I think its more of a long term play- and that the writing on the wall is there for LeBron to be gone after this year. They want to start over with Doncic- and when you get that opportunity it was too good to pass up- instead of continuing with a small small chance this year. I think Luka...
Klay Thompson vs. the Cavs today
1/10 from the floor, 0/6 from 3.
Garland is having one of the best shooting years in the league- 50% from the field, 42.4%% from 3, 89% from the line. He has absolutely ripped defenses up- also playing a career low in minutes due to the Cavs depth.
I was laughing my ass off when I saw that trade
there were a lot of people saying "ohh the Cavs will regret this" - "those picks are gonna be gold in a few years"- and then they give them away for PENNIES on the dollar.
puts a BIG FUCKING EXCLAMATION MARK on the Cavs GIGANTIC win in the...
Paul Sewald- Guardians spent 7M on a free agent!!!! lol. wow.
not game changing obviously- but nice to have another solid arm in an already awesome bullpen. I will take it.
I also think- that maybe- just maybe- seeing the price some teams paid for RP at the deadline- something like this, if...
ESPN's "Too Early" 2025 Rankings have 4 Big Ten Teams in the top 6.
Its funny how people though NIL would make CFB more lopsided but it has actually improved parity since none of these guys want to sit and they jump in the portal.
2nd year in a row for a Big Ten Champion. ND and PSU are...
bringing back Downs on defense and Smith on offense is a nice way to start for next season. Gotta find some better corners though if you ask me.
QB should be interesting too. Losing Sawyer and Tuimoloau at DE is gonna hurt as well. Should be poised for another run though if they can get it...
if you were to re-rank- honestly- ND, Texas and Oregon would prob be 2, 3 and 4 or close- maybe PSU in there- no worse than beat 3 of other top 4 teams in the nation to win the title.
gotta give ND credit- they never stopped fighting and made it a game when I thought it was pretty much over after the Buckeyes scored 10 to open the 3rd.
ND deserved to be in title game and showed it.
at the end of the day OSU's talent won out. all of blitz and Howard makes the throw to...
OSU beat #1 Oregon, #3 Penn State, what was Indiana when they beat them? like #9? Tennesee, Texas.....
obviously the playoff lends to this, but the # of really good teams OSU beat this year was ridiculous. Going through Tennesee, Oregon, Texas and ND to win the title is wild- they didnt have...
absolutely. but i can see why a Wizards fan (@tlance) would value a volume scorer that has lost a ton of his effectiveness better than one of the best defensive players and most efficient shooters in the game. Right now Harden is shooting UNDEr 40% from the field and is a poor 3 pt. shooter-...
how much longer do you think Steph plays? Does the team just try its best while Steph is active, and then rebuild once he is gone? Do they try a rebuild while Steph is still there?
I think and hope that Steph stays there his entire career- but it will be tough to get back to contender status...
Anthony Davis and LeBron combine for about 50 pts, 20 rebounds, 12 assists a night, have both been healthy the majority of the time- and the Lakers are 3 games over .500
Not sure how the GM has held on to that job for as long as he has.
