    Let's not let all the talk be about Hollins playing the Bullard role. It sounds like Elie will be playing the Clyde role. A huge upgrade!

    Rejoice, 99ers @tinman (and @tinywang because you also came up when I started typing @tin)

    Maybe I'm just feeling manic because the last 2 years have been such an abomination, but with this mix of wildcard players and a fresh broacast crew I'm really looking forward to this year the most since 2018. Even preseason!

    Tuesday, let's go.

    Wherever he is, he is teaching someone a lesson on his way to the rim. Can someone post a meme of him clubbing a baby seal defender while putting up a finger roll?

    Recurring appearances means he’ll likely be a half time or post show guest on some nights, right?

    I figured it would be in the studio, but this begs the question, why not Vernon Maxwell who openly applied for the job. He’s saying it’s his dream while Elie has been working on his coaching career.

    Now don’t get me wrong, it’s better than Drexler, though I’m wondering if it’s just 10 or so games rather than all home games. I’m also not necessarily sold on Elie as a commentator but at least the Rockets are represented!

    He’s the BIG 3 league commissioner, it should be pretty easy to find.

    save this message, and this state of happiness in your diary, and remember it whenever someone says the regular season is meaningless...
