this denver minnesota series is probably the last good series we’re going to have before the finals. i don’t think any series left in the east will be any good, and whoever wins this series is probably going to sleepwalk to the finals, i don’t see okc really offering much resistance.
Game 7 in the 2016 Finals is one of the greatest NBA games of all time
Spurs Pistons was heavily underrated as an NBA Finals.
All teams in the AL Central? Really?
the white sox are more of a friend group.
The South Siders have had some decent innings...

one of the Astros’ three hits against Gilbert.
If you've seen the offensive fireworks so far, yes.
Yeah, the crowd is kind of shockingly silent
To be fair the players are making it hard to cheer for them. Two starters already in foul trouble and yet another game where they can't generate looks from the or make shots.
Howre you feeling after that one? Pretty good win, right?

Shohei twice (464 ft!)
They finally score runs and everything clicks and the Alek Manoah Reclamation Project pisses it all away instantly. And we don't have another fifth starter so we're just screwed, I guess!
We lost 2/3 to the Washington Nationals! We scored 3 runs against Patrick Corbin!
Make it go away.
As you might expect, his son is a big Mavs fan as well, and a fan of Luka in particular. He mentioned that his son has been imitating Luka from time to time, to the point where he can sometimes convince him to "do the Luka" because what he's seeing on the court is engrained in his impressionable 3 year old mind.
Before I could make the joke, my friend confirmed that yes, "doing the Luka" consists of miming hitting a shot, then falling over on his ass in comic fashion every time. This is of course now my favorite thing.
So when Luka starts flopping like a fish in our series on Tuesday, remember to think of the impressionable young children he is ruining with his antics.
I also get some of that stuff from Thinking Basketball. I've definitely been incorporating more stampeding into my game, pickup defenders are rarely prepared to defend a catch on the move like that, and I've also been trying to do some of the DHO stuff with my point guard, but he kind of sucks at it. Hahaha
Like, I see it, he's fun, he's crazy athletic, he's got charisma for days. But, it just doesn't feel like he is at that level. He scores 25 ppg, ok, that's good, but not like best player in the league good. His efficiency is average, he does an ok amount of playmaking and rebounding. It feels like his highlights are elite, and he has been balling out early on in the playoffs here, but all of this feels premature. Like, I'd like to see him be at least top 10 in, you know, ANY category before we anoint him.
It feels like its just old media guys who fucking love the MJ/Kobe/Vince/TMac/DWade athletic scoring guard archetype, and want to make him the best player when he's really more like a back third all-star at this moment.
Of course, the playoffs are making this take look silly, and if its a harbinger for things to come, we'll see. But I want to see more than 5 games of All-NBA level play before I elevate this guy over someone like Jokic, Giannis, much less the Embiids, Lukas, Shaes, Tatums of the world.

But yeah, I think Ant has the athletic highlight reel that makes him very media-friendly. He's not a Top 10 player and probably isn't even the best player on his team, but he has filled a leadership and playmaking vacuum that was on what was previously a very flawed Timberwolves team.
Gobert scaring players from driving into the paint isn't memeable but Ant dunking on someone is.
Nobody has beat that core yet
And also not be named Chet
Ant is absolutely the best player on his team and its not even close.
