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

    Nice lash out, but if you think the Celtics are entitled in the eyes of the officials, you weren't tuned in for the Brad Stevens and Daniel Theis doormat era. It has taken JT's superstar status for them to nudge into slightly getting the benefit of the doubt on calls. (And of course the rules...

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    Jrue himself must not have seen it that way. Grande asked him point blank whether the Tatum play was a big deal or nothing, and Jrue said it's always a big deal when Tatum gets undercut. As long as they use this to want to focus harder to kick their ass on the court and they don't try tit for...

    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    Shocker that the Heat would try some dirty-ass play late. Coach Spo talks softly but he was hand-picked by Riley who was a dirty SOB as coach.

    Drummond should just retire at halftime, yikes. Edit: Wait, he's only 30 y.o.? Thought he's been in the league forever, wow.

    I thought only the Cs could shoot this poorly against Miami in the playoffs.

    Here come the zombie Heat. I feel like Coach Spo has a lot of Belichick in him, not outwardly but I think he relishes the challenge of competing without Playoff Butler (TM).

    I know we want moar gamezz! but watching that dramatic intro to a poor basketball game, can't help but wish I was watching an actual first round matchup tonight.

    If no one watches, will the game happen? (Who am I kidding, I'll give the game a peek...)

    Team USA 2024

    Like I said, I want more of a red-ass for a 12th guy and a clearer hierarchy on the team, but this is more of a preference. Does it change how Team USA performs in the grand scheme? Probably not. But when you have a short period of preparation I'd prefer to make things just a little easier for...

    Team USA 2024

    When he just doesn't show up like the end of his Spurs stint, they can pick a new 12th man. Seriously though, how uninspired is that pick. I'm in the "make a team" camp as opposed to a group of all stars.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    This will probably be good enough even with limited range to do really well in the league this year. The WNBA has not shifted completely over to the 3-pointer or bust mentality that the men's game is currently in. There are around 100 players in the NBA that average 5 or more 3-point attempts...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Yeah with Brionna Jones returning from injury, the Sun have a pretty full roster. They also traded for Moriah Jefferson, who has steadily improved during her 7 years in the league. They were just throwing darts at the wall with their other picks to see who could possibly stick and show out...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    The WNBA draft experts (who they are, I have no idea) thought Leila Lacan could be the second best guard prospect after Clark. She plays in the pro league in France at 19 y.o. I think the French league partially conflicts with the WNBA schedule, so depending on pay who knows her likelihood of...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Even past Caitlin Clark, a lot of talent entering the WNBA tonight. For reference, Alissa Pili is projected to go #13. She scored 37 points against both USCs this year. (Pili is undersized as a frontcourt player and needs some conditioning, but in any case a good barometer of how deep the draft is.)

    It appears the Pacers will finish 7th all time in team points per game this season (currently at 122.9 ppg). Celtics are 23rd all time at 120.3 ppg, though you could argue this would be a bit higher if a majority of their games were more competitive. Doug Moe and the mile-high three (Alex...

    If they pump Scottie's tires one more time and have to say "no disrespect to Bryson" lol. I'm already drunk off this drinking game. Meanwhile Bryson is in the clubhouse saying 'Disrespect taken, sir.'

    2024 Masters

    We need a "Day golf today" thread like the "Day baseball today" under the Sox forum. Feels like the Open Championship week where I can get started in my home office and flip on the TV for a major golf event.

    Tatum or Ant?

    I'm not necessarily seeing the age difference being the deciding factor when comparing a 26 and 22-year old. So what, Tatum has 12 years left in his career and Edwards 16? It's not like they are both older and it is 4 years versus 8 years of production left. Tatum wouldn't have to change much...
