  1. That's a dumb comment. From '99-'05 league average TS% was .519. In that span AI won 4 scoring titles on .504 TS% and posted 29.1 ppg. So he was scoring at a higher clip than everyone in the league at slightly below average efficiency. He'd be fine and he would develop a better 3 pointer. Another thing - after the rules were changed in 05 league TS% jumped up to .529. AI posted a .532 that season and won the scoring title. League average this season is .581. Lillard is posting .593 next to Giannis. Kyrie is posting. 599 next to Luka. Murray is at .582 next to Jokic. Even if AI was chucking he'd probably be close to that league average number today. Especially if he had a 2nd option worth a shit (which he never had). Trying to compare the spacing and defense of 2024 to the early 2000s is asinine. And he led the league in swipes 3 straight seasons. He wasn't a shitty defender like Trae or Lillard or Kyrie. Kobe - who's obviously a better player - put up .547 from 2000-2002 next to fucking Shaq. That number would be straight up bad for a volume scorer in today's league. Like almost Jalen Green with the car keys bad.

    Give him the armband.
  3. Dumb, drunk Chiefs fans get injured at an NFL game? Better than the 3 guys that passed out dead in their friend's backyard I guess.
  4. I think it's top 3 at worst with LSU and Vandy. Arkansas? K.
  5. Yeah he'd be out for weeks with a knee sprain. But we already knew Bowels was an idiot.
  6. I was completely gutted when he went down. If he can play Saturday and play postseason we have a shot. If he's done then so is this team.
  7. This is a little cynical for my taste and there's no way of knowing that. Garza sucks to the extent that someone else should at least get a shot. If the next guy is just as bad or worse then vote him out next cycle. That's how democracy is supposed to work. Does it work that way? Not really - but the "what's the point in voting" attitude isn't what we need, either. Maybe we'll get lucky and one of the deranged psychos allowed to roam the streets will shiv Garza on his way into work.
  8. I wouldn't give a fuck if Ted Cruz wrote him a check for $5 million. Identity/association politics are so fucking stupid.
  9. I do that too. And the Surly hate for the world's most popular condiment never fails to amuse me.
  10. Then something like D-Day or Thermopylae. Or maybe going back to like 1969 and seeing Jimi Hendrix, Zeppelin, Dylan et al.
  11. How long do I get to stay/have to stay? We talking 24 hours or I actually have to scratch a life together?
  12. Hundreds? Ain't no fucking way. This dude is known for his starting ability, holds the 60m world record, holds the 6th fastest 100m of all time and posted a 4.12 (what looks like an extremely unofficial 4.12, btw). Sprinters don't train for the 40 the way football players do. I'd be surprised if you could find more than 20 or 25 track athletes that could post a sub 4.2. Let's keep in mind that you make a lot more money playing football than running track.
  13. See this lady gets it. All of the memes about "my husband never remembers anything! My husband is such a slob!"
  14. So you think that JC only showed "flashes" and never demonstrated his full potential despite going for close to 2k on 6.3 ypc in '07? That dude single-handedly won us multiple games. Sure he could have returned for '08 but that would have been dumb. He had a wildly successful NFL career.
  15. I don't hate KAT but he's completely folded in the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. Acting like he's some integral piece to a championship formula is silly. I wouldn't be surprised to see some Ewing-theory with him out.
  16. Yeah I don't think that's how that works. Orcas have always fucked shit up. They are highly intelligent, adaptable predators just like humans are. I don't think they're upset about the alkalinity of the water and killing sharks out of protest.
  17. Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.
  18. Call me crazy I think you can make a run without him. Just need ANT to go '06 Wade.
  19. I thought maybe his wife was a werewolf.
  20. Dan's is cheaper, better, and on my way home from work. I like P. Terry's better than WB and have for awhile now. I just don't really have a reason to eat at WB anymore.
  21. It's bizarre but hasn't kept them from being 2 games up on the 7 seed despite not getting a ton of KD/Booker/Beal so far. They obviously have nice margins in the other 3 Qs - they're 11th in net rtg and top 15 in both O and D.
  22. Just messing with you. Agree that their future is messy. Mainly commenting on this season. They've put together a decent roster around the big 3 and if they can stay healthy and maybe get hot shooting in a series or two I think they're a legit Finals contender. That was a gritty win in Denver. But, who knows, I've been out on them most of the season. I may change my tune in a couple weeks.
  23. Jamaal went for 1800 from scrimmage and 18 TDs his Jr. season in 13 games.
