    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    Watching Luka get credit for defense is hysterical. He basically had no choice but to block Plumlee, but otherwise he looks like a fucking matador out there. When the Clippers start making a few shots, this game will be over.

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

    Jesus, feels like they need replay review for the L2M report in order to understand it. Why not just write "we fucked up" or "we didn't fuck up" and call it a day.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    He might be one of the dumbest players I can remember on the court. Happens all the time.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I think the more interesting question would be where these guys would have ended up had the Bears taken Mahomes and immediately threw him into the fire with John Fox as his coach and throwing to Kendall Wright and Josh Bellamy, and Andy Reid took Trubisky and let him sit a year and learn from...

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

    Ok, so I guess as long as it's a basketball play, a defender who makes contact with the ball first is excused from any contact with the offensive player that occurs immediately thereafter as long as it was a normal defensive movement. I would imagine that while watching the games tonight, I'll...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    My guess is the Pats haven't gotten the right offer yet is because teams either want Maye or Daniels, but until Washington (or someone) picks their guy at #2, there is no way to know which of them might be there at 3. I would imagine as soon as Washington picks, the Pats phone lights up like a...

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

    I fundamentally do not understand the rule anymore. This post isn't directed at you PKB, just a jumping off point. I completely understand that if you get ball first, and make contact with a shooter's hand or even their arm, it likely wouldn't (and shouldn't) be called. However, the...

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

    I think this is exactly right. The Lakers just don't have the offensive horses to score enough points and sustain it for 48 minutes. They've now jumped out to early leads in both games, they were up 10 in game 1 about halfway through the 2nd quarter, but Denver just slowly climbs back in it...

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

    I think you need to just run on them. Constantly. Wear Jokic down, make him work on defense.

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

    That outlet pass by Lebron was pretty filthy. Not gonna lie.

    Round 1, Game 2 -- Toronto @ Boston

    What a pass

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I think this is trying to prime the pump for the Pats to say "ownership and the staff are on the same page" with whatever decision is made (drafting or trading down). I don't see anything more to it than that. After the apparent contentious relationship with the Krafts/BB in the public sphere...

    Three day out check-in

    That's fair, it's not that rare. My bigger issue is that I don't even think the #5 overall pick in next year's draft produces a potential franchise QB. Maye would be the #1 overall pick in a shit ton of drafts. If you've got a chance to get him at #3, I just don't know how a team can pass up...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    If you have the #1 pick and you don't need a quarterback, there is only one answer to that question. "I would trade the #1 pick, also known as Caleb Williams, for a fucking king's ransom." But no, this coach who doesn't need a QB, would grab Jayden Daniels to sit behind his QB. Everything...

    Three day out check-in

    I've been on the Drake Maye train (or Caleb obviously) on this board since January, 2023. If they are in a position to get Maye, you get him. If not, then you have to see what you can get in return for a trade down or alternatively, if they also love Daniels, you just draft him. It's really...

    The Krafts

    Of that, I have no doubt. Thats a massive change, I imagine it'll be brutal for a while for folks in the middle of it.

    The Krafts

    My brother's in-laws have made donations to MGH that dwarf the Krafts, even have an entire wing of the hospital named after one of them, none of them have even sniffed a seat on the board, never mind the Chairman's role. I can agree that most of these board positions are likely who he is, but...
