    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Arsenal really lacked a sense of physicality on the attacking end. Players like Havertz just felt like they were too easily knocked off the ball and didn't create the kind of trouble that they should have given the kind of width Arsenal were getting.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Bayern's defending within their own box has been very good. Arsenal have generated some pressure on that end, but not a ton of truly great chances to score.

    Elgin was a lot better than those guys, and gets penalized for being a pre-merger player.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    The best player in NBA history to never win a title is Elgin Baylor, who went 0-7 in the NBA Finals, with six of those losses coming against the Russell/Celtics. Kind of hard to blame him for coming up small though--in 1962 the Lakers lost in seven to the Celtics despite Elgin averaging 40 and...

    Tatum or Ant?

    Another reason I think Tatum has been underrated by the national media is that he doesn't really transcend any archetype. Jokic, Doncic, Giannis and Embiid are all fairly unique players in NBA history, and put up certain statistical lines, or make highlight plays, that turn heads and make people...

    Pretty uninspired effort from the Warriors for a do-or-die playoff game. It's one thing to lose because guys like Keegan Murray and Keon Ellis got hot and made a bunch of shots, but giving up so many offensive rebounds and nobody except Kuminga really playing with intensity on the offensive end...

    The Krafts

    Yeah, I have no real interest in the Dynasty series or the Wickersham article or really anything that is about the ending of the Kraft/BB era. People who watched the team on the field over the past few seasons knew something needed to change--the fact that Kraft and BB were not best buddies...

    Going from New Orleans to an actual playoff atmosphere in Sacramento is a big change. With Monk out, Sacramento is really thin behind Sabonis and Fox. It will take a lot to KO Golden State here.

    Playing incredibly well and then getting hurt, the Zion experience. Nuggets will make short work of the Lakers, assuming health.

    Not a great game for Brandon Ingram so far.

    Blake Griffin officially retires

    Blake probably deserves some recognition for being a historically significant player in that he was the first "Holy shit, did you see this play?" guy of the social media age. NBA Twitter was built on the back of Blake Griffin dunking on people.

    Blake Griffin officially retires

    Blake will get in. He was a complete force before injuries zapped him of his other-worldly athleticism. And even after that, he still churned out one more All-NBA season with Detroit when his burst was basically gone, until injuries took him down for good. DeRozan is probably going to end up...

    The game is still sitting there for Barca--they are generating a lot of chances for a 10 man side.

    Tatum or Ant?

    I think a lot of pundits, and certainly social media accounts, are a lot more impressed with a player who has a mediocre supporting cast and winning 50 games, like Brunson, than a player with a great supporting cast and winning 64 games. It's more interesting of a narrative to talk about one guy...

    I think it was a penalty, that comes across as especially "cruel" given how much Barcelona have been in the referees book this game. Cancelo immediately waving his finger to the ref before he even completed the tackle was kind of a sign.

    Thought that was a PK live. Surprised it was given as a free kick.
