Care to comment Dray?

I'm right so infrequently that I have to highlight the times that it actually happens. But Eason looks like the truth in Houston. As it turns out, it didn't really matter if the Cavs had drafted him as he would have been on his way to Utah in the Donovan Mitchell. But he looks like a future star and Houston has something interesting cooking.

I agree - I do like the rules. But just like with every other rule, I wonder how/if these will be enforced especially in close games in winning time or the playoffs.

Didn't see this posted - I'm sure this won't generate a lot of controversy and discussion.

Poole must have said something about Lebron.

This guy is just next level. Never seen anybody like him. Just absolutely game-breaking. I wonder if Victor and 18 year old Lebron were in the same draft who would go first.

The vibes there are not immaculate. I think they fall off a cliff this season.

East 1) Milwaukee 2) Cleveland 3) Boston 4) Philly 5) Brooklyn 6) Toronto 7) Miami 8 ) Atlanta ECF - Cavs over Milwaukee in 6 West 1) Memphis 2) Clippers 3) Golden State 4) Denver 5) Dallas 6) Minnesota 7) New Orleans 8 ) Lakers WCF - Clippers over Memphis in 7 Finals - Cavs or Clippers in 6

Free money. If the Cavs don't make the Finals it was obviously rigged.

Loving this Stefanski offense. Brissett has been elite to start the season... Baker meanwhile?

"I WAS TOTALLY HACKED!"

What a horrible decision. Just atrocious.

It's fashionable to poke fun at the Knicks but they dodged an enormous bullet here - even with Mitchell, it's quite debatable that NYK is a playoff team and all those picks they would have had to give up would have been lotto. At least with Cleveland, it's extremely likely those picks will be in the 20s (unless strange shit happens).

But at least he'll get himself one of these -

He wrote about his cancer diagnosis back in March.

Jonathan Tjarks did a lot of NBA stuff for the Ringer and...well...fuck. Home on hospice Journal entry by Melissa Tjarks — 13 hours ago Saturday Jon woke up with reduced feeling in his legs, and Sunday he woke up and couldn’t feel them at all. Monday evening his speech started slurring and we were very concerned. We went to the hospital from PT/OT rehab to get him checked out. They did a CT and ordered a stat MRI. At 3 am Jon had the MRI of his brain and whole spine. It showed that a tumor that was teeny tiny two weeks ago is now compressing his spinal cord again at T8. Jon is permanently paralyzed from the belly down. Another tumor is pressing on his hypoglossal nerve, which controls tongue movement, so half of his tongue is paralyzed. It’s really hard for him to swallow, and his speech is significantly slurred. Eating and talking take a ton of energy now. The tumors in his liver, skull, and elsewhere have grown significantly. One of our doctors said that he had only seen cancer grow this quickly once before. He’s been in practice for decades. What are the odds. The neurosurgeon said Jon is not a candidate for surgery again—two surgeries in two weeks for a healthy person would be difficult enough. DNA sequencing came back, and he has MEK, MET, and P53 mutations. There are not any known drugs to effectively target these mutations. They’re doing some extra tests on his tumor using the FISH technique to rule out any other possibilities, but it’s unlikely we have a targeted biologic drug. Chemo is out too because he’s gone through every known effective combination for sarcomas without going into remission. And he’s no longer a candidate for clinical trials because he’s deteriorated so much physically in the last month. So, our team told us it was time to go on hospice. Y’all… there are no words....

Don't have a spotify account so can't listen to his whole podcast but apparently Simmons was gushing about the Cavs even more than South Austin's mom soon after closing time.
