I liked the way Mina did her preseason NFL power rankings, where she didnt present every team, she gave the guest 2 options at every spot. I think it's time to do a similar game for Giannis. Since he's being an asshole and definitely leaving.

This wouldn't be my personal choice for a conference final, but we got through it without the Bears or Eagles, which is at least a minor victory

This is the dumbest team in the history of sports. I can't believe the 2025 Pacers were topped and *immediately*

Jon Horst has bad taste, but he's not dumb. Like, he knows Grant and Monk and LaVine etc aren't *really* the movea he needs. They might be buy time moves, but he knows his team needs a true 2nd engine. I have no idea how he's pulling that off. Or how long he can kick the can before that's available

I'm embarrassed again. Fun. Great work everyone.
It's actually a feeling I experience often now, so I'm familiar with it. Go sports.

This works with salaries. This also gets beat. If Grizz need KPJ, I can do that. GTJ. Etc. If they need Rollins I have to walk away. If they need a 1st, better call a team with a 1st. Next: playable wing trade.

Today was probably a Ja performance that did it's job getting closer to being traded. But further from Heat/Bucks. Heat just aren't ever using their assets until *him* (6th year in a row) and Bucks don't have any. BUT it is the type of confirmation that brings a dark horse back into the light.

Sounds like they just need a little of that "get right" Bucks defense. Hang on fellas, help is on the way. Literally. A nonsense switch and then an over help to fix it is on the way. Enjoy your free looks. Caw caw!
Hawks are 1-3 since the Trae trade and McCollum looks terrible. Can’t wait for them to get right and destroy the bucks tomorrow!

Still true
This one is tough because I just love Ja Morant as a player in the league. I'm glad he exists. I like that he wants to detonate on everyone. I like when you can see him play. But his brand of basketball on my team is such an awful fit I would only resent him and that's not fair.

The Bucks are going to be more fun hang after the trade deadline no matter who they do or don't trade. This is no way to exist. Every day the trade economy tax. Knowing this isn't the roster. It might be you. It might not. Could it be. I can't wait for Feb 6.
