Even better is when a "great draft team" makes a terrible pick so we get to watch the pundits reach wildly into their asses to pull out a reason why that was a next level move.

Let me tell you why Bill Belichick knows something about Tavon Wilson that no one else does.

Its because he's been stalking anyone he'd remotely be interested in having on the team for the entire off season.

Which would earn him some sort of fantastic Gruden-ism, I imagine.

This isn't true at all, it's like saying that if an NFL game comes down to a two minute drill then only those two minutes matter

This is no more true in basketball than in, like, any other sport.

Which is to say that it is dumb and not true at all because the whole game matters.

If anyone watched the first round of the NBA Playoffs and said "only the last 5 minutes matter" then they probably are not legitimate sports fans, I mean I don't want to lay that gauntlet down so harshly but it's a fact

This has been the most baller playoffs I've ever seen, except for the Heat

Are you waiting for me to rescind that? It would own

e: re basketball, saying the last five minutes are all that matters is essentially saying you only care about the outcome of the game and not the sick plays that happen every couple minutes or more, so might as well just look it up after it's over in that case

I live in DC. I never really liked basketball/hockey but when I moved here my roommate was a big Wizards and Caps fan so I adopted them. Phillies/Eagles/Wizards/Capitals is a very weird mix. I like the Nats too.

I get a lot of stares at Nats/Phillies games with my Phillies jersey and Nats hat or Nats shirt and Phillies hat.

My only issue with the NBA is I don't have a team to root for now. I was a heat fan during the Tim Hardaway/Alonzo Mourning era but that would just feel gross now. Kevin Durant is awesome but I feel bad for Seattle. Pacers are cool but gently caress Indiana.

It was significantly more gross to be a Heat fan back then because that is the least fun team in the history of basketball.

For maximum hatred of winning I can wear a mid-90s Eagles jersey, Nats cap, Flyers/Capitals goalie mask and Wizards anything.

Joke's on him though because I went to a D3 school where our team got blown out 63-14 all the time :smith: Actually, that's pretty close to Northwestern football isn't it?

edit: My high school team won PA AAAA States my freshman year though, so at least I've got that. Not that I played on the team or anything.

I'm also missing out on how losing 63-14 every game wouldn't qualify you to wear a Northwestern jersey.

Well we certainly weren't going to win the Big 10. Or any other conference for that matter.

One game we ended up losing a 77-70 shootout though. That was fun. D3 football doesn't really do defense apparently.

I lied, it was 63-50.

Longest time of possession on a scoring any drive was 5 minutes, 10 seconds :allears:


Basically, you all need to find your nearest D3 school and go to a game sometime. It's hilarious.

Remember when some Pats poster tried to gaslight himself into thinking that Tavon Wilson was their 7th round pick and their 7th rounder that had contributed more than expected (I don't even remember who it was specifically) was their third? That was great.
