The Cuomo campaign just texted me that Zohran Mamdani was a huge Brochachos fan and is the reason all of our favorites are being kept off TV????

🤼‍♂️

It's very much a perception thing No other reason for point margin in NBA games to be that consistent over 80+season with widely diverging rules.

is the nba lottery rigged? a friend asked, and i ran the numbers in @marimo.io: trevorma.nz/blog/is-the-...

Not quite enough on Doc. Fixed now lol

So young women are dating older men because men their age are immature? This is unprecedented!!!!!!!

Post Day 1 sim. No Lillard Still (might change soon) Pacers move to 84% Knicks to 97% Nuggets to 89% Twolves to 88%

There's always a guy in the playoffs that's the personification the sunk cost fallacy. Just shouldn't play. Kuzma has that conch. It's interesting that they yanked him at the half. Suggests people on staff agree.

Playoff Spo always has it.

Incredible bend from Declan Rice (CBS Sports Golazo)

So Final pre round one sim

"we want to be a championship team so we...traded the dude who spearheaded an nba finals run less than 12 months ago"

"the objective was, how do we create a roster for the future that allows us to be the most competitive team?...we want to win championships. we want to be a winning franchise...we want to be one of character." —patrick dumont, talking out of his ass, on the luka doncic trade (via lukaupdates)

The answer is "probably Wilt" As it always is in this kinda situation

There's been some motion in the title odds OKC 52% Cs 14% Cavs 13% Nuggets 7% Lakers & Ws 5%

Mavs effectively traded/gave away Luka, Brunson and Porzingis for: Anthony Davis Max Christie Spencer Dinwiddie Davis Bertans (no longer in NBA) 1 first round pick 1 second round pick Poverty Franchise

Ok. Updated and corrected NBA sim: To win the title OKC 48% Cs 17% Cavs 11% ( most helped by corrections) Ws 8% Denver 6% Lakers 5% Pacers 1% Knicks .5% I am assuming some AD for Dallas.

I probably need to give the Rockets a bit more oomph because of FVV. BUT the Ws are loaded with Playoff guys.

Tulips

Wow. I'm so happy that Luka was able to do this while overcoming being nowhere near NBA shape!

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

it is october 2023. drake just tied michael jackson in #1 hits. he worked so hard. he is so happy. whatever lays ahead, his future is bright.

Sigh. The actual thing the basketball gods would do is AD is done for the season and Luka carries the Lakers and Lebron to one last finals.

Congratulations to the Eagles youtu.be/CopBfDlSHug?...

The Hornets took a shot and cold called Pelinka on paper it was a great looking trade for LA If the Lakers, who have been managing AD don't think they can keep you healthy....

Oh I’ve been SCREAMING it 😂 I’ve been calling Kuzma a basketball terrorist

When you're in a Sublime cover band you actually DO have to practice Santeria.

It's a Pizza Hut that turned into a Pizza Hut

How does everything just fall into the Lakers’ lap Like Rob Pelinka is going to be taking a nap this summer and when he wakes up Giannis will be sitting in his office with a bow on from the Bucks

I respect that the Lakers are built around healthy upside. Basically trying to get into a tight series and letting Luka cook. Puncher's chance really.

Glancing at the Lakers futures

Look, I don't like it personally but I recognize that Pelinka is the executive of the year in a laugher.

Mark Williams is a good, decent upside pickup center that should benefit from playing next to Luka.

"Why yes, Middleton is exactly the perfect addition to this Cs team as a min salary guy"

Seeing the Middleton trade after the Springer news and going like

This is just a bog standard bad trade

Well deserved. His brand and the Mavs brand should be toxic.

Contrast how shitty the entire Mavs organization looks to how the Lakers and their fans have gone outta their way to treat AD well. Just an utterly unprofessional and classless organization in Dallas.

I keep coming back to the Mavs front office showing an unprecedented level of disrespect for a top 5 guy who wanted to stay and just took the team to the Finals on his back. Why would any star ever want to play for that organization if they could help it?

Let's Play a Game. I'm gonna do a Luka style trade for every NBA Team Let's start with Atlanta: Trae Young to the Heat for Terry Rozier

I hate this game 😂

The true evil would be Jayson for Jimmy Butler or Jayson for Kyrie
