One player can skew this. Jordan won the scoring title 10 times from 1987 to 98. The only two years in that time he did not win it was the two he played baseball.

The Pacers are locked in at #5 and that means the furthest they can fall is to #9. So for the first time since 1989 the Pacers will draft in the top 9. They picked George McCloud #7 in 1989.

Sounds like the starters will play for Philly. A win (and a Boston loss I think) keeps them from playing Toronto. Maxey is not vaccinated so avoiding Toronto might be big. Plus they pretty much have a week off after this game. What does a tie with OKC mean? I think I read it drops our #1 pick odds from 14.5% to 12.5%.

Interesting strategy from Williams.

Sucks for Max he had to retire. But I don't think he had a shot at Charles today. He was constantly 5-7 seconds back.

Hang another flag in Maranello!

Charles might be in some trouble. Hopefully Sainz can move up and at least be a factor in pit strategy.

Do we have an empty roster slot? Because we should be doing deals like this if we do.

Embiid is the first C since Moses Malone in 1982 to average 30+ ppg.

Purchase $3B worth of stock in a company. Then use that same companies platform to trash it.

Don't worry. He will continue to update his past mock drafts for years to come.

Wow

Watching last night was sort of odd. I know the NBA and others shut down first. But for some reason I associate them cancelling the Australian GP to be the start of Covid.

So we are one game up with one left. Worst case scenario we tie for third. OKC plays LAC and the Clips have nothing to play for, they are locked into their playin game already. We play Philly tomorrow and they will have something to play for, no matter if they win or lose today. They will either be looking to hold off Toronto or catch Boston. Boston, Toronto, and our game are all at 7PM.

OKC played 6 guys tonight. Here are their season minute totals: Hoard - 194 minutes Kalaitzakis - 118 minutes Roby - 930 minutes Simpson - 129 minutes Krejci - 650 minutes Frazier - 76

I don't think the Feds lose very often. So those two guys took a plea deal to testify against these guys. And only the guys who took a "deal" got punished. What a shit show. 2 men acquitted in alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; jury deadlocks on other 2

I think I would want to pass in zone 1. Then use zone 2 to build a lead larger than 1 second. Zones 3 and 4 wont even be activated for the car following if you can do that. I would be staying up tonight and tomorrow. But I am usually up at this time anyway.

Mitchell is the one they should trade.

Will Smith received a ten year ban from the same people that gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation.

Wonder if he will be back in time for the playoffs...

My award list. MVP - Jokic but Embiid and Giannis are fine here as well. DPOY - Bam. It should have been Bam last year. But voters are stuck in 1997 where they think rim protection is still king. But when teams take 30, 40, 50 three pointers a game, guess where your best defender should be? Bam switches better than any big in the league while still offering adequate rim protection. The knock against him is only playing in about 55 games. MIP - Dejounte Murray. Could probably put 5 or 6 other players in here without much argument. COY - Monty Williams. Another award where you could have multiple guys. Finch, Kidd, Bickerstaff, Spoelstra, Jenkins. Ty Lue didn't have PG13 or Leonard all year and still made the playin game. 6th Man - Herro. He is the only choice here. ROY - Mobley. But I am seeing a lot of media people pick Barnes. So don't be shocked if he wins. Cade will have to make do with being a permanent fixture on the All-NBA team for the next 12-15 years.

Sounds like Jaylen Brown is unvaccinated. That will be an issue if they have to play Toronto in the playoffs.

I imagine if you did a study you would find American players bust at the same rate as foreign players. Also, arguably the four best players in the league today are foreign born players. Luka, Giannis, Jokic, and Embiid.

Oof.
