Super curious how they’re gonna structure the regular season going forward, this 16 game structure has been working well for years
dim kettle
Less pre season games.
dim kettle
I like what they did with the playoff system though. Only one get's a bye week now. I wish there was no bye weeks for any teams in the playoff's but this is more interesting
The expansion Bucs were the worst team ever made. They would've gone 0 for 100 if they could.
proud coyote
actually, yeah
that first bucs team was horrible
looking at the roster
I know ONE player
spurrier
dim kettle
Literally the only thing good on the 76 Bucs were their Jerseys.
honest umbra
nice jerseys are what wake me up in the morning
rustic ore
Quick question cause I’m having a brain fart, intra conference games are NFC/NFC and AFC/AFC while inter conference games are AFC/NFC right?
dim kettle
Yes.
rustic ore
Ty
So my idea for that 17th game could be another inter conference game
Like you know how you have 2 intra conference games each season against teams from the other divisions in your conference that finished with the same standing in their respective divisions that you did in your division?
Something like that
OMG, the Jays actually have someone whose last name is Panik
3 quick outs, Rays on deck for the bottom of the 7th. Still 8-2 Rays
dim kettle
Don't push your luck, kid.
rustic ore
So just going back to that 17th game idea I was having a bit ago
honest umbra
come on molina
you have played 25 more playoff games than the whole padres roster combined
put them away
machado played like 20 of those alone in our ws run lulz
rustic ore
So you know how you face 1 entire division from the AFC and one from the NFC in rotation as well as 2 teams outside of your division but in your conference that finished in the same standings in their respective divisions in the previous season that you did?
So I’d say the simplest solution would be to pick out a team from the opposite conference who finished in the same standings in their division that you did in yours the year prior to be that final game
Or not final but the 17th game I mean
rustic ore
I mean I would too but no reason to risk making guys rusty going into the playoffs, especially since only 1 seeds get the bye week now
dim kettle
The players agreed to it. So it's on them.
simple seal
3 more outs
rustic ore
Someone on Wikipedia already put Tampa into the next round
dim kettle
Well, bye-bye, Buffalo/Toronto.
dim kettle
And just like that, this series ended quickly like the Jays stay at Buffalo.
dim kettle
We never faced NY in the playoffs before surprisingly.
simple seal
YEAH RAYS
dim kettle
I'd prefer the Yanks just for a chance to laugh at my older brother if the Rays somehow beat the Yanks when it matters.
rustic ore
The prospect of potentially knocking a division rival out of the playoffs excites me a bit
dim kettle
The problem is, it seems like the big market teams always get the last laugh 90% of the time. We destroyed them for most of the season. But this is all too good to be true.
rustic ore
Yeah
dim kettle
If the Rays lay an egg on the offensive side of the ball, It's over, no doubt about it.
Although, I'd love to see a city of champions in Tampa.

Yankees and Indians finally is getting going

yea but theyre beating them in a lot of other ways too
dim kettle
This NBA Finals is difficult for me to root for anyone. On one hand, fuck Lebron James. The other hand, As a Magic fan, Fuck the Heat.
honest umbra
what did lebron do to you
dim kettle
No, that's just the bitter Magic fan in me seeing him in a Heat uni for those years.
proud coyote
yea but theyre beating them in a lot of other ways too
I think those other ways are accentuated when they just make every shot
thorn tartan
do you think this is a bad matchup
dim kettle
If anything I'm hoping the Lakers win in 4 in the same fashion as today. So it will show the world how much the East is a joke compared to the West.
honest umbra
i kinda dont want that to be the case lol
i want the east to be equally strong
AD is 100% a bad matchup lol
honest umbra
i mean this happened den vs lal game 1 too
dim kettle
I want the East to be strong too, but when a mediocre Magic team & a beaten down Nets team are playoff teams. There's a problem.
honest umbra
they sat murray and jokic all 4th
heat wil still be competitive
are u a supporter for the best 16 record teams making the playoffs then, siren?
plus that nets team with kd & kyrie, only magic are left as the only true mediocre team there
forest pier
east gonna be strong next year def bro
hot take better than west
actually, idk how the raps gonna do next season
honest umbra
1-8 or 1-15?
forest pier
1-8
honest umbra
5 teams came in the west tryna compete for that last playoff spot
forest pier
1-15 not a question west better lmao
honest umbra
1 came in the east and it was already determined
forest pier
lmao no
dim kettle
That's a very difficult question to answer. I do support 16 teams in the mix though. But I see the diluted talent in the east though so I guess I'm in the middle.
forest pier
ohhhh
honest umbra
in the west, it was blazers suns pelicans etc etc
forest pier
i got what you mean
yeah i’m only saying 1-8
if it’s 1-15 west is better no contest
honest umbra
ah maybe i guess
dim kettle
The problem with the NBA is teams are either mediocre with terrible contracts or tanking for the next big thing. And the draft itself should be like the one in the NFL where you have to be 20 or older to be eligible to be picked by a team. Because, lots of busts as of the last 7 years.
dim kettle
Clown shit. IMO
Most HS basketball players aren't mentally mature enough for the pressure they put on a team, a city they play in.
forest pier
nba teams are already scouting from hs
ik ainge had been looking at tatum for a very long time
but i agree, the nba surrounding culture doesnt seem to healthy for a fresh hs grad
but i also really dislke the ncaa
so i’m torn
dim kettle
Some college football players who are 20 aren't even mature enough to carry the burden. The hell a 18 year gonna feel walking into somewhere like Madison Square Garden and expect to be the next Lebron James. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
Look at the hell Markelle Fultz went through in Philly. He just regained some of his confidence in Orlando.
hollow wind
Nothing is better than a game 1 blowout
dim kettle
Now if the G league was more big and the draft was like the NHL where you're expected to play when you're told you're ready. I wouldn't have a prob with NBA team drafting HS students. But what they're doing now is just stupid.
honest umbra
not sure
forest pier
@dim kettle yo i like that idea, give the players some development before they’re ready to play
a lot of rookies get written off and then blossom later on
simply they’re just not in the right environment to suceed if they can’t see the floor bc they’re behind a couple stars on a contender
that’s what i really like about the raps g league dev, they’ve managed to produce some great talent there
dim kettle
I've been begging the NBA to go to the system the NHL & MLB do. They did somewhat. But there's not enough G league teams and that's a problem. More NBA teams would be in a better place if they developed and matured more of their prospects in a minor league. But you're expected to make an impact immediately. And that results in a lot more Kwame Browns and less Lebron James.

And still jerking off the clippers who chocked 3-1 against the nuggets
haughty moss
Gonna be interesting to see how long it lasts this time
rustic ore
Well the season they had in February was actually doing pretty good before they had to close up shop due to COVID. I’m thinking with Rock as the face now they could make some noise when they come back.
haughty moss
It was decent but it's about sustainability. Eyes will always be there first few weeks since it's different, and refreshing, but the play dictates whether they'll continue to stay tuned.
rustic ore
I honestly don’t know if I can call tonight’s (shitty) game, both the Broncos and Jets are just so damn bad

So the Steelers-Titans game that was scheduled for this Sunday has been postponed because of some Titans players/personal getting Covid apparently
So now what’s being talked about is moving that game to Week 7 when the Titans were initially scheduled to have their bye, the Steelers game that was initially scheduled to be played against the Ravens Week 7 be moved to Week 8 when the Steelers and Ravens were both initially scheduled to have their bye weeks, and the Ravens bye being changed from Week 8 to Week 7

doc rivers is a great coach, people are down on him atm
winged sparrow
you ever just wonder through the nba
and then realise that Doc Rivers has blown a 3-1 lead in 3 different decades?
dim kettle
Man, do NBA teams still think this dude is a champion HC. Look at dem NBA championships he won 12 years ago. Let's not mention the fact that he had all the talent in LA and couldn't make it past the second round. IDK, I feel like Rivers is going down the same route Dwane Casey is in Detroit. Not that bad, but I don't see anything changing in Philly.

I mean we go back even further, This is the same guy who blocked the deal involving Tim Duncan going to the Magic.

Ngl, that was actually a really nice TD run by Darnold
Did his best Deshaun Watson impression there
dim kettle
They should name this game The Fired Bowl Adam Gase’s job vs John Elway’s job.
I know Elway won’t get fired but he should
rustic ore
Dude all over the Broncos SBnation fan site they’re asking for already to get canned
dim kettle
And justified. They say injuries expose the lack of depth a team has. Elway only fame was getting lucky with Peyton Manning.
rustic ore
Now there is a possibility they might have to cut Von Miller in the offseason because of the contract extension he gave him after he won SB MVP
rustic ore
Yeah he got slammed hard
Darnold is leaving the field now

You know, Darnold getting injured sums up Jet fans perfectly. Nothing but severe pain.
At least they have the Knic- Oh wait.

At least his collarbone isn't fucked.
He's already playing with a injury. Having to be coached by Crackhead Gase.
dim kettle
Geez seeing this game makes me appreciate how much better the Bucs are than the Jets against these Broncos.
rustic ore
Mind you Tampa has a significantly better O-line, weapons, coaches, and QB than NY but still
Oh and defense of course
dim kettle
Exactly.
Both teams are lucky to get a single win this year. Jets more especially. This is 09 Rams levels of bad right now.
rustic ore
Yikes, another foul on NY
Gase’s ass HAS to be gone after this game, regardless of result
dim kettle
He shouldn't have been hired to begin with. The Johnsons are such clowns.
I'm not a Jet fan. But to see Darnold treated the way he has really gets me.

What the hell was he throwing too? You know your teammates are wearing white, right?

Quick question. Does raising a child to be a Jet fan considered child abuse?

Only Colin Cowherd can be clown enough to think Gase was a quality coach till now.

I want the NFL to ditch that dumbass 1 helmet rule so we can finally have our creamsicle throwback games back
Those were so fucking good
dim kettle
Hopefully it goes away soon. I'd like to see the Pat the Patriot jerseys again as well. Although, if they get rid of the rule. I'm so paying 150 dollars to get a creamsicle Mike Evans jersey.
And the Jets retake the lead because of course they would.

Lol, even when the Jets do something right like get a sack they fuck up by getting a face mask
dim kettle
Welcome to the buttfumble.

Damn, this Patrick dude for the Broncos is nice with it, over 110 yards and a TD

My optimism went out of the window a long time ago. Even with Brady I always feel like we'll lose to teams like Chargers and Bears every year.

It’s a Bucs life 
Still though, Chargers are banged up to hell and I’m not particularly scared of BDN and the Bears

Question remains when they finally pull the trigger on Gase
dim kettle
They better do it tomorrow. Or the Johnsons really want the Jets to go 1-15 or even 0-16
rustic ore
The only way the Jets could possibly have a turn around is if they fire Gase, let Douglas pick his own HC, and then give them time to actually rebuild the roster
They have 4 1st round picks the next 2 years
dim kettle
It all depends how well they do in those picks. But knowing the Jets draft history. I have my doubts.
rustic ore
I honestly thought they had a decent draft this year
Becton is gonna be a monster, Mims was one of my fav WR prospects coming out, and that decision to draft that Safety from Cal looks a lot smarter now after the Adams trade
dim kettle
A guess a broken clock is right twice a day. Something tells me they'll draft defensive players with high picks and the Jets will not learn anything.
rustic ore
Yeah they really just need to square away their O-line
If they get that Sewell guy out of Oregon then the Jets legit might have the best Tackle duo in the league for the next decade
dim kettle
I can't judge Denzel Mims yet because he's been hurt. But the Jets need receiver help so much. Probably one of the worst WR cores in the NFL.
rustic ore
True
Chase would be nasty, but all the weapons in the world ain’t gonna mean much if your QB does t have time to throw

Lots & Lots of problems with this team. IDK how they can win a game or two this year.

yea stop TALKING /s
actually listen to the podcast with kyrie & kd btw
not just the headlines
its a diff story than the one medias putting out
he puts respect out there for lebron, nash, kd etc
and even says the media will twist his words
kyrie can have some complex opinions but he gets wronged by the sports media far too often
hollow wind
I disagree
Even if he says something nice about Nash or Lebron, the media isn’t twisting the “finally have someone he can trust to take the last shot”
Like that’s clearly including Lebron
He does have a serious ego problem, and many of his teammates have said that as well
honest umbra
but
did you listen to the podcast
or the context of anything within the podcast
it was 2 hours and 20 mins
we are taking a 5 sec line from it

I just don’t really like him, so I guess I’m biased
But a lot of his comments rub me the wrong way, highlighted by the media or not
Many of his former teammates said he destroys chemistry
And shit like this isn’t going to help him
honest umbra
none of them said it, it is just insinuated
hes made some dumb decisions like leaving CLE to be the man
and then getting into some petty stuff with the celtics
but hes a baller whos never been afraid to speak his mind

idk how hes different from embiid or dame doing the same thing

him and kd were executed by the media a few years ago for different reasons
they know how stuff can go
so im glad theyre gonna team up to shut the league up

cannoy disagree with you lol
soccer is the definition of rich boys club
in regard to pro leagues
honest umbra
they even talk more about that on the podcast too

To me, Kyrie comes off as pretentious, Dame comes off as confident
honest umbra
ive never known kyrie to never back his word up either
so dont say "dame can back it up"
kyries cleveland teams were quite literally horseshit and yes he needed lebron to get there but once he did, he performed
hollow wind
But when he left?
honest umbra
and then dropped 50 on his nets debut plastered with injuries
honest umbra
and say what u want about kemba being a "team player"
but on god, kemba was awful in the postseason. kyrie would have shown him up
the problem with the celtics scenario is nobody thought tatum was going to turn into that man
hollow wind
Yeh
honest umbra
and rightfully so, tatum did because hes amazing
idk im defending kyrie a bit too much
i just think he gets wrong done by the media
hollow wind
Fair enough man
honest umbra
look at his philanthropic stuff in the offseason
he lives up to his word
and THAT stuff is never covered by the media
thats all im gonna say

Who you guys got winning the fmvp

Miami loses

AD will at this rate
if he keeps having games like that
he deserves it over lebron

You guys think davis will be staying in the lakers after finals?
rustic ore
Of course he will
proud coyote
why would he leave?
rustic ore
If you make it big in cities like LA or NY you’re set for life
proud coyote
they're just going to give him a supermax
grim crystal
why ad for this game specifically?
lebron scored 33/9/9 today + no turnovers
at least as good as ad game
rustic ore
For his brand it makes 0 sense to leave LA, especially if/when they win the title
grim crystal
also he can take over from lebron without so much pressure as they would have already won
dim kettle
You got to sign AD for the long run. Lebron isn't gonna be in LA forever.
proud coyote
why ad for this game specifically?
I mean, AD played excellent this game too
and the game before
15/20 shooting lol
rustic ore
Is Finals MVP based on how well you did in the actual championship series or throughout the playoffs?
proud coyote
Just the finals
rustic ore
Ah
proud coyote
both are AD though
rustic ore
Yeah then I think the edge has to go to AD then
proud coyote
Lebron could hypothetically overtake him
sweet tree
yeah ad first game and this
proud coyote
but as of right now I think it's AD
dim kettle
Yeah, it's not like the conn smythe trophy in the NHL. Only the MVP through the Finals
rustic ore
At best this game was a push by both, but you can’t argue that AD had a better Game 1 than LeBron did
static quiver
Imagine rondo dwight and lebron in their prime and team up
rustic ore
Cause he did
dim kettle
Imagine rondo dwight and lebron in their prime and team up
I don't think a prime Dwight Howard would suite well with Lebron.
lol
rustic ore
Yeah no, prime Dwight was like AD a bit. He’s a big who would get the ball regularly
dim kettle
I meant attitude wise.
rustic ore
Hey, if LeBron could handle Kyrie he could’ve handled prime Dwight just fine
dim kettle
I hate to say it as a Magic fan who became a Magic fan because of him. But Prime Dwight Howard was fucking cancer.
rustic ore
He was
I too am a Magic’s fan cause of Dwight
Also cause I live in FL and they’re close to me than the Heat are
dim kettle
When Dwight was traded. I questioned if I was a Dwight fan or a Magic fan. Really haven't been the biggest Magic fan since.
Mostly Because the Bolts are on at the same time.
IDK, I'm happy for Dwight for his NBA title he'll get in a few days, but also very bitter.
honest umbra
ad will win finals mvp
and deservedly so, hes been king these playoffs
but lebrons been sneakily having an amazing playoffs too
he kind of dwindled a little bit in denver and i gave him crap for it
but he has recovered brilliantly
lakers will 100% offer AD a supermax and we should have him for the next 4 years
i dont see why hed win a title and decide to go to chicago (for homecoming purposes) to only be granted with a worse team than the pelicans and suffer another 8 years of not doing anything substantial in the playoffs

lebron was better game 2
lebron just looked a bit worse since all his passing was wasted by kcp and green's terrible performance

Cowboys D is shit. That's all I needed to know. lol
honest umbra
yes yes
but this is more on their offense
isnt it?
they have given the ball away 3 times in really good positions to CLE

Yeah, right now. I picked the browns mainly because I was expecting the Cowboys D to prolapse on the football field. Seems like the offense is doing that instead.

No Alisson, Henderson, or Mane....thank god our starting 11 aren't losing this bad but nonetheless

- Villa good
- Adrian shit
- Defense and Mid both awful this match
- Trent has not found his form this season yet and that's frightening
- We weren't at our ideal starting 11, so I'm not as mad as I could be, but we need Henderson back asap. The leadership isn't there
I will say though
