Wizards and Jazz got hosed by the lottery. Dallas has a top 4 or better. Unfortunately, so does Philly. And the Spurs continue being the luckiest a-holes on the block.
Holy crap. Dallas got Flagg.

No Internet besides mobile data, so I'm rewatching physical media, and Asa Butterfield doing an American accent was absolutely *doing my head in* because it sounded so familiar. And then I realized that, for whatever oddball reason, he and Jack Quaid sound almost exactly the same. So strange.

So how much can Cleveland give up for Giannis while still having pieces around him, Mobley, and Mitchell?
No way I do that trade if I'm Milwaukee and Mobley isn't a part. Plus he's on a pricey extension starting next year to cancel out some of Giannis' salary. And Mobley seems like he prefers playing the 4.
Mobley/Garland/Wade/whatever picks Cleveland still controls for Giannis, his brother, and the 15th guy on the Bucks roster? Maybe get someone else involved to eat money and take a contract to toss Milwaukee another first? OKC still has a billion.

At this point, Donovan Mitchell is going to have to change his nickname from Spydah to Semifinals.

Denver and OKC out here in the first quarter, seeing all these other rock fights and saying, "Hold my Coors." Two-dollar steak, bowling shoe, etc.

Brief pop-in as I start watching To Live and Die in L.A. to say it has, unequivocally, the WORST cheeseball 80s theme song ever recorded. It's not enough that the song is dated and terrible; it's that the lyrics CLEARLY make it better suited for a comedy about struggling actors in Hollywood, not a goddamned action film! What in the cream cheese fuck, people??

Well, that was a game, at least.
It's also kinda wild to see the 'beautiful game' Warriors going straight-up Riley Knicks rock fight mode. Granted, Butler and Green are the right guys to do that with.
And Jonathan Kuminga picked an interesting time to look like a lottery pick again.

"What's better than that," Pete Davidson? Not having you in my fucking commercials, for one.
LET THE PRODUCTS SELL THEMSELVES
FUCK ADVERTISING COMMERCIAL PSYCHOLOGY
PSYCHOLOGICAL METHODS TO SELL SHOULD BE DESTROOYYYYYYYYYED

For all the flak MPJ takes about his contract, he's a huge reason this even went to OT. OKC just losing composure in the extra period.

This dumbass workforce AI commercial with Paul Stanley and his KISS hair makes me wonder how long that fucking guy has actually been totally fucking bald.

I thought Isaac didn't get nearly enough of what was coming to him in the game, but DAMN if that wasn't a hardcore introduction in the show. Hi, Jeffrey!!
And TV Dina is such an improvement over game Dina.

Ant just had his ankle stepped on. Didn't look great, not particularly serious but wouldn't be shocked if he misses just as much time as Steph.
Or he'll be a 24 year old and come back in the second fucking half.

I like the "fix this now" quote. Which part? Your 30-year-stinkfest? Your evident desire to be the first MLB team to receive Relegation to AAA? Your penny-pinching bullshit? Pissing off your fans just about monthly? Bad drafting aside from getting Skenes (aka the biggest no-brainer since, I dunno, Chipper Jones)? Or just losing 7 in a row? I don't even follow baseball anymore to the extent I used to and I still know the Pirates are one of the worst-run organizations in all of professional sports.

More like no defending champion has fucked around and gakked up 20+ point leads like Boston has.

What the fuck is Jayson Tatum thinking. GET DOWNHILL.

There was a moment of the slo-mo replay on that charge that Shannon took on Spencer where Spencer just tilted in the air on a single axis, like a figurine in a stop-motion animation. Which is fitting, since he looks like a Victorian circus performer who couldn't decide if he should be a strongman or a bare-knuckle brawler and ended up stinking at both.

And Draymond has hit 4 3s in the first quarter and a half. We're living in the Upside Down.

I can't decide if Abby making a crack to the tune of, "Is there a paramilitary organization you people haven't toppled?" before the final fight would be sacrilegious or a welcome bit of levity for that grueling ending.

Good time for an old-school ECW "HOLY SHIT" chant.

Cleveland looking like a strong contender for this year's "the playoffs would've been totally different if X didn't get hurt" team, with X being half the rotation.
Defending champs in that already.
But this series is getting nuts and it's Game 2.

I was thinking about that myself, but it's a little weird that WBD would be shy about it, while Disney just did a film last summer with corpse desecration played for laughs and no one batted an eye.

I'm guessing SA takes Bailey, since they could use another big more than another guard. Or they field some offers for both lottery picks if they can fall back 2 or 3 spots and get a vet along with someone they like.
