    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    Whoops. Completely forgot that Ridley signed there.... So, the Patriots have a bottom 3 WR core.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    In fairness to JT/JB/Horford, the biggest offenders were KP and Jrue. However, the core 3 definitely weren't as locked in on defense as you would like them to be in a home playoff game

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    Bingo. This team needs leaders and professionals right now. I wouldn't touch anyone with character concerns (Mitchell, JPJ). Get a culture built and then integrate the more talented headcases

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    I can see the Knicks or the 6ers. No disrespect to OKC but it's just not a destination. Especially for someone as famous as LeBron. Honestly, the biggest mistake he's made in the last decade (by a long shot) is convincing himself and Rob Pelinka that they NEEDED Westbrook and they could...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    LeBron is averaging 26 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists on 56.1% shooting and 41.2% behind the line. Jokic is the best player in the game right now. Was anyone comparing him to Jokic? Or saying they were close? I get that you don't like the guy but I am struggling to figure out who this...

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    I think it's important to note that Maye is coming into what seems to be a good coaching infrastructure for a QB. McAdoo and AVP are both highly respected (McAdoo especially). The talent on offense is pretty barren but I really like the coaching they have set up for him

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    I still can't believe that he's Luke Maye's brother. Drake is a good looking kid and Luke looks like he's trying to audition to be a GEICO caveman

    Probably depends on how the offense looks right? I understand wanting to get him reps but I also wouldn't want to throw him to the wolves to get destroyed. Let Brissett take those knocks

    That WR group has to be one of the 5 worst in the NFL. Clearly the Chargers are the worst but the Patriots are just ahead of them in a group with the Titans and Panthers.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    You're also burning a minimum of 2 years of Penix's rookie contract. That 4 year window is when you can load up your team and really make a run...the Falcons pissed that away immediately. EDIT: There's no defending the pick. Yes, there's a thought process behind what they did. The thought...

    Mitchell,McConkey and Coleman-the BPA thread

    So, I live in Tampa and I root for the Bucs. (I also root for the Pats but that’s besides the point) Early in the process there were rumors that Tampa LOVED JPJ. Like they were going to get him no matter what. Within the past week some Bucs insiders have brought up injuries (concussions and I...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    This. The Heat don’t have a single blow by player. Their “point guards” are Jaime Jaquez and Tyler Herro. Jaquez wasn’t a blow by guy even in college. I mean, I would think you WANT this iteration of the Heat to try and drive to the basket. I think the only person you’d be scared of is maybe...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    So, this is where I disagree with you. I don’t think Embiid was trying to hurt Robinson. I also can’t call it a “competitive” play. It seemed like a childish lash out to me. “Oh you’re not going to call fouls? Well I’ll just grab this dudes legs and not let him jump. Let’s see if you’ll call...

    R1/3: Drake Maye QB UNC

    I think JJ and the Patriots both ended up way better off with what actually happened. Minnesota is a great situation. I think New England would have been the absolute worst outcome for JJ. He'd be constantly in the shadow of Brady to the media and a segment of the fanbase (Michigan...

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    He's 10000% not plodding. He's not a great separator but I honestly think that that's become way too much of a common negative refrain. He definitely has good play speed (as shown during the gauntlet at the combine) and he's a good route runner. He was also the clear #1 option on FSU and was a...
