  1. Spurs acting like we weren’t one number away from getting that first pick. Stay humble fella

  2. Glad to see you always keeping it real, Mike! 😅

    Other guys "We're going to be okay, maybe contend for a play in!"

    Mike "No dog, you are going to be bad and so are we!"

  3. Guys, Tanking isn’t defined by records, it’s defined by holding starters out with “injuries” to lose intentionally. A team can tank and finish with 40 wins and a top 14 Lottery slot. A team can finish 10-72 with a bad team and not tank because it wasn’t intentional. Do you got it?!

    The Blazers will win before the Trade Deadline, then after trading Brogdon, Grant and perhaps Thybulle, they’ll be led by the kids. I predict them winning @27 games with their athleticism and young legs, especially against the opposition on back-to-backs. They’ll finish @the #4 lottery slot. They need a 3 ‘n D SF.

  4. this podcast is a r/NBA thread come to life lmao. thank god Mike was the rational voice in the room. the facial expression when dude said the wizards werent gonna be a bottom 5 team was priceless
