  1. The guys on The Mismatch absolutely parrot Simmons. So does Zach Lowe. So Lowe + Mismatch + Russillo in the Conspiracy Bill Echo Chamber. That’s a sizable chunk of The Ringer’s NBA coverage. If you’d like to suggest some new podcasts to listen to, I’m all ears.
  2. They need to go full Tech + Matt Rhule Baylor. Spend most of their money in the portal, and load up high ceiling/long curve developmental high school recruits. The portal part is easy. The high school part is hard. They’d have to evaluate really well, develop really well, and then retain their upperclassmen when they’re ready to play. Venables and his dumb ass “GM” don’t have the tools to any of that shit, so they’ll wander in the desert until they’re humbled and hire a guy like Dillingham.
  3. Again need a miracle + another bad Curry night, but an early local tip could help. A lot of fans are going to be getting off work/in traffic at 6pm Pacific.
  4. Unfortunately I started listening to a lot of The Ringer and The Athletic NBA podcasts. They now run my Spotify feed. Some truly stunning horrific recent takes: - Leaving the Nuggets for dead after Game 3. If I hear one anecdote about the Clippers’ defender depth I’m going to vomit. James Harden plays 35+ minutes a night for them. Unless Bill Russell is playing center, they’re going to have problems on defense. Simmons started the Clippers hype train because he’s a season ticket holder and of course his staff just parrots it. - Penciling the Lakers into the Western Conference Finals after Game 2. LeBron is their only plus defender/rim protector, 40 years old, and you need him desperately on offense too. Terrible matchup against Ant.
  5. Need a miracle to win Game 6, but they’re still kicking.Things could be much worse, we could be the Lakers.
  6. The no heat jalapeños is probably the worst thing they’ve ever done.
  7. Are the individual bottles all spoken for?

    The lunch pork chop at Guadalajara slams and goes hard. Not my favorite place, but it’s worth it for the pork chop. In a shocking development, Blue Agave has elite lamb chops. Some of the best I’ve had in the city. Special bonus, their bartenders are stacked and wear flattering uniforms. Patio looked nice too.
  9. The problem with the stay ready crew is… Brooks is the only decent defender.
  10. Brooks 100% caused all of that shit. Almost got our best player kicked out of Game 6. Memphis might have been on to something.
  11. So… Curry’s game now is 100% shooting 3’s off of screens? He really doesn’t handle the ball much.
  12. Curry might as well fly back to San Fran now.
  13. I hope not. Need as much Skars as possible before the ride stops.
  14. Does Child Leia even make the Top 5 worst things about the Obi Wan series? It’s really close.
  15. Thanks for clarifying. Need subtitles for the Saw lines.
  16. So immersive. 3 hours just flies by. This has been a ride.
  17. Yeah I felt like the Jesse Pinkman Yeah Science! gif would have inappropriate here.
  18. Well… https://www.today.com/health/disease/olivia-munn-breast-cancer-rcna143208
  19. I think this show is Billions on a sleeker platform with big name actors If so, I can 100% live with that and enjoy it.
  20. In his interview on The Watch, Gilroy says it was inspired by a drunken dinner party. His son and niece’s husband were talking shit to each other all night. Gilroy thought it was great, and cast them both for the episode.
  21. Probably played/shot as well as possible, and it wasn’t enough.
  22. Sad, but true. It’s a time and a place for some fans. Much like everybody’s favorite SNL seasons were from 11-14 years of age. I grew up episodes 4-6 because I was born after Jedi and well before Clones. My father loved the films + it’s all we had.
  23. Gilroy was interviewed on the Ringer’s The Watch last week. Of course, he’s a very interesting guy. Sounds like they went all out on the Ghorman episodes, but had to make some cutbacks beginning in S2 E9. He didn’t spoil anything past S2 E3. I’d encourage the thread to give it a listen.
