The NBA Thread

[DJSJ]

Lol at Celtics fans acting like their team just ran through the gauntlet, when their path to the championship was the easiest it’s been in decades.

Really a bummer ending, especially with the blowouts (that last game was brutal). I can feel happy for Tatum, Horford and Porzingis, but fuuuuuuck Jaylen Brown and his black Israelite bullshit. Mazulla is a religious nut job as well, it’s honestly astounding he’s as good a coach as he is, makes Mark Jackson look like an athiest in comparison.

ultimate woj bomb! shams got him!

weird--he's becoming the GM of St. Bonaventure mens basketball.

I imagine his life was utterly exhausting at ESPN. Having to be on top of everything all the time - I can get why he’s trading that in for what seems a much lower stress, but still pretty damn lucrative position.

You're probably right. I watch NFL games but I'm not a big follower of Breaking NFL News.

Maybe Ken Rosenthal for MLB? Hockey used to have Bob McKenzie; there are a handful of others now, but no one who is always first on something.

Maybe. Ken Rosenthal and maybe Jayson Stark are about as close as you come for baseball. But I feel like they're more focused on writing columns than breaking news stories.

Woj’s greatest moment was telling Josh Hawley to fuck off

That was my first thought too - I’m sure Simmons and many others are recruiting him. Gotta get him a job before the season begins!

Such a stupid decision. ESPN has gotten so much worse over the past few years.

If ESPN were smart, once TNT loses the NBA they would just throw giant bags of money at the Ernie, Charles and the gang, let them keep doing there thing down in ATL and just slap an ESPN logo on it.
