  1. Not happening tonight. The officiating will doom us. Please stop me if that’s happened before.
  2. Okogie is the worst finisher in the league? If there’s a body that’s alive and moving to contend the lay up, he will miss it.
  3. Tate is ass cheeks. There’s not another side of the argument.
  4. Sheppard balling. Capela going full on 2015 is pretty wild.
  5. Goddamnit ESPN. Stop this shit. You know the average NBA game is 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours. The hubris of trying to jam 3 NBA games into 4pm to 11pm window is deeply stupid.
  6. Happy Blackout Wednesday to all that celebrate.
  7. Yours truly called it.
  8. Some cool stuff from E4: - The actor that performed CPR on Zosia was the on set EMT that saved Odenkirk’s life while filming the last season of Better Call Saul. Incredible to think about. If the EMT had been at lunch or something, we don’t get one of the best turns in television history and a brilliant performer dies way too soon. Awesome move by our guy VG to honor a hero on Pluribus. - Rhea Seahorn was present when Odenkirk’s widow maker heart attack hit. She was watched as the EMT saved his life. So I’d say she knew exactly what to do in Zosia’s scene.
  9. Mike is the best part of the show. His deeply disturbing Jerky Boyz on bath salts tapes and bizarro world apartment shenanigans are Tim Robinson tap dancing on the line between comedy and calling the police.
  10. KD is a 3 point shooter. Never has been a volume shooter. 5 attempts per game o his career. But yes I agree, asking Durant to take 7 threes a game isn’t a heavy lift. Maybe Reed takes 8ish (currently 5.6), Durant 7(currently 5), and Holiday takes 5 (currently 2.5) a game gets the team where they want to be. Middle of the league in attempts.
  11. Eh… his ginger daughter is not marrying that fat sloppy bitch. Season 2 with a dad and daughter mystery solving team could be interesting. Hope is still alive to see Lake Bell’s big naturals before she hits 50.
  12. I think it’d be cool if Ken directed a documentary on the Grinnell 14 in which Peter Coyote was a part of. It would be a nice tribute to his narrator who is getting up there in age.
  13. The Yahoo Sports hoops guys suggested Reed shoot another 3-4 threes a game. That would push him up to 9-10 attempts a game. It’s a big number, but Reed and maybe Jabari are the only potential volume 3 point shooters on the team. They could run into a math problem in the playoffs if they stay near the bottom of the league in attempts. We’re 15 games in. Still plenty of time to figure it out.
  14. Haha. It’s Apple + Gilligan. He shot Pinkman and Krysten Ritter in bed for an entire season and I think the most we got is Ritter in a tank top. It defied the laws of physics. We got to see Zosia’s ass in E2. I’ll take the win and move on.
  15. Agreed. Brooks isn’t a winning player. He had a nice game statistically, but he ball hogged, chucked, and took the rest of the team including their best player Booker completely out of the game offensively. Also I’m not sure he’s a B+ or better defender. He’s a cheap shot artist, and essentially has to foul to defend effectively. He plays hard and gets others around him to do the same. That’s valuable on a young team, but the Rockets outgrew him.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Holiday is on a vet minimum deal and he’s doing the Aaron Gordon thing where he’s getting better as he approaches 30.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Brooks picking up his 5th foul on a push in the back off a miss is on brand.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. Brooks is averaging 21 ppg, what in the fuck?!
