Remember like two years ago when everyone thought Atlanta would be a force in the East for some time. Then the Brooklyn pick swaps turned into Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bud started making dumb FA decisions
Which people? I think even as they made the conference finals people didn't really respect them, and them falling back into the field was the expectation.

Is it just pure luck that the Rangers are relatively well run and the Knicks are a bottomless pit of despair? How can Dolan oversee both operations and have completely different results?
He doesn't do much for the Rangers. He used to just leave everything to Sather. When he had a more active role they were ran as bad or worse than the Knicks.

On the one hand Magic is basically a well-paid hype man but on the other hand it feels like this is going to be hilarious if it doesn't turn out well
I mean it just sounds like the kind of thing you should say about any highly drafted guy.

So people who look ahead and know about basketball prospects

Who should I be looking at in next years draft to hype up and pin my future hopes as a Bulls fan on?


Only Luca Doncic and Michael Porter?
I have previously heard high level praise for Ayton and (to a lesser extent) Bamba.

Im mad that the trade machine doesn't have cash considerations as an option

Kyrie is the exact level where he can contribute a lot as the #2 guy while if he were your best player your team would get creamed in the first round by a LeBron team.

Rumoured Raptors jersey which I think is alright.



and training season stuff fans love to eat up.

DD is adding a 3 this year.

Lowry and Miles are shooting 40% from three and Deebo is hitting contested threes.

Sorry Celtics. Raptors get the honor of losing the EC this season.

Yea, it's funny when these athletes take dumps on politicians but I don't think people realize that this kind of stuff solidifies bases and creates groundswells of support. All these people having their Twitter skirmishes/battles against mastermind Trump are playing his game and they're probably going to lose (if they want some 2020 D president). Some of Trump's polling numbers are going up in recent weeks. Uh oh.
Trump's approval numbers were bad to start with, went up fractionally when Harvey and Irma were the big news stories, and are now down fractionally after the NFL/NBA comments.

This is still just an unbelievable story to me. Like nobody just even spoke to Henson?
He went there with 3 friends and they assumed he was robbing the place before he got into the door. Even after the police told the store he was a Buck the store requested that a police officer supervise.

John Henson posted:

Went to @schwankekasten jewelry today in White-Fish Bay during regular business hours. They locked the door and told me to go away. After I rang the doorbell twice everyone went to the back. No answered the door or told me what was going on. This was followed by two police cars pulling up and parking across the street and watching me for 5 minutes ( I assumed they were called by the store ). I was then approached by 2 officers and questioned about the dealer vehicle I was in which is apart of my endorsement deal with Kunes country Chevrolet and asked me what I wanted amongst other things that were just irrelevant to me being there just trying to shop at the store like a normal paying customer would do. I told them I was just trying to look at a watch.

He then had to go in the back and tell them to come out it was safe but this is after they ran my plates and I overheard them talking about doing more of a background check on the car. The employees finally came out of the back and proceeded to conduct business like they previously were as we walked up.
