    So if LeBron couldn't win the first seed in the East despite playing a full season last year with the Cavs, will he even be in the playoffs next year with LA?

     

    Absolutely. I think they'll be the #3 or #4 seed, depending on how OKC does.

    The Drop.

     

    Pretty good movie. There's something about these movies that feature a small cast (numbers-wise) that's pretty nice. Plus, it's got Tom Hardy, so that's cool too. I can also say that It's been a while since I've looked forward to a character's demise more than I have in this movie. Actually, I can't really think of a time I've looked forward to it more.

     

    Love that movie. Have a soft spot because it's Gandolfini but I love it anyway.

    I kinda like that the Sixers are just gonna roll with their young core. Let's see what Fultz can do. If he reaches his potential then Embiid/Saric/Fultz/Simmons is good enough to win a championship (assuming all 4 reach their full potential). Nobody's beating Golden State this year anyway. Gotta load up for 2019.

    Would a hard salary cap fix the lack of competitive balance? I know it's tricky because rosters are so small, but maybe there's a way to do it. Way too many loopholes right now. Why is the mid-level exception a thing?

    The Sixers will definitely be in on Kawhi next summer, assuming they don't get another star before then. But trading for him now is tricky. You could be trading for a one-year rental if he bolts next summer. I don't think the Sixers should offer much, maybe Covington+1st. I wouldn't offer Saric or Fultz.

    MVP: Carson Wentz

    OPOY: Antonio Brown

    DPOY: Aaron Donald

    OROY: Saquon Barkley

    DROY: Roquan Smith

    COY: Doug Pederson

     

    Including conference championships is weird. BCpls.

     

    Save your weird predictions, folks. It's gonna be a rematch and repeat result.

    :Eagles:

     

    MVP: Carson Wentz. No commentary needed.

    OPOY: Carson Wentz. The wealth is shared all around on our offense, so there's no one skill player who would likely make a strong case for this.

    DPOY: Brandon Graham. Contract year, and he has more opportunities for sacks than Cox.

    OROY: Dallas Goedert. This is a longshot, but I can see the Eagles running plenty of 2-TE sets to give this kid touches. He could end up big in the red zone with teams focusing on Jeffery and Ertz.

    DROY: Josh Sweat. Close to 0% chance this happens.

    CPOY: Jason Peters. I don't think Wentz missed enough of the season to qualify, and maybe Peters doesn't either. He's our best candidate.

    A lot of people hate TLJ because it's cool and trendy to do so. I agree, to a lesser extent, with blots, that the film's reputation will improve over time.

     

    Of course, this is indeed contingent on how Episode IX plays out. I think the greatest weakness in the new trilogy, so far, is the lack of communication between films. It's very obvious J.J. Abrams had a certain vision in mind directing TFA, and then Rian Johnson took TLJ in a completely different direction. Both films are still exceptional on their own, but they don't hold together as well as connected parts of a series.

    Does anybody else wonder now how he was ever viewed so highly as a prospect? Looking back...high INTs, egregious Dad-bod (seriously Jameis, you're not at your best if you're not in the best shape possible), extremely ugly character issues....

     

    How did we all get this guy so wrong?

     

    Because his junior year was spectacular. Scouts just need to see 8-10 good games in a prospect and they become convinced they can be an NFL star.

    I don't think LeBron is Philly bound because the timing is a bit off.

     

    LeBron is going to go somewhere with a shot to beat the Warriors next year. While I think the Sixers+LeBron could compete with the Warriors, I'm not sure they're ready yet. Embiid is a star, sure, but Simmons still has some developing to do, and nobody knows what Fultz will turn into. So I think the Sixers are at least a year from maxing out in terms of talent, so it's not the wisest move for LeBron.

     

    I'm with Sean. Bring Kawai to Philly.

     

    As for LeBron, I don't know where he goes. Houston makes the most sense because I think beating Golden State means you need LeBron+2 stars. Is there any way LeBron can lure Chris Paul to Cleveland? Maybe that could work.

    No, just win the fucking thing, I don't care where it happens. We can't mess around with this, we've been on the wrong end of enough series comebacks already. Take the momentum we've got and wrap it up Thursday. GO CAPS!

     

    And they did! Congratulations to you, oochy, and to devout Capitals fans everywhere. As a division rival, I should hate this, but I don't. Gotta respect the Caps for what they've done, and much respect to Ovechkin especially. I've had the pleasure of seeing him play in person multiple times. He deserves the Cup.

    Part of me is still hoping for a classic Washington choke-job, though no one has come back from 3-1 in the SCF since 1942 and no one has done it at all since 2015. That said, I'm a sentimentalist, so if Washington is destined to win the Cup, let them win it on home ice.
