    Team USA 2024

    Completely off topic, but speaking of hoops in Greece, I’ll be there in a week and just watched this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_(film) It’s a pretty cool sports story, seems like it was very big deal in Greek hoops history. The full movie’s on YouTube. My girlfriend’s father is a...

    2024 NBA Summer League - The Baylor and Bronny version

    Well that's because every post of yours is a two-sentence kneejerk contrarian delve into the ODD psyche. The next time you put thought or effort into a post might be the first, but using that against other posters is a fun new twist.

    2024 NBA Summer League - The Baylor and Bronny version

    Had to put it on mute after about a minute, but from what I've seen from Bronny so far in SL, Angry Guy's certainly right about the lack of effort. Lots of half-assed closeouts and drifting back. In the second clip of that video, the one where Screamy points out that he should cut to the...

    Ason on Jayson crime. Seems a bit desperate but why not I guess.

    National Celtics discourse

    I only know Snapper from his broadcasting days, but I imagine most people my age (46) who watched a lot of hoops in the 90s would recognize the name and probably the voice from his NBC days. Like most who knew the man, Steve had great things to say about Bill Walton, who he knew as his dad’s...

    National Celtics discourse

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who was annoyed by the hypocrisy. I get it. Luka's incredible, a basketball genius and all that. But Lowe is so over the top with him as a superhuman hoops gawd who can dice and dissect any defense you could possibly throw at him. I'm fairly sure the only reason...

    Yeah, Steve Jones Jr. is Snapper Jones's kid. He played at UNLV and did video coordinator and assistant coach stints for the Griz and the Nets. He does a lot of good video analysis on Twitter in addition to the podcast, but seems like they're focusing more on the WNBA recently.

    NBA Finals: Celtics vs Mavs

    Well if it makes you feel better (and it shouldn't, because it's caveated response to a silly argument), I think Al Horford has a much better chance at making the HoF than most give him credit for. His NBA career doesn't get him there (although 5 All Stars, an All NBA 3rd team, with his...

    Right. So its a good thing that Lowe didn’t say that.

    National Celtics discourse

    The Lowe Post from yesterday? I just re-listened and I think that’s overstating it a bit. Here’s the quote: “You could argue that Mitchell, at his very very best (he added lots of emphasis on the verys), maybe, on some nights, is better than Tatum. I think Tatum is just a better player. If it’s...

    Jaylen Brown: More than enough in Year 8.

    To borrow an example I remember it's creator giving to illustrate, take a guess as when Al started and stopped playing alongside Joel Embiid:

    Jaylen Brown: More than enough in Year 8.

    Yeah, it's worth emphasizing that DARKO tries to measure impact, not talent, so it's not like a given player's progression curve is context independent.

    Tatum or Ant?

    Speaking of Ingram, this thread got me thinking of all the heated “would you take Tatum vs player X” guys over the years. The original, if I recall correctly, was Ben Simmons. Ingram isn’t particularly close. Booker’s probably the closest. Kyle Kuzma (yes, this was a thing) is definitely the...

    Tatum or Ant?

    The method of following up a ridiculous strawman with a completely anodyne counter to it is so exhausting.

    Tatum or Ant?

    I missed this when it happened live, but this lack of effort and focus in a must-win game, tied with 4 minutes left is big, huge yikes: https://x.com/justinmacmahan/status/1794953940317986816?s=46 When he has the confidence and energy he had for a couple of minutes after his dunk, he’s...

    Jaylen Brown: More than enough in Year 8.

    Yeah, I saw that, it's uncanny. I'm taking JB, but mostly because he's a lot cooler and I like rooting for him.
