  1. Hated him at TCU. Liked him here. Damn.
  2. You and the kid have to go to every game now.
  3. We’re not going to regret shit. He’s a walking liability and can’t keep his personal life from negatively impacting his professional life. The win at all costs mentality you have is cancerous to a university like ours. Do better.
  4. I’d go with retail Panini NBA Hoops or Donruss. They are bottom tier products you can snag at Walmart/Target that have hanger packs of ~30 cards for $6-$7 and blaster boxes of ~90-120 cards for $20-$30.
  5. PSA has a portal to create submissions by card type and service level. Very straightforward process and turnaround time for my last bulk submission was ~2 months (down from the ~year plus at the peak of Covid card mania). PSA Gem Mint 10s outperform BGS’ Gem Mint equivalent of 9.5s and hold their value well. BGS Pristine 10s and black label 10s (perfect quad 10 sub grades) are pretty rare but will boost values significantly. PSA and BGS are tops in the industry with SCG being a distant third, IMO. Covid brought in so many grading companies that will essentially slab your cards with meaningless grades on the cheap. If you’re going to do it, go with PSA or BGS.
  6. What a kick to the nuts. Has to be up there with biggest blown leads in team history and is the biggest in the league this year. Neither Luka nor Kyrie wants to be the guy at the end of these games. Need that killer mentality to start showing and quick.
  7. On the verge of an epic 27-point lead collapse L at home against the LeBrons. Takes skill to blow this many 20+-point leads in a single season.
  8. To get him into the hobby, it’s hard to go wrong with retail (Walmart, Target, etc.) offerings of Panini Prizm, Select, Donruss Optic and NBA Hoops. He’ll get some really cool cards with potentially a few hits (relics and/or autos) without you having to break the bank. Most boxes and mega boxes are <$50 and hanger packs are even less. Hobby boxes are steep - I’ve looked at getting a box of the Cadillac of basketball offerings, National Treasures, but can’t quite justify having to explain a ~$6k purchase for a pack of cards. Stay away from group breaks, razzes and the grifters on Whatnot. You can burn through so much money without having anything but regret to show for it.
  9. @futureman When is Duce signing with us?
  10. Does Asbury ask its congregation to tithe and yet still pays no taxes? If so, still a grift.
  11. Have never heard of the halftime acts. I must be an old.
  12. Ok. You’re a fucking moron. No way in hell we should or will do this. Move on.
  13. Will conservatives really vote for a woman named Nimrata Randhawa? Something doesn’t sound quite white about that. Male in ballots may be needed.
  14. Bet his life savings of $50 on the game. Tough break.
  15. That whiff of a final possession in the 4th was brutal. THJ going down at the half was unfortunate. Green balled out. Glad to get 1/2 but should have swept.
  16. Would be a welcome addition. We need more depth.
  17. Winning is fun. Let’s sweep the series mañana. Luka expected to play but we’ll see.
  18. Want to see them hold this 20-point lead. Hasn’t exactly been their m.o. this year. Would be another great team victory with Luka out.
  19. Should’ve traded him a few years ago. Will still never understand why they drafted him with Vucevic then traded Vucevic only to pair him with Birch, Carter and now Bol. Hope he gets some room to run with the LeBrons.
