  1. Those hats are not the equivalent of what an upside down horns hat would be. New Era released a line of hats with upside down logos for every team. The guy in that video has a regular Rangers shirt on so even though he says he's in Houston I don't think its any kind of obsession. Most probably don't get it because normally the upside down logo thing is a sign of disrespect, but it's really not. Probably worn more by dudes who aren't fans of any particular team. https://capswagusa.com/collections/upside-down-logo-hats-mlb-upside-down-logo-hats-new-era
  2. Vassell went out of the game after about 15 minutes played with groin tightness. If this is anything more than a cautious approach with him, we may see Wemby blow up a couple more times over the next week or 2. I think Vassell has moved past Keldon and will be the highest scorer, at least in PPG this year
  3. Most likely nothing. I just noticed the past few games and there's weird vibes there. Could be because Sochan sucks at running point and just seems pissy, could be nothing. More than anything, I was trying to move on from the foul or no foul debate. It does seem like Wemby camps outside the 3 point line most of the time when Sochan is running point but I think that's more a function of his lack of experience at the position.
  4. The past 2 games I've been thinking there might be something going on too. They have weird body language together, Sochan seems dismissive of him and looks him off on offense too much. It's probably nothing, he could just be having trouble adjusting to his role this year. But it's something to watch
  5. Not a ton of competitive games today except Dominican Republic vs Philippines was pretty damn good. KAT had 26 and 10 for the Dom Republic and Jordan Clarkson had 28,7,7 and 2 steals for the Philippines before he fouled out and their offense stalled. Canada looking really strong, Dillon Brooks played some damn good defense and France didn't have anyone that could slow down SGA. Germany didn't look great, Schroeder sucked but the Wagner bros and Daniel Theis played really well
  6. I've been reading for a few weeks that they want to move up and pair a PG with Wemby. Cason Wallace was mentioned as the most likely since he has the best chance of falling into lower end of the lottery compared to Anthony Black and the Thompson twins who were also mentioned.
  7. Game 3 is at 1:30 today, should be available on the NBA app again. I didn't see much of game 2 but watched most of game 1 and it seems like he had a pretty similar statline. He's going to be one of those guys that seems like he had a quiet game but then you go look and see he had 20 and 10 with at least a few blocks. He's a good passer but isn't a huge assist guy, although I expect he'll get a few more per game with the way NBA scorekeepers give assists compared to the Euroleagues. His team would probably be harder to beat if he was more assertive and took more shots, there's a few things that factor into this like being a teenager on a team of grown men not wanting to upset team chemistry, strength/conditioning limitations, and the way the game is played in Europe compared to the NBA.
  8. It does suck that we're probably losing out on the higher chances in the lottery but its more because the other teams in contention for the play in spot are so shitty (Mainly LA but also New Orleans). The Spurs got the 10th spot last year at 33-39, a .458 record. Right now with the lakers in 10th place they're 31-43, a .419 record. The 9th place team was the Warriors with a .542 record, this year its New Orleans at .427. The bottom of the west is shittier with a lot of teams outright tanking in a way that Pop just won't do.
  9. I think the hard plastic kid pools like that are usually made of of low density polyethylene which do not contain BPA, similar to to what's used for water/soda bottles. There are other chemicals used to manufacture it but it seems like its considered generally safe. Inflatable pools are made of PVC which is what you would want to avoid because of the high BPA levels. It could also be made of high density polyethylene which is considered safer than low density. The plastic type could be different from one pool to the next though. You could use grow bags in the place of the poly bags with similar results and still not be very expensive.
  10. I'm not sure Mike Woodson is going to be much better. At least he can say he was mediocre in the NBA rather than college I guess.
  11. And the knock on Beard at UALR was that he completely turned over the shitty roster that went 13-18 and brought in better players, keeping the best one, and then went 30-5?
  12. I don't think we have it in us either but I also don't think we win the play in. If the Lakers fall into the 7-10 range and LBJ and Davis come back there's no way we win. Memphis and Dallas would probably beat us. We would likely beat the Warriors and Sacramento if they're in that play in spot. This is assuming we're in the lottery after losing the play in, at least that's how I think it works.
