I'm guessing Ant leaves.
Anthony Edwards: "The fans fuckin’ booing us. That shit is crazy, man. We’re getting booed in our home arena. That’s so fuckin’ disrespectful, it’s crazy."

Did Brooklyn not get the memo that they traded a whole bunch of shit this offseason just so they could tank? They beat the Suns with all of their guys playing in Phoenix tonight after beating Golden State on the road the other night, and are now only two games under .500.

I guess you can't play Utah every night but beyond that, they didn't play with much juice. A little disappointing considering that Lakers played last night, too.

Disastrous end to this third quarter.

It's almost like you're suggesting that planning to commit $100M/year to two centers was a bad idea.
Because KAT is such a great outside shooter, it sort of made sense on a basketball court. It's not like he's your prototypical back to the basket, throw it into the post, get me a bucket traditional big. But let's look at the tale of the tape for what they gave up, and what they got back altogether:
IN: Gobert, Divencenzo, Julius Randle, and a heavily protected (the best it could ever be is #10) first round pick via the Pistons that may not ever convey.
OUT: Towns, Walker Kessler, Pat Bev, Malik Beasley, Jared Vanderbilt, Keyonte George (via pick), 2025 unprotected first, 2026 swap, 2027 unprotected first, and 2029 top 5 protected first.They managed to give up the best player by far AND a giant chunk of their future. If that weren't bad enough, they also have a 32 year old Rudy Gobert (who seems to be declining so far this season) on the books for the next three years at ~$36.5 million per. Woof.
They've done such a good job building their roster with unheralded guys like Reid, NAW, and McDaniels that it hasn't killed them yet. But holy shit if Anthony Edwards ever gets hurt or decides he doesn't want to live in Minnesota.

Mack Brown was the best of times. He was also the worst of times.

The Wolves didn't trade KAT because they were enamored with Julius Randle's basketball skills. They traded KAT for cap flexibility. Gotta think they've got another move coming in the next 12 months. But, yeah, the short term impact has been less than ideal.
Gobert opted out and extended, so they got out of their cap hell for now. But they still should have never traded for him in the first place. Forget the assets they sent out, they essentially had to choose between him and Towns to avoid the second apron penalties.

Weigman will have the best seat in the house! What can he get for a sideline pass?
This may sound ridiculous, but I hope they spent some time preparing for Weigman. The best game he had was against Missouri when they were expecting Reed to start, and Weigman came out and shredded them. The best Reed has looked is when he replaced Weigman against LSU, and they didn't look like they had prepped for the running QB at all.

Exactly how I felt about it, just based on the improvement for Mitchell in the past few weeks makes me think the staff won’t be quick to push anyone on the line out. That being said I could see Akana and Gillette leaving even though I’d hate it. Log jam there at the moment.
Seeing Mitchell get meaningful snaps recently has been one of the bigger roster surprises of the season. Lord knows they need all the help they can get on that interior dline next year.

Lol, okay, it's directly responsive to the topic, while acknowleding the differences in the leagues. I get that a bunch of people here think the Big XII is terrible and should just shut down or join the NAIA, but it's just dumb.
The Big XII is not terrible. I don't wish for its demise. I wish it would schedule more compelling nonconference games to make me want to watch it. I wish the rest of the conference had scheduled more compelling nonconference games when we were actually in the conference to raise its profile. Then maybe we wouldn't have had to throw our lot in with all these sister fuckers and mouthbreathers.
But don't feed us that bullshit about scheduling. It's going to continue to bite the conference in the ass. Put on your big girl panties and schedule OU for fuck's sake.

JFC, you guys are a broken record with alternative facts. Every Big XII team has at least one P4 non-con on their schedule these days (UH and Tech playing Oregon State being the only realignment related exception). Nobody is doing the Bill Snyder schedule anymore and haven't for more than a decade. Of course, some matchups are way better than others, but they aren't all G6 and FCS. Here's are the Big XII P4 noncon matchups for next year:
KSU @ Arizona (pre-realignment noncon)
ASU @ Miss St.
Auburn @ Baylor
Baylor @ SMU
Stanford @ BYU
Cincy v. Nebraska
GT @ Colorado
UH @ Oregon State (non P4 anymore but still good)
ISU v. Iowa
KU @ Mizzou
TCU @ UNC
SMU @ TCU
OKST @ Oregon (FUCK!)
Tech v. Oregon State (see UH above)
UCF v. UNC
Utah @ UCLA
Pitt @ WVU
At least one P4 non-conference game? More like, EXACTLY one P4 non-conference game, and then a bunch of glorified scrimmages. And outside of Oregon, who on that list will be even ranked in the top 25 next year? There aren't exactly a ton of top programs on that slate. I don't care how good of a year SMU is having, you don't get to point to them as strong scheduling when those matches were made when they were in the AAC. You should be playing Oklahoma this Saturday for the love of God.

I know I’ve said this a few times in the Left Behind thread, but the Big 12 needs to stop scheduling cupcakes in the non-con. They are pussifying their OOCs and adding FCS and G6 opponents almost exclusively. That’s not going to help their arguments.
A few 10 win teams that beat even middling P4 OOC teams and avoided FCS games would be able to proudly pound their chest that both belong in the CFP irrespective of Big 12 title game results.
I agree 100% but outside of Colorado, they will never do it. Most of them still have the Bill Snyder/Baylor scheduling philosophy of get to 6 wins no matter what, get that bowl paycheck, and don't get the coach fired. They aren't serious about winning or building their brands. They never were. That's one of the reasons we had to get the fuck out of that conference -- they added no value in the non-conference schedule, took zero risks to build themselves up, and were satisfied with a fatwa win over Texas or OU every now and then and cashing that check.

UNC did that a lot more smoothly than Texas did.
He didn't even have the chance to go kill himself down in Florida.

Anybody have Harrison Barnes winning western conference player of the week on their bingo card? I can't believe Sacto gave us a first round swap to take him off their hands.

In a 12 team playoff, we would have been in almost every one of those years.... and then probably would have been pantsed by a team with a real coach.

I’m sure Chris Paul’s hamstring will spontaneously explode in the near future, but that little fucker has been great. He’s not what he once was, but he’s far from washed. I’m rather shocked by him so far.

Cut it to 4 heading toward the fourth. This team continues to play hard each night. Bassey needs more minutes.

I figured, but thought I'd ask, since I didn't want to assume anything about The Pearl on the chance it was Domain-ish. Will book at Hotel Emma. What's good to eat around there?
In the actual Pearl: Mon Chou Chou is probably my favorite, Southerleigh and Cured are also good. Not as big of a fan of Supper in the Hotel Emma, but it's fine. I don't think the food is great at La Gloria, but it's a nice patio for a margarita by the river if the weather is good. Curry Boys BBQ on St. Mary's Street is walkable (~15 minutes). It's not upscale but the food is fantastic and original.

I'm in San Antonio a lot for work, but not R&R. I'm thinking about taking my wife to San Antonio for a weekend in January to celebrate her birthday. Where's the best place to camp out for a couple days, with restaurants and bars in walking distance? The Pearl? Downtown? La Cantera?
Sorry if this topic is covered earlier in the thread, but too lazy to scroll through the last 50 pages.
Pearl. Hotel Emma.

He's shooting poorly enough and turning it over often enough to keep my expectations somewhat in check.
He's already so fucking good on D, though. And hasn't shown anything to think his decision-making and shotmaking won't improve.
I think the turnovers last night were a bit of an anomaly because OKC has such ridiculous perimeter defenders: SGA, Wallace, Dort, Caruso, Williams. They are the best in the league as a group, and maybe the best I can remember in recent memory. No weak links. And without Wemby or Vassell, there aren't many relief valves or anyone else to create shots. He had to force it a good bit.
The outside shooting was off even when he got good looks, but he had been on fire from three over the previous five games. I loved it that he had the confidence to take and make that last three after throwing up so many bricks. It was a huge shot and what a confidence builder. He also didn't get any favorable calls. The rookie treatment kept him off the line probably 3-4 times.
And still, he just kept playing through it all. 8 assists while taking SGA head on all night. Kid is just a winner.
