    [mention]LloydChristmas [/mention] my boy and I were watching it live and in the 4th, everytime kyrie would shoot over someone we’d be like “nah.” And he’d knock it down everytime.

    Scary

    So the quality of new hip hop releases is about to drop precipitously, I guess.

    CNBC reporting that owners will seek to be repaid for upfront cash to players for missed games

    This even as many players have stepped up to take care of arena workers with their own money. They should stipulate that any of the refunds go immediately back into payments for arena staff or the community.

    They won't, of course, b/c abstract figures on a screen representing their bank accounts are worth more to most of them than the people who make the league actually go, but what else is new.

    Today I learned that the Boston Celtics, owing to a 1999 trade with Denver, had the option to take Denver's first round pick in 2001, or roll it to the 2002, 2003, or 2004 draft with the following protections:

    Top three protections in '02
    Top one protection in '03
    no protection in '04

    The option to roll was entirely Boston's choice, as long as the protection didn't come into play.

    Boston opted to draft Kendrick Brown with that pick. If they'd punted their selection to '02, they could have had the #5 pick (with talent like Amar'e Stoudamire, Nene, and Caron Butler available). If they'd punted to the '03 draft, they'd have had the #3 pick, with talent like Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade available. And, well, there's no chance in hell they would have punted to '04, not with that '03 talent available.

    In that same 2001 draft, the Celtics were prepared to use a pick to draft Tony Parker, even having a Celtics Cap delivered to him, only to have the decision come from on high that they needed to draft Joe Forte instead.

    So, join me in a hearty LOL @ Boston

    Looks like the GarPax era is finally over. Thank Christ for that. Arturas Karnisovas seems like a decent choice. I’m happy.

    I will not believe the GarPax @epic will be gone until it's officially done. But Karnisovas seems like a pretty good choice and is obviously a step in the right direction.

    And you think @Juliet316 with everything going on, people would just let things go. But the NBA Soap Opera seems like it will just go on like it always does.
