  1. Basketball has the dumbest discourse of any sport. I'd say it has the stupidest fans, but it's the same people who watch football. They just say fewer stupid words about football. When I read "The Jordan Rules" and saw all this talk about how in 1990 people thought Jordan was just a selfish scorer who could never win, it shocked me. But we've gotten a lot dumber since then. Why is it the nation is capable of watching a football game and analyzing where teams are weak, what teams did wrong, or how coaches made mistakes, but when a basketball game ends, every discussion is who's the GOAT, who's a superstar, and will X ever win?
  2. Excellent movie. The climax was one of the best parts of a movie I've seen in a couple years. Hope Powell and Linklater keep doing movies together.
  3. The white on the shoulder stripes would look better if the numbers had a white outline as well. Similar to the inverse of the Vikings throwbacks posted above. Also the numbers on the back look massive. You can't even see the whole number on that dude.
  4. By the time this series starts, it will have been 8 weeks since Boston played a 50 win team. Stfu about Boston facing adversity.
  5. Kyrie just signed a new contract last summer. Luka is signed through 2027 and is eligible for more due to making another All NBA team.
  6. Yeah please boo Kyrie and Luka real loud. That's working out really well for Mavs' opponents. Make sure they hear you. As for banner 18, gonna be awkward if a little franchise like Dallas has 2 rings in 13 years and Boston has 1 ring in 38 years. Definitely boo loud to prevent that.
  7. Gobert committed two different acts that could be technical fouls. He grabbed two dudes by the back of the head.
  8. You said "the days of tim Duncan and Grant Hill entering the league as polished players is over." Those are your words. It was the begining of your argument that I quoted. Wembanyama and Miller looked pretty damn polished. Derek Lively is the determining factor in the western conference playoffs right now. If we want to say American players are slightly down, fine. But the improvement in talent from overseas more than makes up for it. The league is more talented right now than ever.
  9. Why did you cut off the two guys who completely go against your thesis?
  10. I feel like a lot of people are looking at this series from Minnesota's perspective: what they're doing wrong, how they'd win if Edwards and KAT hit shots, etc. PJ Washington and Derrick Jones Jr are 2-17 from three in this series. The wings haven't come close to matching their performance from the first two rounds. If the role players start knocking down shots, there could be a blowout .
  11. His acting in Normal People was incredible. I haven't seen anything else, but he was so good in that, I might agree with this. I heard he was great in Aftersun.
  12. He runs a 10.8 100 meter dash. He had 7 TDs in 6A as a freshman. He's been offered by a ton of schools.
  13. Draft people are just as aware of Ewer's problems with deep balls as we are. When discussing Worthy and Mitchell, I heard tons of draft people admitting they were handicapped by Ewers's inconsistency. For Ewers to go in the 1st round, he will have to put up better numbers and put up some film of him consistently hitting targets deep. He'll have to do this with worse receivers.
  14. One thing to consider is how many of the worst teams will be ready to move on from QBs they drafted 1-2 years before? Carolina, Denver, Tennessee, NY Giants, Washington, Las Vegas, Minnesota, and New England have the lowest win total over/unders. I can see Tennessee, NY, Vegas drafting QBs. I could maybe see Carolina giving up on Bryce two years in. Denver is the dumbest franchise in the NFL now so who knows what they will do.
  15. That's actually pretty damn good. Some misses, but not bad for a year out.
  16. It's fun. I'd recommend Giles Milton's book. The second half of the book has a different mission every chapter like the one in the film.
  17. Can't believe there are fans hating on the trade down. It was the perfect move for a team with at least four enormous holes and no 4th round pick. One of Barton or Jackson Powers Johnson will still probably be there.
  18. ...they basically did. That's almost the exact same jersey.
  19. The numbers are now white and blocked. The shoulder stripes are different and don't have the letters. It's closer to the Barry Sanders era now.
  20. Alleged leak for Houston's new alternate helmet. Looks like something a 5A high school would wear.
  21. Went to Teddy Wongs on Rosedale. Excellent soup dumplings.
  22. Imagine having the same record as the A's at 5 times the payroll.
