I watched this last night. Because Giannis is sent from outer space to do things that no one else can do and can guard almost anyone, and because Lopez can shoot threes and at least hold his own on defense, they get to have the modern version of a Twin Towers. Its pretty tough for opponents to get to the rim, which is…

Running his Op Ed does not mean they endorse it. Come on.

I am as well. Pleasantly surprised, to be frank.

I honestly would not assume it was the Nazi salute on seeing that still shot. I know its unpopular on the internet, but people really ought to try giving a little grace to others now and then and not automatically assume they are doing the worst possible thing.

What the hell is Hedoing.

Now I am excited to see someone defend them in the grays.

One of the most quizzical comments I have seen repeatedly this year, even from smart basketball knowers, is that Ingram has been operating as a secondary playmaker and showing growth as the player stirring the drink when LeBron is out. I just don’t see it at all.

Historically it has been an accurate complaint, including last year when three Timberwolves were in the top 15 in minutes per game. This year, none are in the top 20. It’s a real change, but he made it too late. Plus, his whole plan for success appears to have been based around signing the 2011 Bulls, which actually…

If my maths are right, he's 84/85 since being cut. 

I just don’t believe catching an arm is the same thing as catching a football. *Shakes fist at children having fun in the street*

Ihave not decided whether or not I’m going to become an old man shaking his fist at the sky, but between this and the Ringer article pointing out that Harden has averaged something like 17 3-point attempts per game in his recent streak, I am starting to become concerned that basketball may get a little monotone.…

Whiteness probably is part of it, I suppose. But “not Kobe” would seem the bigger thing.

So, you agree they were the worst 11-5 team of all time?

To the point, is he really safe playing the Wizards in Washington?

I’ll rephrane from running down all the stats and just say Jimmy had the edge in advanced numbers. For traditional stats, it's surprisingly close. I know he was finishing games big-time that year, and that some MVP talk was in the air (with everyone knowing he would not win it, or get close, and he didn't, and he…

I’m not so sure I can agree, just because of the "significant margin" bit. Defense is a thing, after all.

Because even in basketball, wins are still a product of a team. And AD rates better than Jokic in virtually every way. He has 10 more PPG, 3.5 more RPG, 1.9 more blocks per game, slightly more steals per game, and less turnovers (despite higher usage). The only raw stat where Jokic leads is assists, by three. Davis…

I don’t remember this.  I guess I will look it up.  But even if you assume what Rose got up to was all consensual, it was at the least pretty damn ... gross?

Frankly, there just are not enough of us to stuff the ballot.

He gets (ironic) MVP chants at every Wolves game too.  As for the Wolves being terrible, well that’s just hurtful.
