Cavs got vv lucky when Bron returned. I'm still not 100% certain the bulls have ever fully psychologically recovered from the Jordan/Pippen exodus and the subsequent Tim Floyd era.

my pointless best guess at the draft order is something like this:

L KD
S GIannis
L Brow
S Harden
L Kyrie
S Derozan
L Boog
S Embiid
L Russ
S Jimmy
L ZInger
S KAT
L Beal
S Draymond
L Wall
S Klay
L Dipo
S Lillard
L LMA
S Lowry
L Love
S Horford

thats weird because i think horford was the first pick

jus reverse it then

reasonable

its wldve been funny if they just picked the guys from their conferences

But also sad

now that this is done i finally see how cool of an idea it is

Would pay good money to hear that conf call w steph n bron

spottie i think your draft order is prob pretty accurate, tho i'm pretty sure i read steph got to pick first once the reserves started up.

ha love totally got picked last, by bron, because he had no choice

Yup

Ah yah xp clay

lol russ

haha

lowe’s podcast is my fav thing... he has annoying tics (basically going on meaningless tangents) but i agree with goon that it’s far more accessible than his writing.

windhorst is a good gossip

anyway i came here to post that terrell owens was on the TNT halftime show and kenny and shaq were convincing barkley that t.o. was good enough at basketball to play in the NBA

I def prefer simmons' pod to lowe's but lowe's is reliably good for sure

i started a thread to talk about pods and such
A thread to talk about NBA Podcasts / Personalities / Announcers / Shows / Broadcasters / Commentators

joakim apparently yelled at hornacek and is now on a personal leave of absence from the knicks.

one of the worst contracts ever and no one talks abt it cause its just assumed the knicks will do insanely stupid things

im chalking it up as the worst contract ever

i feel like there must be worse but not coming up with anything

they knew he was likely irrevocably injured right

i guess not

they should have known?

Fultz made a three

Finally found his shot.

seems like the range of motion on that shoulder is fine

ooph the shot of crowder stepping over love

I broke down the Cavs issues yesterday... Here's an excerpt on my thoughts on potential trades... FULL VIDEO HERE: https://t.co/gPo4bAxNSp pic.twitter.com/wiePWYzR9c

okay I've been laughing at the sidebar image of r/mkebucks for like three minutes straight

^boils down to the players believing certain refs have it in for them or for their team and the refs giving them too many grounds for that belief. also, lots of players put a lot of time and thought into learning how to foul surreptitiously and flop effectively, but every player gets angry when refs miss calls.

if the competition weren't so fierce, the tempers would cool down, but the level of competition is at an all-time high rn.

been waiting for that coach nick cavs breakdown.

the cavs overhauling their team in one last ditch effort to beat the warriors but then straight up not practicing seems categorically insane

taking in some of portland @ mavs and i think i had totally wiped harrison barnes from my memory

living the quiet life retired in dallas

cavs are good again btw

if they cn average 115 they shd be good

rockets were down 21 to the pellies late in the 3q, have tied it up with <3 mins to play. on ESPN

i can't believe the boogie-AD thing is actually working

oh my god boogie no

boogie b ok plz

if boogie blew his achilles i'm going to cry

this looks really bad

Oh no
