  1. GSW needs 1 at home to get to Game 6. Surely Jimmy has a 40 point in him. His 3’s unfortunately started falling in Game 7 against the Rockets and he was already shooting 10+ free throw a game. Ant is still developing his taste for blood, I think Game 6 happens.
  2. While gripped by the Thursday scaries, I’m enjoying some JD Single Malt. Y’all keep walking by it on the shelf.
  3. Yeah LA, New York, and Miami is superstar boilerplate bullshit. I miss Woj.
  4. Big Drive-Away Dolls fan?
  5. I think White POTUS II is a lock. They probably won’t push the envelope, but they one of the greatest method actors alive on set this week. Take some shots.
  6. Yep. Chris Evans needs to go away for awhile. I don’t think he right for a Coen, albeit a diminished Coen, movie.
  7. The decline of 247 Sports has been shocking to watch. This might be their nadir.
  8. The rumors are Giannis wants to play in New York, LA, or Miami. https://www.si.com/nba/nets/news/report-new-york-teams-among-giannis-antetokounmpo-preferred-trade-destinations I believe the Nets have the best trade assets out of all of those teams.
  9. I think Ime would be pro FVV 3 year extension. Not sure where Stone stands, but I think he’d favor salary flexibility. As the Locked On Rockets guy has cleverly pointed out, FVV was supposed to be a band aid until Jalen Green could run the offense. That obviously won’t be happening. 1) Resign Adams 2) Trade Green 3) Sign a plus WAR veteran shooting guard on a short term deal. 4) Draft Tre Johnson or Fears, and actually play them as rookies. They need to be ready to start in Year 2. 5) Team option on FVV. 6) Trade for Durant. That’s probably a 55 win team that can multiple playoff series.
  10. Will Simmons do an emergency pod or hide until Friday? My money is on Friday with an intro riddled with non-Celtics excuses. “House and I went to a late dinner” or “Chris Ryan and I stayed up late to work on our White Squall Rewatchable”.
  11. Well reasoned. I was trying to remember Hidalgo’s name. Apparently, the guy is the living, breathing Star Wars Encyclopedia.
  12. To Kennedy’s credit, she brought Gilroy in to fix Rogue One, and got him in the door at Lucasfilm. Jon and Dave sure as shit couldn’t fix that script.
  13. Allegedly the Gilroy side doesn’t really communicate with the Filoni/Favreau side. Gilroy has never brought them up in several long interviews on The Ringer. There’s even some “not my Star Wars” bullshit out there in the Filoni-Verse. Could be idle industry gossip, I mean who knows with Lucasfilm after the Kennedy retirement/not retirement mystery, but it’s plausible. Jon has said there’s no Andor without Mando’s success, and Dave gave it a half assed, back handed compliment. Reading between the lines, Dave thinks Star Wars is for kids and seems resistant to “adult Star Wars”. Hopefully Gilroy gets his Death Troopers project made, Ahsoka Season 2 and the Mando movie are good, and the 2 sides can coexist.
  14. I had lunch with a friend that just got in under the wire at XOM. 5 years as a contractor, overcame some personal shit, and now finally an employee. His entire department is expecting a raise in October. I’m really happy for him. Good time to be at a big shop to ride this shit out.
  15. ESPN’s number seems low, right?
  16. Anybody got the Ghorman National Anthem they played at the end of S2 E8? Beautiful song and lovely vocal performance.
  17. Yep. I think we’ll see her in some final montage in Episode 12 looking up at the sky or something, but that’s it.
  18. Diego Luna is going to win an Oscar. What he can he do with just facial expressions is elite. It feels like Andor Season 2 will get him the Emmy he should have won for Narcos: Mexico.
  19. Heartbreaking.
  20. I’d talk to the Bucks. That front office is deeply regarded and fucking Jimmy Haslam is the majority owner. Stone might, I said might be able to pull off a highway robbery. This organization traded Jrue Holiday, a first, and 2 pick swaps for Lillard.
  21. Did the Please Don’t Destroy film not make the show? I believe it was in the dress rehearsal.
  22. Denise Gough is completely bangable in real life. I did not see that coming.
  23. I’d look for Bulleit 12 before buying Prideful Goat. I just think Bulleit has it dialed in on MGP rye.
  24. The aforementioned couple either has a generous expense account or they’re regarded. I’ll defend the Zaza bar for martinis and pizza but they are not cheap. The 8 Row Flint guy should be publicly shamed for his pricing. They were closed during Covid and I tried to help them out by buying a couple picks. The son of a bitch wanted $300 for a Four Roses pick. I still like the place, but it’s a margarita bar that apes as a bourbon bar. Other the specials at Trash Panda, I can’t think of any place in Houston with reasonably priced pours.
