KOC getting roasted for this

Brandon Miller just had one of the best performances of the college season amid the controversy: 41 points with the game-tying shot at the end of regulation and the game-winning layup in overtime. pic.twitter.com/81kNMM4B5r

“Ben Simmons kinda handicapped us”

it was obvious during the game in philly that niang really does not like him

probably tough to respect someone like simmons when you were a 50th pick who made good and you've made like $12 million in your entire career

this fuckin guy celtics are the top rated clutch team in the league and just beat the sixers by running a beautiful play with six seconds left on the clock what a clown

Celtics got the win but their end-game offense remains a concern against great defenses like the Sixers. Strange lineups, bad ATOs, and far too stagnant.

non-nationally televised knicks-celtics game with mike breen on the call on MSG is a nice bonus of living in nyc

Dan Le Batard tells Stephen A. that he HATES what he and @SkipBayless have done to sports television.

i dislike richard jefferson so, sooo much

hes such a weenie

he’s lame, devoid of charisma *and* a dick. such a bad combo

he is now criticizing spencer dinwiddie for not going for a lay up down 3 with 8 seconds left and no timeouts

“no shot blocker in there” he says incredulously

ThreeFourTwo Productions has acquired The Dunker's Spot... Happy for them, but ugh have to listen to more gambling add reads.

Also hope they can edit the length of their eps down.. last one was 2 hours 40 minutes.

Jefferson is so bad, revolting personality

that guy really stinks

he just seems very pointless. jj would be fine on his own

the amount of playoff preview podcast content is overwhelming

This is the absolute best week of the year to listen to NBA podcasts. I just heard Bill Simmons say that Giannis will become "the best player since LeBron" if he wins a title this year, and then when asked to clarify he said, "Let's say LeBron ... it goes til 2018, right?"

i tend to like the post game pods way more than the prediction stuff.

still thinking about how last night, as the camera showed tatum & brown embracing, mark jones said “the two Js… smoking on that philly pack tonight.” honestly did not know you could say that on TV

also after one of tatum’s made threes near the end he said “jayson tatum! not always there when you call but always on time” which actually felt like a correct interpretation of that lyric w/in the context of a star player missing every shot for 3.75 quarters but then draining three threes to ice the game

classic calls last night

lol yeah good stuff

doris on the other hand sometimes she goes so deep into her success wins mindset soliloquies its like are you even watching the game, she said that philly was down 0-2 to start the series twice before jones corrected her, its frustrating cause she knows ball but does so much "this wonderful young man" shit

its funny i saw both celtics and philly fans accusing her of being biased last night, i think cause shes so complimentary when fans hear it for their own team theyre like yes makes sense of course but then with the other team its all why is she in love with them

doris seems more flowery this year than in past years

yeah sometimes there’s a paternalism about her but she’ll also call guys out in a real way too, it’s almost a yin/yang of the same emotion, tough love kinda thing. she was right to be genuinely incredulous last night @ embiid & harden kinda giving up on the game. also she went viral for calling out dillon brooks in round 1

when JVG is on a big playoff game & treating it seriously and not doing 80s stand up routines i still think he’s the best we have in terms of breaking down the game in real time, even like during a possession. but doris is up there for me in that regard

TNT is kinda slipping, their play by play guys are great but reggie and SVG are not amazing. stan is aight but he’s not as good as his brother

i like jeff’s off the wall shit, his contrary ornery shit

hubie is the best as far as analysis, but thats all he does

xp was funny a few games ago where jvg randomly went on a huge rant about load management, i think it was a lakers game and breen was saying something about how it would be good for bron to get more rest for the next game and jvg kept doubling down saying he thought the vets would be better in the next game the more minutes they played, to establish a rhythm or something like that

it’s impossible for me to separate my feelings about him from the starks/ewing/oakley knicks but i think even without that he’d still be my favorite color guy

cant believe these coaches who watched first hand as the spurs built a dynasty on being the first team to do load management and yet they still dont believe it

also after one of tatum’s made threes near the end he said “jayson tatum! not always there when you call but always on time” which actually felt like a correct interpretation of that lyric w/in the context of a star player missing every shot for 3.75 quarters but then draining three threes to ice the game

this was so great, such a weird line to suddenly reference and yet it fit perfectly as you say

Back when JVG was coaching, I only ever saw him in photos and so I always assumed that his affect was closer to Eeyore than to Jefferino Hot Dog Buddy.

what is this nonsense

oh my god. hahahaha

he’s such a dweeb. I can see all his tweets tho I think?

i had a pleasant run in w/ stan van yesterday. he hopped out of a car outside my office in midtown and i was like “what the…” but there’s a very famous restaurant right next door & it turned out he was looking for that (not an uncommon occurrence). i think he flew down from boston for the night to hang with his wife. he’s lost a lot of weight, he looked good

it was actually at least the third stan van encounter of my life. back in his heat days he didn’t live too far from my parents, his daughter and my brother were in middle school at the same time. he always looked kinda disheveled, it was a bit like running into khalid shield mohammed. he’s looking better these days
