    Roasted GOAT

    What a bro-fest. Gross. Not like one could expect anything different from a douche like Gronk, but .....to stick with the positive agree that Nikki Glaser was good (though not that good).

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

    I was essentially about to write the same thing. Perhaps they were a bit overrated, but even if so always with the caveat that they're treading a thin line needing to be injury free. If Murray gets healthy over the next few days (by the way, shouldn't they have sat him out for game 4 and/or 5...

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

    No kidding. Speaking of which, love the ESPN ban on PatBev, as that'll hurt an ego driven bully far more a fine. Be a fine precedent for TNT and Draymond.

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

    I was reading the Athletic post mortem today with the argument to run it back with PG13. It's a conundrum as he's terrific and a version of this squad with a healthy Kawhi (similar to Philly words about Embiid) is still scary. Don't really see a better option. That said, beyond the obvious...

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

    I have much the same sentiment and I don't know why, but it really depresses. Even last night watching Kyrie, who I hate as much as the next guy, I mean that was some damn amazing basketball. Even if Kyrie is a special case, the hate watching of LeBron, KD, Embiid....I mean, true greats, not...

    they have this year’s pick — #22 — but …sorta same difference.

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

    Beal to Detroit kind of makes sense. Detroit just wants to win 30 games and he makes no sense on Phoenix. I will say about Beal; he was lousy, for sure...but I will say he was competing his ass off when others would given up.

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

    I don't know, PG 13 seems like he's out of Clipper land if they lose (and even if not). My strategy would be simple: -sign George -rest Embiid a lot during the season. Roll your dice with that. With a healthy Embiid and the addition of PG13 this is a scary team. Not sure the former is possible...

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

    I read this on the internet: "Conference Semifinals: May 6-7, 2024 (but could move up to May 4-5, 2024 if the First Round ends early)"...so i guess some play? Assume they'd have to take into account competing events in arenas, etc., too. Still, my guess is Denver will close out in 5 and Minny...

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

    Credit to Harden, he turned it around. Been amazing. Same here. Sort of hate watching but also...admiring how great some of the play is. Kyrie is he who he is... but damn he's also pretty to watch. And now that Harden isn't constantly hunting fouls at the 3 point line, a lot easier to admire...

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

    I have a lot of sympathy for refs, but not sure how you miss a guy stepping out or not when you're right on the line lookin at it.

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

    I guess I'd defend them from all this criticism. In re being a stretch: I have had the uninformed opinion that Penix was way underrated. I don't know shit from shinola, but in my own personal book he's above Maye/Daniels. My opinion doesn't matter, but just to say while a minority opinion, I...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Isn't the idea in analytics that defenses can have more impact on stopping easy 2s at the basket more than they can impact 3 point shooting? So, basically, cut off the hoop as best one can and -- except against the Curry et al true sharpshooters -- take your chances with the other team's 3 point...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Kind of like Vegas, what happens in a game thread should stay in the game thread. The less cross-pollination the better. Btw, what was up with the fans? At least through the TV it seemed very quiet down the stretch ("stunned silence"?) and then people streaming out when it was still (barely...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    The Pats do need a QB, but obviously if the guy they want is there at #3 they take him as you don't mess around. If they're talking about a trade, it's self-evidently because they don't think the guy available at #3 is their guy. The Vikes would be fools to pay that price, which would be crippling.

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

    The Clippers looked great. Zubac dominating Gaff/Live was key, and the Mavs don't have the sort of beefy PF that can take advantage of Clips weakness at PF. The key will be Harden. Even without Kawhi I'd say the Clippers are the better team if Harden shows that he can sustain this level of...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    tl;dr: NBA players just hate Rudy. I actually was surprised 56% picking Denver. I can see the pick, not outrageous, but 34% picking Boston really seems to downplay what the Celtics have put together this year. Really looking forward to all of the playoffs, but part of me just wants to hit...
