draft

    Kornet is definitely quick compared to Edey. It's not just Edey's foot speed- his processing on the defensive end is slow. He's consistently a step behind the play at the college level; NBA ball movement is going to give him whiplash. I see very little path for him becoming a rotation player for...
