i am very sorry and regret to do this, but my gimmick for the next year is going to be earnestly pretending that giannis is going to the bulls, i apologize for knicksposting

The Knicks seemingly parlay irrationally confident internet fans into actual free agent meetings, so I say post for the franchise you want to root for

I'm hearing rumors that Anthony Davis plans on opting into the last year of his contract so he can join Giannis in Chicago in 2021

If Bucks gets swept/lose series, does Bud get fired?

Probably not. There are a ton of built-in excuses for this series in spite of his bad coaching. The strangeness of the bubble, the Kenosha shootings and its effect on the team's psyche, the strike, etc.

I got two combo guards on my roster to play with Giannis...gotta give an early extension to the one who can't shoot and let the one who can shoot walk in free agency

Fire Bud for not adjusting again when it mattered most. Not a championship coach. Find someone with more than strategic intelligence, find a tactical man who can arrange the traps and tripwires. Suks for the nice people of Wisconsin (not the bad ones from politics)

All of this is just going to lead to the Mavs very publicly ALMOST signing Giannis in 2 off seasons. Then he will go to the Heat and break my heart.

Rondo came in the game and drilled a three and I was like "here we go..." and then the Rockets went up by 15 by pure coincidence

Or as Declan pointed out, to miss the adjustment that everyone is shooting great 3p% in the bubble, so stop leaving guys uncontested in a quiet gym.

This is a Goran Dragic appreciation post. This Heat team just *clicked* together, even Meyers Leonard seems...useful

I’ve just found the extended highlights for Q4:

Channeling my inner SMG: Jimmy Buckets is the log and that missed open layup by Giannis in the 4th after his signature pirouette was a beautiful catastrophe

This is also a good point. Miami was an awful matchup for Milwaukee, especially considering the bubble scenario

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

In a way he is accidentally making a point because one of the reasons the Lakers don't go small is that they don't necessarily have a lot of small guys to go to.

I don't particularly like the Clippers and, despite the way the playoffs have been going, am still low on the Clippers, but if they Heat are actually doing this, I absolutely want a Heat/Clippers finals. I think that's the most exciting pairing left on the board.

And I'm pretty sure Jimmy would still torch those two defenders.
