YES! What I know is that I am on a horrendous streak of making at least one major mistake in every story lately and not catching it. ESPCIALLY when you work on a story at 1 AM. Good catch!
Which pick will have the league holding its breath besides #1? That would be #8. The Spurs only have a 6% chance at the top spot, but when that 8th envelope flips and San Antonio’s logo doesn’t show up, that’s when every other fanbase panics. Nobody wants 10–15 years of Flagg and Wemby.
Hard not to see parallels to the 2007 Warriors or 2011 Mavs in how road teams are stealing momentum early. What’s wild is how often it’s coaching decisions, as much as just shot-making, swinging these outcomes.
However, it feels like we’ve entered a new playoff era where home-court advantage, coaching pedigree, and seeding all take a back seat to momentum, matchups, and closing execution. Pacers and Nuggets flipping scripts like it’s normal says a lot about the current landscape.
0:57 left and Cavs up 7 seemed like a good time to head to the kitchen to make a snack. Came back and wondered why Indy was celebrating!
Change the teams with OKC and Denver, and I have the exact same experience (minus the snack).
"Utah's Cooper Flagg"? Do you know something we don't, Steiny Mo?
