  1. Derek has the perfect personality for the husband of a harpy wife. He’s my North Star.
  2. Holy shit. Scott Drew? He is the Bill McCartney of college basketball. A slimy recruiter dressed up in a christofascist package. We aren’t touching that. And I don’t want that dweeb coaching my team anyway, even if he is some kind of Rain Man basketball genius. Which he isn’t. Stop it. Was an entertaining last page, though.
  3. This show is really well done. Not getting enough love.
  4. This show is Emmy worthy and probably not getting enough love. The subtle love letter to Houston is icing on the cake. Reminds me of the best episodes of Louie and far superior to Master of None which had a similar vibe and I also liked. And Mo Amer is fucking funny, too.
  5. Schroeder to Detroit, lol. He and PJ should compare travel...
  6. Cody fucking Zeller? Had no idea he was still in the league. We have to be flipping that salary for.... something? Edited to add..... apparently Atlanta needed to dump that contract and we take our second back for taking it on? OK? NBA trades are weird.
  7. I like the spirit but it has to be FVV to make salaries work. This worked in the trade machine. Don’t necessarily want to do it but it’s fun: Rockets get: Lonzo Ball, Kevin Durant Suns get: Brooks, Vucevic Bulls get: Van Vleet Sprinkle picks to balance things out. Voila!
  8. 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.
  9. 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>
  10. 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.

    Austin FC

    Still pretty thin at CB, no?
  12. None of that matters. They are going to do what they want. Congress wont stop them and the courts can’t.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Garland had Rockets on money line?
  17. 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.
  18. Spoilers just in case….. Loved it otherwise.
  19. Chappelle on this week, I believe. Followed by Chalamet….. as host and musical guest. Yo, you cappin’.
  20. 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.
  21. I just watched the last episode. He figures it out via conversations with his sister and BIL while at the book reading party.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
