  1. For 1 year at vet minimum well worth the risk imo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. This made me giggle...need a little more humor in our lives these days
  3. Working out somewhere in SoCal. Don't know much more than that though
  4. I doubt either of them get traded before the season starts. Especially Russ. His stock is so low now, they'd need to wait until he plays well in the regular season before teams get interested enough to make meaningful offers. Harden just needs to accept that he's here for the foreseeable future. He has no leverage now that it's known he's interested in being moved. And it's the NBA. Players don't holdout due to the restrictions in their CBA
  5. Hearing that Klay tore his achilles. Man i feel terrible for him if that's true...another long rehab! That sucks
  6. If folks are taking players that rode the bench in college at #4, there's no wonder folks are trading out of this draft!!!
  7. Anyone know where to find/stream the exhibition game tonight? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Announcers keep mentioning that the Astros have to be back in Houston by a certain time today. Any idea what for?
  9. As for tonight, i generally agree with this kind of approach. However, with the embarrassing performance in which the defense would still be hemorrhaging points had the clock not run out...I absolutely see defense as a TOP priority. I'll take anything on that side of the ball not only this pick but the next one as well. I don't care what offensive players are available. There's an absolute need there if you consider yourself a contender. You should know w/o a doubt that ur not nearly capable of dealing with a team like KC...if you're doing any kind of real self-assessing that is!
  10. If's and buts - I know. But if you had the choice would you keep Derion Conley & Duke Johnson or would you all rather have those additional 3rd round picks right now? Meaning you'd have (4) picks tonight instead of (2). I know which way i'd lean. I'd personally like to have the picks that were used for those guys instead. That's just me and my revisionism.
  11. Not to pick and it could just be a matter of interpretation, but when he made that statement, I took it as though he was talking about seeking out "other" teams captains. Not necessarily the captain of the current Bulls teams. To me he was talking about his place in the league in general - rather than just that Bulls team.
  12. It's so hard to say differentiate right now - what' is Jimmy's authentic "real" emotion or thought process or what's part of some long con. I love that aspect of it, cause it makes certain things impossible to try to predict. But it's also part of what Kim's apprehension is based on. She doesn't know for sure what Jimmy's end game is going to really be going forward. Part of that uncertainty is that Jimmy doesn't know dam himself half the time. I love how they shoot him contemplating/2nd guessing certain decisions, in real time. He considers doing the right thing and following Kim's wishes only to not be able to help himself and ends up going threw with it anyway (or at least to some degree). Same thing with Lalo Salamanca...he sees the family of the victim in the court room, camera sits on him thinking it over, but ultimately snaps back into Saul Goodman and finishes the sell job. As Kim said though, now with all that's transpired, how will she ever really know if she's part of the con or actually the uninformed mark/target of the scheme (like she was in the Mesa Verde situation)? Just great TV, imo...i actually find myself anticipating the tension in certain scenes and pausing it just to get myself ready to watch the intensity that's to come!
  13. The nasty alley from Harden to Russ is at the 35 sec mark. And its why Russ is right, centers shouldnt be guarding him! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Not just that the Rockets shot darn-near 50 FTs, but that UTAH only shot 25...at HOME???
  15. Really digging the show thus far. A few corny lines that make you roll your eyes, but plenty of good stuff that overcomes it. Both Terry and Heath left town and got infected, returned home and then left town again - creating the opportunities which lead to their demise (and that of the victims). But whatever's happening to the Jack character and whatever happened to the chick, don't look to include either of them leaving town. Wondering if this is an intentional pattern change or more coincidental? Also in the other situations, not only are the victim and "host" impacted significantly, but the families are tragically affected as well: Chick's family & victim's; Heath's family (not sure about his victim's or maybe just didn't pick up on it); but definitely Terry's victim's family. Curious why then the Maitlands haven't experienced as much 'grief' as the other affected families?
  16. I thought the Episode was excellent. There's definitely an element of supernatural at play here & the new Private Investigator's perspective is a great prism, I think at least, to see that through. The Maitland daughter staring at the mom while she slept crept me out. And her descriptions of her "visitor's" 4 different appearances adds to certain theories that are out there & could help explain the fingerprint belt buckle mystery being for the same person, only they're ancient years apart in age. The alcoholic cop doesn't seem to be involved with Maitland's situation but looks ready to become the next victim/host himself! I may have had too many adult bevs during the NFL games, but for some reason i failed to follow/understand the jailhouse subplot and where that fit into the episode.
  17. I just think the road to a title is as wide open as it's been in a while. And I don't personally think you put a championship squad together in one offseason by making major overhauls. For that reason, I think the public sees the 2 LA teams as favorites, but I don't think either of them truly know who they are yet. They've both made significant roster changes and imo - need to both go through a postseason run together before they can truly assess themselves. LAL also can't sustain any injuries or setbacks to either superstar or they're chances are shot. The Bucks, until Giannis shows he can hit a 3 under the pressure of postseason play, I'll have doubts they're capable of winning a ring! Folks will cut-off the lane, sag and dare him to shoot like Toronto did last year. Boston's legit. Like Houston, they've stayed the course really. Made a roster switch (Kemba for Kyrie: CP3 for RW) and the hope is that they improve and gel collectively. I guess I just think that all these teams are flawed in some way, just like the Rockets.
  18. If the Nuggets aren't title contenders in your eyes, may I ask who is then? If you're a Top 4 seed in the West this year, to me you're in the hunt it. Maybe not a favorite, but definitely contenders. I get the sense your statement is more a reflection of how you feel about the Rockets in general. Is there a team in the regular season that this team (as constructed) could beat that would have you even slightly convinced they're a contender? If so, I'm curious who?
  19. I was at a darn Xmas party that didn't have the game on. So I missed this. Looks like Russ went off. I'm assuming they tried some gimmick defenses to produce that many more shots for Russ than Harden? Nice F'n Win!!!
  20. Yep guys his size with his athleticism that guard on the perimeter - WITHOUT FOULING are a really rare breed. And he does a great job of it, especially for being so inexperienced!
  21. Who is this "The Comedian" you speak of? Is that a character we've been introduced to? Is this who's keeping Veidt captive?
  22. He's It'll be really interesting to see how he develops (and if that development happens here or on the next level). He has a better basketball skillset that than Sims does right NOW. He just needs more seasoning, imo! The more he plays the better he'll get. You can tell he just hasn't played enough ball yet. But I saw him last night pointing out missed rotations defensively to other players. So you can tell he's a confident bright kid (although an upperclassmen did have to get him in the right position a time or 2 as well. So he's far from knowing what he needs to to contribute more). Definitely a promising future though.
  23. 6.5 point favorites on my site Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Is PG13 returning tonight? Hou -2 tonight!
  25. Don't need polls or projections to affirm my views. CBU probably won't be a quality Win by the end of the year. But for game 3, they looked to be a quality opponent and one that will give other quality teams some trouble in addition to the fight it gave Texas last night. Hell Texas won by 13, the sharps in vegas had the line as low as 15. So it's not like they underperformed woefully from what the 'real' experts anticipated anyway. And this conference discussion is a ridiculous one. It's apples to oranges. The Big 10 & ACC have like 50 teams in them each with half those teams deserving to be in the NIT or worse right off the bat. With pools of that size you should have a couple teams that end up being elite. And let's not act like it's a plethora of teams vying for dominance. Those conferences are top-heavy & controlled (a lot like ours) by the same blue-bloods each and every year(Mich St, Mich, Duke, UNC & UVA recently). The Wisc/Pur/OhSt's of the world ain't never winning ish. Now the ACC is a different animal. They have legitimate depth and quality. But I'd put the Big 12 up against any of those others and to me the fact you can literally go on the road to any school in the Big 12 and lose that night if you don't play well, puts it ahead of the others in the conversation.
