I know Milwaukee just got throttled at home by Boston. The Committee (of One) simply couldn't have any other team atop the season's final rankings compilation when we think the Bucks are the best team
Is there a way to watch the playoff without a tv carrier? I wasn’t using Dish, so I dropped it. Is there a way to pay-per-view individual games? Or cant do w/o TNT and ESPN?
I genuinely don't know for sure but instinct tells me you have to have TNT and ESPN. I'm so stubbornly old school that -- no laughing please -- I still have DirecTV.
I’m not sure that Jalen Brunson has gotten enough coverage of his play in a season where he essentially turned around a dead franchise. Yes, the team made the playoffs the season before last but that was a Covid-empty-arena oddity. Brunson has brought life back to the city and is not only having an excellent statistical season himself but has made other players better.
The Knicks, dare I say it have a bright future. When was the last time that could be said, 1988? The Knicks now have their leader. Their PG. Their clutch shooter. And he’s only 26. I’m not sure why Dallas didn’t pay the man (Dallas is going to have to pay big dollars to keep his “replacement.”). As a Knick fan, I don’t know why they didn’t pay Jalen but I am thrilled.
Where I live, in Dallas, talk about how good Brunson has been is actually quite frequent. Amazing season for No. 11. He's gotten better for the fifth year in a row. I thought the NYC stage might have made for a tougher adjustment. Nope.
Good piece. I agree overreacting to the 40pt win is silly, however it feels like the media in general flocks towards the “easy” pick with Giannis and the Bucks. This Celtics core has serious playoff experience, leads the league in Point Differential, best Net rating since the All Star Break (and this was the rough stretch of their season). I have great respect for the Bucks, but I’m excited for this C’s team to wake everyone up again come playoff time
The top three teams in the East, on their day, have looked like the best team out there. Here's hoping the postseason lives up to the considerable potential it has.
Sorry this has nothing to do with the rankings, but saw this article about a BlackBerry Keyboard gadget and thought you should know.

Love the name LA Derby

Suns and Lakers feel like a reach but rest seems right.
I feel like having the Lakers at No. 12 is restrained compared to some of the reactions to their improved play out there.
Nick Wright (who, to be fair, is openly playing a wrestling character)has them winning the whole damn thing.
Nick is a great TV opinionist. I was indeed referring to him and my guy Chris Mannix, who also has the Lakers winning the West.
Chris Mannix is also great. His Boxing podcast is one of the better ones
I’m a big fan of Lebatard and his show so anyone adjacent to that is alright by me
Pretty much just follow you so I wouldn't know. Lol
Honored!
Your Sixers gonna win this? Can't let Boston sweep the season series, can they?

It's going to be a fascinating off season with some potential big names available in trade. Lots of buzz on Luka as a key example.
Let's see how many marquee names actually make it to the trade market. Luka, just to be clear, will NOT be one of them.
