Boston had a good regular season, they should celebrate that. There’s no shame in losing to Heat Culture again and again and again… I can’t believe Miami keeps doing this. Spoelstra is a wizard or something.

I do enjoy watching Shai Gilgeous Alexander play basketball News: Dean Wade is apparently out for the entire first round https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/cavaliers-dean-wade-missing-first-round-series/ Declan MacManus posted:claire whatshername from twitter put it best when she said the suns fleeced the wizards and made both teams worse in the process It's the rare everyone loses trade. Pretty funny for us disinterested third parties We should think about the best everyone loses trades in NBA history for our next segment on the Bill Simmons podcast

the suns were totally right to move on from chris paul; unfortunately, they did not have a plan beyond "trade chris paul"

IMO the player leading the league in points as the 6th man, assists as the 6th man, clutch points as the 6th man, 2nd among all players in assists created off of drives (as the 6th man), most FGM as the 6th man, most 3PM as the 6th man, most 20-point games as the 6th man, and most 25-point games as the 6th man is the obvious 6th Man of the Year.

65 games total, less than half of which are started, is a tighter filter than I would have assumed. Plenty of teams have one or zero guys that qualify. Other teams have a whole second unit that does, though.

I think the 65 game thing needs to go, if the voters want to disqualify it for their own reasons, let them.

Only 5 times in league history has a player won MVP playing less than 65 games. Only once has this happened in a season with 82 games. 1956-57 Bob Cousy. In this era, there were only 8 teams and 72 games. Cousy played 64. 2019-20 Giannis Antetokounmpo. Pandemic season, teams played less games. Giannis played 63. 2011-12 LeBron James. Lockout season. Teams played 66 games. LeBron played 62. 1977-78 Bill Walton. A normal 82 game season with 22 teams. Walton won the Finals MVP the year before. He played 58 games before going down with injury. 1998-99 Karl Malone. Lockout season. Teams played 50 games. Malone played 49.

The narrative of players being 'forced' to play while injured and making it worse picked up for a bit mid season and then fell off. There's so much hearsay about the whole resting players, load management etc. the league needed to do something. Requiring 80% of games played to be eligible for end of season awards is good enough for now. Missing 10+ games before midseason break is kind of a problem in general for team performance and fan enjoyment.

I see the logic behind the games played even though I agree with the people who are against it in spirit. I think though that it makes a lot less sense for awards like 6 man that are supposed to be for reserves.

I said it before and I'll say it again that Ed O'Neill is pretty great casting here. But I think the story is interesting enough without needing to make Doc the hero xbilkis posted:I feel like the basketball aspect of this is going to be bad but the V Stiviano content will be good Key sign the basketball content will be laughably ridiculous: showing a scene where Sterling is in the locker room and is the same height as everyone
