  1. Definite upgrade from fringe-NBA talent like Bassey and Biyombo. Much needed. Maybe they knew it before fans were yapping about missing on a big in the draft.
  2. Ilia is unbelievable man. Did not expect that to be that easy. I'd love to see Pimblett get slept jumping the line to a title shot, but apparently Dana didn't appreciate him being in the ring after the fight. Maybe we can see Justin vs Paddy and Ilia vs. Arman.
  3. Not too worried about the draft. If we were able to pick up a C, we'd still be in dire need of a 3 and D wing, as we have been for 2-3 years. We got one and now we need a C. Oh well. We'll figure it out. And we make the playoffs without one this year. If we "complete" our team next year then we are on schedule.
  4. One more future 1st rounder would be tolerable, imo. If that doesn't get it done. Walk away. Sucks that the Spurs and Suns front offices aren't on this thread so they could see how worthless Sochan is.
  5. The Bane trade package makes me not want to even try the KD trade market. 4 FRPs, a swap, and two contributing players? I can hope that the suns realize he's 37 and entering his twilight, but obvs they'll try to say he's worth more than Bane....... No thanks.
  6. My mother (73 years of age) emailed me from her yahoo email account to let me know she would be at the Harlingen No Kings Day protest. It's being organized by an area Democratic group so they notified police, and have a general rule of USA flags only, thus I'm sure it will be a lot more tame than the rest of the state. But I'm glad she still has the gumption to stand in the heat for a couple hours for her country. Let's see how much tear gas Austin gets poured on it in comparison.
  7. Saw it this weekend. I guess I liked it, solid B+. A bit hard to follow with so many characters but it kinda wraps up nicely at the end. I've seen a handful of his movies now, and maybe because I'm getting older, but his shtick seems to get sillier and sillier. The sudden cuts and zany actions seem more cartoonish than ever. It did have some funny moments though, a good handful.
  8. That Dana White Privilege can take you far! All the way to the top! But keeping that belt is a whole nother ballgame. Now we'll see if Sean has the balls and dedication to grind away against some of the great competition in the Top 5.
  9. Proud boy failures who get hard off of cosplaying soldiers while fucking with people with skin color.
  10. Honestly, they're trying to be nice about the talent, but not a lot about Marcel Reed is intriguing. He played plenty last year, and he gives off plenty of "jag" vibes. He can scramble, but he's not taking over games with it. His passing is..... serviceable. I think it's way more likely that he finishes his career as something other than an aggy.
  11. Been waiting to this team to "click" before I spend money on going to see them this year, but this season is quickly passing me by..... Was so much fun during Driussis first year. People actually seemed like they wanted to play for Austin.
  12. Images like this make me roll my eyes at that NYT article. White maga are so fucking insidious. They know exactly what to say, how to feign care and empathy. Which nobody at any one of those rallies has one ounce of. "Oh bless her heart we didn't mean Carol!! She's such a sweetheart". Deep down you and I know you're voting for white supremacy, you put the fucking white supremacists in office. You saw the white supremacists marching the streets taking "stand down and stand by" orders from Trump, and that shit pleased the inner racist in you. So you fed that devilish beast at the voting booth. The Leopards aren't eating faces on this shit, because these motherfuckers don't actually give a shit about that woman, they've just convinced their church friends and Carol herself that they do. Then they'll give a slight "hmph" and go back to eating breakfast.
  13. I definitely call horseshit. 18-21 hours of 'A' for any normal student would be extremely impressive. 24 hours, at 2 different institutions, while playing a college sport? Momma is making shit up about her little angel.
  14. That's a lot of 8-4 predictions for a team that has to play Michigan, Auburn, Texas, Ole Miss, @ South Carolina, @ Bama, @ Tennessee, Missouri, LSU. The Sooners looked awfully incompetent last year. This quarterback from Washington State is going to be the savior? I'm calling bullshit. 6-6.
  15. If he wants to play school, he can finish his degree on his own terms. He made all A's taking 24 hours in a semester across 2 different schools, I'm pretty sure he can transfer to an even better school if he really wanted to. Assuming everything his helicopter mom says is true about that academic record..... If he wants to play ball, I imagine there's a way for him to join the minor leagues and get a look at this skills? Assuming he's willing to work for it like his mama says he is? I'm not sure what the problem here i$.
  16. Kobe wasn't even a Top 10 pick, don't think he got to dictate anything to anyone.
  17. I absolutely thought they could, and absolutely think they still have more to go. Project 2025 is in full swing, and Stephen Miller leads our nation's efforts to reshape the country in his image.
  18. Yeah all I see outside of Flagg in the TOP 5 is SG, SG/PG, etc. We have Fox, and we have the reigning ROY Castle. We aren't using the #2 pick on another guard. I'm seeing a lot of flexibility with that #2 pick if we think someone else might need a guard more than we do. Or we just go get Giannis. Who knows. The possibilities are endless. And fuck the Mavs.
  19. No Flagg but damn I feel tons better about the coming off-season compared to an hour ago.
  20. Hahahaha from the moment they announced Dallas in the Top 4 you just knew the fix was in.
  21. Come on dammit. I don't have the Pop or Duncan candle but I lit a random one anyway. Virgencita por favor.....
  22. I've been noticing this in the Gen Z demographic. Sportsmanship is changing with the times, and unfortunately some of our fans will get left behind to bitch into the void of the internet (surly). You watch basketball and see how acceptable it is now, everybody has a "signature" celebration now. There are no more enforcers, it's just accepted. Older baseball fans will talk about beaning people the next time up like when they played Little League in the 80s, but these kids don't give half a shit as much as the fans, they just want to talk shit when it's their turn. Those days of retribution outside of the playing field/court are fading fast.
  23. Shit, so if the first card isn't Hawks, we're guaranteed a Top 4 pick just like that? Let's go then....

    2025 ACL

    Yeah nah. Had a very decent time last year, and this lineup is so void of even 2nd-tier acts I'd like to see that I'm at a loss for a way for them to convince me to go. The only combo I think I can see my springing a day pass for is if Pierce the Veil and Doechii are on the same day. 19-28 year old white girls are running this world. We just live in it.
  25. What a fucking fight. The kid from SA wasn't ready to go, he had some fight mentally, but his body wasn't reciprocating that fire. Inoue broke him down, even though it felt like the body was there for the taking if the kid would've just committed to it. His best moments were countering and hitting the body. Inoue is for real, can't hate on that. But he was at least given a fight tonight and was overwhelmed a few times in the fight, just never gave in to the pressure and kept on his front foot.
