  1. I don't think Moser was a bad hire. I just think that's a dead end program now. Almost no fan support, what NIL money they have goes to football and softball, not a great arena, no in state talent, etc. They had a good program for a long time but that was in the pre NIL days. What demand there is for basketball in that market goes to Thunder games for a whole list of reasons. It killed all fan interest for both OU and OSU.
  2. Jalen Green is borderline undersized and FVV and Reed Shepard are wildly undersized to the point you can't play them at the same time. God forbid you play them at the same time with Green at the 3. For Green to be a 6'4" (if that SG, he needs to be offensively elite. He is not elite. He's a PG body playing SG. I guess Smith is tall enough but he's 6'10" and getting 6 rebounds per game so I'm not sure what the height does.
  3. I'm sure we have a lot of newly minted wildfire experts on here from back in January. Have they weighed yet to blame it on Abbott?
  4. She's basically just heavy Tesla and always has been.
  5. #3. 100%. We legitimately like going to the movies but most of the movies we want to see either aren't anywhere near us or in some obscure theater at an odd time. I want to see Anora, Babygirl, and The Substance but I can't find any other them so I'm just waiting until they come out on streaming. Instead, all of the theaters are stacked with cartoons and comic book movies.
  6. Punch to the balls after a punch to the gut. In theory, they were still going to the playoffs with a (maybe) healthy AD. Now they likely fall out if Phoenix gets their shit together. (Even if the Suns do that, they're not winning the play in games.) Kings playing well, too, and no one saw that coming. Races seem to be tween the Lakers and Nuggets for the 2/3 and the 6-10 for the order and if they can avoid the play in.
  7. I tuned in last night to watch the Rockets play OKC and was a bit disappointed to see everyone was hurt except Green. "We'll see if Green can score when he's the #1 option," said to my miniature dachshund who seemed unconcerned. (Especially with OKC being on the back end of a back to back and it being their third game in four days.) Green then offered up....6-14 (42%) and 1-5 from 3. If that 42% sounds familiar, it's because that's his % in every single year he's been in the league. Green's ceiling is basically what Fox is right now. Career 47% shooter with one season at 51%. Yes, he's older but by his 4th year, he was at 48%. Good three point shooter (not great) but for Green to improve to 48% would be a whole other tier. Maybe he can do it but don't pretend his ceiling is a tier above Fox. He's just not a good shooter. Little Reed Sheppard finally got to play, though. He put up some decent numbers but on defense, showed why he can't be on the court with another 6'0" PG, which is why he doesn't play. SGA's face lit up like it was Bronny James. 51 points in 36 minutes. Houston's problem is the best players are still B guys without any A's. The shooting isn't great and they're undersized at some positions. Despite the injuries, last night they had a #2 pick and two #3's and two of them aren't starters on a title team. One barely plays. Thompson seems like he has some upside in the future, though. I will give them credit for all playing hard, though. Coach seems legit. They have enough assets that they can maybe deal for Durant or someone next season. Package Sheppard, Smith, and some picks and the Suns may bite.
  8. Canada slapping a 25% tax on electricity they supply to the US.
  9. Paul Pelosi!! The jab!!! He played the greatest hits. Eat shit and die, Tad.
  10. First time I've really watched SA this season. I really like their roster going forward. Wemby, Fox, and Castle are a very good core and then you add in all the draft picks. Sochan is good as well. (Maybe he's the core, maybe he's not.) Their long term upside if higher than Houston, quite frankly. Wemby and Fox would both be the best players on Houston's roster. Over the next five years or so, the West looks like it'll be OKC, SA, LAL, and maybe Houston. Denver will putter out in a few years and Dallas has maybe 2 years at best. Anyway, really like SA's future.

  12. The Beal trade fucked them and everyone except Durant could see it coming. They should have just told him no.
  13. Aren't these the same people that want to secede from Oregon altogether? Maybe they should just pull themselves up their bootstraps.
  14. The fact that he hit the open market and his best offer was a bad Auburn team with a HC about to be fired says a lot. If he were good, any number of good teams would have offered.
  15. If Biden was having joint interviews with Soros where Soros did all the talking, certain people's heads would explode.
  16. He's the Bad Guy in Unforgiven. Sure, William Munny is the real bad guy but you're rooting for him. He originally turned the role down because he was a pacifist and thought the movie would glorify violence. Eastwood explained to him that one of the themes was a critique of violence in American culture.
  17. This. It also showed his range as a comedic actor. The cast for Birdcage was insane. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115685/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cst_sm
  18. Don't worry, Sean. The "genocide" will be over this time next year, if you know what I'm saying....
  19. Agree. People may not like to hear it but when/if AD is healthy, Dallas might have the best roster in the West or at least the most threatening to the Thunder. (Yes, that's a big "if." It's like saying "if" I was married to Scarlett Johansson then my wife would be hotter than yours.) Just awful long term, though, and to your point, "long term" means 2-3 years.
  20. Everyone bagged on the Clippers for not giving him that 4th year but who is laughing now? He's still a solid player but it's obvious he's hit the age wall. In 2028, he'll be making $56M. Ugh.
