    5/29 - The Last Of Us

    I like that too, but I'm not sure Dame's ever going to force his way out.

    Jaylen to Portland for Anfernee Simons and the #3 pick.

    We're all disappointed, but you're an embarrassment.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Additionally, Rivers was teammates with Dominique Wilkins when he dropped 47 in a losing effort against the Celtics in Game 7 of the Conference Semis in '88. I'll cut him some slack since his emotions must be all over the place while he ponders his next gig.

    Red Sox do not sign Yuli Gurriel

    I don't often leave the confines of the Port Cellar, but felt motivated to respond here. I would have liked to see some sign of actual remorse, and some thought to how the shit he said and did impacted Darvish/fans who witnessed it, rather than just paying generic lip service to the fact that...

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    We got 2022 NBA Finals Tatum tonight instead of '22-'23 Regular Season Tatum.

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    Exactly. There's no compelling reason to have a guy bigger than Tatum out there against this Warriors lineup. Who are we worried about making us pay, Kuminga?

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    Blake has given them some valuable, valuable minutes, but this is one of those nights where I want to see more White/Brogdon and less of our assorted pu pu platter of bigs.

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    The video that went viral of Ja tipping a waitress who didn't recognize him $500 got me. I'm unapologetically a fan.

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    Ja Morant for me. And Dame. And Jokic. A lot of the Western Conference stars who we don't see often enough against the Cs for familiarity to have bred contempt, I guess.

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    Could you say more about the church thing? I hadn't heard that before, and a cursory Google search isn't yielding much. (I wouldn't be upset for having more reasons to dislike Curry)

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    I feel like being down 5, given the JT early foul concerns, is a gift. The Warriors are fine, but far from inevitable. They've replaced way too many experienced vets with unproven young guys, and are trying to have their cake and eat it too by contending and building for the future. Tatum ended...

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    I haven't been subjected to an ABC broadcast since Game 6, and the disappointment of that performance, coupled with the heavy drinking that followed, sort of numbed just how white-hot my hatred for this group of announcers had become by the end of that series.

    12/10 The team with the chewed-up mouth guard

    I work a strange schedule that has kept me from seeing as much of the C's as I'd like this season, and for that reason, seeing this final form version of Tatum is still really fresh and exciting for me. The combination of speed, control and power on that drive against Draymond - and the degree...

    Would you trade Jaylen+ for Durant?

    My answer was no initially. After today's moves, it's escalated to "fuck no."

    Brogdon to Boston for Theis/Nesmith/2023 1st

    I guess the injury history did a number on Brogdon's value, but I'm still a little surprised the Pacers couldn't get more for him. Maybe they like Nesmith and think they can flip Theis to a contender at some point, but the first rounder Boston sent them seems unlikely to be particularly good...

    Brogdon to Boston for Theis/Nesmith/2023 1st

    I fucking love this move, and see no compelling reason to rush to trade one of White/Smart, given that we finally have the kind of guard depth we've been pining for. I'd be stoked to sign another big - preferably Thomas Bryant - and see how the team looks to start the season. Though if they are...

    Brogdon to Boston for Theis/Nesmith/2023 1st

    Holy shit! I guess we see why Brad passed on some of the guys who were available yesterday.

    Kevin Durant Sweepstakes

    I was partially joking, but the rationale would be that they get an actual asset in AD and a massive expiring deal in Russ, while ridding themselves of a horrendously toxic situation. I would assume LA would have to throw in at least one future first rounder for there to be any real traction.
