You can romanticize playing in the Garden in New York, but what Knicks adjacent fans and media are doing to this week is nasty and I wonder why anyone would want to play there. Sure. A couple nights a year all the stars are out. The rest of the year New York fucking sucks.

The Jazz aren't "tanking", congrats on your Dame Lillard acquisition, gentleman

SGA is 3 years and 20 days older than Scottie Barnes, asked no one

Everyone is using Kuz+PC to get another guy; I'm trying to break Kuz up for anything. He's that bad. I'll take an expiring and a rookie contract. I'll take Nurk and Nick Smith. Zach Collins and Julian Philips. Even Mann (not expring) and Bufkin. Etc. He's so so bad.

Zion being a scumbag sucks, and also furthers the Bucks pathway to a top 10 pick next season, which I already believed was wide open. The idea Bucks need established vet in Giannis trade is pure fallacy. A young guy, a rookie, 2 picks this season, and their top 10 next is "fine"

I find this little number fascinating. And what it says about the 2 and the 3, more than the 1 and the 4

The meeting being delayed/pushed back, tho, is not a good/helpful thing

Kyle Kuzma can't be on the basketball team next season tho. Pacers will be east faves. Knicks will be better if they don't hit the mins wall. Cavs will be back. Magic are going to be really good. He can't play in any of those series. Can maybe play against Pistons. Tbd. He's gotta go. Please. 🙏

I think the Pacers are better than the Knicks

The Pacers have really perfected "so aggressive you can't call all this."

Drunk.

This game is going to rule. This is chaos already

A truly incredible, all-time take from a comment from a Celtics blog about Giannis. Print it. Frame it. Hang it. The deranged work of a madman.

LaMelo Ball has played 231 games in 5 seasons

If some of these Bucks free agents want real money, everyone is going to have to learn to speak sign and trade. Is what was rare about to become en vogue? Those are difficult. BP/Lopez/GTJ s&t's (1 or 2, at least) are a real off-season wild card for re-imagining next seasons supporting cast.

Yea, not seeking out Giannis trade chatter; it's omnipresent in the nat'l coverage. And as long as you're going to make me come across it, the least you can do is make it interesting. And logical. And worth more than Rudy Gobert, Anthony Davis, or 35 year old KD. If you want to be about it...
