Addressing blatant nut-shots in the NBA is at least 30 years overdue, but it is funny that it's the defining characteristic of the playoffs so far.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Grizzlies are something crazy like 0-15 now as a road underdog and they're terrible against the spread (that late foul meant they didn't cover)

Lakers been winning a lot of "team" games lately. Always nice to be able to have some random roleplayer go off for 20 and then you still have LeBron late in the game

ja has xavier tillman running the break with him right there and thats probably a dunk if he gives it up. instead it's chest first into a close Bron, turnover.

The Lakers somehow being allowed to assemble a legitimate basketball team from scraps at the deadline is one of those things that I initially brushed off as an overblown sports media angle, but it's increasingly apparent that it was a genuinely huge and insane inflection point in this season that should be discussed more if anything

We got 3 versatile role players for a guy who didn't fit at all (even if he is making it work better for the Clips) AND another reliable wing in Rui. Plus we ditched 3 guards who were clogging the rotation in Westbrook, Bev, and Nunn

Implied Win Probablity based on betting lines

Celtics 99.5%
Nuggets 99%
Knicks 85%
Warriors 73%

Can't find lines for the rest; my guess is you'd say something like 90% for the Lakers? And... 66% for the Heat? And like 99% for the Suns.

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.

I would like to at least seem him get a shot instead of these four guard lineups though. He's a bad defender but no one's playing defense when AD's sitting anyway.

Grant Hill's late career reinvention as a role player was also a real feelgood story because in the early years of the decade it looked like there was absolutely no way Grant Hill was going to be having useful seasons well into his 30s

If you knew his spots in 2K, you could basically use him as a lesser pro to LeBron and the old Suns teams became unstoppable.

Edit:
The 2k franchise was so good from 2k9 to 12.

yeah i dont really have faith in ham to be able to figure out a new rotation on the fly and he abandoned Mo so quickly he basically got zero reps in with the team, but they for sure want to play an actual 2nd center somewhere in the rotation at least some # of minutes. it would make the lebron/rui/all shooters lineups easier to defend but they arent really setting the world on fire anyway and they give up infinite layups and 3s

Absolutely. If he’s healthy give him some minutes. Bron and AD are dying out there, team needs some rest minutes with height.

The one thing Mo can do consistently is bomba 3s, so he'll probably help the spacing
