  1. Big game tonight, fellas. At least - as big as they can be in November. Lakers -3.5 which I think is a tad high after we just covered twice at home - also considering we are above them in both SRS (12th vs. 15th) and net rtg (14th vs. 16th) on the season. I'm not used to having a bang-average NBA team - it's been awhile. Just need to weather whatever horrible lineups we come up with involving Branham and/or ZC. Really wish we would give Wesley and Mamu/Bassey respectively more run in those guys' stead but what do I know I'm just some asshole on the internet.

    Maybe. I think we bag 2 or 3 on a better pitch. Agree a 6 is crazy. He put in an 8 shift. Unless you blame him for the pen but, you know, he did save it. Thought he, CP and McKenzie were our best players.
  3. See I always thought it was panther brisket they sold. Kind of a confusing name tbh.
  4. It wasn't the 2000 team it was the 1999 team that played them in a bowl game in 2000 and yes the '99 team WAS pretty shitty outside of a huge regular season upset against Nebraska. We were fine in '03 (minus the 50 point loss to OU) - Arkansas was pretty good that year too.

    LOL this pitch is a joke. Fucking bush league organization.
  6. Not as impressive as LeBron whoring out his son to make a bunch of headlines.
  7. Yeah no shit we all know that. Between what he's doing not being anywhere near sustainable and seeing his kid on the bench I'm not exactly pro-LeBron this season. Bronny should have gotten 3-4 years in college to enjoy his life and find himself. Instead - his dad forced him on to the team to set some first that you'd have to be a monkey to care about and is now preening around on a crappy Lakers team. Yes it's amazing that he's this good at basketball at 40. It's frankly unbelievable. The fashion in which he's doing it is fucking lame and, well, I guess it's the most LeBron thing ever.
  8. Man this LeBron dick sucking sesh on ESPN is wild. Saying "the older he gets, the more efficient he gets on offense" is fucking laughable. Then they flash that he's scored or assisted on 31 of their 55 so far. So like half their points? Okay.
  9. I was meh on it the first watch. Liked it the second watch. It gets better literally every time I watch it - which, for me - is a hallmark of a great film. I'm not sure I like it better than There Will Be Blood but I'm totally fine with it taking Best Picture that year.
  10. Branham finishes with a -22 in a 9 point win in 13 minutes. Meanwhile Wesley is a +9 in 13 minutes. Can anyone explain what's going on to me because this is turning into one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen an NBA team continue to double-down on. Is the dude playing like fucking Kobe in practice? Did he get a copy of the Epstein list with a bunch of Spurs execs on it? He's kind of a crafty scorer but isn't great from 3 and can't play a motherfucking lick of defense. Let alone run an NBA offense.
  11. Seriously that's fucking bush league. CP is so perfect for this team, honestly. Him talking shit after they lose that challenge while draining 2 throws is *chef's kiss*.
  12. I love Jeremy so fucking much. Put that loser Poole in his place.
  13. That's not a foul. Bad, late whistle by that chick. Ball is out of JoVal's hands before any of the contact. What I don't understand about challenges - why is the person that made the shitty call allowed to sit there and defend it. Leave it to the other 2 refs and maybe a league rep sitting in a booth somewhere.
  14. Not only did Wemby put up 50 - we have a little squad going - boys. We were 15th in net rating coming in to tonight (a spot ahead of the pinche Lakers). We'll see where this game winds up but it will likely keep that # going in the right direction. Would love to make a little noise in the play-in. Also I hate how right I was about putting ZC and Branham back in. Holy shit those guys suck.
  15. LOL what did I say. "Washington hanging around still" Yeah they're playing 4 on 5 on O. That was a nice runner he hit though.
  16. Well he could hit 50 easy but now we're up 21. Put Branham and Collins back in for 90 seconds WAS will get it down to 8.
  17. That's a foul but I love that transition D from Castle. Take a chance - see what the ref calls - and make him earn it from the line if you pick up a whistle. And he misses both! LOL Fuck me this kid has some special potential.
  18. He's probably looking around at the rest of the team like "Um, hey, you guys realize these dudes have no fucking game, right?".
  19. This is the perfect example of a game where Sochan being out is killing us. We aren't playing with any intensity or grit and letting the worst team in the league do whatever they want on O. Fortunately they are shitty enough that we should still be able to BS our way to a win. Need a run to get some separation. Also Wemby might go for 50.
  20. 67 at half to the worst offensive team in the league. Nice work guys.
  21. Branham was a -15 in 5 mins. We've been tortured enough already for fuck's sake. I don't care if he had a nice jam he's undersized and can't play defense or point guard. Unless he starts scoring like Lou Will or Jamal Crawford the experiment needs to end.
