  1. He was explaining some boring ass drill that I had done a thousand times before and I was watching the scrimmage at the other end of the gym instead of listening to him. One day I’ll get my revenge. And for the record, I won camp co-mvp for my age group. Pretty sure that was the zenith of my basketball career other than the time I was shooting hoops by myself at Gregory when Travis Mays wandered over to join me. This was either right before or right after he got drafted. I caught fire from outside and he had to give me change for like 3 straight minutes. He didn’t seem happy about it.
  2. He’s a fucking asshole. At least he was when he was coaching at Spurs kids summer basketball camp at Antonian High School in 1978. #neverforget
  3. Spurs v Knicks on Christmas Day. Wemby in the garden. Not bad.
  4. She's going to completely destroy him in the debates. It's going to be borderline erotic.
  5. LOL. My man was solid standing there at the FT lane as a designated rebounder in the final seconds though.
  6. He lost his mojo when he gave up that little splotch of dyed hair.
  7. I think France is going to foul. At least I would.
  8. Paris and Germany tied at the half. This is a good game. Wemby is doing Wemby things but missing some shots. When he gets it going he is transcendent. Gobert has been essentially benched. I think he played like a minute or two. Woof.
  9. In the ncaa report, it was noted that Harbaugh ate a bacon cheeseburger for breakfast. At that rate, dude will be lucky to be ambulatory in five years.
  10. The Sache coach is Red Berhens? Seriously?
  11. Utah is in a weird spot. They need a superstar. At this point they may be better off trading some of their draft capital and young players to get one. The treadmill is an awful place to be in the nba. Markkanen waiting to sign his contract so that they can’t trade him before next summer really limits their flexibility. Barring him getting “injured”, they can’t pick a lane for at least another season.
  12. I keep seeing shit about this being maybe the most talented Ohio State team ever, and it’s like they just ignore that Will Howard is their trigger man. He wasn’t even the best qb on his own middling team last year. And let’s honest about Chip Kelly - he hasn’t been considered innovative in a decade. The defense is going to outstanding and I suppose the schedule is dogshit so it would be stunning to see them out of the playoff, but I just don’t buy them overall.
  13. It was no doubt terrible and stupid. To say it had plot holes is an insult to plot holes. I did think Josh Harnett was good and the production value was fine. There was probably a decent film in there somewhere or maybe it would have worked as a spoof with some third wall breaking?
  14. The same reason they don’t make the entire plane out of the black box?
  15. They should just trot this bit out at the DNC.
  16. No way in hell I would have taken my kids to this movie when they were 9. Moreso about the violence and gore than the language, but still...
  17. I agree with your general premise, but let's not let give the Big 12 a pass here on scheduling. Every Big 12 team lost games against OU, Texas, USC, Washington, Oregon or UCLA and replaced them with games against the other leftovers and dogshit non-conference games. The only Big 12 nonconference games that even sniff the top tier of college football are Houston v. OU, Penn State v. West Virginia, Pitt v. West Virginia, Florida v. UCF, Iowa v. Iowa State, and Colorado v. Nebraska, Arkansas v. Okie State. And defining most of those as "top tier" is a stretch. I agree with you about the SEC and ACC 8 game schedule being bullshit, but it's going to be really interesting to see how this shakes out when the playoff teams are decided.
  18. I will be completely stunned if Salaun amounts to anything in the NBA. I never understood the hype with him to begin with, and almost shit myself when Charlotte took him 6th. Low IQ, shaky jumper and very, very stiff. He's got a big motor, but that's it. Sarr at least is athletic and you know can be a rim protector, but Salaun has no discernable basketball talent whatsoever. With regard to the future of USA basketball... I'm not concerned. There will always be a steady stream of talent to stock the roster. It's going to be a long ass time before another country is able to go 12 deep with difference-making NBA talent. Current US born NBA players under 25 who are better than 90% of international players and not on this year's Olympic team: Banchero, Holmgren, Garland, JJJ, Cade Cunningham, Ja Morant, Scottie Barnes, Zion, Jalen Williams, Maxey,
  19. I haven't seen the one that came out yesterday, but I think this show is fantastic. I can't believe how much access they have.
  20. Got dam you motherfuckers are slipping.
  21. Put me in the camp who believes Embiid is a better offensive player than AD. Notwithstanding his disgusting flopping foul baiting bullshit, he's a remarkably skilled big man with fantastic footwork who plays with incredible fluidity, touch and range for a guy his size. I don't see the same skillset with AD, who arguably is a more impactful overall player.
  22. Super obvious which of crew were going to become dragon riders. I think it would have been cooler to have introduced one of the commoners earlier in the season who ends up getting barbecued. Would have at least been a little of a plot twist. Also... throwback to that time Big Tex tried to claim Deepfrye as his own dragon.
  23. I thought it was good, not great. It felt like they were a slightly more cohesive plot away from completely knocking it out of the park.
  24. I'm much less surprised that some mentally ill person downtown tried to stab BO&W than cajun up here casually ordering cho and egg puffy tacos. WTF? Breakfast puffy tacos? I've never heard of such a thing. It's always, "Chicken or beef, de puff?" It's genius and I'm sure it's delicious, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
  25. Ivy League? It just means less.
