    Watched some clips of this past weekend and I liked the Uber Eats recap and sensitive strippers (although I'm sure that joke has been done 100 times before). The red haired dude has been a good addition. Not sure why they didn't just hire the rest of the PDD guys as well.

    And I try really hard not to be a hater, but yeah Wickline just staring at the cue cards in every skit drives me nuts. Can't someone just...tell her not to do that? Stop putting her in sketches until she figures it out?

    The dorks at the Saturday Night Network podcast have been clamoring for SNL to cast a black female cast member during the winter break. It would kill 3 birds with 1 stone. 1) Sketches with black female characters again 2) Eliminates the need to put Wickline in sketches when they need another warm body 3) Reduces Padilla’s work load. 
     

    It makes too much sense for them to not do it. 

  2. Good: 

    - Durant blocking shots and getting deflections like it’s the 2018 Finals. 

    - Alpie trading blows with the 3 time MVP.

    - Reed hit a clutch 3 near the end of regulation. 
     

    Bad: 

    - I hated how they defended Murray. Amen or Okogie needed to be in his pocket all night. You’re going to lose when Murray scores 30+ because Jokic is going to get his regardless.

    - They missed a few free throws here and there that would have really helped. I understand missing a couple in the bonus, but they have to finish and 1’s if they’re not going to shoot 3’s with anymore of volume.

    - Turnovers. Denver is a middling defensive team. They have no business forcing 16 turnovers. Durant had 5 and Alpie had 4. I get they initiate the offense and they get trapped on every play. But Okogie had 3. He either needs to tighten that up or they need to bring his minutes way down.

    Even this cold weather isn’t enough to motivate to that proof any longer. I’m sure it’s excellent, but not for me.

    The next time they sell me a hazmat bottle, it’ll be the first. Glad to get one north of 135 proof. Reviews have great. I’m excited to try it, but it’s probably going to have to wait until January.

  4. I love Reiner, but I don’t think he strayed too far from comedy. A Few Good Men and Misery both have plenty of comedic scenes. 
     

    Same for Zemeckis and the Coens.

    Agreed on Mangold. His filmography is all over the place. Oliver & Company to Cop Land. The Sweetest Thing to A Complete Unknown.

    Thanks, I jumped on it. Still mulling over the Single Malt Sherry finish you keep advocating for 🤔

    Try it at a bar if you can. I understand the hesitation at that price point. It’s almost the same price as the JD Tanyard Hill Rye and the other JD special releases.

    One of the rare seasons where I don't feel like we are pretenders heading into the postseason.  Our strengths are legitimately elite, and it feels like our weaknesses are becoming less crippling by the week.

    We won't be a favorite, but I don't think anyone will be happy to see us in the bracket.

    Yep. The Boston chowder heads, including Simmons, are terrified of a Texans first round match up. 
     

    That said, I don’t think we’ll stick at 7. Should move up a few seeds.
