Ha! I was one of those Rockets fans getting after ya Trey🤘🏼🚀
Stein: The Hawks say Jalen Johnson has a Grade 2 lateral right ankle sprain.and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.
gambling is a problem for the integrity of the game which is why the punishment is more severe and why there is zero tolerance. remember the tim donaghy scandal?
LUKA MVP
need Brandon Millers dunk last night on the Drop
The Magic are really stumbling down the stretch. They were the 3 seed just a few days ago and now are in danger of falling into the play-in. Part of it is not having Franz Wagner, but you've still gotta beat Charlotte and Houston. Neither of those teams are playing for anything. And then last night, you got to play the Bucks without Giannis and laid a massive dud.
last night, Brother I have 41…as it was written
100k congrats! Loved your pod as always, genuine classic
Legal betting better than illegal? I guess so. But making it legal is not the same as letting it take over advertisment and streams and whatnot.
I just don't understand why everyone is so high on trae young, he is just a high volume shooter, he never had extraordinary splits
Might be the most slept on/disrespected defending champs I can remember in a long time.
My absolute favorite is when you guys review how you did with picks
1 year and 24 days of being sad about the chances of a NO CHAINS disc golf podcast 🙁
Silver also said that it's better to have gambling legalized and regulated — a claim I wholly disagree with, and a sign that the league will not be putting any distance between it and betting sites. I don't know if Silver alone could have resisted having the league go down this road, but it'll always be a black eye on his tenure at best. At least for me…which, lol, does not matter much.
So now the requirements to win MVP is based solely on the first 50 games of the season and ignore the last 32.
Celtics are NOT winning the championship. Just not going to happen.
Trae needs a team built around him. And that’s a team that can somehow be ok with picking up the defensive slack, be out of a shotting rhythm all the time and get no credit when they win.
He’s no where close good enough to have that luxury and I have never understood it. He’s probably a better player than Murray in a vacuum but basketball isn’t played in a vacuum it’s played with 4 other players and they clearly prefer playing with Murray
If u told me okc was gonna be top 3 in this west I would’ve thought u were trolling me..

If players and coaches gamble on their leagues game it should be in contact not to do so and if so they should get fired like any other employee in any job. Sorry but man don’t fuck with your own families wealth
Lol what??? Luka been much better in 1st half of the season, but his team was injured, sometimes (a lot of times) we was without 3-4 starters even! Where did you get this he is surging at the end of the season??? Were you all asleep over the winter like bears???
