  1. So Nico Harrison was afraid a trade would get scuttled because everyone finds out about it? I thought the Adelsons were surely involved, but either Nico is willing to martyr himself for the Adelsons or this was truly his brainchild. I am a Rockets fan, so, you know, whatever, but I still cannot get over not shopping him to at least ONE other team. But in all honesty, valuing secrecy over a better trade haul is just plain dumb.
  2. Does Cuban have a non-disparagement in the sale agreement? Waiting for him to weigh in. Adelsons likely going all America First, I guess, given Kleber in the trade, too. <ducks>
  3. So I watched episode 1 and had no idea about the premise. Maybe I wish I had because I rolled my eyes at end. Seems like another Dome or modern day Silo or something. I would have much preferred a mystery about an ex pres and the Secret Service agent that hates/likes him and that relationship in past and present while at same time solving the mystery. I will stick it out a few episodes but not sure yet whether it will work for me.

    Still pretty thin at CB, no?
  5. None of that matters. They are going to do what they want. Congress wont stop them and the courts can’t.
  6. Londale and Tate with a 2nd or two for Cam Johnson? Looking at 3pt percentage leaders, you get all the way down to him for someone that fits that mold on a team that isn’t contending. I presume Nets can get something better than that from another team.
  7. Was at the game. What a blast.... - It's probably up thread but how long is Kaluma out for? He's the "adult in the room" on this team. We are just way better when he is on the floor. - Loved that Larry got the block on #4. #4 was talking shit all game and Larry shut him up. Like that kid.. - That said, someone upthread questioned why he wasn't getting minutes. It's because he is a liability on offense. He is sophomore year Steve Wojo... He can pass and defend, but won't dribble past the Wojo wall (as we used to call it (gulp) 30 years ago). The next time Larry drives to the bucket will be the first time. - Tre, like in the Tennessee game, was better than everyone else on the court. Once he got loose a bit and figured things out. 8-10 gets us in. I honestly want to move on from Terry and I hope there is a bit of realpolitik barring a Sweet 16 or better run to allow us to go get the next guy. But I also want to make the tourney and we should be above the line with this game. Win 5 of Arky 2x, OU, Vandy, SoCar, LSU, Georgia, Ms St., and/or pick up a win in one of the other games and we are in.
  8. Yeah I enjoyed it until the last episode. Maybe they are setting up a second season with Zina as a main character. I dunno. Ending felt rushed and choppy.
  9. This is the stretch where the whole of the NBA believes we'll come back down to earth. This loss didn't help. Just go get one of the Cleveland games to make up for it.
  10. Spoilers just in case….. Loved it otherwise.
  11. Chappelle on this week, I believe. Followed by Chalamet….. as host and musical guest. Yo, you cappin’.
  12. Notwithstanding above post, I would do that in a heartbeat. PHX would be dumb not to at least require Jabari if not Amen or Tari.
  13. I just watched the last episode. He figures it out via conversations with his sister and BIL while at the book reading party.
  14. What if I told you that Jabari Smith going out just unlocked Jalen Green/Sengun/Amen as a viable top 3 and we don’t need Butler or Durant? We aren’t beating the Thunder this year. so let’s not take on $50m a year for 2-3 years. I won’t shit on a pick swap back + players for Durant or Booker. But I am willing to see just how far this team can get in playoffs. No one in the west scares me other than OKC and weirdly Golden State who might not make the play in. Our place in the standings validates this. Go win 54 and get a 2 or 3 seed and see how the chips fall in the playoffs. We will learn a lot about these guys in the playoffs that we don’t have a clue about now. Hope we have more Jimmy Butlers and fewer Demar Derozans but who is to know until they grind out a series or two.
  15. I remember telling my friend’s mom in second grade I wanted to watch this movie and I repeated the catch phrase on the cover which I’d seen at the local pre-Blockbuster rental store. I had no idea what it meant. Did not go well.
  16. Rock DJ. When I was studying in London in 2003 we’d go to that upstairs pub in Covent Garden occasionally. They had a video jukebox. I’d always put that video on 5x repeat on my way out. I was cool.
  17. Fuck that noise. The respect isn’t being given from the other side. They don’t deserve a respectful tone in response. Gloves are off per their own rules. Stop pearl clutching.
  18. Counter... The Leftovers and The Watchmen..... although I do not think Damon Lindelof is involved in this.
  19. I was parroting the prior posts. Boring isn’t a good adjective. I’ve really enjoyed Tre this year. And notwithstanding his bad game against TN, like Kaluma as well. But rest of team is just lacking any identity.
  20. It sucks this team is so boring because I really like our top 2 guys (Johnson, Kaluma). Pope had a decent game against TN, but he and Larry are just completely outclassed in this league. I don't understand why Larry is on the court with under 2 minutes left, even with Weaver out. Tre was the best player on the court Saturday. We did a great job on Lanier. They just had more dudes than us (specifically Dubar and Gainey coming off the bench). If we are average from 3 or even a little worth, we win.
  21. Took me a minute to notice that was Kim Coates as Brigham Young. I don't think I've ever seen him play a role like that. He's always some version of the guy he played in Sons of Anarchy.
  22. It’s super grim but I am enjoying it. LDS has to hate it.
