Why are you praising John Hollinger for such lazy, derogatory wordplay, Marc? Trislumvirate, really?!!?! You think that’s worthy of a hat tip?

You clearly don't and I hear you.

Thanks for responding. Tribumvirate works, too, and I think it's better, IMHO.

I took it as a reference to the metaphorical mess of three teams being a combined 3-33. Your perspective is one I should have considered.

Soon to be 3-34! As a Pacers fan, I'm just glad they're facing adversity when everyone is saying it's a generational draft class.

And after they reacquired that first-round pick in June.

The “Leastern Conference” thing is pretty played-out, too.

Think I've been using that since my first season on the ESPN Power Rankings in 2002-03. Don't think I can't quit that one.
