I can absolutely feel empathy for rich hill the dad and husband and father and feel for him and say that I hate rich hill the ballplayer. These things can be exclusive.

I hate Rich Hill and I hate listening to him grunt like he just deadlifted 750 pounds when he throws a 64 mph curveball, so this is hilarious to me.  Fuck him.

No, I agree, they can’t waste minutes on players who can’t/aren’t performing, but Leonard was clearly gassed in the 4th. The Bucks outboarded the Raps 18-6 in the 4th, and if I had to guess, I’d say that’s partly or maybe mostly due to fatigue. The turnaround in games in the Conference finals is one day off instead of…

Replying to myself just to add this onto the thread...

You can say the same for the Bucks. At one point they were down 4, and were 6 of 34 from 3. They could have been absolutely crushing the Raps in this game. Bottom line, the Bucks have a good and deep bench, and the Raps really do not. If the Raps keep playing their starters 40+ minutes, they’re going to gas (just like…

Lopez went off for 29/11 and seemingly 435 blocked shots so...... fuck the Raptors.

“and people are going to prison just because they gave unpaid players and their families a little extra cash—”

You know.....

No you.

He looks like hipster frodo baggins.

Not that attractive......To you. I know, I know, everyone only bangs 10's on the internet.....

If they classified loot boxes as gambling, couldn’t (Blizzard, for example) loophole this by just letting you buy the cosmetics you wanted, instead of letting you buy *chances* to get cosmetics you wanted?

Christ. I was hot under the fuckin’ collar after just seeing that headline. They lost one game. ONE GAME, and Thompson was ready to bury the bucks, right along with Pierce.  “CHANGE EVERYTHING OR LOSE!”  Or..... maybe just keep doing what lead to you to 60 wins and the NBA’s best record?  Maybe hmmm?

I predicted a hard fought 6 or 7 game series, and after game 3, I thought nah...... this isn’t going past game 5. Kyrie was determined to win (or lose) these games himself, devils be damned. I know it’s gonna sting short term, but the C’s have to know they’ll be better off as a whole without him.

The C’s without Kyrie are (and were) a better team. Every time he’d dribble up the court in this series and take one of his patented, flailing, off balance shots I was like ‘yes, just keep taking (and clanking) those’. And he did, because that’s what he does.

Thank you!

What what is interesting to me, is that for the last week or so, the entire narrative has been about how the Celtics are underperforming and not playing as a unit and not getting the job done etc etc. Can someone just come out and say that the Bucks are clearly a better fucking team??

Yeah, I’d love to see the Bucks smash the notion that you can only win with a super team.  I wanna see Giannis and KD go head to head and give each other their best.  

I agree with that. I may even agree that the Sixers have the best starting 5 in the east. However, I think Burneko saying (repeatedly) that they’re the favorites (and at times, saying they’re the CLEAR favorites) is just, honstly, false. The Bucks bench is good and deep. George Hill is just a really fucking good…

Clearly your sarcasm detector is fuckin broken.  Go back to the sprocket factory, which sounds like a load of fun.
