    Some idiot on NBA radio suggested the Rockets should trade Sheppard, Eason, and two 1sts for Ja Morant. I wouldn't trade Sheppard for Morant straight up. Morant would be like adding Jalen Green back into the picture. We don't need a PG because Sengun and Durant can get their own shots without the need for an initiator. Really we need a CG that can shot the ball more consistently than Okoge.

    I wouldn’t trade a protected first for Morant. He’s washed.

    They should shit on OKC's offense since Houston leads them in both offensive rating and overall adjusted net rating. 

    Well let’s see what they focused on. 
     

    - 3rd quarter stall against the Cavs. Welp, Durant played like shit for the first time this season. No other examples. That’s it. Just this game. Just this quarter.

    - The female host kept repeating the Rockets are the worst 3 point shooting team in the league. They’re near the top in percentage. Near the bottom in attempts. 21st in made 3’s. So they’re not the worst, and nobody checked her once. I’m fine with them taking wide open 3’s and taking everything else to the basket. See the Celtics postseason. 
     

    - People get paid well for this bullshit. Please teach me how. 

  3. And there it is.

    Spoiler

    The others can’t lie. Gilligan is a genius, but deception is humanity’s greatest strength to defeat the aliens is not entirely original. It’s basically the premise of 3 Body Problem. 

    I’m still all the way in, and I’m excited to see VG’s vision.

    Pretty safe bet that more people have access to Peacock and/or Prime these days than TNT.

    Prime for sure. I believe 200 million Americans subscribe to Amazon Prime. 
     

    Netflix is around 90 million.

    Udoka coaching a the most efficient offense in the league, just as everyone expected.

    The Athletic NBA Daily podcast went of their own to shit on the Rockets’ offense today. 
     

    If I didn’t know better, I think Rockets at Cavs was the first Rockets game they’ve watched this year.

    Ingelsby telegraphed Season 2 in every interview for weeks. So no surprise, but I’m glad he locked down Ruffalo. 
     

    I’d watch the hell of Ruffalo taking down the Dark Hearts.

    Sabonis had a great career, just not in the NBA - He came to the NBA already worn down.

    Yes I’m aware Sabonis blew out his knee in the late 1980s and was never the same. I could have worded that better.

    Kind of wild that Junior never developed the 3 ball as part of his game.

    I enjoyed the story and the acting.  I don't know that a second season based upon a different set of fact would be near as good.

    Pretty nice redemptive arc for Hawke’s character. I’m not sure I’d mess with that in Season 2.

    However, if Harjo can get Hawke back and Dinkage for more than 1 episode, I’m intrigued. 
     

    Hard to figure out what the hell Dinklage wants to do. His most recent project is Shakespeare in the Park. And allegedly Rian Johnson is shopping Dinklage as the lead in Poker Face Seasons 3 and 4 to the streamers after Peacock declined to pick it up again. I’d probably want to be on a Harjo show rather than a Rian Johnson corpse, but hey what do I know?

    In a Rockets thread, the comp has to be Ralph Sampson. Wemby’s a terrific player, but guys over 7’2” tend to have a short shelf life. Think Ralph hung it up in his early 30s, which unfortunately is where I think this is headed.

    Ralph was certainly a great player and his career ended too soon, but he never had the handles or 3 point shot that Wemby has.

    Wemby is great and I hope he stays healthy and has a long career. 

    But I have a theory that once you get to a certain height, around 7"2 or 7"3 + , that gravity wins out. 

     

     

    All of this. Hate the team. Don’t hate the player unless it’s Draymond.

    I believe Wemby is 7’5’’ without shoes. He’s asking his body to move like peak Chris Paul. It’s going to keep happening.
     

    The closest comp I can up with is Arvydas Sabonis. I hope Wemby has a happier story. 

  11. Ole Miss trying to squeeze Kiffin is bizarre, and demonstrates Ole Miss’ crippling insecurity. You’re lucky to have him. Enjoy the ride. Match any offer. 
     

    This shotgun wedding shit I only goin to backfire.

    VaTech made their absolute best hire possible. Franklin will easily average 9 wins a year, and he’ll zero in on DMV recruiting. With some modest NIL support, he should kill there.
