Ostensibly Hoops

I'm more interesting than you.

You got jokes.

Looking forward to the 76ers/Celts game tomorrow. That's the title game for me, even thought both teams are heavily flawed. Bucks were probably going to take the East if Giannis didn't get hurt. I hate the Nuggest with a passion because they got the great white hope who makes me puke every time I see him. And I hate Lebron because he's overrated as fuck. Still top 10-15 ofc but this mf had the rules of the game changed so he couldn't be hand checked. That's BS. He and his pussy son can fuck right off.

Go Nuggets!

Sixers need a new coach. Get those boys someone who understands the ins and outs of the pick and roll and they'll be good.

or not rely on James Fucking Harden as your supposedly elite (he isn't in the playoffs) scoring guard...

The Celtics have plenty of flaws, mostly emanating from coaching / leadership, but the better team won.

The Celtics will get bounced by the Heat and Playoff Jimmy. Spoelstra is going to coach circles around Mazzulla.

If Pops or even Spoelstra had a team like the Celtics, they would have swept the Hawks, finished the Sixers in five, won the conference in five at worst and captured the Finals in five games. Losing Ime Udoka thanks to his #MeToo moment and Hardy to the Jazz crippled this team coaching-wise. This is a team that should have 60-65 regular season wins and a championship, but the lack of proper coaching and leadership has killed them.

[Tree]

Harden has a killer instinct while Embiid is a bit of a goofball.

[DooKSucks]

The only thing Harden kills consistently this time of year is his team.

[Tree]

True. He doesn't always shine in the playoffs. Neither does Tatum. Tatum has a complete team at least that doesn't run its offense through a goof ass point center who doesn't know how to call for the ball in the clutch. So go figure.

Go Nuggets

Lebron, AD, and co are going to fuck that ass up. Officially rooting for the Lakers since Rat wants the pussy nuggets to win. AD is going to put some heat on Jockitch that he hasn't felt so far.

[Jungle Rat]

I'm watching baseball. I really don’t care. The NBA sucks.

[Tree]

Celts/Lakers in the finals. Celts in 7.

[Tree]

And no one cares about a 160 game season this early.

Go Nuggets

Caleb Love decommits from Michigan

Michigan admissions suggested he try elsewhere

Not surprising given his original school

[eCat]

Schools not included in the "Magnificent 7": Duke, Louisville, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, and Boston College.

from some reading, it appears 1/3 of the schools have to challenge the GoR before anything can happen, 8 schools can break it up

[hedge]

Well, except for Duke and Wake, none of those schools were original ACC members. Of course neither were FSU, Miami or Va. Tech, but they all bring big followings and generally good (football) teams with them, which seems to be the driver here. Notre Dame doesn't count, they're more worried about their own brand than anything to do with a conference, much less the ACC, even though the ACC is a perfect fit for them...

[eCat]

for selfish reasons I'd love to see UNC in the SEC, but UNC has a definite Big 10 lean

I could see Clemson, Va Tech, NC St and FSU in the SEC.

the funny part is Louisville went to the Big East, they blew up , and then they were bragging about how elite they were going to the ACC, and now the ACC doesn't want them either.
