@jasonrmcintyre It’s:
OKC.
Gap
Spurs (could compete w/OKC).
Grand Canyon
Knicks (5/6 game series in finals).
Pacific Ocean
Everyone else.

@jasonrmcintyre Denver is out. Detroit & Boston aren’t championship teams. So that leaves OKC, SA, NY.

Everyone fails to realize how much better and deeper the league is now than 10, 20, 30 years ago
Bottom is bad. Top 16? Never been this good.
Bad individual game L’s here but they were underdogs in 25

Denver since winning the 2023 finals: 2024: Lost in WC semis to Minnesota 2025: Lost in WC semis to OKC 2026: Lost in R1 to a depleted Minnesota team That's three straight years of disappointing exits when I thought they'd for sure be back to the WCF, at least once.

@jasonrmcintyre @Michael_watk Ok, Giannis is a bit behind Joker on Offense advanced metrics. Meanwhile on defense, Giannis is an NBA DPOY while Joker is a D3 benchwarmer.

@Michael_watk ok, let's remove the TEAM results. So strip out title, missed playoffs, first round exists. way too much matters there about the other guys.
let's just look at those 2, advanced individual stats ...
English
Rings as the end-all, be-all without any context shows who has never competed in actual sports or is just reading box scores & trolling
Super team era, expansion era, injuries, lockout, tanking, etc, all of that is why this discussion is nuanced and so many struggle with it
michael watkins@Michael_watk
@jasonrmcintyre “Rings are silly” is peak participation-trophy energy. Nobody grew up dreaming about assist titles, they dreamed about winning it all. Ken's comment wasnt about who's the better player, it was simply about the resume of their careers, and Ken is correct, identical resume.

@jasonrmcintyre @co0pgoesVr00m @hawk_1914 1.5 years off - living in motel 6’s, coach buses, training/playing baseball in high school facilities.
Meanwhile today’s NBA players fly private jets, stay in the penthouse, 1000x better fitness training and can’t manage to play a game for $500k a night.
English
@co0pgoesVr00m @hawk_1914 LOL he quit twice
Or course he was healthy taking 1.5 years off
English
This is such crap.
No Donte, no Ant, and the Wolves have no chance
Aaron Gordon hurt, missed a game
Wemby concussed
Luka hasn't played
Reaves hasn't played
J-Dub got hurt, he's out
Kevin Durant has missed 2 games
Joel Embiid hasn't played

@salingergregor @emssilly Another European that doesn’t grasp the vast size of the USA. Cities can take 2+ hours to drive across, states can take days.
Austria is the size of Indiana. Imagine if Austria had 1 pro team that everyone in the country had to travel to for each match. That’s the USA.

@emssilly can't happen on public transit! (at least as a passenger...)

has anyone told Americans tailgating is not a thing anywhere else? What is even the nice thing about having a bbq and booze in a parking lot??
NYGiantsRush@NYGiantsRush
All you suckers that love FIFA, it will cost NJ Transit $48 million dollars transporting riders to the matches….AND there is no tailgating. The clueless governor is acting like this wasn’t signed in 2018 and adjusted in 2023. All other host cities are charging fan normal rates. Sherrill and NJ Transit are thinking about charging $100 (normally $12.90) and there is no tailgating. Save your money. Stream it. MetLife sucks anyway…you’re not missing anything. Don’t continue to put up with this crap from her. Philly isn’t charging any additional fees to travel.

@_hoodiegawd @SharpFootball Yeah every kid that would be watching these games had their own athletic event tomorrow at like 8am.
Regardless of that, no good parent is letting a kid stay up this late.
English
@SharpFootball Its friday you fucking dipshit theres no school tomorrow everyone will be fine & all kids can watch
English
I rarely would say anything about this cause I'm personally a night owl... but...
it's after 11:30pm on the east coast
one Sweet Sixteen game is at halftime
the other has 11 game minutes left
no east coast kids get to watch the end of these great games, why make it like this
English
@TravisBOUND What’s stopping WIAA from implementing the shot clock? Why play a 70 year old version of the sport?
English
Folks, if you were upset about some stalling earlier today, you might want to consider tuning out for the D1 game. Madison Memorial might try to limit this thing to the 20's.

@TheRealRedShed Wow 2nd round? As a 3 seed? So another loss as a favored team.
I guess 1 deep run in 9 years is too much to ask. Not like Bo had the Badgers in the Sweet16/elight8/FF more times than not.
English
@PeteFiutak He took the lead. Won the game. And the Badgers continue to suck.
English
Did the High Point guy take 14 steps or 13 on that layup to take the lead over the Badgers?
English
@barryisthedon Is this really any worse than it is now? Wow a few “big” wins vs Mich/IL/Purdue. No conference championships, no NCAA tourney wins.
The standard was clearly set under Bo. Win the conference every 4-5 years. Sweet 16+ every 3 years.
English
A Wisconsin Basketball Play in 3 Acts:
1. Mac listens to message board experts, fires Gard
2. Super trendy mid major guy with an impressive recent March run is brought in. Experts call it "A+ hire"
3. Badgers make NCAA Tourney one time in next three years w two losing seasons
English
@r2dave2 @ESPNMilwaukee @BradNortmanisms I’d agree they’re not snakebitten, they have poor coaching. They made at least the sweet 16 eight times with Bo. Greg made it his first year with Bo’s players, never again.
It’s one thing if they’re losing to top seeds, but they’re consistently losing as favorites.
English
@JamesMSchultz @ESPNMilwaukee @BradNortmanisms Sure. But to say that the program itself is snakebitten is crazy when they were in the national championship game 11 years ago and upsetting a 1 seed 9 years ago.
English
"Wisconsin is snakebitten when it comes to the NCAA tournament." - @BradNortmanisms
English
@r2dave2 @ESPNMilwaukee @BradNortmanisms Far too many times in that 9 year stretch they have been a much higher seed, even favored by double digits (like today) and lost.
English
@JamesMSchultz @ESPNMilwaukee @BradNortmanisms We must define snakebitten differently. I hear that & think that a team hasn't had a significant tournament win in recent memory. 20+ years back since they've had games of consequence.
It's been 9. Not a pleasant stretch, I agree. But hardly snakebitten.
English
@r2dave2 @ESPNMilwaukee @BradNortmanisms That kinda proves the point. That’s the expectation, make the 2nd weekend at a minimum.
Teams coached by Greg can barely win a tournament game, and never made the 2nd weekend.
English
@ESPNMilwaukee @BradNortmanisms Insane take (or "standard radio take"). Wisconsin has two Final Fours & a national runner-up not just in our lifetimes but in recent memory. Then in the following years they upset a 2 seed and a 1 seed. A recent rough run does not remotely mean we're snakebitten.
English
@BenBrust Fire Greg. He’s had enough opportunities, never made it to the 2nd weekend. Irrelevant program right now.
English
@CFCDaily Majority of these players are trash, don’t know how they got to Chelsea.
English
@Peter_Bukowski @BartWinklerShow If that’s underperforming - an MVP QB, SB appearance + divisional round loss, what does that say about the Packers and their coaches?
That’s a higher apex than anything the Packers have done in 15 years.
English
@JamesMSchultz @BartWinklerShow Wow, an old coach riding Peyton Manning's coattails got fired for underperforming and the next year with an all-time defensive group, Gary Kubiak -- who had never been particularly successful in the playoffs -- lucked into a Super Bowl.
Amazing stuff.
English
We seem to want different things. I want to actually win a Super Bowl. You want to always have the hope of possibly winning one. That’s the difference and why I’m a Future Packers Fan Of The Year
Peter Bukowski@Peter_Bukowski
@BartWinklerShow @aaronkrienert But it’s REALLY hard to get excited when you win 5-8 games every year. If you’re this miserable over winning a lot in the regular season, it’s hard to imagine you when they suck all the time
English
@Peter_Bukowski @BartWinklerShow Broncos fired John Fox after back to back 1st rd byes, a SB appearance and promptly won the SB the following year.
English
@BartWinklerShow Those teams weren’t ever particularly close to winning. Big difference.
English
@Wobert6969 @TAT1SSZN So poverty that all our sports franchises are more valuable than anything the rest of the world has to offer?
English
do they want us to unwatch the super bowl or something I genuinely don't understand what the point of tweets like these is
CentreGoals.@centregoals
A normal El Clasico clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid draws an average viewership of between 600-650 million... that’s more than the last 5 Super Bowls combined. The greatest sport on planet Earth.
