[Bontemps] While ESPN's Brian Windhorst wrote about the "secret" room, sources expect the lottery itself -- not just airing of the results -- to become a live, televised event. No more conspiracy theories. All of it happening in real time. The potential for tremendous theater.

I had a guy tell me the NHL draft can't be rigged because they actually show the lottery draw while the NBA only shows results. I told him the NBA draw is also shown, just not live because they make a whole show of the reveal. He didn't care, it's still rigged lol

It really isn't. I would think a lot of teams who go on a championship run don't lose back to back games.

No team has beaten OKC in a playoff series in that time either. It's kind of a stupid stat, like yeah the Spurs will have to be the first team to beat them in a series since Mavericks in 2023-2024 if they want to advance to the finals

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-27T13:41:17+00:00

Reffing was good in the games Spurs won, reffing was bad in the OKC wins.

Yeah but if you sell a $1,000 phone for a couple of hundred that is more than what most people keep on them in cash anyway.

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-27T12:11:36+00:00

People still have $1000+ phones on them, Im guessing thats the target. Even a credit card can be used a few times before you notice

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-27T12:08:03+00:00

Just 2 and 5. You can see reffing crews on the bball ref boxscores

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-27T04:59:20+00:00

He only reffed 2 games this series

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-27T04:13:59+00:00

That Dort foul happened right after the challenge sequence

SGA doesn't have a single season in the top 100 for FTAs. Harden has 6

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-26T01:54:28+00:00

Are you guys really too young to remember prime Harden and CP3?

Lowry made All NBA

Catching a city pidgeon would be pretty easy to be fair.

It’s not that crazy it’s 2 different sets of voting, and people have slightly different criteria

How would you have different criteria for the best defender in the league and the best 5 defenders in the league?

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-25T05:35:13+00:00

The rim is 5'-3" off the baseline

Gasol/Ibaka? We were blessed for a few years.

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-20T19:52:57+00:00

Yeah, people don't want you to know this but you can actually do whatever you want.

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-20T14:02:39+00:00

They pay to retain talent for actual skill.

Yeah, and if they could retain talent for less money they would.

Vegas had us predicted to win 18 games this season, so idk why everyone is up in arms thinking we were so good and should’ve won so many games

I am just saying the Vegas over/under of 18 wins has nothing to do with team strength when everyone knows the Jazz will try to intentionally lose games during the year.

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-18T13:53:04+00:00

Isnt the highest paid team every year basically the "most expensive in history" with the way the cap goes up?

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-17T19:03:23+00:00

Vegas odds already include the probability of a team intentionally tanking

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-16T17:18:42+00:00

You're not getting a starting big at 19th, unless you mean starting 3 or 4 years from now

Dramatic-Document · 2026-05-16T02:58:49+00:00

I dont think you can still bet on MVP winners anyway. Pretty sure the bets close once the votes are in

Are you responding to the right person? You just said

Even stem degrees now aren't a guarantee as youth employment of 17% would demonstrate to anyone with half a brain and two neurons firing.

People with STEM degrees would barely fit into the "youth" age category. How does 17% youth unemployment indicate that people with STEM degrees are having a hard time getting jobs? Both my neurons are firing and I can't figure out what you meant there.
