Actually a pretty big Louisville fan. And one of the worst humans on the planet.

Followed closely by, “In Russia, [blank] [blank]s you” jokes.

To be fair to Williams, his lack of athleticism is less about playing out of shape for a couple years and more about repeated debilitating ankle injuries. Not that he was Russel Westbrook to begin with, but he didn’t come into the league moving like Andre Miller.

I actually think Chief Keef is a pretty solid double entendre, playing off the colloquial vocalization of his given name (Keith) preceded by a high status signifier (Chief), as well as weed slang for smoking (chief) straight THC crystals (keef). Way better than some dumb, generic shit like Young Thug.

I’ve had about Walleye can handle of these fish puns.

Alternately, you can burn them just the tiniest little bit on the stove. (I’m serious about this.) Not as good as the grill, obviously, but it does lend a nice smokiness.

Oh, I see. Your bad opinion is based not so much on underestimating LeBron but vastly overrating Kyrie. Glad we got that straightened out.

He has the second best selling shoes out of Nike’s stable of NBA stars, behind only LeBron. He didn’t win shit before LeBron showed up and still can’t seem to win when LeBron is out. I’m pretty sure he’s OK with having “save Bron’s ass,” i.e. have a good game, every once in a while. (Also, you realize LeBron has…

LeBron is pretty much a master at not picking up fouls. I believe this was the first time he’s ever had four in the first half. He has fouled out like two or three times in his entire playoff career.

Eh, Shaq is the main reason for three of those titles. Wade was most certainly the main reason for the fourth.

That is an imminently reasonable assessment. But I don’t see how it’s at all relevant to your overall critique (or, if nor critique, at least distinction that you seem to find important) of modern so-called “superteams” that are formed through free agency. That was what your original comment was getting at, right?…

Yeah, your Bulls are part of the reason I had to include the “for the most part” qualifier in my last comment. Here’s to hoping for a swift turnaround. At least you’ll always have the six banners?

Sure. But I just don’t understand what it is that is so different and, apparently, much easier to appreciate about a superteam that is built through the draft and free-agency addition of subservient Hall of Famers to an existing dominant Hall of Famer’s team (e.g. the Jordan Bulls adding Scottie through the draft and…

I think they had maybe the fifth or sixth best record in the league that year, and the Pistons had at least 10 more wins. I remember being pretty shocked when they won.

But what is your actual point? I’ve never understood why it matters HOW a so-called superteam is put together. Jordan should get credit because his GM built a super team for him, instead of him doing it himself? Lebron is not as good because he took matters into his own hands after having management that couldn’t tie…

I’d add the ‘06 Heat as surprise champs, but otherwise you’re spot on.

No fish can be badass, you say?

The Celts Big 3 team was in the last decade and they beat Lebron in his first stint on the Cavs, so I’d say it was them.

That’s all true, but he was 1-6 from 3 last night and still completely dominated in an efficient way. If he starts hitting the three like he was in the last series, it’s only going to get worse.
