    Do you vote for all-star selections?

    That's awesome. The SoSH mafia once again is everywhere. Hey look man, getting Latrell Sprewell into the ASG was the only way they were gonna save Jeff Van Gundy's job. He's just trying to put food on the table. :)

    Do you vote for all-star selections?

    On the one hand, it doesn't really matter, and when you're one (or at most a few dozen) votes among millions, it might seem like not a great use of time. On the other hand, it's a chance to throw some praise on the pile of players you admire, both on your team and around the league. Which...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    This is a really smart post and I buy this logic, it sounds very plausible with everything else we know about that draft run-up. Am at least a bit surprised LA never called to talk about a 1/2 swap. But the lack of a call reinforces everyone's conviction that Magic was taking Ball no matter...

    January NBA game thread: The Deep Midwinter 3

    they'll need some help from Chicago and Detroit, clearly. And Lebron and AD to actually play. But that's why we watch!

    Yeah but you have 30-40 years left to earn a living. He doesn't, not at those levels. He can make it happen in the NBA, can go to Europe for 1/3 to 1/10 of the money, or can start coaching and training and whatnot at regular-people salaries. I agree it was a dumb move by him to decline the...

    General NBA season thread: 24-25 edition

    Season really falling apart for the Mavs. Gafford and Kyrie can maybe win a few games here and there, but they've gone 4-9 since Christmas when Luka went out, and sit in 7th at 23-20. Great time for us to be playing them in a few days though!

    January 2025 Transfer Window: All Bark and No Bite?

    I dunno guys, was I just too high on JoGo after the dual-national panic around him, and how we had no fullback depth? Because having a second quality LB would've meant so much for us, maybe I saw technical skill in him that wasn't there. He's had senior caps (mostly cameos) for both USA and...

    2024-25 Golden State Warriors: 99-0

    The Celtics, who would worry quite a lot more about today's Hawks if you replaced Trae with an even better shooter who works his ass off every second he's on the court and can play passable defense. Well, I guess we'd say it more like "noooooooo!!!!!". ...but seriously, the Dubs say no because...

    January 2025 Transfer Window: All Bark and No Bite?

    Fair enough, my impression was that they were betting on him becoming a first-team contributor for them, but I guess for $200k he's just Another Brick In The Wall to them, and a sale to Greece after a semi-successful second-division loan probably counts as a win. But he was 2021 League Best XI...

    January 2025 Transfer Window: All Bark and No Bite?

    Just don't tell it to Jonathan Gomez, who was supposed to be the poster child of how to get from USA to Europe without MLS controlling and taxing the process. And the vanguard of a wave of players doing likewise. But his experiences have clearly scared off other clubs from acquiring out of USL.

    What would you say is the biggest farce in the results? I assume Ichiro's non-unanimity?

    The local blog went up to Maine to see and interview Oshae Brissett after his game for the LI Nets, and he was surprisingly candid: https://hardwoodhoudini.com/boston-celtics-oshae-brissett-talks-departure-nba-free-agency-return-basketball-long-island-nets-maine-celtics-signs-g-league-contract

    NWSL 2025

    Yes, credit to Boehly. But regarding the Wave I think there's no way these deals happened (Shaw and now Girma) without new ownership signing off on them. So the real question is, why was Girma asking out, why did she go from "reportedly very content at San Diego" to "get me out of here", even...

    2025 HoF Ballot

    Announcement is at 6pm tonight. Only meaningful change on the tracker in the last week is that Beltran is +2%, now at 81.3%, which probably gives him a ~10% chance of getting above 75% this year. Ichiro remains unanimous among public ballots.
