Today's game is an example of why I bet against the Chokeboys. The Rockets have rehearsed pretty well and they knew exactly who to target in this game - Looney and Curry. They've clowned Looney so hard I think Kerr would be crazy to have this repeat for a third time. I'm still annoyed Kerr didn't call a time-out before the Rockets went 7-0 and blew the Warriors out of the water in the third quarter. To me, it looked like the Rockets got under his skin in a bad way and he kept making really bad mistakes like a missed layup and a lazy foul on Chris Paul which lead to a layup and a free thow.

Ultimately, I think Golden State was just a good Steph Curry day away from a win here, but the rest of the team can't go absentee because Curry doesn't show up.

Yeah I mean as time goes on I really think he might be. 8 straight finals is nuts. And to pull this hodgepodge team there... very reminiscent of 2007. Which means he's probably going to get hammered by the Rockets/Warriors but still. I'm hoping the Cavs can somehow pull off a miracle and win the Finals. Because you know if they don't all of #NBATwitter and everyone is going to try and use another Finals appearance loss to discredit his legacy. It's ridiculous. Jerry West was 1-8 in the Finals and he's the damn logo.

Time to trade Rozier


We should have won that game, dammit

Anyway LeBron is definitely one-of-a-kind, I cannot imagine things happening like this for anybody else

Looks like the Warriors get to beat his team down in the Finals again, tho

Harden's getting the MVP tho, so there's a consolation prize.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE THEORY?

THIS "ANONYMOUS SOURCE" WHO "WORKED IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" WHO WOULD HAVE A BONE TO PICK WITH COLANGELO IS NONE OTHER THAN SAM HINKIE?

OH MY GOD

THE OTHER THEORY IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE

THAT HINKIE WAS RUNNING THE BURNER ACCOUNTS

BIDING HIS TIME WAITING TO STRIKE FOR TWO YEARS

THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS


BASED ON HOW THE ACCOUNTS TALK LIKE THEY'RE CURRENTLY IN THE TEAM, THOUGH, I DON'T THINK IT COULD BE HINKIE

THE EVIDENCE POINTS TO A MEMBER OF THE COLANGELO FAMILY (INSIDER KNOWLEDGE, LIKING TWEETS ABOUT THE COLANGELO SON)


PLUS THE WHOLE "I TOLD THE SIXERS I KNEW ABOUT 2 ACCOUNTS AND ALL 6 WENT DARK" IS PRETTY DAMNING



AND THE TOPPER IS THAT THE SIXERS "LEAKED" TO WOJNAROWSKI BRETT BROWN'S EXTENSION LIKE 12 MINUTES BEFORE THIS PIECE DROPPED

HOT DAMN

The collar tweet was the best for sure. Close second was from the enoughunknownsources account where he was like "I'm totally not Colangelo, but I've worked with him and he's the classiest guy I know!"

lol

this is going to end with the Sixers not getting him, LeBron, or Paul George, isn't it?

Even before the Astros cheating scandal broke, I was heavily disillusioned by the increasing corporate, "whorish", sterile and spectacle-oriented direction MLB was going in. Obviously the Astros scandal is what tipped the bucket for me and got me to cancel my 8-year old MLB Gameday subscription, but my dislike of baseball was brewing for long before then.

I had been curious about the NBA with the Warriors rise and the Kings staying put in Sacramento, that interest coincided with my distaste for MLB. So this year, I quit Fantasy Baseball and played Fantasy Basketball with BPK.

Maybe next year we can all play in the same league!

That's not what I'm here to talk about though. I went from 0 mb basketball knowledge to maybe...1.2 GB? Certainly not much, but I at least know what a rebound is now, even if I don't understand a lot of the other nuances of the game that come with actually watching it on TV or listening over the radio.

I've had to learn more about teams as a necessity for this game and I've got to say...the Sixers, probably the most snakebit franchise in the NBA?

I don't think the Sixers even have the excuse of a stupid, inept owner like the Knicks. The team's players are like dominoes. When Simmons goes down, I could have gone to Vegas and bet on Embiid breaking his shoulder the next night.

Is this real life?

I did research on Sixers blogs/articles regarding that. I don't think Tatum was ever an option. Colangelo didn't desire Fultz so much as he feared Lonzo, for all the reasons the Lakers eventually ditched Lonzo. Imagine LaVar Ball in Philadelphia...

Colangelo was afraid the Lakers would take the BPA in Fultz with the #2 pick and leave the Sixers to pick Lonzo or take a reach at #3. Most of the picks after Fultz weren't that sexy either, and the King's 2019 pick ended up pretty worthless, so the Fultz pick was a good move sabotaged by snake venom.

I think the Sixers medical staff and Philadelphia media are what destroyed Fultz. The medical staff wasn't honest and the media/fans scathing and relentless. I think Fultz could have grown into a big market with expectations if he was at full strength, but injured, unproven and trying to shake a bust label was too much for him.

Right now, he's playing about as well as Goran Dragic. I don't think that is an outcome if he stayed on the Sixers.

Oh yeah looking back on it with what Fultz was supposed to be and all of the information we had at the time it was absolutely the right move to trade up and take him. He was supposed to be the final piece that connected everything together. And then since he didn't work out we've gone through like 3 different roster iterations never for more than a few months at a time and it looks like that's how it's going to be again with the way Horford and Harris (especially Horford tho) have been underperforming

In a game against the Clippers, one of the top 3 teams in the league I'd argue, without our two best players, Josh Richardson gets hurt. Because of course. But Shake Milton steps up and sets an NBA record and almost wins us the game?

I have no clue with this team
