    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    The intensity the Kincks bring to these games is incredible and worthy of some begrudging respect. I'd sit Brunson in Game 3 unless he's back close to 100% though. (Same with OG.) Let Game 3 go and focus on the remainder.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I don't think they'll do anything different. They just won by 25. He just needs to make his shots when he has the chance. And if the defense adjusts, take advantage. This team is a wagon. They won't force adjustments on themselves.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    I'm sure the injury is playing a role but he's coming across like a frontrunning baby. His game is fun to watch but his antics are all annoying to me. He's going to have to get it together for them to have any chance. This is not the best series for Joker, clearly.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    Primarily their own reputations and standing among their peers. It was a lame, bush league thing to do. I doubt many guys want to be attached to that kind of thing. I hope he doesn't get suspended so there's no excuse and Minnesota can win this series with Denver at full capacity. (And I...

    KAT will pick up his 4th but I don't think it matters at this point.

    Keep it classy Jamal. Love how they are picking him up full court and just driving him crazy.

    Roasted GOAT

    Far exceeded my expectations. I was prepared to fully ignore this and I thought it was peak comedy in parts. Glaser killed it. Her line about shooting her boyfriend in the face for a lottery ticket to engage in certain activities with TB12 will stick with me. Gronk's I-95 length dick joke...

    Evaluating the Front Office

    True but in this case we want to be the exception. I'm not arguing it to prove any kind of rule. Purdy certainly was a bit lucky, but he probably never succeeds at all without the other moves (Aiyuk, CMC, etc.). Overall I have not been blown away by anything they have done, but I also have...

    Evaluating the Front Office

    I understand this but I think the really good front offices can withstand failures because their hit rate overall remains high and they produce good teams. SF being the latest example.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    Murry. I still respect the team but have found it easy to root against them.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    I still love Jokic and Gordon but it's amazing how fast the rest of the team has become easy to root against. I still think they'll be heard from during this series, and Ant (and Naz Reid) won't shoot that well. It's going to be intense.

    He's not giving them much on D. Must be the altitude effect no? But what he's doing isn't sustainable in multiple levels for sure.

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

    Fans that cross the line (if that's what happened here) should be removed AND players should refrain from throwing things at them no matter what. I know we all strive for clear answers on fault but really they both need to grow up and act better.

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

    It's going to be hard for the Knicks to muck things up against Indy like they did with Philly. If you're Indy just play with a ton of pace and tire out the 7-man rotation? The Knicks bigs will definitely be forced into defending at a whole different speed.
