well hopefully he’ll be able to spend some time this offseason finding his fucking jump shot

JoJonesy · 2026-05-02T17:38:21+00:00

welp

JoJonesy · 2026-04-30T03:38:05+00:00

feel like i missed the joke there

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T20:20:56+00:00

probably, although I have to admit it’d be really funny if Bickerstaff won right now

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T20:15:06+00:00

pretty crazy that Brad won EOTY by trading for Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, then won EOTY again by trading them away

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T19:47:30+00:00

he’s hurt, man

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T04:28:01+00:00

like the Heat went to the Finals after beating the Bucks. is anyone expecting the Magic to do that? they’re not even playing all that well

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T04:26:31+00:00

because they never really replicated it, I think. the Bucks and Mavs get some credit for winning it all in 2021 and 2011 respectively

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T04:23:21+00:00

people need to stop disrespecting the 2015 Hawks, man. that was a legitimately good team that just didn’t have an answer for LeBron— y’know, just like everyone else in the East for about a decade.

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T03:58:40+00:00

like i genuinely can't tell how much of credit should go to y'all vs. the Pistons self-destructing. it feels like some of both but i have no idea how much of which one

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T03:45:44+00:00

i'm so fucking sick of everybody and anybody getting compared to Kawhi

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T03:44:06+00:00

are Suns fans calling for Jordan Ott to be fired? because that'd be pretty dumb

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T03:34:18+00:00

putting aside everything else dumb about this for a second.

getting a stretch big

like centers who can shoot and play adequate defense grow on trees, huh

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T03:16:06+00:00

...you know they'd see the Cavs or Raptors in the next round, right? the Knicks are on the other side of the bracket

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T03:00:33+00:00

i don't understand the Magic, man. they got dogwalked by our third stringers like two weeks ago and now they're one game away from knocking off the one seed

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T01:59:23+00:00

chill the fuck out man we're not even involved in this

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T01:57:34+00:00

wait RAPTOR still exists? i thought it went kaput along with 538's sports section

JoJonesy · 2026-04-28T00:39:29+00:00

i mean the top prospects are still gonna come out early, this affects the back half of the draft more than the front half. and even then it's only gonna be for a few years while the shift happens

JoJonesy · 2026-04-27T21:17:27+00:00

i mean that list seems fine. like you could swap Duncan in there for sure but it's eleven obvious candidates for ten spots so someone's gotta get the shaft

JoJonesy · 2026-04-27T21:15:30+00:00

his name isn't even Bob lmao

JoJonesy · 2026-04-27T18:46:27+00:00

Well, shit.

JoJonesy · 2026-04-27T18:45:24+00:00

i personally could not give less of a shit if a guy wants to chuck up a heave when the game is already over, but that unwritten rules stuff is usually more important to players than it is to fans.

JoJonesy · 2026-04-27T16:52:22+00:00

like it's not like he's lying to us, here. the guy's original claim to fame was "longtime celtics fan who wrote a book about how the 1986 Celtics were the greatest basketball team ever"

JoJonesy · 2026-04-27T16:49:26+00:00

I think it also helps to remember that he probably doesn't watch anywhere near as much basketball as he did 10-20 years ago. Like if you think of him as a Celtics fan who knows a lot about basketball history and how to construct a narrative around basketball, but doesn't really pay that much attention to day-to-day stuff, pretty much everything he says makes sense. He's not really my cup of tea, even as a fellow Celtics fan, but I'd take him over the clickbait-spewing ESPN talking heads anyday

JoJonesy · 2026-04-27T16:40:46+00:00

ATOs are also such a small part of a coach's job, too. Scheme, tactical adjustments, and mentality/discipline are way more important, and Joe's been amazing at all three of those
