- Comment on THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION 1 week ago:
Spurs still have probably the best young core in the league. They could have easily entered this game up 3-1 if not for some silly mistakes at the end of a couple of games.
I’m sure spurs fans are heartbroken, but there is so much to be excited about with that team.
- Comment on THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE YOUR 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS 1 week ago:
Incredible poise by the Knicks in this series. Down double digits in the first quarter of every game and somehow still found ways to win.
- Comment on 2026 NBA Finals: Knicks vs Spurs – Game 5 1 week ago:
Absolutely reckless closeout by Wemby.

He’s gotta be the front runner at this point. Big plays on both ends of the floor.

Absolute choke job by the Spurs after an such a dominant 1st half
- Comment on 2026 NBA Finals: Spurs vs Knicks – Game 3 1 week ago:
Good grief, this could end up being the best finals series ever. Every game has been so competitive.

In the bonus for like 9 minutes in the 4th

Spurs defense intense for sure to start.

Very good game 1. Loved the runs by both teams at the end.

And again after Kornet landed on his ankle!
- Comment on NBA Approves New 3-2-1 Draft Odds 3 weeks ago:
I agree. If this is successful in preventing tanking, someone still has to finish at the bottom. I guess it’s a slight relief that they can’t drop below 12, but it still feels a bit like kicking a man when he’s down.
- Comment on NBA Approves New 3-2-1 Draft Odds 3 weeks ago:
Just want to point out some corrections, at least in my understanding:
- 16 teams total in the lottery now
- Winner of 7/8 game gets no lottery balls and is not a part of the lottery
- Loser of 7/8 game gets one ball
- 9/10 seeds both get two balls
- Bottom 3 teams overall get only two balls, but they cannot fall below 12 in the draft
- Remaining 7 non-play-in teams get three balls and can pick anywhere from 1-16
Additional restrictions:
- Cannot win #1 overall pick in consecutive drafts
- Cannot win a top 5 pick in three consecutive drafts
- Cannot attach top-12 through top-15 protections to newly traded draft picks
- League has expanded authority to reduce a team’s odds modify draft positions and/or impose fines in response to tanking
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: West Conf. Finals - May 28, 2026 3 weeks ago:
The thing people don’t seem to understand about the way the NBA has refused to penalize that entire team of floppers, is that when the officiating crew decides to reward that unbecoming behavior, it changes the way the game is played. Now you have a team that can freely attack the hoop and the other team feels obligated to give them space to do so out of fear that they’ll foul out if they don’t. It’s a completely different ballgame at that point, and the product is completely unwatchable. I will never understand why the NBA doesn’t just enforce the actual rules that they still have on the books about this. It was a problem fifteen years ago when they first started fining players, and there is no question about the fact that it’s a much larger problem now that all could have been avoided with even moderate enforcement of the actual rules.

Weren’t there some recent transparency concerns with piefed too? I don’t remember the details.

Cavs looking like they want a shot at it!
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East Conf. Semifinals / West Conf. Semifinals - May 10, 2026 1 month ago:
I’d be shocked if there’s a suspension. Most I feel is likely is a fine of like $35k, and probably less to be honest.
- Comment on NBA Playoffs: East 1st Round / West 1st Round - April 23, 2026 1 month ago:
Both teams shot like garbage from 3, but the nuggets also could barely hit a 2. Overall good showing from Minnesota in a game where Edwards was clearly not 100% and in foul trouble all night.
- Comment on Durant Out Game 1 With Knee Contusion 2 months ago:
If the keep holding the Rockets under 40% shooting, they’ll have a great chance! Especially while shooting 60% themselves.

Yes, that was hard to watch. 🙈

Tough season for the Clippers.
- Comment on Luka and Cade Will be Eligible for Awards 2 months ago:
…but not Edwards. I don’t get it. I get that he played 3 games less than Cunningham, but is 63 really the line in the sand that the league cannot cross? He doesn’t sit to rest, which is what I thought the spirit of the rule was about.
