    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    Pats had to have a lower grade on Kingsley to not move up for him there at a big position of need.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    That looked awful, but do think that was Westbrook trying to make a play on the ball. By rule, though, a hit in the head on the break and in the air should be a flagrant

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    They threw that into the backcourt just to get him a full head of steam---I was like "why' and then I saw the play. What a game.

    Indiana not being able to put the ball in the basket at all was not on my Bingo card for this series...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    Dame does on offense; on defense, he's constantly trying to slide and get a charge and doesn't ever seem to get away with it (fortunately)

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    Pacers really tightening up late third/fourth. I feel like Siakam is trying to be a bit too mcuh of a scorer for them.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    The only way I can make any sense of it (certainly not to defend it) would be if they just absoultely fell in love with Penix during pre-draft process and after Cousins was signed. At that point, maybe, they say "this kid is the real deal, we want him. And we'll figure out how to manage...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    That is reasonable and could be true. I don't personally get any great sense of his priorities now----one thing that has changed since he moved to LA is that his perception of where Bronny is/when he will be in NBA are surely different. Which way that cuts, and how he's thinking about rest of...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Right,a nd if I read your subtext correctly you're saying it's less the scheme than players effort. Which I wouldn't disagree with

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I thought they were much softer on the drop in game 2, and have read others with same assessment. It is subjective though---once you're in drop, how far and how soft is hard to calculate so it is a perception game. It was interesting to me in the game thread I was on the 'it's a bit of a...

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

    To me the wrapping his leg around him initially is perhaps the worst of it, because that is not at all a basketball play or move in any way. It's a flagrant and a bit dirty, but agree it is not grabbing him out of the air---he's trying to foul immediatley because he knows a dunk is coming...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    That's an interesting article, and explains some of the different perceptions I've seen between (roughly) "bad defense" and "make or miss league" as diagnoses. Given Game 1 success, I'm a bit surrpised they adjusted the coverage for Game 2, and then it didn't work. So that is also one I...

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

    I have been lower on Embiid than many over the last few years---he has (in the past not so much today) been out of shape; he's struggled with intensity; and he's a bit of an up-and-down personality from what I see. I gotta say---this year's version is incredibly impactful on the court and has...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    To me the primary problem was the lack of pace and movement on offense---they let themselves be turned into a one-on-one team, and Miami is more effective that way defensively AND benefitted from an awful KP game. That is not to say the defense was great, but Miami hit a lot of threes that were...
