    Probably gone, but he was going to opt out regardless of whether he stays or not so this isn't news. Opting in would be a terrible decision after that injury when he knows that there are teams out there today that will give him a 4 year max. If he stays he can get a 5-year max that nobody else...

    Let me explain what I meant.. firstly, I'm obviously only talking about offense. Secondly, I'm talking about his ability to create runs for his team in a way that nobody has ever been able to before. Yes, there have been many guys in the past you'd rather give the ball to for a bucket. Durant...

    I'd take this year's team at full health against any team in NBA history. Any team. Assuming today's rules. They were just never really fully healthy all year. Iggy and Green missed a lot of key free throws too in this one, Iggy was 1 for 5, Green just 0 for 2 but anytime you miss back to...

    Chernobyl

    Binged this over the weekend and finished tonight. The word a couple others here used that I'd most agree with to describe it is sobering. Fantastic series, but wow its sobering how close this came to destroying a sizeable chunk of Europe. Yeah I was amazed a couple of the divers are still...

    Warriors didn't play that well and still scored 109 (although that was bolstered by a lot of free throws.) Giving up 118 to the Raptors is the bigger concern from yesterday. Double teamed when not needed, left too many shooters open, had little help presence in the paint when guys penetrated...

    Stop doubling Kawhi please, and play Bogut over Boogie. Boogie had a couple nice passes but gives zero lane presence on D, need that more.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The only reason I'm not more angry about this is that Endgame delivered pretty well. We had two chances to get epic endings in the same month, one of those chances hit so it appeased me to some extent. But yeah, have to agree with that all. Its on par with The Last Jedi on the disappointment...

    I picture Bran as going more towards God Emperor of Westeros than Dr. Strange. He'll live for a 1000 years as he becomes one with a Weirwood in King's Landing while getting rid of winter forever by carefully sculpting the future. The North will eventually rebel, and to get their precious...

    Did the Unsullied and Dothraki get rezzed after the battle with the dead?

We seem them all charge into the army of the dead at...

    Bucks could be where the Warriors were in 2015. Had some very talented young players including an MVP candidate, then replaced a poor coach with a good one and suddenly they're a 60 win team. Legit. Went nuts watching that game yesterday. Watching the Splash brothers eliminate the Flop...

    Fingers crossed for a grade 1 calf strain. Grade 2 or worse and he's probably done for the playoffs outside of a Willis Reed type return to a game or two of the finals if they make it that far.

    Its not just that. I'm sure all the KD drama has taken its toll as well and they are less a team for it. There's this expectation that KD is gone but they'll definitely win another title before it happens anyways, not so easy.

    What did Magic do to destroy that team? He took over the shitshow I think a year after they had already signed Deng and Mozgov to those horrid contracts. They obviously made the no brainer move to bring Lebron over given the chance, and it was also the correct move to not sign any 3rd or 4th...

    Mostly just watch college hoops to see the top draft prospects now, or if my team happens to not suck. But overall college hoops just aren't that good in comparison. I'd rather watch mediocre NBA games over all but the top college hoops matchups with top prospects. NCAA would be so much more...

    Its what the NBA has become but it doesn't mean small market teams can't succeed. The Pelicans are in the same boat as MOST other NBA teams period, not just small market teams, they are not the minority. Most teams have to do well in the draft in order to succeed. Not just in a single year...

    Eh. Lets remember, the last time something like this happened to the Pelicans it was Chris Paul. He wanted out, they weren't going to get much value back. In fact they got a complete shit sandwich, probably worse than what they will get back for AD. Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, and Aminu. That...

    Kyrie wouldn't be part of the trade because NO knows that they're in the same situation with him as they are with AD, he wouldn't stay and becomes a FA even sooner. Brown, Hayward, Rozier is horrible value for AD. Brown's value is no longer that high. Decent player but the further he gets...
