At some point white folks, especially bald white folks, need to realize headbands make them look ridiculous. Actually, now that I think about it, that rule applies to every race.

I mean he kinda had one good season with the Knicks and has been pretty average every other season. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He’s not bad but not a big needle mover either imo.

Slick Watts resents that remark. 8-)

2 things I've always found kind of weird/interesting. One, why don't NBA refs wear shorts? It'd be cooler, more comfy and they'd make them faster/more agile. Two, why do FT shooters have to dab up every one of their teammates after their first FT attempt, make or miss? Always thought that was so strange and a waste of time/energy.

Buddy, let me tell you as someone who's shaved his head for 15 years, the sweat flows freely to the eyes when there's none of that hair to work as an impediment. Gotta have something on the dome, appearance be damned.

Haha, he just passed away a few months ago.

Another guy who may take issue with me is Chris Gatling and that metal plate in his head.

As another guy who shaves his head, I get it. But I don't have that issue, but I also don't sweat a ton. I'm sure some of these guys wear them as a need, and some (most) think it's a fashion statement (Bron).

Shane Gillis kind of alludes to this in his Austin stand up. Check out "Special Olympics".

I, for one, cannot continue playing at my peak if my teammates don't dap me up after a FT attempt.

Was thinking: Jrue to Phoenix could make a lot of sense.

So i took a look at both teams' cap situation. Phoenix has a team option they can decline that gets them to just 3M over the 2nd apron. Im sure they could figure out the rest. They could then aggregate in a Boston trade. But with Beal basically immovable, whats the point? Having 54M locked into negative value is too much to overcome.

Then Houston is just sitting there with the rights to a couple of their future picks. Houston needs offense. Booker (or KD) would be a perfect fit for them and take them up a level in the playoffs.

Booker or KD would also be a great fit in Orlando or Detroit.

Then again, the Suns new owner could fail to see the writing on the wall, or not care, and just plow forward with his trash can roster.

I swear Mitchell Robinson gets every offensive rebound when he’s out there. Knicks are better with him on over Towns.

I guess it's not a hot take given how old it is, but Starks threw that down over Grant not Jordan. Will give them over Grant and Jordan. But not over Jordan alone.

Dunk over Jordan sounds cooler but I did laugh at that bit of Knicks propaganda.

I had a little chuckle, too.

The officials favoring Indiana in an NBA playoff game against New York is a plot twist.

Happened in game 1 also. I think the refs are just so bad in pro sports now and you can watch so clearly at home it stands out.

Indiana keeps answering. NYK fans have to be sweating this one hard.

Yeah, this series is kind of the litmus test for NBA officials just being God awful. Not so much trying to screw one team or the other like they did in the past.

I can't imagine the league would want one of their biggest markets to go out in 4 or 5 games. But the way the officials are calling the game, it seems like that is what they want.
