Alright, I know that the Simpsons has a picture for everything, but this is a Space Jam reach here.

This joke doesn’t stink, but it definitely has an Odor.

Nothing happened to Dame. Jrue Holiday happened to Dame, who has played lockdown defense and challenged Lillard to make the correct play every possession. And as much as I enjoy watching Lillard play, Holiday has exposed him as a guy who cannot do that, he is quick to take bad shots and tries to play hero ball.

Man, I really don’t wanna get my hopes up about this team knocking off Golden State, but they sure are giving me alot of reasons to be hopeful.

The Blazers are now officially the Western Raptors. Dame and CJ are great players, but once it hits playoff time they figure out that running straight iso for half of the game won’t cut it. Late in the fourth quarter where they were within 5, they had three straight possessions where Dame or CJ dribbled it up and shot…

The Pelicans are now my team to root for this postseason thanks to Jrue. It’s great to see a high character guy whose career was set back by injuries and family health issues finally put it all together and elevate his team in the playoffs, it’s been a damn joy to watch.

I don’t know, if we are assuming that Kawhi is healthy, I think it’s a good deal for LA, and pushing a salary dump along with acquiring a superstar might be too much to ask. If they really want a star they will have to let Randle walk anyways, so it’s essentially Ingram, Hart and a first-rounder for Kawhi. I know that…

Randle is hitting restricted free agency this summer and Ingram the year afterwards, if they keep those guys now they cannot sign another max contract player in the next few years.

Well, their reported plan for this offseason is to get two stars, and if they want that to happen they’ll have to let Randle sign somewhere else, so basically it becomes Ingram, Hart and a first rounder. So yes, I think they’ll be just fine with that trade.

I put this scenario on the table in the previous article: once the Lakers fail to get one or both of their stars, trade Kawhi and Forbes to LA for Ingram, Randle, Hart and a first rounder. Not extending Kawhi will give them money to give Anderson a raise, go after a star once Parker takes a paycut/retires, or worst…

I love this idea. In my mind, they could wait until the Lakers inevitably fail in free agency, and then swap him and Forbes for Ingram, Randle, Hart and a first rounder. Save that money to pay Anderson, resign Ingram and Randle in a few years, and maybe even go after another star in free agency with Parker and Green’s…

I’m not sold yet honestly. I know I deserve to be shamed for this opinion, but it’s not like Philly has gotten shit from their center spot so far? Ilyasova played out of his mind last night, and he’s more of a matchup issue for Whiteside than Embiid. Embiid will still probably come back and embarrass the hell out of…

This has been the yearly reminder that Hugh Freeze fucks.

Yeah but in today’s NBA, if we accept that you get three steps before a travel, this has to be considered a legal move. I don’t think direction matters, so if he takes two steps backwards to get a shot off, I don’t think it’s any more illegal than taking two steps into the lane for a runner. The pivot foot is…

Real question: why is two steps forward completely fine, but two steps backwards somehow illegal?

Shading is not really an excuse to not get Towns the ball though. Chuck nailed it in the post-game, Houston was switching everything and when Towns was getting Harden or Paul in the post, he would clear the lane and stand on the three-point line the rest of the possession. And it’s not like Houston was selling out to…

OR, hear me out, he wants his team to do well.

and people could say racist things without consequence

You seem to be implying that Dez can run 50 yards without dropping the ball.

Don’t get your panties in a tourniquet Boris, it’s just jokes.
