Best case for the Warriors regarding Steph returning is maybe game 5 at the earliest?

Jimmy Butler school of dark arts. The role players on his teams seem to overperform at a significantly higher clip than expected in the playoffs.

NBA 2024-25 Playoff Thread
And no one but the guy cutting the checks (might) care. Ever since LeBron went to Miami (at least for me), the point has been hammered home tome and again that if you can be counted on to show up for the playoffs, I really don't give a shit unless your team doesn't make it. Regular season record usually doesn't matter much when the top players actually show up for all the games.

Ant and others still have plenty of time to become "serious people" to go along with the insane talent. KAT on the other hand is unlikely to change, but that's the Knicks problem now.

The Trump Economy
While I absolutely disagree with this logic, I see why you might look at it that way, and it's largely a non-issue, because California (and about 40 other states). That said, you also had another post where you also raised the reluctance to support Kamala because you felt she didn't do enough to win, and because you didn't think rural America would vote for her. Those types of things seem better suited any discussion prior to her actually getting the democratic nomination. Once that happened, I don't see how reluctance to vote for her because of those issues matter any more. Your choices at that point were vote Harris, vote Trump, don't vote, and I guess vote green party or something.

The Trump Economy
That's the part of the post you found most interesting? How about the whole "I reluctantly voted for her because I knew Trump would be worse." Congrats, he might not get a complete F in common sense, now show the work explaining why the Harris platform was so shitty, the only reason the lever got pulled for her was because Trump was the other option.

College Hoops 2024-25
Career-wise, Izzo is a notch or two below K, Roy Williams, Self, etc...I am by no means belittling his body of work. I do take issue with the whole "Izzo magic" at this point given the recent history. Yeah he can throw together a great team every once in awhile, but outside of those outliers, it seems like he's lost his fastball in terms of getting more out of less. And it's not just Izzo. I thought for years the last 7-8 years of K's career he just managed to pull in top recruiting classes and the talent gap did most of the work where earlier in his career it seemed like the Duke players grew their games under his coaching.

College Hoops 2024-25
Yes they did, after 4 years of pure mediocrity. Izzo didn't earn his rep being above average once every five years (and we've yet to see how the 1 plays out in the postseason). Maybe that would be fine if he were starting out and building MSU from rock bottom, but they're supposed to be a tier or two below perennial contenders, not one year out of five look like a team that should make it past the round of 32.

15-13, 23-13, 21-13, 20-15 the previous 4 years till now. He hasn't gone full Mack Brown yet, but all this "you don't want to see a Tom Izzo team in March/Tom Izzo is a magician" narrative is purely coasting on legacy until proven otherwise at this point.

Didn't Keatts have something in his contract where his tourny run last year automatically extended it?

4-year/$132 million extension after his current contract that pays him $18 million this year. Fuck ESPN and their misleading headlines.

NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
Was there a realistic chance for GS to sufficiently re-tool over the next 1.5 seasons before Curry goes into the final year of his contract? Very doubtful. Might as well give this route a shot if ownership is willing to accept the payroll.

2024-25 MLB offseason thread
Yeah, that offer did get reported by a number of respectable sources today. Yesterday however, it seemed like the few places you could find that were your typical pro-Yankee mouthpieces. For a while there, it seemed like Cashman/Steinbrenner were just throwing that out in public so they couldn't be accused of being cheap.

2024 CFP Selection Show Thread - 11am on ESPN
I'd expect Bama to roll SMU as well, but this is the equivalent of arguing over being the last team out in the March Madness bracket. Don't shit the bed repeatedly and it wouldn't be a discussion.

2024 MWC Championship - UNLV vs. Boise State
25 carries for 192 and 3TDs for Jeanty in Eugene earlier this year. Not saying they wouldn't have a tougher time running against those teams, but declaring they'll get blown out seems entirely premature.

Napier might actually have options in terms of bringing in an OC now that he isn't a dead man walking into next season. He'll still probably fuck everything up by continuing to call plays.
