I love the ‘East is easy’ idea. Meanwhile, the Warriors have played one very good/not severely depleted team in three years through the West.

“Yep. Even as a Spurs fan, I’d prefer them to win on a night when the other team’s best player doesn’t look ... off. Sure, Leonard and Co. did a good job defending him,...”

+1 Makavelli, aka the Don Killuminati

Lol, yeah. You hated Kobe, but a game where he endlessly chucked to give everyone a fake warm moment turned that hate on its face? lol

Counterpoint: these guys ARE actual douchebags. While I’d have assumed this segment would have been more than argument enough (seriously, get over yourselves), just seeing Pierce wearing shades through it should be as crystal clear of evidence as you’d need for Grade A douche.

This post is brought to you by the great basketball mind that wrote these two posts;

As he should. Irving is a straight up stud who actually plays better in the clutch. Plus, Thomas is in his prime, while Irving—as great as he is right now—is three years from his.

Actually watch the game; Bradley is on Wall. Your overall point—Thomas is maybe the worst defensive PG in the league—is true though. Bradley is only on Wall because Thomas would get dominated. That Beal isn’t exposing the matchup is the reason this series is 2-0.

Yeah, Klay goes over Thomas, no question. Though at deadspin it is a question because the NBA coverage is a hot take garbage fest.

LOL at taking Isiah over Kyrie. Don’t be fooled that just because Beal isn’t making Thomas work at all on defense that he’s better. Unless of course your draft strategy is to take an older, shorter, worse version of a guy.

Beal should be abusing Thomas being on him and he’s not. That’s the series in a nutshell... I thought the Wizards would win (they still can) because I thought Beal would actually show up.

Yeah the west is so tough! That’s why the Warriors skate to the WCF’s every year.

Thanks for logging in and commenting Skip. No go back to arguing with Shannon Sharpe.

Get used to half full Fenway then

Also, Boston flat out sucks.

Yes, LFC’s style is really effective against good/great attacking teams and not so good against teams looking to counter on them. So teams they have more talent than are always an adventure. Need strength/power option next year, so that they can play/attack a few different ways.

Well, pretty much all Billy’s articles are the typed metaphor of him eating feces... so why do you need another.

FFS, position truthers?!

He’s... not?

I thought this joke went:
