They traded a bunch of future picks to move up one spot when they were the only ones interested in moving up for him.

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.
Atlanta seems to have signs of life.

I don't understand that team really but hey.

He likes to lick titties and John Gruden had to explain to him what a hard count was and what it is used for. And the Bears traded up to get him, I think.

The fact that the Hawks and Wizards both have extremely homer commentating teams is funny since they might be the fanbase most reliable on transient fan ticket sales (at least the Suns sell their tickets to Phoenix people when the Suns are good).

I like Jeff Teague but it might just be bias since arguing about him with Bashez once for a week even though neither of us actually care about Jeff Teague.

I still do not know how Wall managed to get it to go in on that thousand mph drive into Millsap at the end there.

If Rondo was the key to the Bulls beating the Celtics, what is Wall going to do to them?

Pretty sure benching Amir and Jalen Brown was more instrumental to the Celtics playing better than Rondo's absence.

He is going to crush Marcus Smart's skull with his knee as Marcus Smart tries to bait a charge, and Marcus Smart will lay on the court writhing in his own blood, and no foul will be called

I feel like the Celtics mostly owned the Wizards in the regular season but I'll admit I didn't pay much attention besides hearing the laments of Deeceeians.

How can the celtics defend the Wizards if Otto Porter makes his threes is the question

Gobert should have, on paper, by far the least amount of trouble with a traditional center that can't remotely stretch the floor.

i make no claims of this being the case, but i assumed that the jazz weren't really a high scoring team, more an efficiently scoring team that plays good defense, bringing the other team's game down where they can out-efficient them.

so of course they can't out-offense the warriors (or clippers), but they can slow the game down, limit possessions and play good, efficient offense. grind, without the grit, and more 3s.

whether that will work against the warriors, we'll see. the warriors are something else entirely. never seen anything like them. best offense i've ever seen with rock solid defense is a hell of a combination. to beat them you need great defense and super-efficient or really prolific offense.
