  1. Blowing out shitty teams inflates your metrics for sure (as long as you arent losing to them). And it also doesn't wear you down physically or mentally. You can go like 2-4 against the 6 teams you play all year worth a shit but if you win almost all the rest and beat crappy teams by 30 or 40 you're punching your ticket.
  2. Yep. You aren't paying for the sex - you're paying her to leave afterwards.
  3. Wonder if Bud gets another job after this. Didn't realize PHO gave him 5 for $50M. Jesus that front office is fucking stupid.
  4. https://awfulannouncing.com/mls/exec-says-league-needs-end-apple-deal.html
  5. I want to know more. Random act of violence? Drug related? Politically motivated?
  6. Texas: 1836-1865
  7. Why is Fox still playing games? Also just saw that Sochan didn't play. Explains how they found a way to lose against a shitty Mavs team. Maybe shut him down for the season too. I'm kind of done with this team until they show me something at this point. It's been six years since we made the playoffs. I get that Wemby got medically sidelined to close this season but they were playing garbage basketball leading up to that and would have been lucky to make the playoffs anyway. There is pretty clearly dysfunction in this org just not sure where the majority of it lies. We'll see if they figure something out in the offseason - because regardless of a full Wemby-recovery shit needs to change.
  8. Gonzaga looks wholly underwhelming. That they are top 10 in both NET and kenpom likely showcases flaws in the grading ability of those metrics.
  9. Dude what the fuck are you talking about. We all love ET3 - he's arguably the best defensive back to ever lace them up for Texas - but the guy is pretty clearly a little fucked in the head and it's not like he wasn't eccentric when he was playing at a high level. I hope he gets the help he needs and can get his life back in order but that's not the type of dude that Texas football needs hanging around the program right now.
  10. Damn - you missed a fun one. Y'all looked great and OKC looked slightly vulnerable but DEN hit a bunch of 3s late that won't always go in and J Will left at half which maybe made the 2nd half adjustments messy (for OKC). Still - overall - not feeling like OKC can't be beat in the playoffs. I'll probably be watching that MIN tilt Wednesday. *Also Chet wasn't good. If he can find some form and be a real 2nd option at times in the playoffs it could push OKC over the edge.
  11. It's not like either one is great on D, though. Offense is the only way to compare the two. Yeah I'm going to disagree. I think Ant is a much better man defender and plays with more intensity and passion which is what you need in the playoffs. Advanced stats don't like Ant just like they didn't like Kobe because they are messy, megalomaniac players. SGA is a pretty-stats player and while he is fantastic all-around I still want to see him prove it when shit bogs down and gets messy and the regular season advanced stuff goes out the window. He hasn't done that yet in his career. I think he can do it this year and he has a phenomenal supporting cast. Excited to watch it play out.
  12. Well we aren't to win games, so, thanks? It's funny for the dumpster-fire Suns, though.
  13. SGA is far more consistent. Yeah on offense I guess. In a 7 game series you don't have to be super consistent though. I'd like to see OKC make the Finals I'm just curious to see how it plays out. There are some fucking dogs lurking out there.
  14. Like - let me pose this Q to the board - going into the playoffs in the Western Conference - would you rather have SGA or Ant? Everything else on your team equal.
  15. Yeah well they aren't doubling Hartenstein. I'll buy OKC in the Finals when I see it. The idea that no one can take them to 6 or 7 games is silly. They don't have a ton of "fuck you" energy - and J Dub going out at half messed them up on O. But some of this is just the current NBA and the inherent variance in how many 3s everyone takes. Denver had a bunch of role guys that just couldn't miss from 3 there for a bit.
  16. Nuggets can't miss from 3. Up 14 now - 125-111. Game is too big for Isaiah Joe right now. He's fucking killing OKC.
  17. Denver with a great 3Q. Anyone not watching this one is missing out. 101-99 Nugs headed to the 4th. Also - the idea that OKC just hums along without SGA and Denver falls apart without Jokic is ridiculous. Nuggets double teamed SGA the entire 3rd quarter and kept hanging around and then finally made a little mini-run to take the lead back when SGA went to the bench for a couple mins. OKC's offense is TOTALLY different without him on the floor - and all of the advanced plus/minus shit bears that out. Dunks and Threes EPM (which is maybe my favorite all-encompassing advanced metric right now) has SGA and Jokic virtually tied right now on the season with a big gap between them and the rest of the top 5.
  18. No I wouldn't be okay with less. I think a change is needed. I know. Just clarifying my position. Few would be a good hire I would just have a couple reservations. Same if we hired Self, honestly. But I don't see that happening.
  19. No J Dub for the 2nd half. SGA still canning transition 3s however.
  20. Real Ale Hop Sprocket. Someone may have recently posted it upthread? Very good. HEB had it for $9.50 for a 6.
  21. Denver fighting but OKC is just so damn good. Jok and SGA have exchanged a couple blows - Jokic especially playing his fucking ass off. 73-67 Thunder at half. Bro maybe he's just injured. How many conspiracies do we need about a 2-4 week groin injury for a 40 year old.
  22. Text I just sent to my brothers and dad group text.
  23. Good one so far. Nugs up 49-43. Jok and SGA both quiet so far.
