I am very protective of my all time favorite non Blazers players list and Butler has officially ascended to number two all time on that list. It’s a big day in the robusk household.

I have a similar list for my all-time favorite non-Rockets, and Butler is quite high on my all-time list.

BTW since we can commiserate on not getting the #1 pick the good news is Wemby could become high on your non-Blaser list, the bad news is had he been the number one pick of Portland he would've probably died on the court after the fourth game and Silver would've made you carry his cap number until the contract expired.

Yeah I was almost relieved the Blazers didn't get him just to save his lower extremities. No idea what they will do with 3. All the Pistons dads at school drop off were pretty sad.

Robusk does PY factor in OT? Like if I lose an ot game by 10 doesn’t it could like almost had no chance of winning?

Ok that’s what I thought but I could never remember if ot was factored in. Imo it shouldn’t be.

Game 11. Here's where the fun begins...

Hopefully Miami will not continue to shoot over 51% from three

Portland will be in a tough spot at the draft. Brandon Miller has some serious red flags and it's a drop off after that.

DH - tough one my friend. I actually feel for Doc. Not sure what he could have done, Embiid looks tired and Harden was M.I.A. again.

better team won in the end...just so frustrating that you guys left the door open for an upset and we choked...again

tatum was unbelievable

Embiid 33 regular season 23 in the playoffs that is a major drop in production. Harden is not the right fit with
Embiid. To think they passed on drafting Tatum ouch.

im telling you fultz was the truth at washington...process days so i was actually watching late night pac10 instead of sixers and he was a totally different player...exact type of guy that embiid and simmons needed to break into the league with...simmons plays his natural 4 instead of thinking hes magic johnson and embiid doesnt become so iso heavy

i cant blame them for going after him

Listening to Mark Jackson on these broadcasts is brutal. Does ESPN think he's good or are they just running out his contract? Love how Jackson compared Jokic to "the guy in the park with a hat on and a cigarette sticking out of his mouth" Fire that chump.

That must by why he didn’t put Jokic in his top five on the MVP ballot.

has he tried to explain this yet?

pitiful...he should have his vote taken away

i do remember a sixers game earlier in the season when he said jokic and embiid were already top 10 centers all time...but jokic isnt top 5 mvp in one of his best seasons? makes no sense

pretty sure this is my first time ever leading in savage

nah...better not jinx it

He said he mixed up the ballots, and thought he was submitting his all-NBA team.
