He literally appears in just about 15 minutes left in the episode. It’s feels like Joey’s Creek atp. I’ve stumbled on some post that at times it felt like Joey was more of the main character and I could see why. Why would the writers even write an episode like that, I could go as far as saying it felt like Dawson was portrayed as a new character.

Never in my years I’ve came across a character so evil and vile in a comedy show. I’m convinced she’s the spawn of Satan, she’s probably worse than Thanos lol. I can’t imagine what aloud and her sister childhood was like growing up with someone so evil. This woman legit drugged an innocent man into marrying her just so she can finesse him. I can’t even tell what’s the worst thing she’s done on the show, because it’s countless. The actress did a great job portraying a character like this.

I first watch the show on Nick at Nite about 15 years ago but after rewatching it I see Malcolm can be very annoying at times. He complains too much and can be very pessimistic. He legit had a problem with Dewey claiming that his shirt is lucky, bro had to put science and logic into that lmfao. He might be really smart but he can easily be outsmarted at the same time too.

Disappointing teams: Which team will take a tumble this season?

1. Los Angeles Lakers: 32 points

2. Detroit Pistons: 27 points

3. Golden State Warriors: 26 points

4. Miami Heat: 22 points

5. Boston Celtics: 17 points

There's no more potent formula for disappointment in the NBA than the weight of expectations combined with an organizational standard for perennial championship contention.

That's the scenario facing the Lakers and Heat next season, with L.A. building out its team to fit specifically around 27-year-old superstar Luka Doncic and Miami landing its next face of the franchise: Giannis Antetokounmpo. If L.A. can't build on its last two 50-win seasons, the team's handling of LeBron James' exit will be called into question all over again. And if the Heat can't make a playoff run, the three first-round picks and young talent like Kel'el Ware included in the deal with the Milwaukee Bucks will be reexamined.

The other three teams receiving votes are dealing with only one of the two aforementioned elements. The Pistons are coming off the team's first 60-win season in 20 years, which ended with a Game 7 second-round exit on their home floor. They'll be expected to capitalize while Cade Cunningham enters into his prime. Meanwhile, a quiet offseason of activity by the Warriors could mean the volume will be turned up by a frustrated fanbase if the product doesn't resemble the dynastic teams that Stephen Curry has been a part of in the past. -- Dave McMenamin

Between these players, the next to request a trade will be ...?

1. Anthony Davis: 10 points

2. Kyrie Irving: four points

T-3. Kevin Durant: three points

T-3. Zion Williamson: three points

T-5. James Harden: two points

T-5. Jaylen Brown: two points

Davis and the Wizards are essentially opening the season on a trial period. That's quite a stark contrast to the franchise's partnership with Trae Young, the other former All-Star that Washington acquired before last season's trade deadline -- and signed to a four-year, $213 million extension this summer that raised eyebrows around the league.

Davis and his agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, haven't been coy about their desire for a maximum (or close to it) contract extension. That was a driving factor in Dallas' decision to trade Davis a year after he was the headliner in the return of the Luka Doncic deal, and it made finding a market for him difficult.

If Washington isn't willing to pay Davis what he wants, why would he be satisfied to stick around and attempt to help the Wizards snap a six-year playoff drought?

Irving, who played only one game alongside Davis during their short stint together as Mavericks teammates, has given no indication of a desire to leave Dallas. The Mavs have declined to engage teams that have inquired about his availability as Irving prepares to return from the knee injury that sidelined him all of last season.

But front offices across the league anticipate that one or both parties could decide it's in their best interest to part ways, wondering about the long-term fit of the 34-year-old Irving as the Mavs prioritize building around teenage prodigy Cooper Flagg.

Irving, like Davis, has a contract with a player option for the 2027-28 season. So does Durant, who had Houston as his preferred destination when the Suns decided to make him available via trade after the 2024-25 season and signed an extension well south of his max to give the Rockets financial flexibility. -- MacMahon

Will we get a different champion for the ninth straight season?

1. Yes: 19 points

2. No: five points

Some of the best teams in the NBA have an opportunity to snap the record streak of eight different champions in as many seasons, including the last three winners in New York, Oklahoma City and Boston, who could each win another title in 2026-27.

But our panel thinks it far more likely that a ninth distinct winner will emerge next season. As ESPN's Ben Golliver outlined recently, the leading candidates to do so are the San Antonio Spurs, who reached the 2026 Finals ahead of schedule; the Philadelphia 76ers, with LeBron James and Jaylen Brown adding star power; and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers, who have all reached the conference finals or better within the last two years. Detroit, Houston, Miami and Atlanta are also contenders to make a run next spring. -- Zach Kram

Which team is most likely to make a big move before the trade deadline?

1. Golden State Warriors: nine points

2. Detroit Pistons: four points

T-3. Boston Celtics : three points

T-3. Houston Rockets: three points

T-5. Denver Nuggets: one point

T-5. Memphis Grizzlies: one point

T-5. Miami Heat: one point

T-5. Sacramento Kings: one point

T-5. Toronto Raptors: one point

The angst level is rising among Bay Area fans after the Warriors made no major additions via trade or free agency after just their second losing season in the past 14 years. Now that Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James have headed elsewhere, what's the plan to give Stephen Curry, who will turn 39 in March, another shot at the playoffs?

When facing similar stagnation two seasons ago, Golden State made a splashy midseason deal for Jimmy Butler that propelled a run to the second round of the playoffs. The Warriors will have a few options before the deadline in February: They could try to flip Butler's expiring contract and assets for a star or construct a more modest deal around Kristaps Porzingis. This much is clear: It will likely be another frustrating campaign if Warriors executive Mike Dunleavy Jr. doesn't do something of consequence. -- Golliver

That performance was incredible just like I expected. That was my first time seeing any of the perform and it was definitely worth it. The fact that they are able to sing and dance at the same time is amazing because that is hard to do. Chris managing to keep his voice going and flying at the same time needs to be studied lol. They perform pretty much every song I wanted them to perform.

There was also this part during where it showed like a film noir of Chris greeting this woman sitting on a car and then this Goliath built guy played the villain as Chris and him went at it. That was creative

It too me me like half and hour just to get back to my car because of how packed Roger’s stadium was but that’s a different story lol
