  1. Because he gets people like you to constantly click and spread his clickbait. The Celtics aren't going to hold Bronny 'hostage' lol...
  2. Doesn't he still have a pending investigation into having sex with a minor? That usually brings down the value of a player.
  3. There has to be some picks thrown in for the Bulls. No way they do that without at least a few 2nds.
  4. The motto for the 2024 White Sox!
  5. Time for Jake to rake in some insurance runs!
  6. Houston Rockets The Rockets' big break came in the lottery, when they jumped up to No. 3 via Brooklyn. That puts Houston in perfect position to draft Kentucky guard Reed Sheppard, a darling of stats-based projections (like mine) who's an ideal complement to the Rockets' budding talent as a lights-out shooter. Houston fans might be dreaming of a big trade that gets the Rockets back to the playoffs, but for now the prudent move is to see how their March surge translates with the No. 3 pick and a healthy Steven Adams and Tari Eason in the mix. -- Kevin Pelton https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/40380729/how-all-30-nba-teams-nail-their-2024-offseasons
  7. Yikes... that Altuve error lead to at least 2 runs being scored here. Cleveland just finished off the Mariners too, need to take advantage and catch up.
  8. Well now Lebron HAS to return to the Lakers, which was probably the plan all along. I still don't understand the logic here, JJ has never been a coach. He has no experience being on that side of the clipboard, so to speak. Giving a rookie coach the reigns for a team expecting to compete for a championship seems like bad idea jeans.
  9. He doesn't say what they want to hear on sports radio shows.
  10. Kwan had a leadoff double today, getting him to exactly a .400 batting average on the year. He's still some ABs short of qualifying, but he's been on fire since coming back from injury. 14 game hit streak going now too.
  11. In other news, Tatum is eligible for a five-year, $315 million extension, which league circles view as inevitable. Derrick White is expected to sign an extension with Boston. OG Anunoby will not sign an extension with the Knicks before free agency starts. Paul George says he will be looking to play "the right kind of baseketball." People are speculating that means he's leaving LAC.
  12. Monty is the Bighead of the NBA.
  13. If I get the 'stamp of approval' from her, I might as well nail a bunch of puppies to the ground and run them over and crush their skulls with my campaign bus.
  14. Dana is going to be very disillusioned once he realizes his job was to build up the farm, only so Crane and Bagwell can use it to trade for 3 month rentals...
  15. Don't worry guys, help is on the way!
  16. To be fair, Search also sucks at searching.
  17. That contract was stupid when they signed him, but it's even stupider now that he couldn't make it through more than 1 season. They gave him a contract that would normally be given to a coach coming off a Finals win. CP3 has made him look competent a few times now, but he's absolutely worthless as a head coach when he doesn't have him to cover for him. 28 losses in a row is improbable for any team, even the Pistons.
  18. Kinda, this guy doesn't really seek out political people though. His other stuff is very silly scenarios he creates to troll random people and companies. This just fell in his lap thanks to some random guy on Reddit that offered to allow him to pretend to be customer service at a fake Parler knockoff website. Getting a guy to admit to lying to Congress on video is pretty phenomenal though, I hope he sends a copy to Merrick Garland.
  19. CJ Stroud and company report to training camp in 1 month! 😁
  20. This is a month old, so SIAP, but it just came up in my recommendations. This guy does standup where he messes with the type of people who ask to speak to a manager, but this time he got to mess with a former congressman and go to a right wing conference with a lot of famous politicians. Funny stuff, but also kind of scary how they don't pick up on some of the insane things he says to them.
  21. I would think Brown will win it. I can see an argument for him, Tatum and Holliday, but I think Brown is the winner.
  22. No way, I'm told he's an idiot and needs to be fired yesterday!!!
  23. You're talking about team defense rating, which is a product of Luka+4 guys on the court at the time of his minutes. That's not a great way of determining an individual rating as the other players are an important factor in how that is rated. The metric rewards steals, blocks and defensive rebounds, and penalizes you for being the closest defender when an opponent makes a shot. So if you can't stay in front of your man, and he drives into the paint for an easy shot, it's likely that a help defender will get hit with allowing the field goal because he's there trying to help on defense. I think we have seen some of that with Luka, which would hurt him on the eye test but not with statistics. There's also a factor of who is taking those minutes in place of Luka. Given Dallas' depth, it's quite possible they are putting a worse defender in his place. If that's the case, then they should expect to see a disparity when he's off the floor.
