Shut up Isiah. Y'all was giving people a clothesline out of mid air Y'all made the "Jordan Rule" to beat him the f*** up in the paint. You didn't just try to play defense, you tried to hurt people Isiah is an idiot. The biggest feather in his cap is being the main guy on the team who held Jordan down in the East for years. Constantly undercutting him as the unquestioned GOAT, which he is, just makes your own resumé look worse.

Okay, so I am trying to create the most volatile team in NBA history in 2k. I want a team where everyone might get thrown out for technicals or fighting in the real world: PG - Gary Payton SG - ? F - Rodman or Metta World Peace F - Rasheed Wallace or Barkley C - Draymond or Laimbeer Bench: Russell Westbrook, Dillion Brooks, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan (he's only there to get thrown out for laughing on the bench). But I need help finding a shooting guard. I guess I could put Westbrook at SG, but I want him backing up Payton. And while Karl Malone has the most technicals in NBA history, he's off the team because f*** Karl Malone. For true SGs, probably Grayson Allen, DeShawn Stevenson or Lance Stephenson Grayson was going to be my reply. That guy is a lightning rod with the most punchable face in sports.

Sometimes I don't know how anyone hits a pitch, I really don't He's got great stuff, but it's just so damn hard to get excited about young pitchers knowing the strain that amazing stuff puts on their arms. TJ is always lurking.

Really hope the Wander Franco speculation isn't true. I'll leave it at that. Couldn't be that bad. *googles* Also, jesus christ I miss searching Twitter for news of the day and getting a quick synopsis and top memes, instead of pages and pages of unfunny memes from doofuses with 40 followers who pay for a check mark to boost their atrocious content and only context clues to what actually happened.

A live look at the Astros playing the Angels this weekend in Houston: The Angels should have cashed out Ohtani, now they just own a losing bet slip. They're 6 games behind a better Seattle team, they're 2-9 since the deadline, qllowing almost 7 runs per game. Giolito has saved them apparently by giving up 15 runs in 15 innings.

The '16-'17 Warriors are a straight up menace in 2K. I created an all-99 super team and even they are barely beating them in an all CPU battle. Mind you, my super team beat the Bad Boy Pistons 170-41. You need the perfect storm of size, athleticism, defense, and scoring to beat the Warriors super team. Like Shaq or Hakeem to get Dray in foul trouble. KG or Duncan to take advantage of a lack of true 4, probably KG to guard a more positionless era given that he was the precursor for it. Then maybe Pippen or Grant Hill to exploit Klay. Maybe a Kidd or Payton type defense and facilitator. And then either outright shooting like Ray Allen or outright scoring like AI.

Waino should have joined the Pujols and Molina retirement squad. He has nothing left this year and if we won even half his losses we’re in WC contention. Waino, in true giving tree fashion, passed up the no-brainer ride off into the sunset with the other franchise pillars just to serve up meatballs in trying to get us a top 5 pick in the MLB draft and securing the future of the franchise. It's beautiful in its own way.

That's a good deal for Hart. When he left New Orleans he was kind of an also-ran headed toward journeyman status. He really found his niche this season and he's a great fit with Thibs. Secured a nice little bag. I think the deal is fair. Ultimately with the PO for this year it is like 5/$90M for a key role player who brings a lot to your team. It is a nice bag for him and a good get for the Knicks who have a lot of players locked down over next few years He was def close to being that guy who stays with a team 2 years and either moves on or is traded (See players like PJ Tucker or Jae Crowder) Yeah, it's not a bad deal for the Knicks. But it's a fantastic deal for Hart vs. where he was last off-season. Thibs had multiple guys playing the role that just Hart can play now. Guarding multiple positions, rebounding, facilitating a bit.

Lorenzen was having a solid year and the Tigers gave him away basically for free. There are too many teams out there who are just plainly incompetent, though it starts with the Pirates and the A's.

Shane McClanahan probably done for the year. The Rays just straight up kill pitchers. The most wide-open season for them to get over the hump, and they won't have the arms to do anything in October. In spring training, they were hoping to get Glasnow back to add to McClanahan, Springs and Rasmussen, and now those three are all out for the year.

I bet and even I'm tired of hearing about sportsbooks opening or doing deals. But hopefully this is nothing but a bad deal in the end for ESPN, Barstool, and Penn.

So the ACC, Atlantic Coast Conference, is gonna try to convince Cal and Stanford to join them. Cal and Stanford. Two teams that play on the Pacific Coast, might play in the ATLANTIC COAST Conference. Goodness gracious, college football is such a dumpster fire. Catholics vs. Convicts was such a seller, wait til you see Lawyers vs. Convicts. Wait a minute...

The white Sox are a tire fire The only win the Angels can get right now is if they fight Tim Anderson.

Remember when the Angels said they weren't gonna trade Ohtani at the Deadline because they wanted to make a playoff push? *looks at the Angels' record since the Trade Deadline* That was hilarious. They just don't know how to build a baseball team at all. You have Ohtani who is an on-base machine, and some pop behind him. Instead of getting him a table-setter to leadoff, they add two guys who had 100+ Ks last year who are incredibly streaky hitters. To add to the team that is already 4 Ks away from being a top 3 strikeout line-up in the majors. They'll catch the Giants too IMO. The Giolito add was solid, but man there's not a ton of sense to add two guys who combined for 30 HRs this year in Coors and think they'll be a big difference-maker when their Achillies heel is the same thing the rest of the team is terrible at too.

Never really been a baseball betting guy, so I haven't bet since March Madness. But Jake Paul by decision is +330, and Nate has a great chin.

Literally no reason to have a fight about a guy standing over you waiting for a call. Jesus christ these guys are soft as can be.
But, still the best landed punch I've seen since Rougned Odor. That one was much better, but Joey Bats took it on the chin I'll give him that.
