  1. Dave Franco giving a de facto James Franco performance was a clever wink.
  2. The things we do for love. I spent my evening laying down 40 feet of cinderblocks after yet another puppy digging incident. Every crack and gap is sealed. I could have been a mason.
  3. Hiring Moser would be the funniest shit since well, Schloss leaving. I hope it happens.
  4. A friend saw a blurb today that finale will be “close to 2 hours”. So at least we have that going for us.
  5. The Ringer’s dedicated NBA show is the Mismatch. The host lives in Memphis. lol
  6. I hate that the goodnight/credits “controversies” have become a thing. It was all started with Chappelle doing absolutely nothing wrong and jumping on stage last year. Reddit body language experts chasing clout made a big deal out of nothing, and now it’s probably the second most closely watched part of the show behind the monologue. Bravo to SNL’s social media team if they played a part in holding people’s attention after Weekend Update.
  7. Houston leads the league in back to backs. Also lead the league in ejections. The NBA office doesn’t like us very much.
  8. I’d say we just got flat beat tonight, but the game plan was horrible. FVV is a tough SOB, but LeBron and Luka can shoot over him with ease. JJ schemed that switch way too many times and they did it more when they figured out Houston wouldn’t send help. Offensive plan wasn’t much better. At a minimum they could have tired out LeBron taking everything to the rim. When he was out of the game, Jalen and Amen should have attacked the basket on every possession. Reaves and Luka are turnstiles and they lack a true rim protector. To their credit, they have some bigs that move OK, get in the way, and foul like crazy on shot attempts. I’d say they’re well coached on defense and play hard, but man they have to give maximum effort every night to overcome 2 starters being extremely limited on defense. I’d call the Lakers a bad match up. Playoff Luka + Brooks getting in his own head every time he sees purple and gold will not end well for us.
  9. The Lakers bring out the worst version of Brooks. Jacking threes early in the shot clock, fade away after fade away. He should be the 4th option on offense at best. But he more shots than Segun tonight.
  10. Segun is playing like Shit. Sure he’s getting bumped, but he must finish at the rim. He’s playing against a team that is undersized with below league average post defenders. It’s just going to get harder from here. WTF in the plan on defense? LeBron posts FVV with Luka on the bench, and no Rockets run over to help.
  11. We’re up 20 if not for Vincent and Smith hitting every 3.
  12. LeBron bitches about the call, doesn’t get back on D. Never change.
  13. Gotta take it to the rim on every possession. The Lakers don’t have anybody that can block a shot other than LeBron.
  14. I think the national guys need to slow down the Lakers postseason hype train. LeBron basically has to do everything at the rim on defense + initiate the offense when Luka wants to take a 20 minute break. This is not a sustainable model for a 40 year old in. 7 game series.
  15. JJ can coach. To get us completely out of our offense with dogshit defenders like Luka and Reaves is pretty impressive.
  16. And he can’t shoot… again. 2022 could be an outlier.
  17. The Ringer’s NBA guy is for some reason based in Memphis. He said on Simmons’ show today it was performance based. Memphis hasn’t been playing well for a long time/they were concerned everybody perceived them as an easy out in the playoffs.
  18. Sure, but they’d have to get another team involved to send back salary to the Suns. As long as we have a first round pick/swap every year, I’m cool with it. Green + picks for Booker would be a mistake. Booker would take at least a season to learn how to play defense again. And as others have pointed out, he’ll turn 29 in October.
  19. Heat 2 is a terrific book. The Chicago stuff is awesome. That said, I agree with Joad and md, it would cost a fortune to adapt correctly. It might make sense to break into 2 parts, the prequel and sequel. Hopefully WB sells it to Netflix so it actually gets made.
  20. This. They used Mikey as a dumb adolescent girl in every sketch. She just won an Oscar, obviously she has more range than that. I think Sweeney did so well because the writers made every joke about her breasts and she played along. Mikey, while attractive, doesn’t have a singular physical trait they can build sketches around. These writers are very, very simple. Every young male host is 90 minutes of how hot he is and the female cast members fawning over him. There’s some pearl clutching conspiracy bullshit about Wallen walking off stage abruptly during the credits. Non issue to me, but you never know with Lorne. Based on his social media, Wallen had a plane to catch. I believe he’s working on his sobriety, so he likely wanted no part of the SNL after party.
  21. After reading about people lining up on 290 at 3am for Garrison Bros distillery releases, I came up with a solution to most of our problems: Stop by the distillery or store and pick up your raffle ticket. The distillery/store holds a drawing online. If your number is picked, they set up an appointment for you to pick up your bottle. No crazy lines. No camp out bullshit. Just a logical system.
  22. Next week is the series finale right? Everything online indicates 7 episodes. I predict a bad ass shoot out in the Livingston where Bronn dies. Timothy Dalton’s submissive escapes, and he bails to avoid a trial/public shame. Final scene will be Alex and Spence reuniting in the snow, Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren crack wise, roll credits.
