That was coming from an old man thats losing.

Let the old man on the #7 seed team lose to the defending champions and the previous MVP/current MVP frontrunner in peace. What's the worst that could happen, they somehow trade into a worse team next season and Lebron and AD physically turn to dust getting their team to the playoffs only to end up against the Nuggets again?!

(Please let this happen, I want to witness the unhinged posting from Lakers fans/haters when they go like 0-16 in a row against the Nuggets.)

Sincerepost I think that teams building chemistry/longevity in a core is so underrated by incredibly impatient fanbases and front offices. Denver wouldn't be where they are if they didn't keep the same core, with the same coach, for years and years despite fans constantly yelling to fire Malone and the FO having the opportunity to eg trade Jamal Murray for Kyrie.

It bears out in the numbers. It's pretty rare a completely new team wins the championship, it's even rare for one to make a deep playoff run. You can bring in like 1 new starter but past that it creates a real headwind.

Goons being weird about the invocations before Thunder games is hilarious. They're the most milquetoast of prayers, "let everybody get home safe tonight and have a good time," last about 10 seconds. Don't want to join along by bowing your head and clasping your hands? That's fine, literally no one gives a poo poo. Some folks pretending they're giving a CHRISTIAN fire-and-brimstone sermon from the court. There's plenty of things to hate the Thunder for, you don't need to look like some fedora-wearing FSM dumbass.

Standing at attention and putting your hand over your heart for the Star-Spangled Banner is much, much weirder than the invocation, but no one talks about that because we're all acculturated to it.

It seems like every owner/franchise is in either "win now" mode and a single bad year is cause to fire a coach and make expensive trades for some kind of Big 2/3, or they are in perma-tank mode.

In a way this is both why roster consistency is one of the best playoff predictors of success but also possibly not actually meaningful because usually you need a roster that's already good to obtain that level of consistency.

I think last year's/this year's TWolves is a good case study of a team that looked pretty bad improving almost entirely due to gaining more chemistry together.

KAT also missed a large chunk of last year and was pretty important this year to getting the team to their early start. But yeah, they were still better even when he missed time this year.

Hey. If it's a generic prayer why has a Muslim never been invited to perform it

Edit: apparently it's been done by FN leaders. It could be no one asked. I hate singing the anthem before random games. Sing it at the finals not an April game lol
