PowPing!

Wow, what an utter CHOKE-a-rama by Philthadelphia. Tobias Harris missed like 5 shots from 1 foot away from the basket, Embiid allowed Capela to dunk on him 4x, Trae couldn't shoot for shit and yet had no problem penetrating Philly's "elite" defenders (to get alley-oops on Embiid), and Simmons played like a scared little boy. Entire team was crap, and fearing loss more than chasing winning. Don't be like the 76ers in life, play to win, focus on the good, and ignore the bad to the best of you

Really thought no one would ever top the trade in which Hinkie netted a crapload of stuff in exchange for taking on salary: The trade seems so weak now... 76ers took on the contracts of Jason Thompson and Carl Landry in exchange for Nik Stauskas (a #8 pick in the previous draft, back then he seemed promising, and developed properly, maybe he WOULD have been-- but not with Bwett Bwown) 1st round unprotected from the ever-crappy Kings. The right to swap 1st round picks with the ever-crappy Ki

Itz been cute listening to @BillSimmons wade into the “get BI out of@PelicansNBA world” after Ive been screaming this for 2 yrs now. BI is a ball hog, hates giving up the rock to teammates, & his offense doesn’t count bc he still loafs on defense as last priority.‬ ‪Ball‬ ‪Bled‬ ‪Hart‬ ‪Zion‬ ‪Adams‬ Or Wily Really tired of watching BI drag pelicans into suck-dom BI needs to ride bench for Riley in Miami some day after he hits a low point hopefully before his entire career is Melo-lite.

Cancelled my NBA League Pass-- watching New Orleans Pelicans basketball just doesn't seem so exciting lately. Watched exactly zero full games of the NBA playoffs-- maybe a quarter or two of a Miami-vs-Lakers game before determining the league was about as fair as the WWF. I've been an NBA zealot for the better part of a half dozen years, starting in Sam Hinkie's 2nd year. Will divide all the time between two things: 1. Work, working on making BSV better via any means possible, particularly w

Never read up on Jimmy Butler's story til today, wow, it makes Michael Oher's story seem like boring old rice puffs. https://bit.ly/3j8376k (sucky way to read it, but as good as any-- U got a better one that isn't so ad-crazy?) Mike Leach and Nick Foles + Miami made this about my favorite weekend in sports in I don't even remember how long. Even better than when 59.5 year old Tom Watson pretty much won a major at a preposterous age (but had it ripped out of his hands by a fluke shot). 643 pa

Moving on... + give Houston all picks needed... the process never worked and will never work, let them try to process if they still believe in that thing SIXERS 1) Surround Simmons with shooters 2) Fix chemestry issues in Philly ROCKETS 1) Move Harden before he gets older 2) Harden was visibly apathic - he couldn't care less these Playoffs 3) They need to move on from Harden, they both need a fresh start after 7 years? 4) Get younger, get picks, still be relevant in the West

Tyler "The Hero" Herro just Michael-Jordaning Boston's ass with 9-11 2pt shooting/driving. Unreal. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29957859/tyler-herro-career-night-surprise-many-not-miami-heat-doing-all-year-long God bless Miami, I hope the "company man" refs give them a break again the LaLeBrows. Dragic emerged out of his post European-victory (when he paired with Luka for Slovenia) injury as the man he once used to be-- just in time too. Given a FAIR chance... Jimmy + Bam + Dragic +

Every series has been decided by which team has the bigger market. Boston > Toronto LAL > Houston Miami > Milwaukee Miami > Indiana Boston > Philadelphia (injured Ben Simmons) Denver > Salt Lake City Los Angeles Clippers > Dallas Houston > Oklahoma City Los Angeles Lakers > Portland Toronto > Brooklyn Portland > Memphis Only exception would be Milwaukee > Orlando, but it's close, and was a 1 vs an 8 seed. So far it's been a "TV Playoffs". Given how the refs have been known to be "company me

Can’t explain how great it would be to see Jimmy Butler lead his Island of misfit toys to a championship ring. Iggy kingmaking— so underrated. Like how they are using Bam properly— instead of Brook Lopez pulling down a single rebound as a center.

Possible pool for round two... Place $1 bets on a team to win the title. Correct bets split the pot. Use some kind of Bitcoin based cryptography scheme to hide what the bets are until the pool is closed. Happy to hold the pot or delegate the responsibility. Anyone in?

With some people I actually LIKE talking roundball on a social network (for once), we need some surveys now @unwriter ! Who do you like to win the wacko 2020 season chip? Lakers: Refs are gonna pave the way for LeBron, plus they probably a top 2 team without injury. Will never happen but would love to see Portland upset. Listened to interview on Lowe Post and McCollum seems a tad weak-minded for playoff basketball. Dame is money. Clippers: Refs might make them struggle thru and be tired b

Playoffs have begun! Doncic was a beast, but Clippers took it - as expected? How do you all feel about the "atmosphere" the NBA is achieving in the Disney bubble? Do you think the screens with fans sitting in virtual courtside seats and pumping in of virtual crowd noise. Good effort - or cheesey?

Finally! Where's @apagut for this? This NBA zealot is all about Zion Williamson & we made a long-odds bet they could win the chip in his freshman season with the help of Zo-Ball, Jrue, Faves, JJ & Villanova's two-timer Josh Hart. Unfortunately, injuries happened and then the Pels only weaknesses: Brandon Ingram's love of losing games by never passing the ball on a pass-happy team (instant death) and Brandon Ingram's playing zero defense on a defense-happy team happened.
