I know everyone in this sub is in eighth grade but it’s a drag that basketball is exclusively discussed through memes and soap opera drama (mostly made up by randos online).

My most unpopular NBA opinion (and I know I will get downvoted) is that Zach Lowe isn’t the expert basketball analyst that everybody thinks.

I listen the guy’s every podcast don’t get me wrong, but most of the “analysis” is how much he loves this guy, or how he doesn’t sell the stock of that guy, or that he has always been on the next guy’s island.

All positive talk, no badmouthing anyone which is not bad, but dude some players like LaMelo obviously deserve some of the crap that comes to their way, stop pampering them.
