Haha, again, I like Detroit. I just don’t think they’re a realistic choice to take the conference. Hope I’m wrong, though.

Can’t really blame him.

Oh, I’m definitely a bandwagon Warrior fan. Well, pseudo-bandwagon.

Oh, I’ve definitely got larger problems than Bill Simmons. That’s very true. But don’t we all?

Ugh, don’t bother.

Oh, I’m definitely rooting for the Pistons. I just don’t think they’ve got a great shot at upsetting the Cavs. But stranger things have happened.

Hmmm...obviously not me when they’re attached to an incredibly obnoxious fan/owner and not attached to my team of choice, which is in the Western Conference?

Ugh.

I’ll often watch Harrison Barnes and get frustrated at how tentative or inconsistent he can be.

“...while in theory he could still be selected league MVP, it’s not going to happen.”

You wouldn’t describe the Los Angeles Lakers as a successful NBA franchise? I guess everyone’s entitled to his or her opinion.

I covered the San Francisco Giants from the AT&T Park press box in 2010-14—word was Pablo’s weight issues stemmed from alcohol.
