That's the media for you. I've said many times sports media has a rooting interest: The Story. They want their job to be written for them w/minimal effort. Telling the whole truth gets in the way.

Or how about Lillard. So much talk about how he was clutch in the elimination game (and the deeeeep game-winning heave) against OKC. But then he serves up a clunker in a game seven against the Nuggets. Was he clutch in the OKC game? No, not in my book. He's a great player who had a great game and a great ending moment. Was he a choker in Gm 7 vs Denver? No, he just had a poor-shooting game. Yet, the narratives are / would-be inconsistent. The narrative labels him clutch for the OKC game, but did NOT label him a choker for the Gm 7 dud against the Nuggets. But it surely would've labeled him a choker (or at least something like it) had McCallum not had a phenomenal game and Portland won. To put it another way, if you (not necessarily you, TheMaus2) feel that Kawhi is "clutch" because he hit that shot, why don't you feel that he choked when he shot so poorly during the bulk of a game seven, and especially when he missed that crucial free throw near the end? |

That is why I like the Bucks to comfortably win the series against the Raptors.
Even if the Raptors can slow down Giannis (slow down meaning like 22/8 on 50% FG) The Bucks have 3-4 other players on any given night that also produce. Brogdon should also come back and be very close to 100% and he is such an efficient shooter, good defender and one of the highest IQ players and best assist/TO players in the league. He is going to get paid this summer by someone. |

went through two lottery simulations and the hornets ended up with the 1 and 2 picks in both. Zion landing in Charlotte would be the worst case scenario for the NBA tbh

If Cleveland's dumb ownership blindly bumbles their way into another #1 draft pick I am quitting basketball in protest.

And that 6.0% chance may have saved NBA basketball in New Orleans.

Just glad he didn't end up on the Bulls/Knicks/Lakers/Sixers. Only so much more Zion fatigue I can endure.

Did Shaq get a business card from Don Cherry's tailor?

Why would the Knicks want Kyrie & not Kawhi?

I thought this series would be a lot closer than it's been. I haven't seen the Warriors play like there is a fire up their ass in quite some time.
