I mean - no offense - but...

The difference between 1 and 2 and 3 is fucking massive. 5 and 6-7? Meh. Similar prospect tier at that point. 

There are some 5 man draft classes.  Or 4 man draft classes and then the Kings have a pick in the top 4 and fuck it up so you still get a prize.  I think this one looks like #1 all by itself with nothing else close from a prospect value standpoint, then a clear #2, but I don't know how deep that next tier is.  I'd always rather pick 5 then 7 is all I'd say, but yeah- I get that it isn't the most important thing in the world, but no sense giving away an edge if you don't have to.

The fact that nbadraft.net has put Gradey Dick at 5th tells me that it's somewhat of a crapshoot past the top 2 - and the lack of consensus seems to bear that out. 

I'm not losing any sleep if the Spurs have the 2nd or 3rd worst record. 4th or 5th worst record is no bueno.

Not sure if anybody else is still paying any sort of attention but there are two newsworthy items:

Rookie signed to a two-way after being waived by Philly. Long, not particularly athletic wing who can shoot it. Supposed to be a good character guy. Why not take a looksy and see if there is anything there?

And....most importantly:

There's a whole lot to unpack here. First off, calling Bryn Forbes an NBA "star" is by any objective measure, a stretch. My man is currently unemployed. And while we should never support or look for any silver linings from domestic abuse, this event should preclude his chucking, no defense playing ass from ever returning to the Spurs. Which was probably, somewhere, still on the table. It may be a good time for Brent to explore his overseas options.

Beyond that, I was unfamiliar with the artist known as Elsa Jean before today. After doing a quick bit of "research," it's clear that she is a very talented young lady that Bryn was lucky to have a relationship with.  Has there ever been a bigger underdog story than Bryn Forbes? This no talent motherfucker has been leading his best possible life. From undrafted free agent to pocketing more than $15 million in earnings before turning 30, owning a championship ring, and being with a remarkably hot porn star. As much as I hate the dude... you've got to give him his due. He would be an inspiration if not for this latest blight. Unbelievable.

Haha Elsa the chick from the meme

Also - whoever said they might rather have Scoot I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. 

 

This dude is going to be a menace. I don't think you can NOT draft Wemby 1st but guys that big don't have a great track record of having long and productive careers in the NBA. 

Yea scoot a super stud. I want

Shut down Sochan.

They need to shut down Vassell as well. He looked really good last night. But fucking Keldon didn't even play and they still won. It didn't help that Halliburton sat out for Indiana. It also didn't help that Jordan Clarkson didn't play for Utah the other night.

These next two games against Houston are beyond critical. They need to lose at least one of them and hopefully both. They're four games up on Charlotte in the win column. Win both against Houston and that number gets halved. And anything can happen in the last couple of weeks in the season when teams are resting players. It's obviously fine to be #3, but we sure as shit don't want it to come down to a coin flip with the Hornets for it.

A couple of other notes:

Sochan gets better and better each night. He's going to be an impact player in the league. He may not necessarily ever be an all star, but he's going to make winning plays on a winning team. Bright, bright future.

I'm really digging what I'm seeing from Blake Wesley. The book on him before the draft was athletic as hell but raw. He's shown a real knack for heady plays and ball hawking. It's a shame he's spent most of the season injured. He's already a fucking nuisance on defense. He's shooting 50% from 3 -- which nobody would have predicted based on his college stats -- albeit in a very, very small sample size. He's quick as fuck. If/when he learns how to play more under control, he should be a nice player. If his 3-point shooting isn't a complete aberration, his floor is a plus level 3 and D guy.

I think they nailed this draft with all three picks. It doesn't necessarily make up for them fucking up Samanic over Brandon Clarke, Vassell over Halliburton, or Primo over Sengun, but at least it's going in the right direction.

One other thing... this came across my inbox. I can't remember if it was @Hate or @Kermit or someone else who had the Becky Hammond obsession, but here is your chance to get to know her better:

You can upgrade to the meet and greet package for $100.

Not me. Someone on here got a chubby at the mention of her name, though.

The two wins last week were a little concerning but they've obviously had these two games against Houston circled. Amazing effort. They were playing guys serious minutes tonight who weren't even on the team a couple of days ago. Just tremendous tanking. I think they showed the rockets a thing or two about how this shit is done.

We're only 1 L back of CHA. 

They have 4 wins on us, though, so that's good. 

I was on the “we got this” train, but if they fuck this up it’s going to be an all-time NBA blunder. 
 

That being whined about, the team is so much fun to watch (with an eye on the future). Vessel is becoming a playmaker, Sochan is my new favorite (I’m pretty sure Wendell Carter Jr. Wanted to fight him), Collins is thankfully un-injured and is blossoming on offense (he is a fucking beanpole), unfortunately (or fortunately for tank purposes) we lost Bassey for the season. If the balls hang right, next season could be a hell of a lot of fun.

Sochan's edge is one of my favorite things about him. It might be a lazy comp but it's a little like Duncan in the way that he kind of quietly irritates the shit out of whoever's across from him for 4 quarters.

the mavs looked utterly incompetent and most importantly spurs take the L.

Seeing Kyrie jump off the bench and call for the challenge on the Kleber foul was just *chef's kiss*.

To be fair, he's doing what he can to impact the game. Everything besides actually suiting up.
