The good thing about BI is he can shoot over defenders.

Do they have some history or something?


Mathurin said it was about Ivey getting picked ahead of him so he goes at him extra hard everytime they play.

I’ve said it before. He has Rasheed’s physical mannerisms. Even the way he walks.

Their games have some overlap but not too much.


Sheed wasn't a bad passer, but he doesn't have Scottie's vision

Sheed was also an elite man defender which Scottie isn't.


I feel like Scottie would be just as good man defender if he only defended 4/5s like Sheed was doing. Sheed didnt have to chase smaller guys around and that probably helped his overall effectivity.

Even the team practice is now a televised show, with crowds and introductions. Just as the game itself used to be competitive, practice used to be private and more serious. I hate the spectacle of all this.

There is a solution to all this….not watching any of it. Personally I’m just watching college ball this weekend mixed in with some Scottie’s tournament of hearts…even Scottie knows this stuff is crap and has chosen to promote curling.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Apparently the logo and Seminoles name has the approval of the Seminole tribe of Florida.

I think it's fair to assume most of these logos don't have the consultation of indigenous folks, probably not so cool to call me out on that.

Dope that's the case though.

I think it's more the...what is it called, taking offense by proxy? It has just unnecessarily taken over so much of the western world/social media, and a landmine for people to unknowingly make themselves look foolish.
