If you can consistently beat your man off the dribble and get in the lane in the NBA you are by definition athletic. Then when he gets there he is ready for the pass or finish, playing very fast but in control. I knew he was for real when he finished through Sabonis for the and1. In the spirit...

As a long-time LA watcher (I used to smoke a j and go get $10 upper deck seats at UT), he is a wonderfully skilled player who never seems to come through in the clutch. The ultimate leaves-you-wanting-more guy.

Don't forget Norm Powell, the random guy who plays like Andrew Toney whenever I see him! Yes, I realize in real life he's a Trick or Treat player.

I'll never forget the security video of four strippers climbing over him like a jungle gym while he just sort of sat there and chilled.

It really is amazing how much the Celtics are hated by fans all over the league. I mean I get it on some level, but I think they're the most hated team. People make fun of Lakers bandwagoners People hated the Warriors but not anymore I guess many people will be schadenfruede-watching the Nets...

Hayward may be better than Myles Turner, but am I the only person who would be very happy with that trade? Adding an athletic big who can shoot and is still developing and is owed I believe 3 for $54 is a huge win for us in my book. And we add what seems like a legitimate shooter in Nesmith who...

I feel Tyler Bey coming on

Nesmith great pick. I could not take any more tiny guards. Shoooootttttiiiinnnnngggggggggg please!

good pick Wiz

I want Poku. Fuck it. Let's do it. I actually love his legs and movement, which is vital for a big man. No trade, Poku at 14.

I think this will basically be like the Fred Lynn situation, for the Sox at least. There were real reasons he left at the time, I suppose, but everyone looks back and thinks "Why the hell didn't Fred Lynn play his whole career for the Red Sox? It doesn't make any basic sense." And I believe Fred...

I'm old enough (I actually died in Ol Mexico in 1948) to feel nauseous at the thought of the Opener. I remain open to being worn down to grudging acceptance over time.

Looks like a good-looking kid, so maybe he'll keep the gift basket idea on ice. For real his swing balance looks beautiful in the scouting videos. I'm very excited about this new deal. Get a catching prospect and a player who looks to have a real shot to be a power-hitting second baseman over...

The player who gets thrown in is going to suck so bad. I wish he was coming from the Dodgers just on principle

Bloom should go to Friedman and say "Man, I'm getting KILLED on this deal. Blowback way worse than I expected. And now my future ace is hurt? That's not gonna work for me. Guess we'll take it to the trade deadline and I'll trade Price separately once he re-establishes value. Crazy league, huh?"...
