  1. That's the thing that OKC fans/media don't get. It's not the number of free throws or the ticky-tack subjective calls that tend to go his way. That's basketball, and we've all witnessed it called differently for different players for decades. It's the plays that straight up aren't basketball and are done with little or no effort to make a basket, just draw bullshit, awkward contact. The James Harden shit.
    He's probably about to win more than James Harden ever has, so he'll never be derided like him. But it's not a comparison any player should be looking to draw.
    Yep. OKC is a very unlikable team because of that. FTA and Dort are on the floor 20-30 times a game looking to draw fouls.
  2. What's the hardest part about telling the Williams' duo apart? 
    Finding a reason to.
    Missed the first quarter because I was sick driving. Listening to the Nuggets announcer differentiate them was funny.

    Byron White says "Hey, does being a Supreme Court Justice count for anything?"

    Good point.  CU is the one that put out that stat.  I wonder if Academic All Americans wasn't a thing yet? He certainly would have qualified for it.

    EDIT: Yep, Academic All Americans wasn't a thing until 1952

    General question on the graduation GPA. 

    If I were to start my academic career two years elsewhere, say UTSA,  transfer to UT and then graduate with my degree does the second school count the grades of the first school in the GPA graduation?

    Really a silly question, but I never really thought about it before and was curious. 

    I think it varies by school.  no idea how it really works, TBH.

    He's is pretty cool and if young football players are looking to emulate someone Hunter would be a really good choice. He made that woman's day just by being kind and well mannered.  I read a story about his background recently and this is exactly who he is all of the time according to those who know him the best. I have no team in the NFL so I'll just watch his games and hope he does well playing both ways. 

    Graduated CU with honors (3.8 GPA), too.  First CU player ever who was an Academic All American and a first team All American.  According to him, all he does is play football, watch film, play video games and fish.

    I have a super unpopular opinion:

    I actually think Sanders is going to be a great QB in the league (top 10 QB, if not an MVP candidate one day) and think he’s going to have a 10-year+ career. He’s impressed me with his positive attitude with all the chaos that’s happened and he doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously IMO. If prediction markets would let us buy a stake in a players career he’d be a huge value buy for me, based on how he’s pretty much been buried before playing a snap.

    The raw skill was never an issue. He's definitely got the tools to turn into a very good NFL QB if he can get his head straight.

    It’s tough watching Porter out there. He’s trying, giving all he can but, he really shouldn’t be out there. Someone else should be out there. 

    Yeah, even if they start him in Game 6, I think he needs to have a short leash.  If he's not hitting shots, get him out of there and give Watson the minutes.  He's far better defensively and can hit a few shots here and there.  Much better than a one armed, ice cold MPJ.

    San Juan River Village is about halfway between town and Wolf Creek + on the river with Mountain View’s.

    Not gonna be much to do there, nor places to eat.

    Granby Ranch 100 times out of 100 for me. Quiet, but can be in Winter Park in 15 minutes if you want. Can ski both places with ease.

    I would ordinarily steer folks away from Granby Ranch but in this case it could be a good fit.

  9. Just a rough game today. Bad shooting on both sides. Game trend started the same as G3 (lost 1st, won the next 2 quarters) just that the Nuggets got their ass kicked in the 4th. Disappointed we couldn’t find AG or CB more when Murray wasn’t finding his shot. Up 6 to start the 4th to go up 3-1 only to lose hurts real bad right now.
    Nuggets went ice cold in the 4th after they got the lead.

    On to game 5...
