  1. I like Cryer’s game. Confident shooter, good defender, rebounds really well from the point guard spot. Probably shorter than you’d want. Doesn’t get to the basket well against plus defenses. I think he can have a pro career, but he’s probably a stand in the corner and hit threes guy.
  2. I’m cautious about this film. Several hours into Vineland, and it’s weirder than Inherent Vice, another Pynchon novel. If it’s a faithful adaptation, it probably will be I believe PTA and Pynchon are tight, I’m not confident it will be well received by a main stream audience. PTA is one of the best, so maybe he can thread a Big Lebowski needle here. You’re not paying Leo to make a cult classic. I hope it’s good. The Ringer movie people saw additional footage at CinemaCon, and they said it was better than the trailer which they didn’t care for. Leo did make an in person appearance. He’s probably not dragging himself off his yacht if he thought the movie sucked.
  3. U of H’s best prospect? I haven’t watched them much this season.
  4. Sharpe has the worst footwork I’ve ever seen ina volume 3 point shooter. It’s amazing every time one goes for him.
  5. I think chickensandwich and aqua can both be right here. If Castle could shoot, the pick is a no brainer. Reed measured 6’1.75” at the combine. I think the plan was for Reed to eventually replace FVV, not necessarily play them together. I do think either would struggle to make the rotation. That’s not to say the Rockets are so good/deep that couldn’t use a ROY contender. Ime low key hates rookies. Also Holiday is technically the back up PG, and he barely plays as the 9th and final rotational player. They’re a very forward heavy team.
  6. Feels like the Nuggets got cute after the TWolves double OT loss + Murray injury and this thing quickly jumped the tracks. Simmons is somewhat right. The double OT loss + resting all of their starters against the Spurs was catastrophic. I doubt we’ll ever know for sure, but did the front office or Malone order resting their starters? I think they’ll be fine if healthy and stay in the 4/5 seed. Falling to 6, and playing the Lakers wouldn’t be ideal. The Grizz seem to be disarray. As a Rockets fan, I hope they emerge as the 7/8 winner.
  7. The blonde white slave was the best looking woman on the show. I hope we see her again in the Sheridan-Verse.
  8. So the French Dispatch 2. Awesome(?)
  9. I’d be careful with Amen and FVV this week. Something is off with FVV. It might not be a bad idea to sit him until the playoffs. I hope OKC snaps out of it and beats the Lakers on Tuesday.
  10. Spencer would put Dr. Manhattan to shame in Nam.
  11. Has 1944 been confirmed? I’d rather the show be set after the war. Every man being away, and all female characters in Sheridan’s hands should worry everyone.
  12. Sure they’re going to get open looks, but DFS and Gilbert aren’t going to knock down 6-7 treys in a row like they have this past week. 80% from 3 isn’t sustainable.
  13. The Lakers did the same shit against the Rockets. Finney-Smith and Gilbert had 40 points off the bench. They have some legitimate shooters, but they can’t keep this clip up.
  14. Gotdamn! What a finale. Walk off home run.
  15. Again, Sheridan does great with movies. Imagine the finale is a 1923 film. It works. Everybody loves it. No frustrations.
  16. Playing like shit and won a series. I’ll take it.
  17. Yep. Very iffy if Georgia tagged him. Thankfully it didn’t cost us the game.
  18. The finale is 1 hour 52 minutes. So basically a movie. I’ll take it.

    El T still slams. I hate literally everything about them, but their food is good. Beef fajitas came out nice and rare. All the fixings were on point. Best house margaritas in the city. They overcharged us a smidge, but I didn’t care because it was such a good meal. It’s not an every week treat, but I recommend blowing it out at El T once or twice a year.
  20. I’m really happy for U of H. A coworker’s son is on the team and we’ve been pulling for them as an office. Pretty cool.
  21. Ego fucking killed!
  22. Sherman is a piece of ass with a wig and make up. Shocked face.
  23. Since we’ll never be relevant in hoops, let’s go Cougs!
