    I mostly have no idea what Utah’s master plan is at the moment. They half tanked for a couple years, they fully tanked this past year, but they have very little to show for it. Maybe this is the offseason where they unload their useful players for draft capital. Just not sure what the direction is overall

    The take away from them at series is that one team was healthy, won 68 regular season games, and was the overall better team (regardless if the nuggets were healthy or had two injured starters). There is no reasonable takeaway to make about the mvp vote that happened weeks ago.

    I hated: bill using tropes like “Ant needs more swagger” when talking with Lowe, when all Zach wants to do is talk about how OKC blitzes late in the shot clock and how minnnestoa should use more double drag action to get Ant free.

    I kind of liked him bringing Fennessy and Ariel on to shit talk

    I’ve thought about it a lot. If you can do it for Jalen, Onyeka and picks you do it but I’m not sure why Milwaukee would settle on that unless Houston and SA just don’t play ball. Maybe they want those 2 plus Risacher plus picks?

    Atl has 13/22 this year and owe a swap to SA next year and owe the pick outright in 27 I believe.

    Hawks roster is so thin in the front court, they don’t have another C on the roster at the moment other than OO, but I think they probably draft one if they don’t do a deal with someone and they probably re sign Larry Nance Jr.


    power forward was decimated too. It was a combo of Mo Gueye and Georges Niang. I like Mo on defense and if you hypothetically had Dyson, Mo and Giannis you could have me and dump at the 1 and 3 and not give up a score. However that is mortifying floor spacing


    If the hawks dogshit owner brings me in and asks what to do, I’d probably see if I could talk Ishbia into giving me KD for some picks and trash. Move ZR to the bench, try and sign Steven Adams, draft Sorber and Coward and see what that looks like.

    Him like leading off with "Giannis > Jokic" immediately got my attention, and it's just been constant bomb throwing ever since. Shitting on Houston fans, shitting on Sam Presti, this man takes no prisoners. I need more of him in my life where do I find this insane man.

    The immediate reaction would be for Atlanta fans to "recoil," as Lowe would put it, but if the Hawks offered Johnson, Daniels and someone like Bufkin or some other salary filler, and then threw in both 1s this year + picks in 29 and 31, that's kind of interesting in a world where the Spurs say they aren't interested. That still leaves Atlanta with Young, Risacher and Okongwu. And Milwaukee lands two legit young players + 4 first rounders out of it.

    I don't really get the Houston fit and think they're better off looking elsewhere, as dumb as that might sound. Obviously, if the Spurs or Thunder call the Bucks it's over for everyone else.

    cultural time capsules

    Q: In college, my friends and I (all straight males) had an ongoing conversation about which NBA player we'd have sex with if held at gunpoint (I guess we got sick of talking about the girls at school). I always went with Steve Smith. Our friend Adam, in one of the most bizarre and disturbing acts of imagination I've ever witnessed, chose Larry Johnson. I still shudder at that one. Are you man enough to give us your pick? Or at the very least, your criteria for making such a decision, purely hypothetically, of course.
    -- Butterfront, Brooklyn, N.Y.






    SG: What school did you attend, the University of Riker's Island? For comedy's sake, I was going to pick Steve Nash because he's so unselfish, but forget that -- I vote for the bullet in the head. More importantly, where did Butterfront go to college? I always thought my buddy Bish went to college with the ugliest girls -- let's just say it was a NESCAC school -- where the guys actually got drunk BEFORE they went out so they could have the beer goggles going before they even started talking to anyone. But Butterfront's college has to take the crown, right? Can you imagine being so bored with the girls in your college, you felt the need to start a "which NBA player would you have sex with at gunpoint" conversation one night? Shouldn't we only be having that conversation about WNBA players?
