  1. And I don't think that is Dillon Brooks. He wants a big role, lots of shots, and got 4 years. Hopefully it works out.
  2. No shit the Rockets weren't going to sign Dwight Powell for 3 years, 12 million total. But could they have given him 12 million a year of money that they needed to spend that would be coming off the books when it was time to pay the young guys (assuming some of them pan out)? Yeah, probably. Instead they gave that money to Dillon Brooks. And Jeff Green took a one year deal for 6 million to do exactly the thing you're saying NBA players wouldn't do.
  3. The problem with Brooks as a player is that he's another guy who doesn't create offense for anyone else and he loves to shoot while not being a very good shooter. Definitely think the Rockets would have been better off spending that money on a better backup center (the Mavs managed to bring Dwight Powell back for 3 years, 12 million total) and another guard who can shoot and create (Detroit traded a future 2nd to take on Monte Morris's expiring contract, the Rockets surely could have done that too).
  4. Weird to have an episode about a celebrity alcohol and not even mention Frank's Fluids.

    Pepi was competing for one of three forward slots. His competition was Sargent, Haji, and Jesus (and Pefok). Morris was competing for a wing spot. His competition was Pulisic, Weah, Reyna, and Aaronson (with Arriola being the actual competition that he beat out).

    Yeah, I think he's a solid coach who did well with the US but didn't do enough to be brought back for 4 more years. Would have preferred a change but bringing him back isn't the end of the world and does not doom the team to failure.

    Serious question, are you really this invested in the USMNT to be so upset about this while also not following the team enough to not realize Jordan Morris and Pepi were not competing for the same roster spot? Or are you just doing a fake outrage thing about something you know didn't happen just for fun?

    Not according to the captain of the team.

    Takes like this really do a poor job of remembering how infrequently our best players have actually all been available at the same time. or I don't think Berhalter should be the choice (he did well here but it takes more than that for me to think you get a 2nd cycle) and am worried about the coaching and player pool getting stale over a 2nd cycle but the things we've been doing in this interim period are based on Berhalter's system with his assistants running the show. The team performing well right now is not somehow proving that Berhalter = bad.

    Both Pulisic goals, Balogun was in perfect position to score too. If Pulisic made the pass on the first goal or a deflection came off Ochoa, Balogun scores. If Weah cuts the ball back a little more instead of getting it across goal, Balogun scores. Definitely encouraging that he's in all the right spots even if he didn't get a chance to even get a shot this game.

    Oh god Scally's hair is worse than Reyna's

    Can they just call the game already? What's the point of letting Mexico keep taking shots at people down 3 goals?

    If Weston gets a red for touching the neck, what about all the other times he's gotten choked by Mexico with nothing?

    That's an easy yellow card. It's closer to a red than no card at all. You can't just launch your shoulder into someone's face

    Does it even matter who we have take free kicks/corners at this point or does whoever does it always end up just being terrible?
  16. At 1-2, you think anyone is folding an ace there? I don't. I think it's definitely a bet and if you lose to AQ/AJ you just live with it.
  17. I think the answer is just that Mitchell is eating into Onyema and Anamekwe's proposed minutes much more than he is any potential guard/wing that we add. How many minutes we have just depends on the quality of the player. If he's better than the guys at the end of our current 8-9 man rotation, we easily have 24ish minutes to give. If they are a similar level or worse, it's looking like 10-12 minutes max.
  18. A ton of size with zero shooting. I have a hard time seeing how they get many minutes on the court together unless someone develops a shot.

    Seems pretty obvious that he got the job because he was the next man up already on staff. I'm confused by the confusion here. Who is the staff going to be? Probably the exact same people who were already there with this guy moving up one spot?
  20. You're right that you don't need to see the footage. The bodycam footage exists but they haven't released it yet. We all know what that means. If it looked good for the cop, it would have been immediately released.
  21. Over Abmas or Hunter? Would he get minutes over Weaver? He'd be fighting for minutes here too.
  22. Is an empty building somehow more expensive that an occupied one?
  23. Pretty sure you can find a similar list for just about any draft. Just looking at the 20th pick and later starting 10 years before you: 2008 had Ryan Anderson (21), Serge Ibaka (24), Batum (25), George Hill (26), Chalmers (34), Deandre Jordan (35), Dragic (45) 2009 had Darren Collison (21), Taj Gibson (26), Patrick Beverley (42), Danny Green (46), Patty Mills (55) and a handful of longtime role players 2010 is dogshit. Hassan Whiteside (33), Landry Fields (39), Lance Stephenson (40)? 2011 had Faried (22), Reggie Jackson (24), Jimmy Butler (30), Bojan Bogdanovic (31), Chandler Parsons (38), Isaiah Thomas (60) 2012 had Evan Fournier (20), Jae Crowder (34), Draymond Green (35), Kris Middleton (39), Will Barton (40) I'll stop there but I'm not seeing a massive increase in valuable players coming later in the draft.
  24. If Hunter comes back and we get Weaver and Rodman, this team is looking pretty good. But do we really have minutes for them all to come here? Abmas averaged 36 minutes last year, Weaver 30, Hunter 30, and Sellers 30. Minutes get tight there even if we ran a 3 guard lineup all the time.
  25. How do people still exist who think Harden doesn't love basketball?
