  1. Nah. They were leading the league in adjusted net rating going into tonight. They probably should have handed OKC a loss in the first game of the season. They aren't some plucky upstart. I think their window is this season and next with KD. They may be a year away but Durant doesn't look like he has 2 more elite years in the tank after this season. Then they probably pivot to a different timeline with Amen, JSJ, Sengun. They'd easily be the favorite to make the Finals in the East. The Spurs are who are a year or two away.
  2. Just saw this on my ig. Fucking insane. SMU has a nice little squad - I need to start tuning in.
  3. What is there to learn about? They haven't played anybody since Duke. Marquette has played 3 real games already (and lost all of them). That's why this thread has more traction. You are on such a bizarre crusade with this shit. When the Texas/Arkansas game thread only has 27 posts then I'll admit that you had a point. Do you think we're all like - watching these Marquette games? I've watched one college game start to finish this season and Texas played in it. I don't care if Texas is good or bad Shaka can always go fuck himself.
  4. Rockets have some work to do still - but I think they knew that already. No AG or Braun for Denver. Then again JSJ and Sengun were both bad. Durant is old ☹️ Imagine if you paired him with Dybansta. New Orleans is such a stupid fucking franchise.
  5. He's a Ranger legend but I'm glad we let him walk. Curious to see where he winds up and if a change of scenery can fix any of his issues at the plate. I wish Jonah and Sborz well, too. We'll always have '23.
  6. They didn't actually rerank the entire draft the question was if you'd rather have Sheppard or Risacher. I'm thinking (now) they meant if you had to rerank the guys that went top 3. Risacher had a really nice rookie season he may just be sophomore slumping or had a particularly bad game.
  7. I blame Steve Ballmer for that nonsense.
  8. Great listen. They both give Houston flowers. Lowe was great all episode - they both check each other on their BS. I think they just forgot about him.
  9. Sabonis is an above-average starting center and that's about it. He ain't saving that team. Lavine is a fucking loser. I don't know who would want him and his contract but there are still some really dumb GMs in the league. Demar is like 40 years old. They're likely going to have to eat both of those contacts. At least Westbrook is having fun.
  10. I think you need Amen to turn the corner with his offense a bit. He has struggled to make a consistent impact scoring and playmaking in some of these games and it puts a ton of pressure on KD and Sengun. You're still winning because that's just how good those two guys are. Not smoking open layups would be a start. I like Holiday - certainly more than Okogie. He's just small.
  11. You're not kidding. 41 points to a crappy Grizzlies team? How does that even happen.
  12. I know BKN turned into a shitshow but they did play well together when they shared the floor. Not that it's relevant since if you called Houston and tried to give them Kyrie for Sengun they'd hang up the phone.
  13. Didn't watch tonight. I like how these guys continue to TCB. Really nice rebound from those two Ws games. Fox is playing like an all-star again and the glue guys are gluing. I still think we have work to do to contend in the West and look some of these other teams eye-to-eye but the foundation is looking good. These next four will be another litmus test - Phoenix and Portland don't suck and DEN and Minny are obviously WCF contenders. Steal one or two of those and we should be fine - we just need to keep winning at home and against shit teams until some of the cavalry returns. We will all just pretend that Sochan didn't go 0/5 from 3 tonight - although I like the 5 dimes, 0 turns and just 1 foul.
  14. They should shit on OKC's offense since Houston leads them in both offensive rating and overall adjusted net rating.
  15. What is your guy plugged into? A meth pipe?
