Cade missed a single contested layup at the end and now he’s complete trash and his future is a question mark? Yes, he missed a bunch of wide open shots earlier but if makes that one bucket at the end, none of you are questioning him. I get emotions are high but dogging one of the top 10 seasons by a player in Pistons history all over a single play is ****ing stupid. You are all better than that.

I was at the one one Middlebelt which is technically Farmington Hills. It’s a couple miles away from the one on 5 mile.

I drove by there yesterday on my way to sliders at Bates on Middlebelt.

This reminds me of a sushi restaurant that I used to frequent when I lived in California. Great, great location with ample tourist and local foot traffic. They were successful for the first few years and then it slowed down to the point that they went out of business. A few months later, a different owner started another sushi restaurant in the same space. They made no changes to the inside except a new name on the front and a fresh coat of paint. The quality of fish was the same, and the menu had only minor differences. The only significant change was in leadership and management. The owner of the new restaurant was exuberantly friendly. Same with the sushi chefs, bussers, hosts, and everyone on staff. They would happily give out free carafes of their low end sake but it made everyone feel like they were regular. They did a great job of remembering the faces that came in and making people feel special and at home. It wasn’t long before there was an hour wait on most nights. Flash forward a decade, the restaurant is still packed. There’s not as much of a wait as they bought a struggling Korean BBQ restaurant a few doors down and put their brand on it and installed a sushi counter at that location. They also expanded with 3 or 4 other locations within a 30 minute drive of the main restaurant.

+ is the underdog - the number is what you’d win if you bet $100 A $10 bet on +240 underdog would pay $24 + your original $10 bet - is the favorite - the number you’d have to bet to win $100 a $10 bet on a -240 favorite would pay $4.17 + your original $10 bet.

I guess maybe it can be. I didn’t realize the league minimum has skyrocketed to $830k and set to go over $900k by 2027. It was $650k in 2020

That can not be correct.

Brunson and Hart both got banged up at the end. Hopefully, they’ll still be feeling the effects on Thursday. Hindsight, I’m not sure what Thibs could do there. He only had 1 timeout. That itself came back to bite them on the last play. Don’t think anyone would imagine that a game with that many fouls called would go 2 and a half minutes without a whistle.

It was Halliburton’s dad.

Pacers do it again. This comeback was crazy even for them.

This is such an overstep of the Federal government on individual state & local rights. It’s an even bigger overstep of the Executive branch of government over the Legislative.

Here’s a link to their early 2025 draft for comparison. They had some massive misses but it looks like they correctly picked 11 players that ended in the first round. Not great but not horrible either. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-way-too-early-2025-nfl-mock-draft-james-pearce-jr-panthers

Trump doesn’t concede elections. He either wins or says it was fixed. Sure it seems ridiculous, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see him start the rhetoric of an unjust liberal fixed election to begin a hostile military takeover of Canada.

Pat Riley is rolling over in his grave.

Deplore both teams but this collaboration is my favorite City Connects.

These kids should be sent to CECOT

Mike Morse’s mom and The Bernsteins may have something to say about that.

The difficulty is the rule is below normal shoulder height. If a player is bent over it could be above their shoulders and still be ok. The Fiala goal is an example as he was crouched down and it was played above the shoulder but wouldn’t have been had he been at normal height. Perry isn’t crouching and is at normal shoulder height. The puck is clearly hit above his shoulder and should’ve been called.

For clicks and online engagement, of course. As discussed every year, the entire concept is just creative marketing for a museum about rock & roll. It’s not the same as the sports halls. How in the word does Salt N Pepa make it in? I’m not even talking about have a rap group in a rock museum. They are so far down the list of accomplished rap artists. I could name 50 that are more deserving.

LA is the best home ice team in the league at 31-6-4. They will have to exorcise its demons past and present and find two more wins at home. It just doesn’t seem possible with the way they have failed to close this series. Oilers with an unbelievable 11-5 advantage in the 3rd period. How you give up 11 goals in the final period over only 4 games is unbelievable. That doesn’t count the overtime winner last night.

Omg. Jim Hiller!! Corey Perry hits the puck with a high stick over his shoulders but under the cross bar. Normally a good goal if it’s straight in but he hit it again with his stick to make it go in. That means the initial touch was a high stick and play should stop. Refs dont call it and gun shy Hiller doesn’t use the challenge.

What do the Lakers run? Hahhaa. Cmon Mike Breen. It’s Luka iso like the entire rest of the game.

LeBron is too good to just run a Luka iso offense. JJ needs to figure out how to get the best out both of them.

This is an egregious error that directly impacts the game and the series. David Guthrie and his crew should not be allowed to officiate the playoffs after their assignments are done this round. Will be very telling if the NBA ignores it and allows them to continue on in the playoffs. I expect that not only will they remain but the league will give them a finals game for helping get the result they wanted.

We all know what would’ve happened had the same play occurred but instead was Josh Hart shooting and THJ defending at MSG.
