Yes, there's a middle. Matter of fact, I think the argument for the middle in the US is even stronger than in other places. Like you said, culturally...

I haven't read the study/link you're quoting, but I assume you did, so I'll just ask you: Did it show causality? In other words did the study conclude...

The narrative that a championship can somehow be 'won' by a single player is way overblown. While it became clear these past years that teams winning...

Oh I see; sounds like this Jordan and Dinwiddie thing is just your old "blame it on covid" copout but they could totally play if they wanted...

Legit question as I don't know the NBA protocol on this: If a player tested positive now (like Dinwiddie and Jordan), can't they just isolate for 14 days,...

Kuzma is a soft defender and so is KCP, which actually has a lower D-PIPM than Kuzma. If we continue to explore switches onto those two for Siakam while...

Watson have just finished 2nd in G-league MIP voting for the 2019-2020 season per Blake Murphy. Our team is stacked, so he won't crack the rotation but...
