  1. They needed a center badly at that point. So the Adams pick was fine. Obviously not Giannis but an integral part of a bunch of good teams.
  2. Presti almost pulled off Harden for Klay. They were working on a deal. Then Jeremy lamb had the summer league of the century and pivoted there.
  3. He’s number one in the league in drives by over 3 per game. Just by that alone, he’s going to get to the line more. Nobody cried when Jokic shot 9 free throws in the first quarter and the Thunder shot 0 in game 7 the other day. In game 6 in the Nuggets series, the Nuggets shot almost 20 more free throws than the Thunder. I get their style of defense leads to more fouls. The Thunder shoot like the 3rd least free throws and commit the second most fouls. So, it’s not like they are winning solely because they get to the line. SGA shoots lots of free throws. Like mentioned above, it’s less than almost every MVP since Jordan other than Curry.
  4. If Jalen Williams plays anything remotely like he did yesterday, the Thunder are raising a banner. Presti getting Caruso and Hartenstein this offseason was a masterclass. Giddey was good but needed the ball. Added the perfect glue guy. I saw an amazing note that of OKCs 11 rotation players, 6 were not drafted or second rounders. Only player drafted in the top 9 was Chet. Their scouting and development is really impressive. Minnesota hasn’t really been pressed this postseason and their regular season matchups were really good. Can’t believe Vegas has OKC as -375 to win the series.
  5. That sucks. Was a bad ass layout back in the day.
  6. I’m just saying if he makes the layup, Ja isn’t jumping. Dorts not reacting and there’s no injury. I fully get being up 27 or whatever and wanting to get the crowd to go ape with a Morant hammer. Just didn’t need to happen on a breakaway.
  7. I mean if Pippen jr. just takes the wide open layup instead of passing back to Ja, there’s nothing to talk about. Dort was just reacting.
  8. So okc winning in 4 while Denver and the clippers play a war to 7 seems ideal for okc
  9. I’m out. Wasn’t meant to be. Lol. Never chase it.
  10. Leave May 31 for England: Birkdale royal Liverpool (hoylake) Royal Lytham and st. Annes sunningdale old and new swinley forest wanton heath come back the 8th. My fat ass will be tired. We did the west coast of Ireland two years ago and LOVED it. Anyone done both and how they compare?
  11. I’ve been doing the Dana white method lately (not to his limits obviously). I take anywhere from 2 to 10k play a hand for let’s say 3. I win, i pull it back. Play another hand, i win. I leave. Splits and doubles can really fuck up the strategy but the discipline to leave doubling your money regardless of how long you have played is a game changer. Casinos hate it.
  12. Golden State is the only team that scares me. Solely because Steph can get 50 anytime and butler and Draymond can slow down SGA and Dub. Hartenstein and Chet would be the difference and the okc is light years better the GS.
  13. Upgrading from Kevin O’Connor to Zach Lowe is like going from Charlie Strong/Herman to Sark. Simmons is on a roll.
  14. If Presti had this bench (and head coach) when KD and Russ were in okc, they’d have a couple banners. 38 year old Derek fisher was our best bench guy for two years. Lol
  15. McCollum McCasland Oats Quinn Snyder Byington from Vandy
  16. To be fair, Dort, Wallace, and Dub have actual injuries. They just played 8 games in 14 games. Absolutely no reason for SGA to potentially roll an ankle against a 76ers team that isn’t even trying. And they won by 33.
  17. Going to England with college teammates in June. Playing Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham and st Anne’s, Royal Liverpool, Sunningdale old and new, swinley forest, and another not so famous. We did Ireland a couple years ago: Lahinch, ballybunion, old head, Waterville, Tralee, and Dooks. We had an absolute blast. Has anyone done both? What should my expectations be? Pretty pumped to play some of the Open rotation courses.
  18. I think it was “open” so anyone could join it automatically connect while searching. Just saw it was Kaylee’s dad who let that slip. They know way more than the public.
  19. Even without the DNA on the knife sheath, the circumstantial case is still pretty damning. Leaves Pullman headed in the direction of Moscow in the early morning hours. Turns off phone or puts in airplane mode. His car or similar car is scene driving down the road in front of the house several times. It connects to the their WiFi. Car is seen leaving the area after the murders. He takes a complete different route home that takes him miles out out of the way. Turns back on his phone and connects to a VPN. Google searches for Ka Bar knives found. Was kicked out of his PhD program for his treatment towards women. Eyebrows match the description from of one the survivors. Internet research posts about how it felt to kill people. His car was in the vicinity of the crime scene 12 times leading up to the murder. when he was arrested, he didn’t ask “what for” only “have they arrested anyone else”. and that’s all that has been released. I’m sure the prosecutors have much more. Either he did it or he’s the unluckiest person in history.
  20. His pace, length, and length make him so hard to guard. Leads the league in drives, naturally you are going to get fouled a lot. They still shoot the 3rd least amount of free throws a game and foul the second most. All these people talking about free throw merchants conveniently don’t get that. There was a great article on the Athletic about his offseason regimen: practices against 8 dudes every morning at 6 or 5 if the gym at his high school is being used and he goes to the YMCA. Always has 2-4 people swarming at him. Has a 6’8” guy to work on his post moves. Goes to the gym before lunch. Back to the gym for shooting from 2-5. That’s insane work. Makes sense how he splits doubles so well, though. Journals every drill, piece of advice, and results and then reads that at night.
  21. OKC addressed their weaknesses from last year. They were undersized and added Hartenstein. Giddey needs the ball to be of any value, but his defense was terrible. Couldn’t play in the playoffs. Also, he took the ball away from SGA. As mentioned above, maybe one more shooter would be nice, but Wiggins (who might be on the best contract in basketball outside of Peyton Pritchard) had really picked up his scoring. His have been great since the all star break. They are also in the top 10 in minutes missed by injury, so Mark has had to experiment with personnel and lineups. That will serve them well in the playoffs.
  22. I like him. Moser can really develop. You can’t take Loyola Chicago to the final 4 and sweet 16 and not be able to coach. I guess he’s just not a great fit for the portal age. Hes got a good class coming in though.
  23. Since Hybl took over, yes. One title, lost in the finals one year, made match play almost every year. A constant top 5 team would be considered a juggernaut to me. Maybe juggernaut is too strong. How about really good.
  24. Riley was a good hire. Bit them in the ass j. in the end though. He’s made a bunch of good other hires and retained Gasso. Krueger took basketball to a final 4. Skip Johnson got baseball to the finals. Men’s golf is a juggernaut. Gymnastics is the best in the country. Women’s basketball was a good hire. he’s had notable misses though. Especially lately. Venables and Moser aren’t the guys. Those are the revenue makers.
