Draymond is hilarious and produces outrage at a rate higher than prime Skip Bayless.

Vince Carter is completely chill and universally loved, you need that balance.

yeah draymond sucks. he's like pat bev tier when he had his 15 minutes of morning show fame

I think everyone except Ernie will probably be back wherever Inside ends up being

I did really like when they had KG and Chris Webber. They were actually pretty funny.

Webber was excellent and think he would improve the show even as fifth member .
I felt KG was very reliant on Barkley butting heads with him to be entertaining.

That's probably true about KG, but the interactions were great and the chemistry was there.

There's a reason why Undisputed sucks now, and that was because people were there to see Shannon.

Also is kinda crazy to see how quickly Draymond has fallen, his inclusion throughout 2020-2021 was very well received at the time.
I remember being confused at the time coz I thought he sucked, good to see people have caught up.

draymond is articulate, witty, and knowledgeable, so it's truly disappointing he has decided to use his airtime to be an asshole

shaq is awful too, would've loved for him to get dropped in the next iteration should it return

Man the Pacers just don't want to win one.

you wasted the Nembhard game

who'd have ever thought there'd be a Nembhard game

Hey he was pretty good earlier int he season when he was starting for haliburton

maybe boston loses the next one "on purpose" so they don't have too much rest

but what if both teams sweep

Seems likely.

It really is going to be an all time debate before the finals on if its better to play 3 hard fought series against good to great teams vs playing 3 teams that wouldnt have won a single series in the other conference.

Good game until the 5 minute mark there. Very tidy 3 point shooting from Dallas.

Has there ever been two sweeps in the conference finals before

Nope, came close last year until Boston decided to try the 0-3 comeback and choked in glorious fashion in Game 7

off the top of my head the closest I can think of is 2015, which was a sweep and a 5 game series

Looks like it happened in... 1957, but the conference finals were best of 5 at the time. So we've never had two 4-0's

oh, watch Boston choke this series away someone. I'd almost welcome it to keep the Kyrie circus from coming to town.

So are we back on the "should Minnesota move on from KAT" topic yet?

No. Getting their asses handed to them by this Dallas team doesn't erase what they did to the defending champs.

This Dallas team clicking like this I would not be surprised if they sweep Boston

If KAT had merely been mediocre so far, Minnesota wins at least one of these games. He's been bad and doing the things that make people question how good he can really be.

it won't happen with either team but I'd give better odds to Minnesota, despite game 4 being in Dallas

they should have won at least one of these games. they're a year ahead and they probably shouldn't have beaten denver. but they certainly have more weapons than Indiana at this point

maybe it's time for 29yo kat to discover what okc discovered with harden at 22

A glorious day for baseball with Angel Hernandez retiring

I've never seen baseball fans in so much unison before.

it is being reported (speculated? Who knows) that the suns are actually considering bronny in the 1st rd for the purpose of luring lebron.

they have like no picks for five years, why would you do this

See, the reason they have no picks for five years is because they are incompetent.

The real funny report is Bronny refusing to work out for any teams other than the Suns and Lakers.

Isn't the Suns GM the guy who said that no one in the world has unlocked Durant's "true potential" and he strongly believes he can be the one to do it

How does that guy even still have a job when he's that detached from reality

I don't know how the Suns could get rid of Sarver and somehow not seem to upgrade at owner

Remember he also said, like, a couple weeks ago that 26 GMs would trade everything they have to be in the Suns' current position.

He's better than Sarver but it's a very low bar

I mean he's less morally detestable but in terms of basketball acumen he might be even

Its not a great option but LeBron as a point forward is at least a answer to the Suns biggest problem.

but this guy literally was pirating a nba stream hes gonna take the max

I mean for me it's also about how do you even get lebron? You don't have the cap space even if you by some miracle dump beal or trade durant or booker, so how we doing this? You'd have to find a team that has the cap space to take on durant or booker in the first place, and what team has that room that would want either of those guys for what you'd have to give up? That team probably sucks so what is the plan there?

nothing about this makes sense

That team probably sucks so what is the plan there? And then if you do somehow accomplish both of those things, is your team really any better than it was this year? Then you're stuck with a big two of lebron and durant/booker, with a bunch of not scrubs but not world beaters either. That's not good enough.

nothing about this makes sense, and it reeks of the suns trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. This was doomed from the start.

it is literally pray that he will do the vet minimum to play with his son, and that just seems kinda dumb
