  1. Lance also attempted to have a free agent PG workout for the team without getting him to sign waivers which is a baseline NBA protocol checkpoint in those types of circumstances.
  2. Forgot the podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/amin-elhassan-on-his-phoenix-suns-days-shaq-locker/id1109271715?i=1000507751314 Quote from the podcast purportedly said verbatim by Lance Blanks: "I'm the general manager. That means I manage things generally" Amin is a great storyteller and he basically describes Lance as the gm version of Michael Scott from the Office.
  3. Ive heard Amin talk about his experiences with Lance (without ever mentioning his name) on multiple podcast and the general gist is Lance was a lazy, middle management type whose only goal upon getting the GM gig was maintaining the GM gig. . He starts talking about it on the RInger NBA show with Raja Bell at 17:40 of this podcast.
  4. Amin telling stories about Robert Sarver but I'm posting this here particularly because the person he begins talking about a little after the 19:00 mark is none other than our own Lance Blanks.
  5. The main problem is they took ZIon's bluff way too seriously and then ruined their team building plan in the process. There was no need to hasten their plan just because Zion and his fat, injury prone ass threatened to give up 40 to 50 million dollars and not take his rookie extension. All that talk of him saying no to the extension was and is complete and utter nonsense. If the rumors were true and he and his family were really making noise about getting out of dodge I would've told them to "do what yall gotta do" while simultaneously opening up a briefcase full of over 200+ million dollars.
  6. I aint gonna lie. I'd rather have Royce than Bishop, but I'm happy for him to finally get his opportunity.
  7. Fucking A!! Can't wait for this game.
  8. I like that we ran the motion offense from a much more spread out alignment than what Beard typically did at Tech. Probably had something to do with the fact that we have way more shooters on the floor than what he usually had at Tech. .
  9. Native metroplexian and 2nd yr player Tyrese dropped 31 points last night. I wonder what Josh Green and his 0.3 ppg has in store for us tonight.
  10. If you think that's weird then you haven't been paying attention.
  11. Anybody else see this dirty ass play
  12. More should definitely be made in the media about Okla St's sanctions. The lack of similar sanctions for South Carolina alone for the EXACT same violation by the EXACT same offender is absolute and total bullshit. How can the NCAA defend the difference in sanctions between the 2 schools? I don't think there's ever been a better test case than the South Carolina/Okla St judgments for an example of the NCAA's inequitable administration of sanctions from school to school.
  13. Quin Snyder would probably be their best hope, but I doubt he ever comes back to cbb.
  14. Coach K created the recruiting allure of Duke. They weren't anything special prior to him. In fact I'm really interested in what will happen to Duke after he leaves. If they don't hit the ground running they're at risk of turning into a UCLA or something like much lesser than their peak.
  15. I used to feel that way about Osaka, but after hearing about how she grew up and immense pressure and seclusion her parents put her through her issues seem much more legitimate than the bullshit Ben Simmons is pretending to go through.
  16. He was on ESPN for a bit, but chose to go his own route. I'm guessing he sees a bigger opportunity and a shitload more autonomy in growing his podcast/radio show and overall brand on his own.
  17. By people do you think they mean Americans? And more specifically, white Americans? I doubt that if the entire population of the planet were polled the results of that study would bare out the same conclusions. This phenomenon of caring for pets over human life is a cultural thing and probably a resulting effect afforded by relative comfort.
  18. Yeah but the Hawks understand what Cuban has never understood during his entire ownership tenure. The draft is a valuable part of team building and doing it well sets your team up with tradeable assets if the opportunity ever arises to trade for a big star. Cuban's Mavs have always chosen the hail mary route of free agency as the sole method of team building. We lucked out with 2 generational draft picks over a 20 year span, but outside of that the Mavs have been poorly run for the greater part of 2 decades.
  19. Judging by his fiance/wife's comments he's more of a granola type who tries every holistic remedy known to man before trying conventional medicine. She eats clay because some taxi driver told her about it. My guess is that his "holistic immunization" was her idea. Pussy will forever and always remain undefeated.
  20. The main issue is whether or not he followed the NFL prescribed protocols for unvaccinated players. Cole Beasley and others have been fined for not following protocols. This guy has just been behaving as if he's above it all.
  21. And the funny thing about McCarthy's work with Rodgers is I distinctly remember when McCarthy first got to Green Bay there was a lot of talk and reporting on how McCarthy and the Green Bay staff changed Rodgers' throwing motion which greatly improved his velocity and accuracy. Rodgers came from Jeff Tedford's, old school style of preloading your arm before throwing it. Anyone who played or watched high school football during the 80s and early 90s will remember how high school QBs back then would start their throwing motion with the football next to their earhole when dropping back to throw. McCarthy and staff changed this method with Aaron Rodgers. An example is discussed below: There was plenty of reporting on this when Rodgers was backing up Farve before everyone knew how good he was going to be. Now that Rodgers has had his falling out with McCarthy it's all but forgotten. Coach Mike McCarthy arrived in Rodgers’s second season, and he recognized the talent that spent Sundays holding clipboards. Since 1993, McCarthy has charted quarterbacks in five footwork drills that rate agility and movement. In his three backup seasons, Rodgers improved most in those areas, McCarthy said, to where he now ranks “at the top of all of them.” In what McCarthy calls his Quarterback School, Rodgers concentrated on tuning his fine motor skills: hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, mechanics. He also lowered where he held the ball for a smoother, more consistent motion. By the end of Rodgers’s second year, McCarthy and Thompson saw him as a starter who happened not to start. With his quarterback coach, Tom Clements, Rodgers studied every play from the Packers’ previous season. He also took the spring practice repetitions when Favre stayed home in Mississippi. Between Rodgers’s second and third seasons, Quarterback School consisted of 10 hours in the film room and 3 hours on the practice field a week, an offensive study conducted in “painstaking detail,” Clements said. Eventually, Rodgers focused less on learning the Packers’ offense and more on clarifying why defenses ran certain coverages, schemes or fronts. Now, when Rodgers drops back to pass, he does not look for his receivers. He looks for defenders, where they are, where they might move, what that means or could mean. Then he throws for receivers headed toward open space. The way he practiced behind Favre also earned Rodgers the respect of teammates. While Favre retired and unretired and eventually left for the Jets in 2008, Rodgers and Clements studied every pass Tom Brady threw in his record-setting 2007 season. Rodgers took note of how Brady “controlled the defense with his eyes” on nearly every completed pass. https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/03/sports/football/the-education-of-the-packers-aaron-rodgers.html
  22. I hear you but Allen is an undersized big who can't shoot. Yes he was the best player on a garbage team and is great around basket, but like Shareef Abdur-Raheem on the mid 90s early 00s Hawks, someone had to score the points. I'm not saying he definitely won't start but I can't see him starting over Mitchell and a healthy Dylan Disu.
  23. I dont think Allen is a guaranteed starter by the time we get to conference play. The only guys who are guaranteed by that time are Mitchell, Carr, & Disu. Outside of those 3, I can see any 2 of Allen, Jones, or Ramey starting. Just depends on whether Beard prefers offensive spacing over pounding the offensive boards.
  24. When it's all said and done I'm pretty sure Disu and Mitchell will be starting. Bishop was one of the 1st transfers Beard got and probably didn't anticipate Beard bringing in 3 more bigs who are clearly more offensively skilled than him. So Beard has his hands full maintaining a positive outlook for him. I'd gather starting him last night is part of that process. If Tyson can raise his intensity on the the defensive end and minimize the mental lapses there as well, he'll play a prominent role later in the season. That kid oozes talent. He seems like a Jarret Culver special and could possibly be our primary scorer next year.
