Am I seriously the only guy who didn’t want the team to pay $156M to a mega-tall guy with a bum knee who put up a negative BPM in his final healthy season?

Try to guess the last time a 6-8 seed made even the conference semis. The 2007 Warriors are an easy one, but can you think of another off the top of your head? Probably not.

You can get mediocre beans for about $5/lb. and that’s usually good enough for cold brew.

R.J. Barrett has *Harrison Barnes 2.0* bust written all over him, but Reddish is the truly perplexing one. He’s been pure, unadulterated awful and is still slotted at #4 in mock drafts. How the fuck!

I love how the first inclination for fanboyz is to blame “player development,” like there’s some magic code that turns flawed shooters into competent ones.

In response, the Chicago Bulls held a players-only meeting and discussed skipping tomorrow’s practice.

God damn, fanboys will do any amount of mental gymnastics to avoid the fact — which has been the case for about 18 of the last 20 Knicks seasons — that the Knicks have almost no NBA-level talent on the roster. Outside of Mitchell Robinson, they are completely bereft of productive NBA players. When Tim Hardaway Jr. is…

Oh, I’m sorry. Developmentally disabled. Which is what you must be if you think Porzingis is worth 13 fucking wins.

Knicks fan here: this is a hot, hot, hot take, and totally wrong.

That’s not a “I’m not racist, but” -- that’s a “I just call it like I see it, and blacks aren’t human,” sort.

Yeah, we’re on the same page. Kawhi is one of the rare basketball players who hadn’t stopped developing major, fundamental skills upon coming into the league. It’s so, so, so rare to see a guy go from 3-and-D (which is absolutely what he was at SDSU) to MVP-level primary ISO monster scorer. Steph Curry is one of those…

He had a 23% usage rate in 2014-15 and a 25.8% rate in 2015-16. There’s no way you’re going to convince me that the extra 2.5 FGA per 36 in 2016-17 were the result of some kind of epic transformation into a scoring wing. He’s been a scorer for a very long time, and I’m not about to discredit a guy for being contained…

In 2012, the braintrust over at Knickerblogger were arguing about whether Harden would ever be more than a 6th man.

The 81-point game is one of the greatest performances in league history. He scored 81 on an absurd .739 TS% (46 FGA and 20 FTA) and turned the ball over just 3 times. Collected 3 steals on the other end and had a solid all-around game otherwise.

I know that Prime Melo (still one of the most overrated players ever) had an athletic, slashy, powerful inside game, but Kawhi looks as much like Jordan as Kobe ever did, and that’s saying a lot.

So you’re actually retarded, eh?

And your points are pure conjecture with no basis in reality. But “floor spacing, gravity effect, synergy,” et cetera...
