Yeah Kyrie is a world class idiot but he's still a witch on the court.

It wasn't that he asked for a trade it's that he quit giving any effort on the court at all. KD asked for a trade and continued giving top effort. That this narcissist can't see the difference is not surprising at all.

I would think the guy Navy just fired would be worth a look from Rice, though honestly they should just give up football or drop to FCS.

n/m didn't realize it was out of a made basket not dead ball

I'm not really sure. I mean, it kind of looks like Blake Griffin, and that's the name the announcers keep using, but he plays more like my dad than like this guy:

I should have practiced more. And also chosen parents with better genes.

how old is this man to be doing petty shit like this

That last play was an embarrassment of coaching failure and execution. Wood trying to rush things and ending up setting the pick in the paint (which could have been called for a moving screen easily) shrunk the area the two defenders involved had to cover. If he sets the screen above the circle and dives to the rim he's got a much better chance at getting open for a lob, but even before that Hardaway should have recognized his guy was basically not playing him on that "screen" and Holiday was focused solely on Luka. He should have presented at the top of the arc for a rhythm catch and shoot that would have been wide open. I know you want Luka to get the last shot there, but when your play is trash and the other team knows you're trying to get it to Luka it's never going to work. They were only down 1, so they should have been running action to get the ball to Luka moving toward the basket where he could at a minimum catch a foul and win it at the line. Just awful awful coaching.

what dumbass is paying spencer rattler $2M?

Not a fan of Levine. Splash move that isn't going to happen but would rule is the heat giving up after a cold start and the Mavs somehow picking up Butler.

Hard to say a guy gets 30+ for you and is still the biggest reason you lost the game, but it felt that way watching the Nets tonight. KD just sloppy with the ball, turning it over left and right, killing momentum. He did have a couple nasty blocks in addition to the 30 points but those turnovers, man.

That would be the dream, but unless they can dupe someone into taking Ben Simmons plus draft picks every other year for the next ten years I don't see it.

I still don't see it with the Nets because of defense. They need Seth, Harris, Kyrie, and KD to all be hitting on offense to outscore the other team. Ben Simmons ain't locking dudes down, KD gets bullied in the post easily (but has become a very good help defender), and basically nobody plays good on ball perimeter defense for them. On offense they have way too many turnovers as well, ranking in the bottom half of the league so far in turnovers per game (and slightly worse with turnovers per possession).

I'm not following this line of attack. You randomly bring up fuel efficiency as a defense of the absolute cum guzzler in the diesel truck smogging out a kindergarten playground and then hurl "soy boy" as an insult and introduce another totally random line about horse power? I mean, first of all, HUH?, and second of all, WHO GIVES A FUCK?

The Kings look legit. I mean, I'm not sure if the Pacers are at all a reasonable barometer, but I'm impressed with the offensive efficiency.

Go hug a tree you ducking hippies. Diesel exhaust gives me an immediate headache and makes me nauseous within a couple minutes. So fuck diesel. And no the carbon footprint of your diesel truck is not lower than my gas car. The diesel engine may be more efficient but your truck is still getting less efficient than my small car.

That fuck bag wins the thread as far as I'm concerned. Fuck diesel exhaust.

Missing from that tweet is the fact that he only shot 4 free throws. On 24 shot attempts.

Is a washed, undersized guard who doesn't play defense and can no longer create his own shot really what the Mavs are lacking right now?

Relax my guy, not making any accusations, just suggesting the pictures you posted weren't really supporting your conclusion. Never said your conclusion was definitely false. My position is 1) Ewers did not look great in many games this season, 2) the OL did not look great in many games this season, 3) both QB and OL are probably in the best shape they've been since 2009.

I'm not sure those stillframes tell the story you think they do. The first group I see a clean pocket 3 seconds after the snap. He might not have had another second but what is considered "enough" time in the pocket? I honestly don't know what should be considered standard there. The second group of shots I see him maybe feeling the pressure off the right edge causing him to climb the pocket into a crowded mess when it really looks like he could have bailed to the left with two potential outlets dragging across with him and the potential to make something with his legs if gets the corner. Again, the last shot is 3 seconds after the snap and no defender is close to touching him. I guess your point that the OL is moved many yards back from the LOS is true, but I guess I don't see that as a failure in pass protection if there is still a sizable pocket around the QB. It's clearly not dominant OL play there, but also not exactly a QB making them look good.

Yeah, I can see why his name isn't popping up at EVERY P5 job, but Stanford and Ga Tech could probably both benefit from zigging while others are zagging. They're never going to out-recruit the traditional powers in the NIL world.

Why does Calhoun at air force not get any traction for other jobs? Is he just considered a lifer at the academy? Seems like the sort that could do well at Stanford.

The OL was not great this year especially against interior pass rushers. The OL this year was maybe the best in the past 5 years and easily in the top half of the past ten years. Both of those statements can be, and are, true. See also, Quinn ewers finished the season pretty rough after the promising start against Alabama; Quinn ewers is probably the best QB prospect to start for Texas since Colt left.

THJ is just stealing money from the Mavs at this point. If they waive him does he still count against the cap? Even that might be worth it just so Kidd doesn't feel tempted to play him anymore.
