Question for you, yfbb. It's sort of off topic, but you mentioning DeRozan's clutch-ness sort of led me down a rabbit hole. Anyway, I know you've been very vocal in your support of DeMar and all he's done in Chicago (can't blame you). What would your thoughts be if he chose to stay in Chicago this summer?
I think I'd lose a little respect for him. In my mind, the greatest players care about winning over everything else. It's not like DeMar hasn't had a great career where he's put up impressive numbers and made a ton of money. Him choosing more money and being the "alpha" of a mediocre team over the chance to compete for a championship or at least a serious playoff run, especially when those things have eluded him so far in his career, would really bring me to question his commitment to winning, and to a greater extent, his commitment to being great.
35 year old star playing 40 minutes a night and 6’0 guard leading the league in clutch points: “i run red lights all the time and nothing bad has happened to me”
Skinny-ass John Collins bullying Vooch last night was great. Grabbing an assistant coach's throat wasn't so great. I guess I don't know if rules are any different regarding confrontations between players and opposing teams' coaches, but that seemed like an immediate rejection to me. And how did Fleming get a technical for trying to keep Collins from attack both himself and his players?
AK is breaking the league 'order'. Caruso should be on the Warriors who would've won this game and a more secure playoff position as a franchise actually trying to be a contender.
AK already has this four game win streak written down for his post season press conference as proof that not making any moves at the deadline was the correct decision.
Well that "cooperation" between the Bears and White Sox in lobbying the legislature for new stadiums lasted all of (checks watch) a week.
The chances of Jerry getting state, county or city funding beyond infrastructure must be diminished even further now that the Bears announced they're building a new stadium and funding it themselves and with the NFL.
Edit: seems they still want public money but it's not clear how much and doesn't seem like it'll be near what the Sox are asking for.
Don't forget, we did a lot of it without Zach, Pat, and Lonzo. When those three guys definitely come back we'll be in the playoffs for real!

Cheaper to be clutch than good indeed.

Bulls so klutch!!! We’re definitely signing team Bron the summer…
Hawks actually took advantage of their own schedule luck, beat the Cavs who were on a back to back and Mitchell+Mobley out #GoHawks #DriveFor9
roster snapshot for Warriors, they have...literally no injury report?

Noooo, what? Nonono
Like why can’t we talk about the bulls being dire coming out of half time? But we get a lonzo update a week.
