That awkward moment when the team around Lebron is so trash, you could argue that they were wrong in trading away the 2018 versions of Dwyane fucking Wade and Derrick fucking Rose.

Spot on. If I’m Steven Adams, every move I’m making around Gobert in Game 6 and a possible Game 7 is starting with a double pump fake. Get that man in foul trouble, and you unlock Russ.

All three have been fantastic, but Jrue has definitely been the best. Here are some relevant stats from the first round:

This series is super intriguing just due to how poorly each team matches up against the other team’s stars. The Pelicans played amazing defense in the first round, but who the hell is gonna guard Durant? Do you let Mirotic get blown by every single possession, or do you make 6'4" Holiday or E’Twaun Moore try to…

LET’S GOOOOO. Meek is definitely gonna be front row tonight at the 76ers game, this shit is gonna be wild!

I honestly don’t blame the Rockets for how boring it was, I blame the Timberwolves for defending so atrociously that it was all wide open shots. Houston does alot of pick and roll, but alot of that quarter was just beautiful passing and finding the open man, and it was fun to watch the ball movement. But when the open…

Hey man, when you are Team White People, you gotta been seen where the white people are at.

Yeah, I mean Romney is a scumbag who bought companies up solely to lay everyone off and made millions off of the practice, but fuck that guy who doesn’t play basketball how I like it to be played!

“Mr. Emmert, how much should we pay these kids?”

Last time you went skinny dipping, am I right?

They actually had his table ready, the staff were just in the back arguing over who had to announce his name over the intercom.

That’s understandable, and I would sympathize with that. However, when he calls himself one of the best centers in the NBA, goes out and puts up 5 and 2 against another true center and then blames other people afterwards, my sympathy goes away.

Whiteside used to be such a feel good story in the NBA, it’s a shame he became such an insufferable prick about everything.

GM Doc Rivers just saw this comment and orgasmed

Leave it to Thibs to spend a quarter of a crucial playoff game trotting out a lineup with a net rating of -1.8 in 46 games this season, followed by another lineup that’s played a total of three minutes together.

I think the real question here is why Thibodeau thinks it’s acceptable to roll out Rose and Crawford together at the 2 and 3 for eight minutes at a time against the fucking Rockets.

I think he will want to go out on his own terms, so my bet would be no. Or at least, if he does decide to go out, I hope it’s because of good reasons and not just out of grief.

As someone who can’t handle the fact that I can’t get everything I want all of the time, HOW DARE YOU.

His contract was signed in 2014 which was when he was still a borderline star, which is why it looks bad right now. It’s fair to criticize it now, but Melo has been the only guy I’ve ever known that’s been shit on his entire career for making max money.
