As long as we ignore the first 3 times Jordan made it to the playoffs and lost in the first round, which we all seem to do. He didn’t make it to the Finals until his 7th try, when he had a great team around him. The fact that his team won 55 games without him and won the first round both times shows how good his team

Meh, LeBron just beat a team significantly better than one Jordan ever beat, while dominating every aspect of the game and leading in most stats. Maybe that should factor into the comparison.

I actually said the same thing weeks ago before the playoffs began. I think a lot of people put a lot of emphasis on what happens in the regular season (i.e. the Bulls sweeping the Cavs) forgetting that when the playoffs come around, teams like the Cavs can almost flip a switch and ratchet up their intensity like

A healthy Bucks team (both Parker and Middleton) is the only threat to Cleveland. It begins and ends with LeBron and Milwaukee is the only team with multiple people to throw at him.

I think we want to pretend pretty decent teams are really good teams, and really good teams are vulnerable to inherently flawed teams, in order to imagine a world where 2- 2 1/2 rounds of playoff NBA basketball matter. Golden State has no real competition. Spurs and Rockets are both two very good teams that are not

Raptors stars are both a tier below what you’d need to make real noise in the playoffs. Great effort team, somewhat talented, never going to do anything groundbreaking. This was over as soon as they moved past Milwaukee, and I was a tad surprised they managed to nut up for that series

Do professional fishing tournaments pull these kind of crowds?

Here’s my question, if this really is the dawn of the sports bubble bursting (I’m not 100% sure that’s the case, but this isn’t a positive sign), are Jeter and Jeb! making a huge mistake in bidding $1.3B for the Marlins, given that they’re already locked into a horrible TV contract, and will renegotiate in 2020 when

I would like to have him and Bomani as an on-air pairing. Kanell is the worst. Ryen was good with SVP. Bo and he have similar sports knowledge background, and they would complement and challenge each other...I think.

Going from SVP to Kanell is objectively worse than going from Obama to Trump.

Kanell is kind of the worst, and it’s like Kanell knows that and is proud of it which only makes it even worse.

It was really, really disappointing that, when SVP left, that radio show turned back into your run-of-the-mill sports talk show with him and Kanell. SVP & Russillo was so good that I had hopes Russillo would be able to keep it going, but nope.

Well, enjoy not talking to people for a few years. Milwaukee has several of the best young stars in the sport with a future MVP candidate among them.

So THIS is the undercover midwestern racism everyone talks about.

Something tells me you won’t need to worry about anyone talking to you...

It’s the Browns. This is like Schrödinger’s Draft Pick. Whoever they choose has a 50% chance of being a dead cat.

Not so good to prevent exactly that from happening.

I’m not sure if there’s anyone (save Trump) whose inevitable downfall I’m going to enjoy more.

The look on Lonzo’s face in the first picture is not unlike that of children whose parents are members of the Westboro Baptist Church at a protest. They’re here, and they didn’t really ask for this.
