Honestly i think it would be the jazz. Even though it would be in the Finals and the Jazz would most likely have the best record and rolled though the west. You know if they both get there it would be big city,big stars vs Utah.

This makes me think that the Nets assembly of superstars losing to Nikola Jokic doddering around like he's wearing flip flops would be even better.

I remember many antimask proponents stating that there'd be a plague of lung bacteria and people collapsing due to lack of oxygen by this point. It just didn't happen.

So I’m watching The Last Dance for the first time and it’s pretty cool but this is so obviously not actually a documentary and rather a hagiography. So is the whole narrative that Jerry Krause was the stupid fuckup that ruined the Bulls dynasty because of his own ego accurate?

MJJ commissioned The Last Dance after LBJ won the 2016 title in Cleveland. The Last Dance redacts Jordan's Wizards' years and also villainizes Scottie Pippen. There were plenty of Bulls who barely said a word.

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.
LMA made the right decision for himself for sure. Him as a catch and shoot guy for passes from the main three seems like an easy way to get his numbers up and get another contract.

Considering how mad some of them are over Jared Dudley, Philly would be very funny. But honestly most teams would be pretty funny, except for Milwaukee. Doesn't seem like there's a story there.

Also any Western conference team would be funny, esp Utah, Denver, or Portland

I love the LMA move for the nets for narrative alone. in 20 years noone's going to give a poo poo about guys who never won anything before this year like Blake or LMA, they'll just see that the Warriors won a fluke title in 2015 against the hospitalized Cavs, performed the biggest chokejob in history the next year, and then depended solely on KD's greatness before falling into disarray upon his departure.

That said, it'll also be really funny if the Nets don't win the title this year. No downside.

Before each playoff game they are going to have to give Lamarcus Aldridge the same poo poo they give to Joe Biden before he is allowed to be seen in public.

I guess hoping the Lakers would be smart enough to choose the good player Deing over the big name was the wrong thought on my part for Pelinka.
