  1. Kind of a Geena Davis meets Trippelhorn meets Laura Kightlinger vibe with a British accent?
  2. With Tatum going down probably through next year, Celtics are doing something. Trading KP expiring is obvious move. Not sure I want Holliday at that age unless relatively inexpensive. But I’d be up for trying to get White.
  3. The Spurs would have been worse but this sucks. There were two teams I wouldn’t have bought a Flagg jersey for and they are picking 1 and 2.
  4. Congrats, Mavs fans, on winning the NBA Lottery and locking up the rights to Kon Knueppel. Nico knows. Trust the genius.
  5. Was going to suggest Nico will probably draft Maluach. Because defense wins championships.
  6. Lebron—>Kyrie AD —> Zion Luka —> Flagg
  7. Of course he’s going to Dallas. Fml.
  8. I guess it's possible the prologue scene was years earlier..... It isn't connected to the rest of the episode, and it seemed Nora knew it was in the air. The pre-credits scene specifically talked about keeping it quiet. Prepuce pointed out correctly that def was the prologue scene woman's son.
  9. I am enjoying Bella Ramsey's performance.
  10. I was stunned Richie didn't give her up on the phone for serving up Brendan. But I guess they need to wait for that plot point to drop.

    Nico was such a bad hire. It’s like hiring fucking Jason Garrett or Brian Mangini.
  12. Man, she fell off the deep end. She wasn’t fucking crazy on January 6th 2021 but she has lost her damn mind and the ozempic is showing in that picture.
  13. Man, Giannis is a top 3 player. There isn’t anyone like him and he’s the closest thing to Hakeem since Hakeem. If he is available for anything less than or equal to 3 of Sengun, Green, Tate, Sheppard, Whitmore, and Smith, and picks, you figure it out. You can find shooters. That’s just me, though.

    To this point…. The supporter section basically missed the second goal because they were so enamored with throwing water on themselves. And when we had that free kick just outside the box, they got really loud in whatever song they were singing woth drums kicking in *right* when we were running up to kick it - how does that help when drums all the sudden start banging as our dude is running up to kick it? I swear 70% of that side isn’t watching the game. I love the enthusiasm but it’s like they are at another event. Are all supporters sections like this? If so, I’ll give them a pass. But it’s like if we started screaming the Texas Fight chant as loud as possible when our offense is working in the Red Zone of DKR and about to score in order to prove which side of the stadium is the loudest.
  15. I think if you add Durant to Orlando and they can keep Franz and Suggs in doing that, that team is pretty fricking good. It’s a similar fix that Durant would bring to the Rockets. Orlando and Rockets were very similar teams. We just had better injury luck and were deeper. But their best player is levels ahead of ours. The problem is Orlando’s draft picks (I presume) aren’t worth much, particularly after that trade. But I think they could package some group of Anthony Black, Isaacs, Cole Anthony, Mo Wagner, Wendell Carter, Jett Howard and picks to the Suns. Edited to add…. A Carter/Isaacs, Banchero, Durant, F Wagner, Suggs lineup is pretty intriguing.
  16. I’m PCing Skenes a bit as I landed a number of his Bowman signatures last year (including a mini diamond auto). Am going to get this graded then figure out if I want to sell. He’ll probably go out for TJ surgery while this is sitting with PSA, lol. I sold a bunch of PC-A in the offseason. Oh well. On the flip side, I dumped a lot of numbered Jasson Dominguez high last year. That’s looking smart.
  17. I’ve been walking around the house singing to my kids at volume “I’m gonna hit your business like it’s momentary blindness” over and over. They love me.
  18. … and the neighbor in Hung …. And from Waiting …. And Sydney Sweeney’s mom in Euphoria. She must be on the HBO call list with Jeffrey Wright and Lester and Herc from The Wire.
  19. I can’t believe we are comparing Durant and Giannis. I love KD. Hook ‘Em. But, yeah, you do something like what the Clips did for Harden or maybe a little better. Maybe Brooks, one of our bench vets and Green plus their pick back and a swap or two. Giannis is a different story. If he is on the table, no one but Amen is untouchable depending on combo of players. I’d do Brooks, Green, Sengun, and Whitmore plus picks if that is what it took. Then go get 1 or 2 Cam Johnson types and/or a bench PG. and I love Sengun but not more than I’d love to root for Giannis.
  20. I’ll clarify up front that I am not saying any of these guys will be as good as the comps I am about to make became. But…. - Sengun’s metrics are on par with 22-24 yo Jokic. - Green and Booker’s stats through age 22 are almost identical but Booker was the only scoring option on a worse team. He was a great stats bad team guy until he wasn’t. - Amen is a bigger Westbrook with more basketball smarts. - Jabari should be a senior in college. Everyone is still so damn young, we still don’t know what we have for better or for worse. I am all for trading any of Green, Whitmore, Sheppard and even Eason/Smith this offseason if it gets a top 20 guy. I’ll even listen to requests for Sengun if Giannis is on the table. But please no Trae Young or LaMelo. But knowing this is a good regular season team now, if the right offer isn’t on the table, I am also reluctantly OK with running it back, and having FVV’s and Brooks’ expirings, Green, and rookie contracts to flip at the deadline for a star. But Sheppard has to get more run next year or that pick is a bust year two given the guys drafted behind him that are contributing.
  21. My kiddo opened up a Topps Heritage Value Box from target just now and pulled this….. No comps yet, but will be curious to see how the few up on eBay sell. I’ll probably get it graded.
  22. So sell my Jake Myers 1/1 superrefractor rookie card now?
  23. Why are people still shitting on the Green contract? It’s a contract that lets him bet on himself while tying him up long enough (but not too long) to make it tradable if we need to. It was a really smart move. What attainable PG out there should we chase? I am not sure what is out there and attainable that improves us. I’d like to godfather Phoenix for Booker depending on where we land in lottery (Brooks, Green, Whitmore, maybe one more, and their 2025 pick back plus any other picks that may be required), then sign a Jones brother as a backup point guard and exercise option on FVV if Sheppard in the trade and you have his expiring in 2026 to upgrade again. If we keep Sheppard, I may be ok letting FVV walk and see what we have. All that said, I can’t get a trade for Booker to work in the Trade Machine PHX’s cap situation is all borked. It Booker doesn’t work then turn turrets to Giannis, then if that doesn’t work, Maxie.
  24. Sengun got fouled but that was never getting called. Such horseshit. Draymond should have been gone in 2nd. League doesn’t want GS out.
