Steve Kerr on Draymond’s post-game 2 show: “What Miami did tonight… they said let’s make Jokic a scorer and take away other people” Nuggets have lost all 4 games in the playoffs when Jokic scores over 40. 3 of those 4 were this year. Time and again I see people here thinking far too tactically about why teams win or lose. Basketball is...

Doesn’t feel like anyone calling or covering it is excited. I saw a Twitter discussion on how they’re not even using the usual finals banner and scoreboard digital package. The crowd feels really in and out of it. It feels and is being covered like a first round series. I get that they don’t have much historical footage to use at least for...

Phil Jackson did an interview on the Stacey Kings show. In it, he plainly states that Jordan wanted to lead the league in scoring. Again, not because he had to, but because he wanted to. This isn't a knock on Jordan, but it should put an end to the argument that the Jordan scored the way he did because he had to. Granted sometimes he did have to....

Probably….right? The Saudi’s have unlimited finances and threw deals at PGA guys too good to decline. Dudes got 200 million signing bonuses…but some refused. Rory is said to have turned down like 500 million and Tiger said no to 800. 800 ****ing million dollars. He said no. But some small time(relative) guys did too. One guy who has 15...

It begins

...Due to the nature of NBA playoff. There has been 'beating the odds' stories in sport like Douglas beating Tyson or 1980 US Hockey team. But those are usually one game event. I guess there were the 2011 Mavs team but I think this eclipse that by a long mile.

Does anybody have less "lows" in their playoff primes compared to MJ as far as "production"? Not really factoring in win, loss, or clutch factor. Even in his worst five series (probably 88 Pistons, 92 Knicks, 96 Sonics, 97 Hawks, 97 Heat, maybe a random 98 playoff series?), he's still out there producing at a high level. Even Lebron, who I...

This is what, part III in this excellent series? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hir6h4P_Yu0

Only the GOAT won that way AS A STANDARD - other guys only did it in one-off fashion

The owner of the largest hotel(and the 4th largest) in downtown San Francisco will stop making mortgage payments this year because they don't think crime, homelessness and the business coming back after COVID will get better anytime soon. Already half of the businesses in downtown have closed since COVID. 107 out of 203. 12 businesses have opened...

Boxscore watchers are in shambles right now not being able to understand how a team whose best player ppg is 20 can lead his team to the finals and possibly even a ring. So they resort to the most simplistic explanation: his teammates must be better than they seem! They're better because Jimmy makes them better. Nobody sets the tone for his...

LeChoke couldn't even win 1 game against the Nuggets with his stacked team but Butler won 1 with a bunch of scrubs. #LeFraud #LeChoke

With one of my favorite porn stars too: https://twitter.com/moriahmillsss?lang=en She going in on him. :lol

Denver never faced a team like Miami and that's why they're in serious trouble. They never faced a great defense like Miami, this is not like the other weak western teams denver faced like phoenix and minnesota that play ZERO defense, and a crappy defense like the lakers. And denver never faced such a smart and savvy coaching staff like Miami. And...

Former Heat champion Gary Payton was just interviewed talking how the 2023 Heat are an exact carbon copy of the 2006 Miami Heat championship team: https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2023/6/6/23750785/gary-payton-interview-miami-heat-culture-nba-finals Dirk Nowitzki and Nikola Jokic play similar games. Both are 7 feet tall and prefer to play at the...

Exactly one year and one day ago, Patrick Chewing taught Lebron23 how to embed YouTube videos. Marking a transformative chapter in Lebron23's life. From that moment, that day, Lebron23 went on a tear. Creating thread after thread with not just one, but sometimes two or three embedded YouTube videos. During this period, nobody has posted more...

looks like they released you out of the cage reminder - baldan took every single shot so you cant complain about pippen's scoring numbers: https://www.nba.com/bulls/history/pippen-stood-tall-without-jordan-1993-94

Could we see the best from both teams tonight ? Denver were up 2-0 in their previous 3 series and feel more pressure to win game 3 being tied 1-1 this time around. And the Heat when returning home for game 3's blew out every team in the last 3 rounds: Game 3 vs Bucks at home: 121-99 .... 22pts Game 3 vs Knicks at home: 105-86 .... 19pts ...

Now a free agent, where y'all reckon he should sign in the off-season? https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1666554716380188673

Like….should Jokic get whatever his contract would be in a no tax state? Not for his purposes…just to eliminate it as a factor in free agent decisions. Players have said they consider such things. Should one front office get a boost due only to state laws? I know “Should” has no place in business but I’m asking if you feel it would be...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wx6yr1Jrnw Two points I thought I'd bring out: * Kevin Love's size caused problems for Denver. Denver just roughly 80 pts/100 possessions with KLove playing; 160 pts/100 possessions with him on the bench. The stat is a little too juicy and I don't think he alone had that effect, but it did change the...

. * Destroyed by Vlade & Perkins in the 91' Finals * Destroyed by Kersey in 92' Finals (and Buck Williams was always a far superior player) * Destroyed by Dumas or Majerle in 93' Finals * Destroyed by Aguirre, Isiah & Johnson in 91' ECF * Destroyed by Starks or X-Man in 92' ECSF

Someone correct me if Im wrong on that but Im pretty sure. Despite calls for both sides clearly worthy of being challenged early on. What is the logic of “saving” a challenge? Can someone explain this to me? A possession or points have equal value at any time in the game. Coaches should be using challenges on the first one theyre...

Doesn't have McHale's post moves, but his touch is there, IMO he is a better passer than Bird, but both all-time great in that department.

I don't know what to make of this :lol That's some shit you'd see out of Night of the Living Dead.

Hes making like a million to barely do nba games now. Why go be an assistant? Unless he’s just desperate to coach again of course. But I’m sure he could get a college job tomorrow if he wanted it.

I didn't really put two and two together even though its so obvious. He is obviously knowledgeable about bball and is strangely absent here whenever the Bulls play. Is bdonovan actually coach Billy Donovan? Was everyone aware of this and I just caught up? Any other coaches post on ISH? I think SamuraiSwish was an NBA coach to if i recall...

Claims they aren’t looking anywhere specific but we all know Vegas and Seattle are up next. They’ll presumably do both and then move Memphis, New Orleans, or Minnesota to the east. The expansion drafts will be interesting. If teams can only protect 8 players and look to expose high salary guys there could be some amusing options. Some feelings...
