This is why we need to go back to man-to-man defense with hand-checking and tougher travel calls.

Makes good defenders more valuable and elevates the floor necessary for someone to be a quality shot creator. Also restores the premium on big having fundamental back-to-the-basket play to operate in the elbow and low-post.

I mean, considering how terrible shooting was in game 4, this is just readjusting to the mean.

Lakers being sold and theoretically run by competent owners (the same people who own the Dodgers) should be terrifying for the rest of the league

[kisada]

isn't magic part of the dodger ownership group though? i'd have a difficult time imagining them locking him out of decision-making.

anyway, jeannie's a turd and i doubt she'd ever sell lol

one might wonder how a team like that would fare with the bob myers machine though, with them looking to optimize the organization from top to bottom.

[Krandor]

I guess I should have opened with that the sale is already happening, announced like an hour ago

TWG Global owns the Dodgers, the Sparks, Chelsea, and the Cadillac F1 team starting next year

[kisada]

hah

[Gredival]

Thank God. Management has been terrible since Dr. Buss died.

well first bad game of the series (OKC with twice as many turnovers as assists dios mio) but game 7 lesssgooooooo

maybe that'll get people to pay more attention to the high level basketball being played between young stars than who owns the Lakers

[Dimmauk]

I agree. People aren't watching because they still think its all about, flopping, jacking 3s, woke, and traveling never getting called. It's a shame.

Our lord Wemby will bring back the casuals.

Its mostly angry white people that are complaining and talking about ratings. They can fuck off and go watch cornhole and pickle ball

[Gredival]

I've been watching and I still have those criticisms.

That being said you can tell even here the activity of the thread plummeted significantly as we got deeper into the playoffs. NY getting knocked out being the most significant one it seems.

[Gredival]

The WNBA has been entertaining though. They seem to be entering the equivalent of the 80s NBA.

KD to the rockets. but also go pacers

[Andalusian girls]

someone on Reddit broke down the Suns net return for the assets we gave up for KD and it is deeply franchise-alteringly depressing

on the other hand go birds first game 7 Finals since Bron Kyrie Love took out the all-time GS squad no let's fuckin go

[Krandor]

Considering Jalen Green is basically a negative asset at this point the Suns got a horrendous return

[Dimmauk]

LOL Rockets. Dumb trade for a fossil ready to break.

[Krandor]

WELP, there goes Haliburton's calf/achilles

[archibaldcrane]

so uh

pretty sure Haliburton just tore his achilles...

[Andalusian girls]

ohhh nooo

[Krandor]

Oh Lord you can see the pop
