  1. The "we're afraid to compare him to LeBron" graphic. I mean give me a fucking break. Throw Bird and KD up there as well I guess.
  2. Yeah we drafted him and then he blew up a federal courthouse and left that disturbing manifesto. Or whatever he did to get in trouble I can't exactly remember.
  3. Tonight may get a little crazy.
  4. That's probably accurate.
  5. I don't know. I wouldn't call that "a ton". They played the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the West. One was a little banged up - one wasn't really at all (I mean Ant obviously wasn't 100% but he isn't human). That's more than a lot of title winners can say. I think they got a typical amount of luck en-route. Play that playoffs 100 times I think OKC wins 80+ of them.
  6. Y'all might be turning into a serious fucking problem.
  7. You can't be trusted. Personally I'd like to see us get a game above .500 before getting super invested or thinking they can do anything.
  8. Joe would fuck that dude up.
  9. Simmons and Russillo works so well because it brings out the best in both of them. It lets Bill think outside the box and be goofy and overreact and it lets Ryen keep all of that shit in check while at the same time not have to do as much lifting. Russillo - for my money - is the best voice on the NBA and has been for years now. But he shines best when he can play off of someone else. If you're going to do Bill you have to know what you're getting into and adjust for some of his biases and quirks. There are pods where he has people like Mahoney on and Bill just dominates the convo and it isn't good for anybody. But his NBA stuff with Russillo and his guess the lines pod during NFL season is some of the best sports media going. Bill is like Rogan minus the politics. They are both too big and rich for their own good. But when it hits right with either of them - when it's the right guest, the right conversation - they plain and simply outclass anyone else in their arena. It's why both of them are worth 9 figures plus.
  10. 0% - we're taking Harper.
  11. Her team fucking sucks. Caitlin and co. have a little squad and I wouldn't be surprised if they make a run this year. The Sky are irrelevant and Reese isn't the type of player to ever drag a team to anything. For anyone that cares about the actual games and results or even pays attention to them I think we're going to look back on this and laugh. I'm already laughing. There's a huge influx of extremely talented players that are going to seriously raise the competition level of this league and a player like Reese is going to get left in the dust. Unless she gets lucky and the next Magic Johnson gets drafted to her team. Even then - that player will be the major star over her.
  12. We're close. I swear to God we have to be. I know that because we have $30M players who I never want to see pick the shirt up again. Who are getting benched in crap competitions with our C team playing. That is a hallmark of a country that has the talent to win a World Cup or at least go very deep. We just have to figure it out.

    2025 Club World Cup

    Okay maybe this comp has legs.
  14. Russillo laid into him for that shit, too. This draft is fascinating. Not sure I've ever seen so many storylines and so much intrigue. We know 1 and 2 but past that a lot of this shit is anyone's guess and it feels like it's going to be an especially impactful draft that could swing the future of pretty much any team picking in the lottery if not past that. It feels like there are 8-10 high, high impact guys on the board it's just hard to sus out who and where they are. I can't remember ever being this excited to watch the draft.
  15. That's a total troll account.
  16. I've been thinking about it and I think I lean towards OKC still pulling it out but there's no way to know. OKC was extremely deserving of the title this season. They may lose in 7 if Hali's Achilles holds but they went through a bunch of teams that weren't there by accident or missing players due to injury or what have you like you could say about some other runs (*cough* Golden State 2015). As dysfunctional as Denver was this year Jokic is still by far the best player on the planet and that was a really good team they got through. That Minny team isn’t a fucking joke, either. I'm just not a fan of them or how they play and was pretty devastated the way that Haliburton went down but this is why we watch. We'll see if someone can take them out next season. A Houston/OKC WCF would be fucking epic (think the Spurs are a year away from anything like that).
  17. I'd love DQ at 14 I don't think he gets there.
  18. NBATV just mocked ClayJu to Miami at 20. I don't think he goes that high but Riley has been slipping.
  19. Lol. Fuck that.
