*Isaiah*

I love Isiah Thomas, but no. Jimmy Butler is the best player on that floor. Isiah Thomas is a more fun player and probably a better teammate but Jimmy Butler is better per almost any reasonable measurement.

Hoiberg has now tied Stevens’ playoff wins.

First of all Isiah Thomas has long retired from the NBA. If you mean, Isaiah Thomas, he will never be the best player on the floor during a playoff series. He might be the best scorer but not the best player.

My thoughts exactly. Butler is the best player on the floor and I think the Bulls feel like they can win this series. I also get the sense that the entire bulls team really doesn’t give a shit about the regular season game.

Strategic tanking! Jordan would never do that...

He actually did a little more than just play in high school:

I’m sure I’m not the only one... used to hate the guy. But couldn’t be happier for the guy today. Good for you Sergio.

I’ve never understood the hard-core Beckham fandom. Dude had a decent chance and never took off as a player.

Seriously good golfer. I seem to remember him and his dad always played in an amateur father-son tourny in southern Wisco during the off season and they would clean up. It amazes me how some QBs can essentially just pick up clubs 6 times a year and shoot in the mid-70s. Rodgers is the same way

For as bad as publicity stunts can be, I actually like this one.
