The Great Illusion: Reggie Theus and the Myth of the NPBSL Alpha
Was absolute comedy!
Maybe you had to be following the discord chat about the NBA Eastern Conference Finals to appreciate it, but I was, and this article was a beautiful love child of all that chatter.
The All Star MVP made it even ...

I'm gonna go with Moses Malone
If you take a look at that Warriors roster, they have absolutely No Depth
And still came within a game of having the best record in the league.
Top 5 in the league in scoring and rebounding.
Only other player with those numbers is McHale, but with all the help McHale ...

10 points

Bulls send:
1983 Bulls 1st round pick (#4)

This was the trade that worked Perfectly for two teams headed towards polar opposites!

@logpmess is the coach of the year.
He made one adjustment after another and gets the most out a each position.

I nominate @IamQuailman
It was a slow methodical process that took a few seasons, but he stayed the course and built a beast.

I'm taking Moncrief to go off.
It looks like Paxson is a nice compliment, but I think when the games get tighter he fades and more falls on Moncrief.
My unexpected performance will be David Corzine who will reach back into some muscle memory and pull major boards which will swing a game.
And my ...

I would bet Barkley jumps to 3rd and Stockton falls, maybe a long way.
It certainly opens the door for a team needing a floor general, like the Kings or Blazers to trade into the top 5 and lock him in for the long term.
What doesn't make a ton of sense is the Hawks or Mavericks to select him after ...

I'm just gonna say some things that I said before, because they fit here:
Gonna shout out Seattle one mo gain.
They lost DJ for the rest of the regular season.
He'll be available for the first round, probably a full go around game 2.
I don't think they need him though.
They're going to get the Lake ...

What about the matchup favors the lower seed?
Will it come down to matchups, or game planning?

I'm gonna take the Lakers because it seems like a tall order.
LTS pulled off the trade that none of us could make happen, and followed with a couple of underwhelming signings that didn't solve his problems.
He has way too many guards, many undersized, and James Donaldson, whom I love, but is awfully ...

The race for the top is where my money is, and I think that's a good sign for the league.

It did catch me by surprise when teams began tanking in 82 and trying to harvest for 84.
I never entertained the option to follow that trend, and now I'm glad I didn't.
Most of the teams that sold off early ...
