It’s crazy to me that Bam hasn’t won a DPOY yet. The fact that he can lock up both Giannis and Dame is just so damn impressive.

The real life version of being hanged or sent to The Wall.

This comment made me realize that between his size, agility, mic presence, and general personality, Draymond could probably be a great WWE heel.

Boban? He’s at least not gonna get completely destroyed by size and he almost killed John Wick.

Jabari Parker never quite made it to being the Bucks’ franchise player, but he was supposed to be. Then he got injured and the unknown skinny kid from Greece drafted the year before him got big.

Boooo I need more football, now I’m just bored at my cousin’s house and we’ve all already done all the cliche small talk.

Well played, Celtics. Final score makes it look closer than it was for sure, but I also believe the Bucks can play a lot better than they did tonight.

The C’s defense has been great. Sure, if the Bucks make a couple more open or semi-open 3s maybe this at least is single digits for a lot of the 2nd half, but they’re just shutting down anything easy and making even the difficult stuff extra difficult.

Derrick White is so fucking good. Every championship contender becomes truly elite having a guy like that.

Ah, so it’s gonna be that kind of night. Time to start cooking for tomorrow instead.

If only I knew how to cook.

Admittedly I can’t get past the paywall, but it seems premature to be putting the Bucks #1. I imagine this is one of those lists where they weigh recent results pretty heavily, so that Charlotte loss for Boston and the recent Murray-less struggles for Denver were big reasons. Still not sure if they deserve to be above Philly either though.

Regardless, glad to see Milwaukee seemingly starting to put it together at least though. I’d agree with top 5 for sure.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this becomes the norm for awhile, at least as long as the NBA’s “meta” stays the same. Kids who were 12ish when the Warriors and then a few years later the Rockets started really revolutionizing how the game was played saw how important being a 3-and D player was, and how it can legit lead to max contracts for roleplayers. And shooting is one of those skills that, at least to a certain point, is teachable and can always be worked on. So they committed to defense at a young age because they saw that it’s valued both on the court and on the paychecks.

The Flying Pig lmao.

I’d love to see an Inside the NBA skit where they’re told their nicknames on air. Chuck would laugh at his, Shaq would angrily take off his glasses, but then everybody would laugh at how Kenny probably doesn’t even have a nickname.

Were all of these courts vetted as far as working with the ads and colors of jerseys? It’s weird to see purple jerseys on a purple court when the Bucks had to stop using their cream-colored jerseys because the league said it was messing up ads.

Lol Bally is so trash.

Why can’t anything ever be easy?

When your knees are worth that much money, doing your due diligence makes all the sense.
