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

    This is exactly what a fake Shams account would tweet, yet somehow it’s real?

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

    I'm extremely susceptible to being prisoner of the moment, but this feels like the West Finals. The Nuggets and Wolves definitely had the best opening series of any team, while the Clippers and Mavs seem to have huge question marks. OKC took care of business against compromised competition, so...

    Global Football Odds & Ends

    I have very little understanding about labor laws in the United Kingdom, but it’s interesting that employers are allowed to impose a cap on employee earnings without collective bargaining.

    NESN on ROKU question

    It's improved, but it's still the worst streaming app I use along with League Pass. There are crashes and you'll have to restart, but usually once you get it working, it goes smoothly and without interruption. The 4K HDR quality is great if your device supports it.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    I think there is a chicken/egg causality issue with some of these arguments you're hearing. It's a fact of recent NBA history that is extremely hard to win a championship without a consensus top-five player. However, being the best player on a Finals-winning team usually results in being...

    MLS 2024: It’s Leo’s league, we’re all just playing in it

    The Revs fans at my tailgate along with myself placed some irresponsibly large wagers on Miami after Seth Macomber broke that news story. Things were a bit hairy after the opening goal, but unsurprisingly the malnourished Revs played much worse in the second half. On a related note, how far has...

    MLS 2024: It’s Leo’s league, we’re all just playing in it

    I love the stadium clock counting past 45:00 and 90:00. That’s a huge benefit to spectators. I haven’t noticed the substitution rule be enforced yet, but the treatment rule seems to be working well. The Revs had to play down a man for two minutes because Farrell stayed on the pitch with an...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    Fate seems to be intervening on a Final Destination level to prevent the Wolves from winning their first series in decades (injuries to a coach, Ant’s scare, Conley’s brain fart) but the Suns are already in Cancún.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    Few moments cooler than when Ant gets by his defender and you’re wondering how violent his dunk is going to be. Four straight awful possessions for Beal EDIT 1. turnover 2. turnstile on AE dunk 3. turnover 4. fouled out

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I’ll add to the list that it also results in fewer threes and more twos the Celtics “optimized” offense.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    Opening weekend was a dud, except for NO-OKC, but the games have been great since then. Only MIA-BOS and ORL-CLE have been blowouts, but both of those series are close.

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

    Those dates are basically accurate. All the game sevens are scheduled for Saturday-Sunday, May 4-5. The NBA will make sure they have enough programming for the weekend, but they won’t start round 2 any earlier than that.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Zach Lowe pointed this out on his most recent pod, and I thought it was very astute. He noticed the Heat had their weakest defender (often Herro) on Brown instead of White as anticipated. The Celtics’ offense has bogged down before when mismatch hunting. One example I remember was going...
