    I’d like to think that the addition of Murray and Walker, and another year of growth from White, would at least be enough to push us into the conference semis. If you have those guys and stay relatively healthy all season, you have a shot at a higher seed which immediately boosts those chances. But expecting a team led by LA and DeMar to be a real contender is foolish at this point. We knew that in the abstract, but last night crystallized it.

    He’s a good guy and he was a key piece of the 2013-2014 teams, but Patty is just atrocious now. i can’t figure out if he’s worse on the defensive end or on the offensive end as a ball handler. Each time down court I change my mind. It’s a cruel twist to the old, “Could Kawhi get buckets on Kawhi?” thing. Stoppable force meets movable object.

    1) I don’t think that’s “obvious”. 2) Even if you’re right about what Pop was yelling, LaMarcus also didn’t apply any pressure. So he either didn’t hear him or chose to ignore him 3) An NBA player shouldn’t need to be told what to do in that situation. Forbes was pretty clearly telling LA to foul.

    Well, and I guess you could argue that OKC could beat Denver/Houston in the first round, so it would be nice to have home court as the 6 seed assuming we make it to Round 2. That’s getting way ahead of ourselves though. I’m still worried about the Mavs.
  6. Welch
    OKC really doesn’t matter anymore, do they? I mean, I’m figuring the 6 and 7 seeds are pretty much interchangeable. As long as we beat Dallas (which is *far* from a given this season), we’re assured of no worse than 7th.

    There were 33 seats up in the Senate. Dems won 22-11.

    As usual, this will work out well for Republicans. They’ve spent the last eight years establishing Congressional committees as partisan shams. Mueller and Rosenstein could hand Nadler the smoking pee tape and half the country wouldn’t believe it since it came out of Congress. Hell, a third of the country wouldn’t believe it even if lifelong Republican Mueller released it himself.

    We had that one stretch in December where we won like six straight by 25+. I liked that stretch.

    Need to go 20-10 in our final 30 to get to 50 wins. For comparison, we’ve gone exactly 20-10 since Dec. 1. Considering the way this team plays (wins over Toronto, Philly, Boston, Houston, Indiana, GS, Denver... but losses to Memphis, Phoenix, and Chicago), it’s probably not even worth trying to analyze the schedule.

    To be fair, they have plenty of experience in this particular area.

    Walk me through this line of thinking. I get the whole “everything he does is a distraction” angle, but I don’t see how it’s beneficial to him here. There was plenty of “treason” smoke throughout the last six months of 2018, but his numbers were remarkably stable. Then the shutdown started and created noticeable movement in approval/disapproval. The public may not have the attention span to keep track of Kislyaks and Deripaskas, but they understand soup kitchens and missed chemo treatments. It just seems to me that at this point, he’d rather have the “treason” distract from the shutdown, and not the other way around. (If you’re thinking that there are going to be big “treason” shoes to drop in the coming weeks... I guess that might change the dynamic some. But I still don’t see how giving up field position beforehand helps him any.)

    I actually appreciate the clarity that Republicans’ consistent and absolute dumbfuckery has provided for us. I’ve become more fiscally liberal as a result. I figure that Rs manage to be wrong (or acting in bad faith) on virtually everything... climate change, Jade Helm, bathroom bills, immigration “crises”, death panels, the debt ceiling, weapons of mass destruction, hurricane relief, child separation, “the tax cut will pay for itself”, etc. I mean, if I know someone who is always wrong about everything I care about, I figure they’re probably wrong about everything else, too.

    I’m guessing that because it’s a new Congress, the Senate would have to pass this again, right? Or would the House passing it send it straight to Trump’s desk? If it’s the former, McConnell will be in a fascinating position. Normally he’d say “we won’t vote on anything the President doesn’t support”, but given their relationship at the moment, he may just being it up for a vote.

    Thanks. At the game the scoreboard was showing 27-14 too. Thought I was losing it.
  16. Welch
    Is it still 24-14 or did LT tack on another FG?

    Judson’s clock management at the end of the first half would make Charlie Strong blush. Sheesh.

    Somewhat related to the thread: Have we heard anything on Sterns’s injury? Is the expectation that he’ll play?

    Looks like it’s already showing up in San Antonio.

    I’m no Gilbert apologist, but that Texas offense was hardly stacked. Our OL - none of whom went on to sniff the NFL - was guys like Hix, Huey, Tanner, and Ulatoski. Our backfield was Tre Newton and DJ Monroe. Our receivers - outside of Jordan Shipley - were Dan Buckner and Malcolm Williams, with a freshman Marquise Goodwin getting some reps too. The only great players on that offense were McCoy and Shipley, and Gilbert replaced half of them. It’s a testament to how great those two guys were - and how great our defense was - that we very possibly win that game if Colt doesn’t get hurt.

    As the old joke went, “The only place Greg Davis had a north-south passing attack.”

    That’s partly a function of their opponents next weekend. OU has a better chance of losing than Ohio State does. This is also why the predictor shows Clemson with a higher chance of winning the title than Alabama.

    We were similarly better on the road in the regular season in 2017. Then the playoffs started and we went 8-1 at MMP and 3-6 on the road. I wouldn’t be surprised if something like that happened again.
