...and with the fourth pick in the 2025 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls select Rocco Siffredi

I don't like Frankenstein stat records but combining regular season and playoff scoring seems fine to me. Unlike rebounds or steals, who scored how many has been tracked to the very beginning of pro hoops.

Ultimately this is meant as a celebration and not a bullet point in contract law. Let people enjoy things.

Jokic.

Just...


Jokic.



Wow, Jokic.

 

[swingline]

Back to back games against OKC will, or might, determine who gets the MVP. The Shai "narrative" is strong, but the Joker is the first playground pick until he retires. And even after that.

Both are worthy this year. There isn't a wrong pick.

Watched the Bucks last night and they just seem to have knocked out in the first or second round written all over them. I have no idea what they're running offensively and they inspire no confidence defensively.

Not to take anything away from Cleveland, who was impressive in the cool manner in the way they dispatched the Bucks.

Well, hold steady, Ybor City
You're up to your neck in the sweat and wet confetti
If you want to get a little bit light in the heady
It's gonna have to get a little bit heavy

They're jamming jetskis into the jetty now
With some guy who looks like Rocco Siffredi
And I've heard he's been dead once already

I miss Jrue.

LeBron out a couple weeks.

Better call up Bronny.

 

[Starman]

Dennis Schroder has been a hell of a pickup for the Pistons, a legit pure PG in the Chauncey Billups mode. Having him on the floor allows Cade Cunningham, who has arrived as a Dream Team-level superstar, to focus on his own offense rather than setting the other players up. For the first time in 15 years or so, the team appears to have a plan, which appears to make sense.

So the Jokic 30-20-20 game...

He had a triple-double 2 minutes into the 3rd quarter.

Over the rest of the game, in the second half...


...he recorded a second triple-double.

Goddamn.





Goddamn.
