And yet, the other East teams that played the Cavs last year–the Pacers and the Without Our Two Best Guys Celtics–looked so, so much more competitive.

With all these advanced metrics it’s amazing that every team doesn’t win the championship every year.

The cameras were just to make sure Embiid wasn’t living there rent-free.

My wife thought I was being a typical Lakers homer as I whined about Harden’s joy-killing brand of anti-basketball. After watching him draw five fouls in like one minute, she wrinkles her nose and says, “Ew, I fucking hate this guy.”

I think so.

Should he have been MVP?

Simmons’s 0 3 pointers made last year is one of the most unbelievable stats in basketball. He logged 2700 minutes!

The craziest part is that this is the absolute ideal situation for him to work on his jumper. The East is so weak they will easily make the playoffs, probably even have a top 4 seed, even if they lose a bunch of games while he works on his shot. The team is talented enough, and the season is long enough, to take a…
