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
I'm looking forward to the climactic fight scene out in the street where Doc wins by throwing someone straight under a bus.

Suns are so cooked man. What a weird and unpleasant to watch season this ended up being. Vogel is for sure gone, wouldn’t be surprised if they try to move Durant too. Just unwatchable slop ball

The team is basically Durant/Booker and almost everyone else is new. Their 32% RC% is really showing. That's the lowest RC% of any team this year and also the lowest in Suns history.

No one selected the correct eight WC playoff teams. The Warriors were on 93% of the ballots and the Grizzlies were on 75% of the ballots. So that torpedoed almost everyone.

WRT the Lakers the elephant in the room is that LBJ is 39 years old. For all the haters out there it's important to remember that MJJ at age 39 hadn't played a minute of playoff basketball in five years and his favorite pastime had become screaming at Kwame Brown.


I just realized they're never going to do one of these for the Bulls while Reinsdorf owns the team.

Honestly it's fascinating that the narrative of the series is 'the #2 seed, the defending champions, who have won this matchup the past 9 times... are up 2-0, but also this is because the #7 seed isn't playing well enough, they need to tighten up' like that's not the normal run of things. Surely the fact that your #7 is competitive is a good thing, right?

It reminds me of when many were upset that the Bulls couldn't defeat LBJ. As if Kirk Hinrich could just decide to shut him down.

Jordan fans would've been ecstatic if he was close to defeating prime KG, prime Duncan and prime Shaq in the early 2000s.

The bulk of that money was Wiggins turning back into a pumpkin when he got paid, Klay remembering he broke his ACL and Achilles and Dray being Dray. That's 100MM of the 110MM cap that isn't really working
