Generally speaking, areas of this country with large black populations are due to one of two factors: 1. Their ancestors were brought to that region against their will as slaves; 2. During the 100 years between the end of the civil war and the civil rights advances of the 1960s, blacks...

They already offered too much for Conley. Since Conley apparently doesn't want to play here, withdraw the offer, depress his trade value and Conley can go enjoy Detroit. Given the way the team played with DM handling the ball, I'm not sure why Conley should be the guy to get at the trade...

Did you pay yourself on the back for this diatribe? Make sure you never use idiot, moron or lame in any online or in person discourse.

Clippers East.

Jayson Tatum would have won RoY in many years. He's a great player. It's apparently dawned on other fans that Simmons could have played for part of last year but Philly was too busy finishing up their tank job. Meanwhile he's getting the NBA trainers and coaching that whole year. I'm curious...

What an incredibly stupid line of questioning/argument. What are you going to ask next, "would you be clapping and making noise if Westbrook missed a shot when playing street ball?" Aside from some white people who like to be racist there are others that get off being patronizing scolds. Some...

There's some truth to this. There's a level of nastiness to the U v Y thing that's uncommon outside of the SEC. Some of the fans carry that over to the Jazz games. It's a real stretch to say this is racism. I can't think of someone more ill-suited to comment on fans' bad behavior. What, Ron...

D Will was running Sloan's offense which allowed him to rack up those assist numbers. True, that requires talent which D Will had. But DM's assist rate is significantly less because of Snyder's system which allows two or three guys to run the offense (DM, Rubio, and Ingles). Rubio has also had...

Given the +/- of Westbrook in this series, they'd be doing OKC a favor if they suspended him.

LOL, what difference does it make if we look ahead at the Rockets? It doesn't affect the team. These kinds of posts are hilarious.

I know I'm being Debbie Downer here but Houston scored 50 points in the third quarter last night. When that team is on, I've rarely seen the game played better.

I love the quip about there being a slew of guys entering the 2037 draft with "dreamy eyes and a sick handle."

Hakeem was awesome during both those runs. He dominated Shaq during those finals. Hakeem was the one all-timer from that era (aside from Robinson who never faced him and didn't win anything until Duncan came along) that was never crushed by Jordan.

Yes he was. And Harden kind of has that reputation right now until he proves otherwise.

Back then, there were only two divisions per conference and division winners received the two top seeds. Even if you had the second best record in the league you would get the 3rd seed if the team with the best record was also in your division. Well, that's what happened to the Jazz that year...

You're a bit in denial on this. If (big if), Simmons learns how to shoot then you have a guy that comes close to LeBron's skill set. Even now he's a much bigger Jason Kidd which is pretty awesome. The downside is he could become Blake Griffin if he loses a step and doesn't learn how to shoot...

I'm not sure if any franchise is ever going to be able to work the tank again like Philly. Simmons should have come back last year but they wanted one more high draft pick which only gave Danny Ainge the opportunity to jedi mind trick them ("you really want Markelle Fultz, don't you? Even if I...

Anthony Davis, Giannis, or Ben Simmons. Every other guy is too short term on his contract, has a sketchy injury history, not enough time left in his prime, etc.

I don't want to pollute this Portland thread too much, but the other team that's coming apart is Minnesota. KAT is looking like a mess under Thibs in the playoffs and Wiggins hasn't developed well either. I thought Minnesota was going to be perhaps a threat once GS and Houston start declining --...

No, dummy. Lol
