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

    For sure. I just meant “best by total W-L” (and by “best worst team”).

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

    The Pacific Division was the best division in the league this season by W-L, with all five teams 46-36 or better, and MVPs, Finals MVPs, and future HOFers galore All gone fishin’.

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

    Breen is totally wired two minutes into this LAC-DAL game. Still hyped about the Knicks?

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

    Richard Jefferson, right? Stated with confidence that Suggs, Wagner, and Banchero were on "the same trajectory" as Westbrook, Harden, and KD.

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

    Last Cavs points by anyone but Spida was a dunk by Tristan Thompson ... with 2:37 left in the 3rd. Woof!

    Why is a Houck v Paddack matchup a -125 for MIN? No respect!

    An Ode to the Fallen: 2024 - 2025 Offseason Thread

    Vaguely on the topic of this thread, I think it’s mildly noteworthy that Harden and LeBron are now in *dead heats* with Ray and Reggie, respectively, in career threes made (regular season plus playoffs). 1. S. Curry 4,365 2. (tie) J. Harden and R. Allen 3,358 4. K. Thompson 2,982 5. (tie) L...

    Who are you rooting for in the Play In Games?

    Did you get them to at least jump on the Cs bandwagon if/when the Warriors bow out, or are they ride or die with the Dubs?

    2023-2024 Celtics Wins Poll

    Okay, had a little taste with coffee this morning. A good mouthful for a chipmunk, if not a rabbit or giant NYC squirrel. Not bad at all! Possibly even tasty enough to make it an unsatisfying L for some, but I figure that and the $5 price tag (together with the risk that the Amazon delivery guy...

    2023-2024 Celtics Wins Poll

    Looks like the inside is relatively edible, actually. Hoping the poplar (“filet mignon of wood shavings” as it may be) is mostly in the hard shell (which is apparently edible, for rabbits and squirrels, anyway….) My other issue is the plastic packet came open in the soft Amazon pack, but what...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I’m revising the “Play-In” lexicon for the sad #9-10 matchups (GS at SAC, ATL at CHI) since none of them are actually playing to get “IN” to anything. The #7-8 is a legit Play-In game, as is final Play-In game (#7-8 loser v #9-10 winner). But #9 v #10 is really just a “Play-On” game.

    2023-2024 Celtics Wins Poll

    One Wild Harvest Stuffed Logz, just ordered on Amazon! We’ll see what I can do about making it edible, lol. You Celtics are good … real good. The best? We shall see. I gotta say, in my defense, I was totally onboard with the Cs being the best team in the league. I just thought given the depth...

    Marcelo Mayer, 2021 1-4

    I’m an instant gratification guy who would love to see the Mayer-to-Grissom-to-Casas combo on the field. like, this afternoon, but the consensus in the “SS possibilities” thread seems to be that it’s best to wait till late-season callups at the earliest (with a stint in Worcester in the...

    Steph has now hit 1,000 more threes (reg. season plus playoffs) than #2 all-time Ray Allen. Current tally: 1. Steph 4,358 2. Ray 3,358 3. Harden 3,340 4. Klay 2,937 5. Reggie 2,880

    At a casual glance, KD seems kinda high to me and LeBron seems kinda low. I'd put them on the same basic tier. Wemby kinda seems like his own category, but clearly #1 with a bullet in terms of trade value, right? Like, how much was it worth to the Spurs to hit lotto over PDX, Charlotte et al...
