hate to admit it but I lost a little respect for breen and Doris when they were defending Durant against the flagrant 1 call for getting in Tatums landing space. saying he wasn't trying to hurt him etc. it's a letter of the law rule guys and is meant to be called objectively ever since that Kawhi injury against gs years back.

He's the most overprotected star in the NBA.

I lost a little bit of respect for Doris when they praised the job the Nets FO did in taking the team from the worst record in the league to 'title contenders' in 4 years.

The first half of it was brilliant I have to admit. With no picks mostly using castaways and journeymen along with a great coach they turned themselves into a bottom seed playoff team, that is remarkable and commendable.

Although, as soon as they went banana boating and tossed all that out the window including the coach filling everything in around those 3 mostly with ring chasers including the coaching staff there's nothing commendable about it.

It's the most unlikable way to have created a title contender even more so than the Heatles, even the Miami team has some organic aspect to it in some sense but not the Nets. It feels as inauthentic and gentrified as the Brooklyn hipsters and front runners that populate their stands.

If they win the title it will be the most ridiculed ring in NBA history and still only the second biggest story in their own city.

Chris Vernon's rant on Jakob Poeltl on the latest episode of the Mismatch is simply incredible.

Wow, I couldn't have said it better. The only thing you could have done to make this better would have been to add that photo of KD in a pussy.

Always liked Tobias Harris, he was carrying that clipper team before the trade. Rather have him than Beal if we had to trade.

Oh, that’s Boat House Row embroidered on the jersey. I love that area by the Art Museum.
