If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. The recent trend amongst NBA experts, podcasters, bloggers, and the like is to inform us all of what everyone is saying, and nobody is talking about. And then, they so cleverly say the opposite of what everyone else is saying and begin to talk about what nobody else seems to have noticed. Because they are all so smart, original, and observant. They are all a special, unique snowflake that see what the other dummies neglect.
It’s hilarious, honestly. On the same network (Bill Simmons, The Ringer), Jonathan Tjarks and Chris Vernon went on about how EVERYBODY is projecting a good season for the Thunder, but they just don’t see it.
