  1. Well, they are an easy out. Ja Morant has also only played 44 games this season. He's only 25 and he's hurt all the time when he's not trying to be some wanna be gangster piece of shit.
  2. Three different players in MVP seasons. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryan, SGA. Tell me which one is which. 31.5 ppg, 52% FG, 27% 3P%, 6.0 reb, 5.5 AST, 2.7 STL 28.3 pig, 46% FG, 36% 3P%, 6.3 reb, 5.4 AST, 1.8 STL 32.9 ppg, 52% FG, 37% 3P%, 5.1 reb, 6.3 AST, 1.7 STL So, yeah, SGA is on par with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant at this point and he'll only be 27 this summer and he has his team literally 16 games better than Jokic. Sure, give it to Jokic. Whatever.
  3. Yes, these are purple suede. Baby Doll scored big over the weekend. These don't exist, even on the website.
  4. They are 2-2 head to head. SGA has a much better supporting cast, though. Well, let's just change it to the Most Impressive Stats (MIS) category, then. If these two team were close, then I'd go Jokic. Denver is a distant 3rd and literally 16 games behind OKC.
  5. I don't know, SGA is having a statistical season for a guard on par with anything MJ and Kobe ever did and leads Jokic's team by literally almost 16 games in the standings.
  6. They signed him to a 4 year extension for a reasonable amount of money. He can defend 4 positions very well and can hit some threes. Fits into the system very well. Seems to get injured a lot, though,
  7. Everyone has stretches like that.
  8. The rare trade that worked out for all the players and all the teams.
  9. Josh Giddey's average against the Lakers this season is 20/12/14
  10. The national media is sort of writing in the Lakers in the WCF at minimum but they're 4-6 in their last 10 and one of those wins was a last second tip in against Indy. But Josh Giddey's half court heave. Lulz.
  11. He then slapped a 25% tariff on autos. GM stock down 8%
  12. Since these were all white guys, we can blame this on DEI, right?
  13. That's where I was even when it happened. I get the logic behind wanting to move off Luca but you traded for him for......Anthony Davis? M'kay. Poetic that he got hurt the first game in Dallas. Speaking of that, they're bringing him back last night to compete for that #10 spot. Why?
  14. You can't be a GOAT level player and not focus on fitness and conditioning, though. Did anyone see Luka playing 70 games a season 10 years from now at age 35? I certainly didn't and still don't. All time talent, though. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the trade was unbelievably bad but they weren't wrong in their original reasons.
  15. Josh Giddey messed around and had a triple double last night. While not a great fit in OKC, I was always a fan of his skill set unrelated to guessing the ages of girls. He's played really well as of late. 20/8/6 during February while 50% FG and 53% from 3. So far in March, 21/9/9 and 52% FG and 35% from 3. He's a RFA after this season so it'll be interesting what the Bulls do. If he's in a system where he's the full time PG, I always thought he could put up All Star level numbers like he has the last two months. He's not great on defense, though. I still think that trade worked out well for everyone involved. Caruso is a better fit in OKC and Giddey is getting more exposure in a contract year.
  16. ‘Deport every person under the sun’: ICE detains Cubans during immigration appointments Federal authorities in South Florida have recently detained at least 18 Cubans during scheduled immigration appointments, local attorneys say, highlighting that a group that has historically enjoyed special immigration benefits is not immune to the Trump administration’s intensified mass deportation efforts. In recent years, hundreds of thousands of Cubans who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border have received I-220A forms, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement document that records someone’s release from custody subject to certain conditions. https://www.yahoo.com/news/deport-every-person-under-sun-172343782.html
  17. In all fairness, there is a lot of sensory overload at most NBA games.
  18. Your mom is the #1 tight end....
  19. I would disagree. $6B for a team without an arena is absurdly high but it's the Celtics, which is one of the top brands in all of sports. A new team is just that. It has no brand. It also depends on which city the teams are in. Seattle would be worth more than Vegas. (I assume those are going to be the two.) Actually, I'd add teams to those two cities and move the Grizzlies or Pelicans to Nashville. I'd let one of them buy into that option, if possible.
  20. On the Ikard and Lehman podcast a few weeks ago, they were talking about Mitchell's weight. Ikard came to OU as a TE originally before moving to center. He said "Be careful, my man. Just a few more pounds and you're going to look down and see the ball between your legs." I laughed.
  21. Yeah, that's a steep assed price but it is one of the brand names in all of American sports.
  22. Oh, easily. Outside of KD and Russ and maybe Paul George later, those teams were painful to watch on offense. I wouldn't watch much during the regular season and I remember being surprised about how bad some of the supporting cast was on offense. I get what Presti was trying to do at the time with "positionless basketball" but he'd get these guys who were great on defense and fit that mold but had zero offensive skills at all. They're were asking the 2 or 3 stars to basically bring their A game every single game. He nailed it this time, though. Outside of the bigs, they've got 7-8 guys who fit that mold but they can all shoot this time. They're all wings that are long and athletic who are great on defense but can all shoot reasonably well. Even the bigs are pretty versatile and they can shoot, too. Seriously, who is the 9th man on that team? Is it Caruso? He was first team all defense in Chicago and is a 35% 3 point shooter.
  23. Them winning by 33 is the best thing about it. It was basically the Thunder bench vs the Philly deep bench. Philly seems like they kinda suck. The NBA is looking into them doing something similar against Portland a few weeks ago and they won by 20.
  24. Epic battle tonight between OKC and Philly. OKC owns the pick, top 6 protected. Philly sitting there at 6th worst in the league and rolling out a G League roster. OKC's "injury" report is SGA, Dort, Cason, Jalen Williams, Hartenstein. Chet is "available."
  25. It was Kyle Rittenhouse's dream school for god's sake. Then Blinn, then a pawn shop in Florida....
