This time last year, I was bitching about having to watch Jerebko and Olynyk. MY C'S have come a looooong way

This time last year, you were probably talking about how fun it was to watch the Celts go up 2-0 pretty easily over the Wiz with Isaiah balling out, only to get trounced the next 2 games

The Celtics played the Bulls (complete with Playoff Rondo) in the 1st round last year, and nearly lost the series.
 
Why doesn’t that dude catch his guitar when his girlfriend throws it out the window?

Thank you.

Also, why is destruction of personal property to be lauded? Imagine the optics of a white dude trashing his black girlfriends stuff. Really despise that commercial.

‘Hey because you apparently found someone more desirable than me I get to destroy your personal property! - Now switch to our television provider!’

It’s so dumb.

The optics of a man destroying a woman’s stuff is someone with power exercising that power to control someone’s life.

The optics of a woman destroying a man’s stuff is someone without power exercising some agency of their own life.

You can’t just change the situation and claim it’s the same without accounting for the broader social context.

But he should catch the guitar. And it’s a commercial for a streaming service using an old school symbol of female independence to entice women cord cutters. Not sure why it’s running during a sporting event considering one appeal of cord cutting is to get out from under the thumb of ESPN.

I love this team so much. Crazy to think that they're missing two all-stars. They're so much better than last year's squad even without Kyrie and Heyward. Brown and Rozier have each become legit Good, Horford is a goddamned star, and Tatum is dat dude.

Probably gonna get crushed by the Raptors, but so much fun to watch this team

Doesn't hurt having a great coach. Bucks have a trash coach, Bledsoe is the worst defender in the league, and Parker is useless. Bucks need a legit coach and they need to trade Bledoe and Parker if they want to keep Giannis for more than two more years.

I'm sure there's no need to bring this to your attention, I'm guessing you had it on a loop briefly this morning.

 
I saw Giannis’s euro step called the gyro step the other day which gave me a solid chuckle.
 
Messed up to ambush Lebron by telling him about Pop's wife's death on camera. He gave about as good an answer as you could expect.

TRIGGER WARNING

Meet the Defensive Genius Behind the Rockets' Championship Push

With several head coach positions opening up over the next few weeks, [Redacted]’s name deserves to emerge as a worthy candidate. That’s what happens to associate head coaches who’ve made notable contributions for a championship contenders. “Next time we work together it’d probably be me assisting him,” Joerger says. “I’d take a bullet for that guy.”

It’s easy to look across the league and imagine how he can help promising teams that are painfully inconsistent on the defensive end. The Milwaukee Bucks are a perfect example, with a young, long, and athletic core that was essentially constructed to execute the same switch-everything formula enjoyed in Houston. Picture Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and all the twitchy tentacles on that roster making the most of their nightly physical advantages.

“I think Jeff would be a success wherever he goes. I have to obviously be a little careful, being in the league office saying that, but I think he would be a success at whatever he did,” Vandeweghe says. “I would imagine the offers will come.”
