- Comment on What year is it: Muggy Bogues jersey to be retired 5 days ago:
Mason was on the knicks team that went to the finals and was with them for their best years during their relevance and MJ’s, Miller’s, Thomas’s East primes. He only passed away recently and is mostly remembered for his contributions with the Knicks though he did play for other teams.

Dear God that dude. Him and Mason on NY were two of the dudes in the league you don’t want to see in a dark alley.
- Comment on What year is it: Muggy Bogues jersey to be retired 5 days ago:
Oh I’m familiar with him–i watched him And 'Zo yam JT up. A sibling had the Hornets “Starter Jacket” in the early 90s. They were fun as hell to watch.
It’s simply just weird they’re just getting around to recognizing him now.Ybe they finally hired someone who understands the importance of legacy with a club and fans.
- Comment on Jaren Jackson Jr. to miss 6-8 Weeks with Torn MCL 5 days ago:
Quite the injurious start to the season here. ANT edwards, JJJ, Jalen Williams…like half of the first week of the season, shit!
- Comment on Anthony Edwards to Miss up to 2 Months with Injury 5 days ago:
Wtf is this start to the season man
- Comment on Bam Says Critics Scapegoating Him for Heats 0-4 Start 5 days ago:
Well they can’t well blame their new superstar. Welcome to politics bam, you’ll be gone next year if Miami doesn’t get to 2nd round.
- Comment on What year is it: Muggy Bogues jersey to be retired 6 days ago:
Sure, but they guy was last playing when Y2K was the major global concern! Taking nothing away from Bogues, it’s not his fault, but’s an admission of how hard up for a feel good story they are as an org.

- Comment on Tyrese Haliburton On First Game Back from Achilles Injury 1 week ago:
Agree, it does seem pretty wide open. OKC/SAS cemented, Minn could finally get over the hump, Denver seems like it’s time has passed but we’ll see at least 4 solid winners. The East will be interesting; does the same NY team show up, 76ers suddenly relevant. Cleveland will have to show some staging power, and Pacers may have their groove and leading player back.I’m pessimistic about Miami having depth to do anything.
Should be good!
- Comment on Tyrese Haliburton On First Game Back from Achilles Injury 1 week ago:
Glad he made it back and hope he brings it. The east is better with a grindy indiana team.
- Comment on Blazers fire new play-by-play announcer hours after hiring him. 4 weeks ago:
The insecure, cringey adolescent sexually-related stuff is sad but most people go through phases where they’ve said and done things they’re embarrassed about later. I would hope some of those weighed less on the decision to cut ties, though with a tenure of several hours, you haven’t earned any leeway in a position like this when it comes up.
The “I’m not racist…but” lead in to saying “Asian people piss me off” is not someone who should ever be employable if they want a public-facing job, or really any job. I have no problem with that shit following him around–if you made it to 15 with that kind of intolerable bigotry you missed some important shit and life has consequences for it. Sucks he or his parents or his environment were late getting him (or others like him) the message, but there needs to be a clear division between “you’re entitled to your opinion” and “there aren’t potentially serious future consequences for bigotry and there is no hiding from them.”

- Comment on LeBron James' Polymarket ad is a who's who of disappointing sellouts 5 weeks ago:
“Student of the game.”
Remember when LeBron told Morey to shutup and dribble when he spoke out against China repressing Hong Kong protestors?
James certainly knows where his bread is buttered, but surprised he’d be all in on aligning with poly market Trump Jr. Is on their board? Not really.
He’s a billionaire who sold out long ago…if he had any fight in him at all.

That is fucking crazy
- Comment on Lakers sold....again...after just a few years. Bob Iger(Disney) and Trump's son-in-law's brother would be new owners 2 months ago:
Yeah, I’m a basketball fan more than a Laker fan but can’t imagine supporting bitchass owners with Trump connections.
I’m in PDX and we have our own bitchass new owner issues so you’re in good company. Personally I hope our new PDX owner walks with the team; our city has people to feed and house and real problems to work through, bailing out a billionaire is low on the list.

- Comment on DeRozan Cut by Kings 3 months ago:
Bah gawd it’s T-Mac’s music, he’s suiting up too along with Kwahi and VC!
- Comment on The Celtics are trading Brown to the 76ers 3 months ago:
Was a bit of a head scratcher, I was reading Brown was irked he was included in Gianni’s potential talks, which is understandable as he’s carried the team during significant portions of Tatum’s absences. Bos definitely throwing in the towel on this core.
Still don’t know who legit contenders are in the east after this, NYK and Philadelphia? Mia is too empty to do anything even with Gianni’s unless they decide to seriously invest in this window, which TBF they are good about.
- Comment on Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray 4 months ago:
Yeah they needed grant a lot more than another talented point guard. Granted Jrue and lillard are in their twilights, they also have “face of the franchise” scoot?
- Comment on Sources: Lakers' Reaves intends to sign 4-year, $185M extension 4 months ago:
Good for him, dude deserves to get paid.
- Comment on Knicks sweep Cavs, return to NBA Finals for 1st time since 1999 5 months ago:
Flowers are due. They made a huge trade for Bridges after making the huge KAT trade and both have planned out. Bridges trade was treated with due skepticism but GMs are finally starting to trade big for winning basketball as much as big names. Alex Caruso, OKC same deal.
- Comment on Cavs decide they can "fix her" and net Harden by giving up Garland 5 months ago:
Narrator: he was not a visionary.
- Comment on THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION 5 months ago:
Who could have seen this coming from Harden?

Portland has nothing on the board in either round. Wow.

They’ll send you paperback versions of the books you bought, right? New copies on a supported versions?
- Comment on Bulls waive guard Jaden Ivey after anti-gay comments 6 months ago:
Or the “my account was hacked” bit that became standard PR move ~10 years ago.
- Comment on Cade to Miss Time with Collapsed Lung 7 months ago:
Damn. Hope he’s ok quickly. The NBA is better when there are more relevant teams and it’s been too long for Detroit especially given the season they’re having. The east needs at least 3 reasonable title contenders or playoffs suck and the finals is a foregone conclusion.
- Comment on THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION 7 months ago:
“If AD is reasonably healthy”
Why would that be a reasonable assumption or hypothesis? He’s played 1 full season (65 games per the NBA all-star inclusion eligibility) since COVID title.
- Comment on Bam Scores 83 to Put Up 2nd Highest Scoring Game in NBA HISTORY!! 7 months ago:
Durant’s comment is a backhanded compliment if one ever was made. “It takes a lot of stamina” is what his comment boils down to which points to the volume of the shots rather than talent–which seems pretty clearly supported. When your own team decides to go for it, when the other team is The Wizards who care nothing for the sport, when refs decide to play along, when you’re a has-been playoff threat 6th ranked team in the east…it all has to line up. Some "moment”. Big asterix to me.
