  1. Pretty wild. The indictments include members and associates of the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese families. That’s everybody in NYC except the Colombos who have everything on hold until their boss gets out of a halfway house/supervised release. Two names stuck out to me. Ernest Airllo is basically running the Bonanno Family right now. He’s very high up, in the administration. Joseph Lanni is a Gambino captain. He’s probably going to have to eat 6-8 years in a separate racketeering case. If he can’t get the rigged poker case years to run concurrent, he could be looking at 10+ years. He’s in his 50s, so maybe he talks. I was traveling today, did anybody catch Zach Lowe? I believe his guest tied an individual to Rozier and to Billups/rigged poker games. He was named in the podcast. I just can’t remember.
  2. Need him to spell KD. Get well soon.
  3. Okogie is a Thunder in spirit. Can’t shoot for shit, but plays his ass off on defense and makes winning plays around the basket. Tiny sample size, but maybe he can close games at the 2? I wish he could play point guard because the dude is down to scrap.
  4. The Nets have 15 point guards. Can any of them play?
  5. I’ll save my officiating bitching for June when they eliminate us from the playoffs.
  6. The best part of this game is Alpie making Caruso look a bald bitch. I respect their out of the box thinking. Put Caruso on a much bigger player and then foul him mercilessly because they won’t call it due to the size disparity. They did the same shit against Jokic in the WCF.
  7. Yeah if Amen has some kind of injury, they are fucked because they can’t make a trade until December I believe. That said, this is good for Reed. He’s either going to sink or swim.
  8. The podcasters were creaming their jeans about OKC’s depth. SGA is the only player on their team that can create his own shot right now. Not ideal.
  9. He might beat us tonight, but daring SGA to shoot 3’s is the formula to beat OKC.
  10. KD’s old ass should have to play another 5 minutes of basketball for missing that free throw. NBC’s advertisers have to be thrilled with 3 hour basketball games
  11. He cuts a deal to inform on the Dark Hearts. The feds have made many, many deals with criminals far worse than Grasso.
  12. I’d say the Thunder are gettable. Game Theory while unanimously and emphatically stated the Thunder would defend their title, they ran through starters’ playoff 3 point percentages and they were dogshit. I don’t think anybody was north of 35% and most of were the 20s.
  13. What a weirdly officiated sequence. It’s almost like the defending champs are at home and the commissioner is in the stands or something.
  14. I should clarify, I could see Grasso becoming a paid informant undercover in the Dark Hearts in S2. I agree, his policing days are done.
  15. I think Fargo would be a better fit. He’s obviously great in a Coen-esque show. True Detective has hitched their wagon to the profoundly overrated Issa Lopez.
  16. Catching up The Gold, and going to bed. This is awful.
  17. I think I’m there too. Tom’s ending was beautiful. BUT Ingelsby seems very interested in exploring Tom’s home life. Every answer to will be thee be a Season 2 begins with Brad talking about how messy Tom’s life is and his fascination with the character. This thread will probably melt down, but S2 could be an exploration of the Brandis Family with a crime being the auxiliary story. I’d bet on Tom, the Brandis kids, Bullseye, and DJ GrassaNoPussy coming back. All of the Dark Hearts that knew Grasso is the mole are dead, so maybe he goes full Departed and goes undercover as a bent former cop.
  18. Another bullet point on the Bud Elliott doesn’t know shit slide show: He said Norvell would get fired on Sunday or today. “They don’t like the optics of Norvell moving into the new football facility that is opening this week. So they have to fire him on Sunday or Monday.” Sure enough, the FSU AD comes out today and says Norvell’s future won’t be addressed until after the season. I think they’re praying he can find a soft landing and they don’t have to pay the full buy out or he pulls a Napier 2024 miracle and rips off 5 straight wins. I think LSU is just screwed. T-Bob kind of hinted at it on Barstool this morning. With their NIL investments they have to pay out the string.
  19. Finale thoughts.
  20. I’d trade Tari for Derrick White. I have no idea how they’d have to structure that deal to match salaries.
  21. I’m hesitant to go down that road. All of the National podcasters LOVE Tari and are thirsty for the Rockets to trade them to their favorite team. Usually the Celtics or Knicks.
  22. I’m curious what the offer was. Eason for sure would have rejected $15 million a year.
  23. Yikes. Gotta be Stone’s first misstep in recent memory. These RFA deals are rarely team friendly.
