And yet Tom crushes the other two with his rings.

It was because your theory is counter-intuitive. Logically, the more teams, the more rounds of playoffs, the harder it is for a team to repeat. But that may not apply to the NBA, because we still see a relatively small number of teams dominate.
-
Do you have any data to back that theory up?
-
So a playoff tournament starting with 21 teams? Yikes. Sounds incredibly rinky-dink.
-
a) The Bulls didn't make it to the Conference finals while Jordan was on his baseball hiatus. The rings argument for Russell is weakened a bit by how small the NBA was back then. In some of those years there were only 8 teams.
-
All true.
-
Are you old enough to have seen the Oilers in the Gretzky years?

My poor brother-in-law is a fan of the following teams: Toronto Maple Leafs Detroit Tigers New York Jets
-
Especially after watching some of this series on the Bulls, I have to put Jordan at the top. As Larry Bird said after MJ torched a great Celtics defense, "That wasn't Michael Jordan out there, that was God disguised as Michael Jordan."
-
How would you compare Tom Brady to Jim Brown to Lawrence Taylor?
-
Everybody has their own take on it, of course. I don't see how you compare Jordan to Russell straight up. But that's just me.
-
IMHO you have to put the big men in their own category.

The Last Dance is great because it feels like you're getting the plain truth, no matter how down and dirty.
-
There is some irony in that statement.

Saying "Lee spelled backwards, is eel" these days will get you a Twitter backlash and probably fired.

Hello, Hank Haney! (Thunder should get that joke.)

I think Mike Hargrove's walk-up music would have to be really annoying, to prepare you for the torture he was about to inflict.
-
No, it's not a slam dunk. People who make predictions on message boards, with nothing at stake, tend to be very confident in their crystal ball abilities.

It doesn't seem odd to me. -They had no idea at the time what would come out of the Red Sox investigation or how long it would take. But they were reasonably assured Cora was out for one season at least. -They were taking a lot of heat from the media saying that firing him was the right thing to do. -They needed to move on with their plans for 2020. -Maybe they also thought they had nothing to lose, in a sense, because they could re-hire Cora later if he was only gone a year. If they had installed Mike Scioscia or whoever as the new manager, it would be pretty obvious they were totally cutting ties. But the choice of Roenicke seems to really leave the door open.
-
Oh, that's a dandy hypothetical.
-
You're being kind of silly. Because he thinks Cora is a good manager and a good fit and he's available?
-
Did Dombrowski replace Farrell right away? Nope.
-
That quote is 100% accurate. But here is the entirety of it: "At the time that we parted ways with Alex, we were clear that that was a result of his role and what happened with the Astros and everything the investigation over there revealed," Bloom said. "It had nothing to do with what may or may not have occurred in Boston, and that's still the case. All the reasons we parted ways then are still the case." The meaning of that last sentence in the context of the whole thing is ambiguous, perhaps.
-
It's unprecedented, yes. But not being able to think of a reason for this happening is strange.
-
I disagree. In my speculative world, Roenicke goes back to bench coach in 2021.
