@RapSheet @MikeGarafolo HALLELUJAH

During his scheduled re-check with Dr. Norman Waldrop last week, #Broncos QB Bo Nix had a successful and anticipated follow-up clean-up procedure on his ankle, per me and @MikeGarafolo. While the team is expected to be conservative with his participation during the offseason program, Nix continues to make strong progress in his recovery and remains firmly on track to be ready for the start of training camp.

Gotta be the worst to play the Celtics because they hit so many 3s But on the road you have to hear that announcer go J T FOR THREEEEEEEEEE

@jeffreygberg @BillSimmons This is true 😭

@WeBlowBo @BillSimmons I hope you are right, but us Grizz fans thought that too. That ish can change in heartbeat.

If only Detroit knew before the trade deadline that they needed extra scoring and 3 point shooting.

@stacy_cordell @BillSimmons Definitely a blessing financially. Doubt Duren gets the max anymore

@WeBlowBo @BillSimmons My thoughts exactly! We just saved our future by not panicking and making a dumb trade at the deadline. My gut tells me that if they’re bounced in the 1st round this year that it’s a blessing in disguise

@jeffreygberg @BillSimmons They'll be back. Top-10 player in the league + athletes.

@WeBlowBo @BillSimmons And may never be in this spot again. When you have a chance to make it to the Finals you should not pass that up.

@ScoobInTheWoods @BillSimmons You’ve got Cade and good athletes. You’ll be right back up there. Hopefully with another superstar to help Cade

@WeBlowBo @BillSimmons Do you think we will just get a free roll next year?? The pistons should have taken advantage of the situation they were given but they kicked the can down the road like every other team in Detroit.

Watching a Raptors-Magic series is going to be character building

@keerthikau A Raptors-Magic series is going to be like watching Wizards-Nets at the end of the season, but they’re trying to make the shots

Magic win! They shot 32.6% from the field, the fifth worst mark in a playoff win in the 3-point era & worst since the Raptors on Sunday.

The Dodgers are inevitable

If the Wolves chose NAW over Naz (and they were still healthy) I think they would’ve been the Thunder’s biggest threat

@Whojive @waksmaina @BillSimmons Yeah idk what he’s saying

@waksmaina @WeBlowBo @BillSimmons we played without Cade and Stew for a month and Boston still couldnt catch us

@waksmaina @BillSimmons What is this take 😭

@WeBlowBo @BillSimmons Yes but Detroit didn’t have to be the top 2 seeds.

we need raptors-magic in round two. i want basketball to be set back by two decades.

Jalen Duren's contract negotiations are going to look like the emergency board room scene from Margin Call.

@waksmaina @BillSimmons Uhhh Orlando was in the play-in it wasn’t really up to them

@WeBlowBo @BillSimmons It is the most important based on match ups. If you are not too far ahead , you have the opportunity to take risks to influence the seeding of lower teams . Detroit should have always tried to avoid Orlando. The only team built to play like Detroit.

@waksmaina @BillSimmons The NBA is the sport where seeding is the least important

@WeBlowBo @BillSimmons Ok. But what guarantees that they will be a high seed next time?

A Raptors-Magic playoff series:

The rebounding/rim rolling big man playoff disaster should not be paid. Prime examples: 1) Jarrett Allen 2) (Soon to be) Jalen Duren 3) Poeltl 4) Mark Williams 5) Big critique of Gobert the last couple playoffs Have to be able to create nowadays as a big

@redwingguy @BillSimmons Playoff ball not built for him. Max contracts only worth it for guys who show up in the playoffs. Jalen Duren is the #1 case of don't pay a big man a lot of money (unless ofc you have a Jokic or Wemby)

@WeBlowBo @BillSimmons He’s been terrible. As a transplanted Detroiter who didn’t get to watch much regular season. I thought Duren was supposed to be good. He’s approaching unplayable.
