Everything non-basketball related sucks, which is why I only listen when he has the dorkiest guests. There's not as much air for a 30-second monologue about how wacky the phrase "getting his dander up" is when they're obsessing over pick-and-rolls or whatever

If the Hawks aren't willing to max Collins then it makes sense that they'd be willing to listen to trade offers, because someone's paying him this summer either way

e: i like how the Pacers are dead neutral. it seems fitting

I agree that the Knicks and the Bulls are passing the Celtics to ascend into the second tier of Eastern Conference powers

Also this makes me believe Draymond is incredibly important still

Tiny brain: Jokic is a solid defender based on watching games
Big brain: Jokic is an awful defender based on team stats and podcasts
Galaxy brain: Jokic is the best defender in the league based on a chart on Twitter

Everyone agrees I'm one of the best defensive minds in basketball. I merely choose to work unpaid for a MAC team

Lockback posted:

Honestly, he was an abyssmal coach overall but last season the Bulls team was playing better defense than you'd expect from their roster. If he managed to not completely sabotage himself and immediately lose his locker room he'd have been fine. But, you know. He didn't.

Maybe I have Boylen Derangement Syndrome but I feel like even his defense was just a gimmick that had ok results because it was atypical for the league / teams weren't taking the Bulls seriously. I have too many memories of games where a team would figure out how to easily exploit the hard blitzing action around the third quarter and pull away while the Bulls made no adjustments

Not putting Trae Young in the all-offense exhibition game in Atlanta is so stupid. Jayson Tatum should drop out for the good of the viewing public

Assuming Trae has the rightful claim to the most fraudulent spot (Tatum's), I don't think leaving Sabonis out is a particularly egregious snub. You could make the case for him over a few guys but he's not heads-and-shoulders above anyone else who made the team. I would probably put him in over Randle just because the high-assist big man could be fun in an All-Star Game, though

Double checking everyone's numbers, it looks like Jaylen Brown has cooled a little too as of late. I would also accept an argument that the Celtics deserve 0 representation in the ASG

Middleton played 23 minutes in the last ASG and put up 5 points on 2/7 shooting, so the coaches said "Alright that's enough of that"

Looked it up and it turns out Jimmy Butler actually used to be on the Bulls? Shame he left in what I can only assume was free agency

Oladipo probably isn't even going to be worth $22 million a year on his next contract, let alone something approaching the actual max, right
