Quality analysis from Ric Bucher
Lamrock wrote:The NBA continues to court the younger crowd with pop culture integration and left-wing politics. I have no problem with this, but the league will never match the popularity of the NFL with this approach. The NFL offers meaningful regular season games, several position groups which are all vital to a team's success, and plenty of opportunities for upsets (without it being a crapshoot in the playoffs like hockey or baseball). People can point to the head injuries and other political controversies as a sign the NFL's days are numbered, but as an American I can tell you that they aren't. Even as a left-leaning person like myself, I still watch football, because I rationalize it the same way I rationalize eating meat or shopping on Amazon. Being the woke league doesn't change the fact that many fans will just look at the box score to see how the ridiculous 153-138 game went, and frankly miss nothing.

AROUND THE LEAGUE
Warriors On Pace for 70+ Wins, Cousins Literally an MVP Candidate
What the fuck.
Tyson Chandler Waived by Sonics, Signs With Lakers, Tears Achilles
Pour one out for Chandler. He had a great career.
Jimmy Butler, Justin Patton, Luol Deng to Sixers for Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Wilson Chandler, 2022 second
Bayless would have been in this trade, but they already swapped him for Roberson
Pistons fire Dwane Casey, replace him with Michael Stauffer
The Pistons got off to a rough start, but replacing Casey with the guy who does the 2K ratings?!
Heat traded Waiters and Olynyk to Mavericks for Matthews, Barea
Heat offload their worst contracts to Mavs for expirings. Nice.
