    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    That is a good call. NBA Media was treating the Nuggets like the '96 Bulls

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Selling 1-year early trips up a lot of NBA teams/fans. Pat Riley can do and say whatever he wants, it's not like he has to cater to a fanbase. At some point, it will be just him & Alonzo suited up, sitting in the first 20 rows. :popcorn:

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Jimmy for Dame...I need some deck chairs to be re-arranged since neither will be available all that much over the next few seasons

    Derrick White, playoff alpha

    Thanks for the update. I was using Bobby Marks number after Derrick White triggered games played for postseason honors. Bobby Marks tweeted this out on March 22nd: Boston guard is now eligible for postseason honors. White was named All-NBA Defensive 2nd team in 2023. He has 3 pending...

    Derrick White, playoff alpha

    Yea. Most Top Players/Agents rarely make it to UFA and opt for large extensions early. Derrick seems pretty egoless compared to the modern NBA superstar and doesn't need a Free Agent contract to tell him he is a great player. I'm guessing $200M in career earnings with a $132M of that guaranteed...

    Derrick White, playoff alpha

    FWIW After all of White's incentives kicked in 6 weeks ago Bobby Marks tabulated that the max extension Brad can offer DW this Summer is $123M/4yrs If they win it all this season my tea leaves say he won't hold out for every last shekel & extend. Earlier this year there was some debate that...

    Tatum or Ant?

    You're not guilty of anything other than having an open mind to different basketball opinions. Timpf & the Herd Minions are Laker/Bron apologists. It's not shocking they are in search of Celtic/Tatum flaws to talk about. If it's annoying, one tap turns them off. A much bigger migraine is the...

    Tatum or Ant?

    Forget about the BUCKS Defensive Rtg going from 4th (111.9) in the NBA to 19th (115.8) in one season. If the NBA media just took a moment to stop slobbering over Dame Time's 24 PPG (on 51% eFG) to look at the damage of punting two efficient shooters in Jrue Holiday (43% from 3) & Grayson Allen...

    Tatum or Ant?

    Didn't we receive an 82-game and 1st-round playoff verdict on that one? Milwaukee brought back the same team (Dame for Jrue). Giannis had a monster statistical season. Middleton came back better than anyone thought. Even at full strength, they weren't all that dangerous. They went from a 58-win...

    Tatum or Ant?

    POINTZ! is what led nitwits to go crazy for Milwaukee when they got Dame by shipping out Jrue. How'd that work out?

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I'm not a Ham fan. He played Prince & Cam Reddish way too much to start this year. A bunch of other questionable in-game decisions. Palinka had a pretty terrible year signing Vincent, Wood, Hayes, Reddish. Bringing in Dinwiddie at the trade deadline was a nothingburger. Not drafting local kid...
