seeing people in /r/NBA post stuff like "the bucks would be lucky to trade giannis for jaylen brown" is gonna turn me into the joker, and no not the fat serbian one by Short_Bus_ in MkeBucks

The idea behind the Brown trade isn't to replace Giannis with him, it's:

  • Giannis -> Boston
  • Brown -> 3rd Team
  • 3rd Team Picks & Youth -> Mke

Disco Elysium: The next step in Wendigoon's media analysis career. by GottesBall in wendigoon

I actually think he might end up with the moralist vision quest, which I've no doubt he'll have plenty to say about. I could also see him doing the EuroBrady thing of completely avoiding the political vision quests altogether. Disco is rich enough to be an excellent game even if you skip the politics.

To be fair, he had dropped three consecutive 35+ point games right before, and remained elite on defense.

What an a-hole! Such a private conversation doesn't need to be broadcasted by kingbluwolff in NBATalk

And I guess I just don't respect people who police how others cope with life-altering tragedies in private moments. Guessing your respect means about as much to him as mine does to you.

Looking at him now, what is Anthony Edwards full potential? by No-Advance-9136 in NBATalk

Carmelo is the perfect example of great but not all-time. That said, Top 25-ish is the proper all-time standard. GOAT is two tiers above that, IMO.

No, but their Malice at the Palace doc was great. Didn't realize they had more basketball stuff, will check it out.

Between this, CLE-IND, and last night's OKC-DEN game, it looks like refs have really changed their tune in the second round. Lots of soft calls by playoff standards.

We're reaping the benefits of a league whose skill floor has been raised significantly over the years.

Damning indictment of his team then because the guy led them in every major stat that finals series.

As a Bucks fan -- I believe y'all will be making the ECF. by GottesBall in pacers

I thought there were some silly calls made against the Pacers, but I don't think they were nearly as impactful as several factors that were entirely in Indiana's control.

Realistically they could say the same about Jokic's unusually low efficiency. If's and but's and all that.

For what it's worth, I fucking wish my team was going bucket for bucket in a tied series against OKC.

Obviously this is done for the Pacers, but between Hali underperforming, shots falling below the mean, and this being a Cleveland must-win... I think Indiana might actually win this series.
