    I'm no binnington fan but I think people are way overblowing that stunt. he was being cheeky - there's no way he seriously thought he'd be able to take it. anywho

    With anyone else I would agree with you.  Binnington is such a prick, he's the one guy I could see trying to keep it.

    Yeah, my wife has a friend that lives in Parker and it’s fucking awful out there. I have no idea why she bought a house out there. Well, I do know, but I wouldn’t prioritize my budget on luxury handbags and skincare over living in a non-MAGA hellscape, but that’s just me.

    Funny thing is, I used to live just north of Parker at 470 and Gartrell.  The Parker weirdness doesn't go north of 470.  It does go south, though. Franktown, Elizabeth, Castle Rock are all very MAGA.

    Springs is like most Texas cities -- the city itself is blue (they have a Dem mayor), but the suburbs are deep red.  It's just hard to picture that because of the prominence of Dobson's organization and the AFA. But most of the AFA people live in Monarch or Falcon or one of the other suburbs.

    Let's not forget the Army base just south of town.

    Just wanted to say that I spent the last 2.5 weeks working for Jefferson County elections, and the amount of work and organization that goes into running an election is absolutely jaw-dropping.

    And any fucking moron who claims than an election is rigged in this country should be required to work on one.  

    I get unreasonably mad when I hear people (we all know who they are, but in the spirit of the thread I won't name names) shitting all over mail in voting.  It is extremely safe, secure and easy. Every sate should do elections like CO and a couple other states do. Instead we've got folks trying to roll everything back to waiting in line to vote at the elementary school.

    I get that theme of this thread.  But this and the Vivek/D'nesh stuff goes way beyond "I voted against my own interests" into "this shit is scary as fuck" territory.

    Yes, yes, I know this has been our concern all along.  But the way the worst have come out of the woodwork is just incredibly demoralizing.  

     

    The bigger issue, IMO, is that Vivek, Kash and D'nesh would all vote for Trump again tomorrow even with all this shit coming out. How do you break the cult's hold on people?

    Well, I was figuring there are directs from FRA and LHR to CDMX.  But yeah, even a connection from there to Monterrey gets em pretty close.  The other challenge is finding flights that don't transit through the US.

    That's right.  Need to look at travel that takes us to and from more stable, functional countries.  Like Mexico.

    We are rapidly becoming a fascist failed state.

    We flew from CDMX to Barcelona and back a few weeks ago.  Was easy peasy.  Getting to and from the CDMX airport, OTOH, is not for the faint of heart.

    Every eligible former MVP has been inducted to the HoF.

    Embiid is an interesting case though.

    Well, there's your answer whether we think he deserves it or not (I would lean towards no).

    I really want someone, anyone to punch Jas and Jag in the fucking mouth 

    Nah, I like them.  Can't believe they have CDLs but couldn't figure out how to push down to get into R, though.

    Question for the masses, as I am biased af and cannot answer objectively as a Celtics fan:  Is Joel Embiid a Hall of Famer?
     

    Never played anywhere close to 82 games, and only 65+ 2x.  Even in the 20-21 Covid season he only played 51/72.  Ignoring his 1st 2 seasons w/ no games played and this current season, he's only played in 62% of the regular season for his career.  If you need to play in ~80% of games today to get an award, how do you justify the HOF for someone who played so little? (I'm aware it's not an NBA award)

    Never so much as played in the Conf Finals, much less an NBA Finals.  As far as I can tell, the only 2 players in the HOF that didn't play in a Conf Finals are Bernard King and Drazen Petrovic.


    Conversely, he does have an MVP trophy, was All NBA 1x, and the Basketball HOF is much more like the Hall of Pretty Good. 

    Are there any other MVPs not in the HOF (I don't know, I'm asking)?

    Sportsurge.net for me works well

    Agreed on Cam. He’s been struggling a bit with off ball movement and spacing but he’ll get it figured out.

    I will say that it feels good to not have to have at minimum 3 starters playing a great game scoring. Felt the past couple of years our margin for error was much more narrow. THJ is great to see.

    LOVE what I’m seeing with JV and him and Jamal’s 2 man game has been awesome too. Curious to see if we’d ever play JV and Jokic at the same time.

    It is nice to have the option to play big if the other team does it to the Nuggets. Not sure how often they will do it, though.

  11. fucking Jamal Murray.  the one player MN couldnt afford to get hot, goes nuclear in the 3rd. Tim Hardaway JR goes semi nuclear at the same time for 20 pts off the bench and will probably go 2-7 for 6 pts next game. 
     
    Denver finally beat us, damn it. i do like the Joker/ Jonas V rotation, that'll be a beating for anybody if either doesn't get hurt. I wasn't the biggest buyer  in the Cam Johnson sweepstakes last year as some teams thought he was needed for the missing piece from Brooklyns fire sale. am i missing something? I know new team give him a minute...but hes with the best player in the world and was probably denvers 9th best player. 
     
    Maybe it was more getting out of the MPJ contract than anything. 8:30 CDT tips should be illegal if they arent on a holiday weekend or Friday/Saturday. stupid.
     
    tomorrow NBC has a game on at 10PM central lol 
    Cam is still figuring out where he fits on the team. I think he'll be fine, though. The rest of the starters have been together for 3 years.

    I am also liking the JV minutes. Competent bench play is really nice to have.

    Wish I could have watched. Fucking Peacock games.
