...Tree's retarded

[Tree]

I'd like to say the Lakers have a lock tonight and the golden child couldn't possibly go down 0-3 but that's not really true. The Nuggest are the best team. Jockitch has his limitations but he is a master of positioning, planning and understanding how to break down defenses, whether he has the ball or not. I hate watching him. That nigga belongs in the European leagues not the NBA, but he is here and we have to deal with it.

[Jungle Rat]

Are you a brother Tree?

[Tree]

This series is over. Denver's offense is too smooth. Kills me to say this but Jokitch is the best player in the league.

[Tree]

KD may be batman, but basketball at it's heart isn't about that. Jokitch is the new MJ. Makes his teammates better just by being on the court. Kills me because he's a tall white center, but he's got the goods. It's a team sport. Congrats to Denver on their title. FML

In that case, please speak no other words than those...

At the moment it looks like Calipari went like 0-7 in the transfer portal.

UK is dying on the vine in two areas - NIL guarantees (mostly because the money is tied up in the freshmen class he has , I suspect) and alcohol sales. UK refuses to allow alcohol to the general populace while allowing it in the luxury suites.

The transfer portal is a weird thing to me. Every kid in it wants a better deal than what he got at his previous school but at the same time, ever kid in it isn't good enough to go next level so there is a ceiling - yet they demand serious NIL money and playing time.

While there may be 3-5 kids in the transfer portal that would make a difference in a team, after that I don't think any of them will turn a team into a title contender, but they may very well be the difference in making the NCAA tourney or winning a conference.

Some folks were talking about a Celts/Lakers final, but it's looking like both teams need to sell and rebuild. Lebron at 38 is not going to be alpha on a title team. Neither is Mr Inconsistent AD. Sure they can beat some mediocre teams like Grizz and a flailing Dubs, but they can't put a dent in the Nuggets.

Jordan is still the Goat

Go Nuggets

[Dave23]

A healthy Grizz squad kicks the everloving shit out of the Lakers.

or shoots them

[Dave23]

Whatever works…

Heh. You’re coming around slowly.

[Dave23]

I try to keep it simple for you…

[Tree]

Yes simple is recommended here. Only took you a few weeks to get what I was saying.

[Dave23]

That’s because you speak gibberish. It’s not your fault. You were just dealt a bad hand.

[Jungle Rat]

Studies prove that children born into poverty grow up dumber than shit. We're here for ya Tree.

[Tree]

What were you having trouble with Dave? I said LA was the better team given the injury situation and you disagreed. Not a big deal really. I would just man up and accept it rather than pretend you can’t read.
