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

    Typically if a fan is thrown out of a game for crossing the line in their verbal abuse they are then banned from the arena for a certain period of time. Why don’t they just ban Patrick Beverley from the arena for a year? BTW we should consider inviting the guy who came up with “Cancun on...

    Sometimes they have 2 of the top 15-20 players in the league. Oftentimes they have one or just the dumpster fire that Pelinka surrounds them with. With their current coaching history, I would avoid this job like the plague. Edit: yeah, what Cellar-Door said.

    The Unikornet

    There’s a peace to be had in admiring the beauty of a single game +/- without using it in any way, shape or form, to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a basketball player or players in any combination whatsoever.

    Gee, I thought that he was offering him a hand up.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    There seems to be a fair amount of denial on the effects of age going on in this thread. Let me assure you the effects are real and they are not merely physical. The decline in mental stamina and slowing of reaction time is very real, especially when you are in high stress situations that go on...

    That 0.8% is from Game of Zones fans.

    Doesn’t anyone actually watch Luka when he doesn’t have the ball.

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

    The idea that Embiid not being able to work on his conditioning every summer because he was recovering from injury every fricking year is possible but it makes my head hurt. I’m not ready to research this tonight.

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

    I agree and disagree. I think that his MVP type play has more to do with the Sixers hiring a competent coach OR Embiid actually listening to the coach. He has been surrounded by a lot of talent in his career and he has failed to drag them past the second round. He gets injured and/or cannot keep...

    I wonder if anyone has told him that the time to bust his ass for the team is in the off season so that he is less likely to be injured and out of breath in the playoffs.

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    I want Butler to pull a Willis Reed, hobble back on the court to play in game 4 down 3-0 and then get stomped on the way to a Celtics 30 point win.

    Hey! Jrue shoots 60% from the corners.

    2023-24 Celtics

    Now that the post season is here and the talking heads are forced to talk about the Celtics (Besides breathlessly reporting on last minute losses). I still have not heard this being mentioned on any podcasts or in any columns. I think it’s good but most of the blogosphere seems to think it’s...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    This is kind of like dieting. It doesn’t matter what diet you use, if you start paying attention to what and how much you eat, you’re going to lose weight. If you start working on your footwork and paying attention to your decision making, you’re going to get better no matter what pseudoscience...
