Which, all snark aside, would be even worse than not making it.

I think Hornacek’s a good coach. He had some success in Phoenix before their front office screwed him over too. I want to see what he can do without a “legend” looking over his shoulder.

Exactly. Best case scenario. That’s why I hope they trade Melo and stay away from Rose

There’s no way that’s true. Holy shit.

It’d be a lot weirder if they won 50 games than if they won 35

Actually, I still think he should have been the MVP this year. I’ll be honest, it was Curry’s season last year (2015-16) that made me rethink it.

A really tough argument. I would say no, since in my mind, part of being MVP is that your team couldn’t have done what they did without you. That’s why I didn’t really caste either way in the Westbrook-Harden debate, because in both cases those guys were dragging incredibly shitty rosters to the playoffs. Hell, it’s…

And he might not even be the best player on his team.

That’s definitely possible. He wasn’t shy about telling the Pacers he wouldn’t resign, he may have done the same with Boston.

Best part about this is that the Knicks are going to resign Derrick Rose, keep Carmelo Anthony, have a zen-master-less Porzingis, and still only win 30 games. I hate this team.

I think it’s also worth pointing out that George is inherently more valuable to Boston than OKC, since I think it’s safe to say that he has a better chance of resigning with the former rather than the latter. This doesn’t impact Indiana, but Boston should be willing to give up more for him since there’s a greater…

What exactly was the lawsuit for? Wrongful termination? Defamation?

I’d go 1. Kings, 2. Bulls, 3. Knicks at the moment. Just like how the Nets moved out of the top spot when hey fired Billy King, removing Jackson helps the Knicks. Dolan is loyal to all the wrong people and really fucking weird, but he at least spends every cent (sometimes quite stupidly) he can. The guy basically just…

No man is so accursed as the kinslayer

I get you. A totally fair point of view.

Yeah I think we are. I don’t blame the Sixers. It’s on the commissioner and the other owners to stop it. From my perspective, I would just do a true lottery with all the non-playoff teams, everyone getting a 1/14 chance at each spot. It sucks it’s come to that, but I think that’s the best way to deal with this. I…

I don’t see what the big deal is. An unwanted finger below the belt is actually a salute to the President.

As we’re seeing, not many do lol

UMPIRE: Strike Three!!!!!

While reading this, I kept saying to myself “these are not real names!” in George Carlin’s voice, which led to me finding this classic (which doesn’t really relate, except that one line):
