  1. We’ll see on the Warriors. I think it’s mostly going to plan with the exception of Draymond very publicly losing his mind.

    Play .500 basketball, limp to the trade deadline, make a big move and go on a run. I don’t see it, but guys like Lowe and Windhurst think Kuminga has trade value because of his contract, and we can fix him/we don’t run Kerr’s offense so he’ll be better here sentiments. That said, I think it’s impossible for them to get a star back. I could see another Butler level player, but not a star.

    Y'all were trash from 3... again (Durant was part of the problem there, too)... and you won. You take those wins in the NBA in 2026.

    Amen is a phenomenal player he just doesn't understand what the offense needs a lot of the time - and goes through stretches that are too long where he isn't scoring or diming. I think it will come around for him. Even when he misses I like when he gets in his bag and isos and tries to score from the midrange. He just needs to pick his spots better (if not more often) and figure out what the team needs and when. He had a couple really bad takes in like three possessions to end the 3Q that were suboptimal and had that brutal missed layup in crunch-time.

    I don't know how many turnovers there were with guys misreading Durant and feeding him shitty passes but it was a lot. Assuming the rotation stays healthy you would hope that that improves as the season goes on.

    Sheppard is still super raw but god damn is he talented and really smart on O. I kind of worry about his length on defense - he'll have to keep scrapping on that end to stay on the floor at times but he seems game.

    Your superpower appears to be Adams and Sengun just beating the shit out of teams and everyone else doing the rest. Any win missing one of those guys or both is a good win.

    Long season and we'll see what happens but y'all have been a blast to watch so far and I love seeing Durant on a team with an actual coach and roster. He seems happy.

    Thank you for having me and apologies if I post too much in here but Durant is my favorite athlete of all-time. I try and keep it Kosher and let y'all do your thing.

    I’m sure I speak for everybody when I say, all are welcome. Especially KD fans.

  3. Very shitty game that Durant bailed us out on. The offense is of course out of sorts without Allie.

    Jabari played pretty well. Amen had his moments, but Ime pulled him very early in the 1st for poor defensive effort and he took a very bad shot in the closing minute.

    DFS is still getting his legs under him, but I’ve been thoroughly unimpressed. Not sure he’s the guy to spell Durant, and I can’t see him closing games.

    yeah, this opinion is unpopular because it's bad. i've only owned one 4r le but have tasted 3/5 since 2020 and it's about the best thing i've ever had in my mouth, and that's including miss may, 2012.

    Not saying it’s bad. Just not my favorite.

  5. Unpopular opinion, but 4RLE might not exactly be my thing. I wish I had sole 14-15 year old 4R SiBs to taste it against. I wasn’t upset when I didn’t get a bottle this year.

    Nuggets injury report tonight is something.

    No image preview

    Sixers vs. Nuggets: Game Preview, Injury Report and How t...

    The Philadelphia 76ers return home on a three-game winning streak to face the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.

    Nuggets:

    • Tamar Bates (left foot surgery) – Out

    • Christian Braun (left ankle sprain) – Out

    • Aaron Gordon (right hamstring strain) – Out

    • Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness; management) – Out

    • Cameron Johnson (right knee bone bruise) – Out

    • Nikola Jokić (left knee bone bruise) – Out

    • Jamal Murray (left ankle sprain) – Out

    • Jonas Valančiūnas (right calf strain) – Out

    Is Braun a high ankle or something? It feels like he’s missed a ton of games.

    Thoughts from the Weekend

    It has been roughly 80 hours since the portal opened on midnight of January 2nd.

    In that time, Texas has secured four signings: Three specialists and a 380-pound nose tackle from Arkansas who logged more than 460 snaps last season. Geffrard, in particular, fills a clear positional need Texas identified heading into January.

    The Longhorns have also hosted the No. 1 player in the portal in WR Cam Coleman, as well as Michigan OT Andrew Sprague, Florida State DB Edwin Joseph, and several others are slated to visit Monday and beyond.

    For about a month now, myself and others have been preaching the 'All In' mentality that Texas was set to bring to the portal. I believe now, I will be referring to Texas in the portal to being 'Aggressive' from here on. It's a bit misleading, going All-In typically indicates you are completely committed to a cause and will exhaust all avenues to achieve something.

    Texas should still put together a very aggressive class. But what I want to shy away from is the idea that if Texas is linked to a player, that means that player will be in burnt orange next year.

    It just isn't that simple.

    The Isaac Brown ordeal from Sunday night reminded me a bit too much of the Kenneth Grant or Mason Graham saga from last year. Or the rumors around Peter Woods from Clemson after the CFP game. Or Chris Bell, who also returned to Louisville. 

    Or even for guys who did enter the portal. Remember the Jordan Addison deal as well? 

    Or the connection to David Bailey and Lee Hunter a year ago.

    It is no secret agents and players use the Texas name and logo to garner extra dollars from the school they originally wanted to stay at.

    The list of names Texas is rumored to be after mirrored that of an all-conference lineup. Some have entered the portal. Some have not. If Sunday night taught us anything about the rumored targets, it is that there is both reason for optimism and hesitancy. 

    I hate being wrong. And when I said it sounded like Brown and Texas were nearing a marriage, it's because that was what was portrayed to me. Yet, I was wrong.

    Louisville went full LA Clippers in 2015 to re-sign DeAndre Jordan this weekend. And it worked.

    What gets overlooked at times is, hey, some other schools are in positions where they need to match the desperation of Texas. 

    However, there is no reason Texas should not be one of the most aggressive schools in the country when it comes to the portal this window. Arch Manning's final year + one of the game's most instant gamebreakers in Colin Simmons spearheads your defense. 

    Again, I do believe Texas is going to fill the majority of its needs 

    If going All In is the true message this year, there is no reason to penny pinch. No reason to sit on money. No reason to look for deals. You do what is required to get the deal done. That goes for Cam Coleman, the Michigan offensive linemen and for now, whatever is necessary to get a true bell cow at Texas for 2026.

    I guess to wrap this up, my approach to Texas in the portal moving forward is this: Texas will be aggressive. 

    How aggressive? I don't know. History tells me they will finish 2nd or 3rd in portal fights that they would have liked to have won when looking back around week 3 or week 9 of the season.

    And CJ falls on his sword for Gerry and Bobby. I admire him for the mea culpa.

    This morning, Gerry tried to deflect that he implied and made us believe Isaac Brown was going to enter the transfer portal, visit Texas, and that Texas would be favored to land him. I like OTF, and they are the best of the $9.95 sites, but sometimes they are a little too optimistic once a player is on the Texas coaching staff’s radar.

    I might listen just for the crawfishing.
