the Bucks coach is considering limiting Giannis' minutes. I think Leonard has been over played in this playoffs.
i think the Bucks starting Brogdon is a good move.

Sports leagues make money by monetizing ratings, selling tickets, and selling swag. Most those things don't do any of that. Sure it might get Trump re-elected, but he doesn't have shareholders, he's just getting personal satisfaction out of it. I'm not sure Adam Silver's personal happiness is good for the NBA, just like when Elon Musk smoked a joint that was pretty bad for Tesla shareholders. That is what emphasizing free agency in the NBA is: Adam Silver smoking a joint. | ||

Why can't it be bad? If the thing keeping you in the news turns off fans during the season its a negative. Better to be forgotten for six months than have a 6 month off-season that generates antipathy and a lack of enthusiasm for the regular season in the average fan. And that's what "player empowerment" does. AD's saltiness would have tanked the Pelicans gate if they hadn't gotten Zion (plus I'm sure ratings and gate tanked last season for them). Is Kyrie more or less popular now than 3 years ago? What is the NBA free agency move that increased season ticket sales for both teams? NASCAR could certainly get attention on First Take if all the drivers acted like wierdos in the Capital of Pan-Em off the track, but I'm extremely skeptical that would gain them fans at the track. | ||

Polite Toronto After the game 5 win party-goers from Maple Leaf Square headed to 1 of the busiest intersections in the city. It has a "scramble walk" mode where all lights are red for all car traffic so pedestrians can cross in any direction they want even going diagonally across the intersection. The Party Animals waited for "scramble walk" mode before jumping into the middle of the intersection with flags and banners waving and chanting. Then when "scramble mode" turned off... they went back to the side walk. This went on for about an hour. Only in Toronto. No Hockey Riots here.

Indeed, its a problem NBA superfans have which is equating Twitter/Reddit/1st Take popularity with actual viewers. How much money does the NBA make from all those things and related buzz combined? $0. The same amount of money that the NFL makes from Kaepernick discussion. The same amount Donald Trump makes when the Post and Times write articles about him. Sports leagues make money by monetizing ratings, selling tickets, and selling swag.

Trump's election, pot legalization, the Washington Post.... man .. this is a 9/10 post. had you been able to relate this all back to the discovery of the Higg's Boson it woulda been a GOAT post.

This is a bit of an unfair question. Kyrie's biggest weaknesses just got exposed in the Bucks series. 3 years ago he came off a 7 game series win against a 73 win team. | ||

His biggest weakness is that he is an insane person who doesn't take personal ownership of his own bad play and is waffling/backtracking pre-season pledges? Because that's why people don't like him. Dame just had his flaws exposed by the Warriors and no one hates him. Ben Simmons didn't have a great series, Jamal Murray was up and down. Are they disliked, or are people desperately encouraging them to improve? Steph had his weaknesses put on display in 2016, no one turned on him and the Dubs until KD joined them. Melo and Dwight are historical examples. They kinda always were who they were, but no one cared about their laziness and obvious flaws until they started forcing trades and acting like the NBA universe should revolve around their transactions. If they were NFL QBs they'd have retired as beloved Nuggets/Magic greats 3 years ago. | ||

But you are right you want to shine a big ole flashlight on yourself and anything that might be wrong with you or your play, demand a trade! | ||

Toronto was pretty upset with Bosh leaving. The Prez of B-Ball Ops at the time made up some BS about Bosh refusing to play through a very minor injury. At the time Colangelo had some credibility so some people took his claims about Bosh "milking" an injury as possibly true. In other words, Colangelo attempted to fuel fan rage to absolve himself of some of the responsibility of being the Prez of a mediocre team he built.

True, he is rather narcissistic and self absorbed. Many people under 30 are...I've heard this common saying ...40 is the new 30 In some cases i think 25 is the new 12. an NBA title will cover up a lot of flaws. For some insight into the young narcissistic mind I recommend this book. | ||

Right, no one cared when LeBron and KD left in free agency. Well LeBron is a special case because of the decision. And KD was because he joined the super team. But you can leave in FA and not get hate, if you beg your way out while under contract it is guaranteed. | ||
