Nutshell reason of why the Celtics won't win the title: The manufacturers of championship rings do not except promo codes.

Nutshell reason of why the Mavs won't win the title: Nico Harrison's master vision apparently doesn't include dribbling.

Nutshell reason of why the Rockets won't win the title: Elven of their roster spots are occupied by power forwards and centers.

Nutshell reason of why the Clipps won't win the title: Age circumvention is not a realistic aspiration.

an annual rite of passage unlike any other: i regret to inform you that your favorite nba team is complete and absolute butt.

I cannot believe I've never seen the mannerisms/resemblance. Huge oversight considering this is the center of the venn diagram of my personal interests.

absolutely *splendid* stuff here from @nbasarah.bsky.social, who also heroically rebranded one of the closing lookahead segments to "wackadoodle lineups we want to see" 👏🫡

weclome aboard, @granthughes.bsky.social 🫡

this is real sicko stuff here from @btoporek.bsky.social 🤣

nobody i'd rather talk kings with than @gwiss.bsky.social, who remains amazing as ever, and is in PRIME lookahead form, right down to earning the mother of all superlatives for his answer to this question

so @caitlinmaycooper.bsky.social is the actual 🐐 and one of the nicest/coolest/smartest people you'll ever have the pleasure of listening to/watching/learning from. and i'll be absolutely damned if @hardwoodknocksnba.bsky.social ever received a gnarlier endorsement than this ⤵️
