Today on BRING IT IN TrueHoop’s David Thorpe and Henry Abbott rapid fire worked through the games, the hamstrings, the full-court pressure, and the proposed Damian Lillard trades of the NBA postseason, which is not at a full rolling boil.
Ethan Strauss is actually why I have a subscription to TrueHoop. I previously subscribed to the Athletic, but I canceled after reading one of Strauss’ articles on ratings. It was around the bubble restart last year and he seemed to take the stance that the BLM movement was bad for the NBA and ratings and suggested that Coach Pop was a hypocrite to speak out about racism in America because he yells at black players during games. It really turned me off and read more like a Reddit screed than an article. Maybe that was a one-off or something, but it bothered me enough to look for new coverage. Happy to I ended up here.
