  1. I think the Rockets are figuring it out. Amen should take it to the basket more, but he’d probably prefer Alpie to facilitate the offense and catch back door cuts all game. I’d like Ime to explore Amen with the ball in his hands more when Alpie sits. There’s something possibly elite there and Amen needs to flesh it out before he can integrate it with Alpie. I assume KD wants the ball more. Right now he’s the closer and bails out the offense with iso buckets when it stalls out. Given the offensive systems he’s excelled in, he probably wants to see more movement and flow. A win at GSW without Durant would certainly be a good barometer.
  2. Stockon made 5 All NBA Defense teams, and his steals record is widely regarded as the most untouchable record in pro basketball. So again not making the comparison. One of the hoops head podcasts suggested Reed devour hours of Stockon tape of him just be a dirty son of a bitch. That’s why I thought of it. I don’t think it’s out of the question Reed can lead the league in steals 1 season, and he’s an elite shot blocker for his size. Quick leaper and he times it well.
  3. Holiday is on a vet minimum deal and he’s doing the Aaron Gordon thing where he’s getting better as he approaches 30.
  4. Suns can defend and they play hard. They feel like a pain in the ass play in team. Brooks will earn his check if that happens.
  5. I almost pity Tate. 2 wings out and the Rockets front office says nah we’re good. We’ll play 3 small guards at once and send his ass down to The Valley.
  6. Brooks picking up his 5th foul on a push in the back off a miss is on brand.
  7. With so many guys out they can’t hide him on defense. I’d match him up with 3 and D guys. They’re just standing in the corner jacking 3’s. Deny the ball, stay in the passing lanes. Asking him to stay in front Booker or Gillespie isn’t going to work. That said he’s smaller so he can get away with a ton of the grabs and holds. I’m not comparing him to Stockon, but he could learn quite a bit from him especially on defense. Crafty defender with active hands is about all we can hope for.
  8. Loving Reed’s moxie. Go ahead and hunt him bitches. He’s going to live in your passing lanes and get a hand on everything.
  9. Brooks is averaging 21 ppg, what in the fuck?!
  10. What? Durant and Tari are out, who the hell is going to play wing? Surely they’re just going to call him right back up.
  11. Booze perhaps if a rat didn’t fall in the vat or if they didn’t use tobacco spit or something grosser than that for coloring. Granted everything would have been hand made, and without steel. A lot of theories out there that bourbon mash tastes better in a wooden vat because it’s going in and out of the wood. And well everything tastes better when it’s made by hand. I believe you need petroleum fuel to synthesize cocaine. I’d imagine they were chewing on coca leaves like crazy though.
  12. My rankings of the cheap 100 proof bourbons. 1) OF100 2) Tom Moore BiB 3) Benchmark Bonded As Bert outlined in some previous posts, Tom Moore BiB is an outstanding value pick. It’s a handle of 1792 BiB for $22. I think you’d have to work for Barton to tell the difference in a blind tasting.
  13. I think almost any bartender would recommend 100 proof bourbons for cocktails. You might as well buy OF100 it’s only $8-9 more than 86. Jackie Zykan let it slip once that tbeh blend 8 year distillate in OF100. It’s excellent.
