I'm so happy D'antoni is back.

And speaking of things that make me happy, George Hill is my new favorite basketball player

If you go by identical body type (6'2 with 6'10 wingspan) and athleticism, Reggie Jackson and George Hill are the Goofus and Gallant of the NBA

We had Teague vs George HIll talk just before the season began. I was so wrong in thinking that Teague was an adequate replacement. George Hill has been playing fantastic for the jazz.

Pacers style of play held George Hill back on offense. It's better he's gone so he can go kick rear end. Teague is a fine replacement, he is still recovering from a torn patellar tendon. I think he'll be fine.

He seems to enjoy being there, but they got a gently caress-ton of work to do to keep good players rather then poo poo it up and hope they find players. Ben Simmons being worth a poo poo will go a long way towards keeping him.

I thought this was a joke about the 76ers giving him a super early extension, but then I remembered he's in the 3rd year of his contract.

Great time to be a Bulls fan. 3-0 Bulls with an SRS of 20 way ahead of the entire league. Jimmy Butler has an ORtg of 150.

Shipping Rose/Noah to NYC and importing Wade was a good idea.

So how do we feel about the Cleveland Indians potentially blowing a 3–1 series lead in the finals. Is this karma for LeBron's Halloween party? A sure sign that the Cavs will miss the playoffs this year? Discuss

I'm apathetic on baseball wins/losses.

Wasn't that long ago the Yankees blew a 3-0 lead against Boston.

It's always been funny when people trot out the entirely subjective and meaningless 'Melo is the best pure scorer!' bullshit when it's hard to even consider him a modern day star. He's a 1b option offensively at his best, at his worst he's a fat loafing black hole and defensive sieve.
