  1. Fever blasting a severely under-staffed PHX team 55-34 at half.   PHX playing without Tarausi and couple others, the Griner got hurt and will be out for the rest of the game.

    Interesting.   I've seen a lot of people online calling for her to play since she was a very good defender in college and the Fever defense is quite lacking.

     

     

     

    She got signed by the Mercury this morning.  Playing decent minutes tonight against her old team.

    Its too bad that this is all she is known for right now.    She will get her shot but with them having Sky Dig she doesnt even get off the bench.

    But what am I missing re: stat padding? Did she have 9 points and needed a bucket to get to double double and the foul got her to the line?

    Yeah they were up 7 I think.   Normal situations teams would just hold the ball and run out the clock.    They didnt.  They dumped it in to let her try to score.   I think the defender fouled on purpose too.   Not a good look at all.     Not the first time someone has padded stats to keep a streak alive and wont be the last but its still not a good look. 

     

    This was a "camp day" game and there were a lot of kids there.  The fans clearly wanted her to get another score to keep her streak going.

    He was around. He starred in first movie Van Wilder. Did Amytville Horror then made one of the funniest movies Just Friends. Bounced between rom-com and action-ish until Deadpool

    Just Friends was fucking hilarious as was the Proposal.    He's funny in anything he's done but Deadpool has been the role he was seemingly born for.

    White is just a better fit with this team

    Making this US team is tough. The team of players who didn't make it could win it all in their own right 

    I dont know about that unless we are saying Kawhi was a bad fit.   Brown is much more similar player to Kawhi than White is.

    Yeah... that's a head scratcher. Love me some Derrick White, but objectively Brown is a better player. 

    Brown thinks he got snubbed because of Nike. He's currently playing without a shoe deal and called Nike out for their ethics when they dropped Kyrie.

    Grant Hill tried to downplay it saying he wore Fila at one point and was still chosen.   Brands have always had sway in those choices though and I would not be surprised at all if they did with this one as well.  Brown is clearly worthy

    I don’t know what it is about embiid…but I don’t think he’s a good fiba player. Am I overthinking this or does he look big, slow and injured out there? International fiba refs are going to laugh at his foul baiting tactics that works in America but won’t work in fiba.

    Idk I’m probably wrong

    He's a big bitch.

    Yeah... it's going to be interesting to see how LP shakes out after this but I promise you I'm not buying yet another streaming service in Peacock just so I can watch hoops on Monday nights. Fuck all that. I'm also interested to see what happens to the local games with all the Ballys bankruptcy stuff. I know Amazon bought part of them, so are they going to try to charge me extra for that, too? Fucking ridiculous.

    I already have Prime cause there are other benefits but I refuse to pay for Peacock.   I missed football games last season because of it and I dont give a fuck.   I'm not paying for that shit just to watch a football game and a basketball game a week 4-5 mos out of the yr.   I have no interest in watching anything else on Peacock

     

  10. Officially official.   Ends are meeting quite nicely

     

     

    Proposed National TV Schedule
    Monday: Peacock
    Tuesday: NBC
    Wednesday: ESPN
    Thursday: Amazon
    Friday: ESPN/Amazon
    Saturday: ESPN/Amazon
    Sunday: NBC/ESPN

    This schedule may mean I wont be getting league pass this season.   With the W LP amazon games dont even appear on the schedule and you have to have Prime to watch them despite paying for LP.   If there are 3/4 nights a wk where I have to have another streaming service to see gms then what is the point?

    I don't know if I'd call it a pass. Just an acceptance of who he is at this point. Because of the media, his legacy is going to be "load management guy", not 2x Finals MVP and the dude who brought a title to fucking Toronto.

    Its not enough for teams to line up to give him unconditional max level contracts.  Others still talking about how he is one of the best players in the league.   He should be fucking toxic at this point.  He cannot be depended on in any situation and only plays when he is angling for his next contract. That should be only thing talked about when he is mentioned.

  12. He got his contract and he's straight.   I dont expect him to play more than 45 gms this yr.    This almost seemed like he made an appearance as a condition for a sponsor and then dipped out.   Its crazy as hell how much of a pass he seems to get from the media in general.   Its extremely clear that he only shows up consistently when its contract time
