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

    And the Bucks beat a 48-24 Nets team in 2021, Brooklyn certainly would've won 50+ if that was a full 82 game season. It is remarkable how much luck is involved in these things, and why it's so crucial not to let opportunities pass (I'd love to be able to look back on 2022 as a stepping stone...

    He also did the Gobert money signal: View: https://twitter.com/ShahbazMKhan/status/1787697304713200000 He's absolutely injured and that isn't making his life easier, but he is not taking things well.

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

    It's not a simple comparison because Jordan was 2 years younger as a rookie, and he lost nearly his entire second season to injury. I absolutely get the comp - he's got the look, athleticism, attitude, even some of the same moves and overall game. If his jump shot over the last couple of weeks...

    More turnovers than made field goals is a rough look. At least he's hustling (13 rebounds).

    He's Rashard Lewis. When he's on, he's unstoppable. When he's off, at least he's tall.

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    Thibs got to the ECF his first year as a HC. 2011 Bulls got to the ECF and even won game 1 against Miami before losing 4 straight.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Philly has the cap space to trade for him without matching contracts, I believe. If Butler hadn't played there (and left) already, I'd figure that Jimmy would be their #2 target after George.

    Derrick White, playoff alpha

    White is the sort of player who could fit anywhere, but what OKC needs more than anything (other than experience) is to get bigger. Orlando already has an embarrassment of riches in that area, and could take Harris' sport without them missing a beat.

    Derrick White, playoff alpha

    Yeah I think White would be the perfect 3rd option on a playoff team. Durable, efficient, unselfish and an excellent defender. No clue what their cap situation is, but he'd fit in great in Orlando as a veteran leader in a starting lineup with Suggs/Wagner/Banchero/Carter jr.

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

    Sure, and I've been saying that all year (or some combination of "their main guys are totally unreliable"). I'm just saying there's no mystery about what happened - Kawhi wasn't available. That was both easy to foresee and easy to explain.

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

    Lots of stuff went wrong, but if you knew that Kawhi Leonard was only going to play 2 games in this series (and that he'd play like total shit), would you have given them any chance at all? I wouldn't have. It's fun to throw blame on PG and Harden (and maybe Lue), but ultimately, they didn't...

    An Ode to the Fallen: 2024 - 2025 Offseason Thread

    He definitely thrived in that environment, and there's definitely an argument that he was the better player. On the other hand, Curry was coming off of back to back MVPs, and I don't think there's another player in league history that has more off-ball impact than Steph Curry (which won't show...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (4) Cleveland Cavaliers vs (5) Orlando Magic

    Maybe not the best month for my "Banchero will better than SGA and Ant" take, but not for lack of effort and production on his part.

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

    He got some body too, and it's not like KAT gets any benefit of the doubt. It's remarkable, referees famously swallow their whistles in the playoffs. This has been a problem for him forever, and it's somehow only getting worse (the last three playoffs, per36 his fouls have gone from 4.1 to 4.2...
