    the key to beating the Knicks is waiting for their starters' knees to explode from overuse, as is the way with all Thibs teams

    every time i see julius randle's name i think of dubious handles and laugh to myself

    whoever made that nickname is a genius

    Except they have a really deep bench now and it was the difference maker against the Cavs.

    I don’t know why but I find it really annoying when players guarantee a game 7.

    Really guarantee anything

    It's a Twitter vid so I can't embed but this clip of Jeff Teague talking about that Jimmy Butler G-League practice is hilarious

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    I love that because that story has always been framed like, "he's an intense competitor and the Wolves couldn't handle his intensity! He's kind of a bully!!!" and then Jeff Teague's like "that man's a fuckin' weirdo what the hell was all that about"

    For the first year with Spida, Cleveland exceeded expectations IMHO.

    But JB needs to go. Nick Nurse is ready for this team.

  • DirtyboyDirtyboy Registered User regular
    All of you wishing for Nurse to save you are going to get some recycled coach who's been fired multiple times.

    nurse is kinda overrated and has a bit of thibs in him in that also plays his guys too much. only time he made noise in the playoffs was when kawhi decided to just be entirely unstoppable and didn’t get hurt for enough series in a row to win.

    idk he’s fine but he’s not some great coach.

    He made the Box-and-1 trendy. Im not sure id seen that before he busted it out, and now we see it semi-occasionally in the NBA.

    Warriors 6/21 from three and somehow only down by 5.

    In the grand tradition of Mike Bibby's nose being assessed a foul in game 6 of the WCF.

    The Lakers clearly got tired of the Grizzlies and all the shit they talked.

    Oh boy, I can't wait to see what Brooks has to say after this game!!!

    “I don’t respect you until you give me 40”

    Lakers beat the Grizzlies by 40.

    Don't dish it out if you can't take it. Imagine Brooks going up against shit talk legends like Barkley or Larry Bird, they'd eat him as an appetizer.

    AD was an undeniable demon in that game but other than staying healthy, D’Lo’s shooting is what unlocks LA as a title contender

    I think SAC takes it because I don’t trust the vibes with the Dubs for a game 7 road game….but I don’t feel great about them vs a healthy/geling Lakers

    I saw that said, but I also saw someone post a pic of him from last year's opener? I don't know what to believe.

    Also, Brooks is softer than baby shit. At least Ja finally spoke to the media.

    Brooks learning the hard way that playing the WWE heel role is way less fun when you're losing.

    Brooks is just an old school chickenshit style heel who never breaks kayfabe.

    I love the NBA playoff schedule where they kind of don't give a fuck and they start second round series while some people haven't finished the first round. I dislike how few games there are this weekend though.

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    Dillon Brooks and Pat Bev doing the "too small" gesture at LeBron and holding it until LeBron saw it have completely turned me around on Pat Bev. Brooks complaining that his suspension was because of how the media talks about him was really the last straw for me

  • DirtyboyDirtyboy Registered User regular
    Brooks is a free agent this offseason so maybe he can go play with Pat.

    Brooks can fuck off right back to Canada.

    Heard the Raptors need some peeps.
