Danno - why so serious?
That is the laziest shit in the world. Post something, get called on it. Respond saying "you're wrong, cite sources". Have sources cited, double down on being wrong and get called out again, then respond "lol, why so serious". Come on, man, be better.Quote:

Calm down? Which one of us is Walter Sobchak and which one is the Dude?
No, for the record I *exactly* said "By most accounts other than yours, it was very successful."Quote:

Okay. Got it. I certainly cannot dispute that you don't like it.
Most accounts means actual NBA fans aka a strong majority. Googling something specific and getting those results doesn’t mean shit - I can Google the opposite and get a ton of results too.
Hey if everyone here thinks the in season tourney was the shit and you’re super excited about it next year by all means let me hear about it and I’ll stand corrected.
TNT crew clowned on the Lakers for hanging that banner.
Go to NBA Reddit and click on the stories about Ham being fired and the top comments are mostly jokes about the IST.
Whatever. You win. Calm down.
Quoting this for you. This was all that I said about it. Seems like a pretty harmless comment. I know ratings went up (they had nowhere else to go for that time of year), that doesn’t mean I can’t laugh at it being dumb.Quote:

For what it’s worth I liked watching it. It gave me hope that the Pistons could at least compete in some kind of playoff. Of course my hopes were dashed, but oh well.
Dumbest fucking game ever.
How does Donovan put up 50 fucking points and they don’t get the W?
They’re really missing Jarrett Allen.
I’m at a wedding this weekend, so I’m pumped your cavs completely cheesed the game so I don’t miss game 1 of Celtics vs….. ?
Okay, I’ll acknowledge that the IST is more fun than watching your team lose 28 straight games to tie the NBA record, but that’s a pretty low bar.Quote:

This is really good basketball.
Great game. Ant is amazing. Looking forward to watching him more the rest of the playoffs.

Should be a fun series- I can definitely see this one going 7. Expect Jokic to go off big time in game 2 (not that he wasn’t good last night).
Ant might just be the real deal. Wild to watch.
Nothing the Nuggets have done so far this postseason has given me any reason to be comfortable. TWolves seem hungrier so far.
I was a big Ant believer after his rookie season, then he had a little sophomore slump and reportedly was a bit out of shape, then last year was a weird adjustment period with that roster (and he was still good). But how easy we forget, he doesn’t even turn 23 until later this summer. Dude is the real deal just had to grow up a little.
Who's Jokic s backup? 2 talented 7 footers could be tough...I like twolves chances.
Aaron Gordon is his playoff backup.
OK Celts, let's make this a 6 game series!
You want your Cavs to lose in 6??? I mean I'm all for that. But I'd think you'd want your team to at least go down fighting. 8)Quote:

Rib injuries suck. Ask me how I know.
Apparently he can't even put on a shirt right now which that must be really great when you're trying to play post-season basketball.
Hope he and you heal up quickly.
Well the good thing about rib injuries is they only hurt when you breathe.
Mine was in a previous lifetime. Motorcycle accident. Cracked a few, bruised a few. I was young then and thought I was made of indestructanium.Quote:

Regarding expectations, I'm predicting 7 games going either way or a 4 game sweep by the Celts, no middle ground. The Celts like to choke at the worst possible times. And the Cavs will definitely put up a fight. That's my hot and runny take.Quote:

I can't argue with any of that, but I'm kinda thinking the Nuggets don't want it enough. Or maybe Jamal is too hurt. Either way, I'm wondering if Minn has the edge now.Quote:

It always amazes me how NBA TV announcers have apparently never bothered to read the rule book when it comes to screens. Like they literally don’t understand the rule and just blah blah blah. Go Knicks!
Refball strikes again. That screen call is almost never made, likely can't find an example of that type of "moving" screen being called this whole playoffs. Let alone the "kickball"
NBA is such a farce. Why even bother being a small market team in the playoffs

No doubt.. Talk about getting punched in the face!
It wasn’t a moving screen it was a space violation.Quote:
