It’s so funny that Twitter literally had to bully the NBA into making the Finals feel like the Finals again. Trophy and logo on court. National anthem. Starting lineup intros. This is how it should always be.
Like I said, Giannis has put up a longer fight than most but they are indeed winning if they eventually bully him out of the city and get the fans on social media to come to terms with it.
Once they win this battle with Giannis, then they will go focus on Jokic, Haliburton after that and then SGA if we do not see OKC get back (but I do think they will).
Can’t believe it took Silver this long to realize how bad it was one they didn’t make the trophy the center piece. Legit didn’t make it feel like a special series at all before. Just felt like another game.
Giannis being traded will suck for two reasons:
1. It will mean Shams and the Big Market Media won
2. Giannis in another uniform, especially MIA or BOS, will make me sick
Honestly listening to the first 15 mins it feels as tho Jim O believes it is leaning toward Giannis being traded right now but he isn’t closing the door on keeping him just yet.
Almost like the “trending toward Giannis being traded as there needs to be a lot to happen and a wow move to keep him here” which I do not think is necessarily off the table.
I think the parts of him talking about Horst moving in the shadows for Jrue, Dame, Turner is noteworthy as it could mean he is doing the same right now for that big move to convince Giannis to stay. Also the business side of how it affects revenue if you move Giannis and try and sell a rebuilder wirh a bunch of role players.
Corbin Burnes suffered a teres major strain in his recovery from elbow surgery and will be shut down, per @nickpiecoro.
Burnes was expected back around the All-Star break but the hope now is that he can return sometime in September.
Imagine just getting walked off and you’re down in the clubhouse and can hear the echos of this song being song by all of the opposing fans and players.
So far this season:
Jacob Misiorowski: 1.65 ERA, 13.69 K/9
Kyle Harrison: 1.57 ERA, 11.46 K/9
Since ERA became official in both leagues in 1913, no other MLB team has had 2 pitchers with a sub-2.00 ERA & 11.00+ K/9 at the end of any day in June or later (min. 10 starts each).
Kyle Harrison, acquired from Boston in the Caleb Durbin trade, is 5-0 with a 0.79 ERA in his last 6 starts.
.189 AVG
0.88 WHIP
34.0 IP, 7 BB, 43 K
He starts tonight against the Giants.
