Can someone remind of what the LeBron scandals were? I’m drawing a blank.

“I’m taking my talents to South Beach”?

Is Ja Morant the last star player to not go to a $50k a year prep school?

Morant attended Crestwood High School in Sumter, South Carolina … He could not dunk until he was a senior

lebron left a team after 7 years. kobe raped a girl. same same.

Kobe. Really? That’s the never got in trouble example? Sorry to all women.

This is one of a thousand reasons why no one pays me to coach. Horford+Rob Williams had like a 90 defensive rating over the last two games. It hadn’t been very good this year, obviously changed!

This video breaks it down:

It hadn’t been good because Robert Williams has been coming back from injury. About halfway through this series was when it felt like he was starting to catch lobs consistently.

From after the play-in:

Every year I gotta deal with Bam…

Even when Rob’s been healthy this year he hasn’t looked quite the same. He may never get back to 2021-22 Time Lord, which would be sad.

The DRtg for the two big lineups was definitely not as bad this year as I thought, though. You’re right that it likely improved during the year. It was 99 in big minutes last season, which was insane.

Happy to be wrong!

One last thing - refs get a lot of garbage, I want to compliment the ref that (A) didn’t fall for the Marcus Smart flop when he was defending Embiid (B) then called the foul on Smart when Embiid landed on him. That’s how we get rid of this. Really could have called a flagrant on Smart. They didn’t fall for Harden’s nonsense, either. Much better product that way.

All he has to do is claim he’s making a film and everything is magically different.

Insanity.

I’ve read a lot of “Celts in 5” takes and it’s like…… are you guys aware of how difficult the Celtics make every series?

You can put two wins in Jimmy Butler’s category right now, imo.

Do we know how serious Jimmy’s ankle is?

LMAO at 3 percent.

What did this crack analytics team have for Heat/Bucks?

Heat have ~20% chance to win the series based on the only metric that matters.
