  1. Peak Tripplehorn’s bare ass. Passable Costner performance. Dennis Hopper. Interesting premise. What’s not to like?
  2. Gibraltar sized boulder of salt, but Simmons doesn’t think the Rockets are done and Mahoney agrees with him. He thinks we’re overstocking our roster for a big 3 for 1 deal at the deadline. Giannis would obviously be a target.
  3. If Ojo can’t play right away, it will screw up their entire model of scratch off tickets high school recruiting and overpaying for proven transfers. Also it gets real interesting if they fail to make the Big 12 Championship this season. If Campbell will pay $5 million for Ojo, surely he has to spend on replacing McGuire.
  4. Get Turntine today. Go big game hunting nationally for an Ojo replacement. No big deal. Tech will tire of overpaying for players that don’t improve their program like Hudson.
  5. Well, Bill Simmons might get some sleep tonight. His worst nightmare of Horford to the Lakers didn’t come to fruition.
  6. Should have quietly dealt Cam immediately before public bitch/cry number 1. Are the perennial late round draftees going to look twice at it? LeBron wants to set first round picks on fire.
  7. He’s a former Tech letterman. Sold his O&G company a couple times to become a billionaire. Almost certainly putting superdeal number 3 together right now. Constantly bitches about Tech not getting a bigger piece of the PUF. Conveniently ignores UTPB is in the middle of the oil patch while Tech is in some fringe enhanced recovery plays 140 miles to north of University Lands. He’s a hell of a salesman. No argument there.
  8. Cody Campbell’s sand aggy jar runneth over.
  9. Shit. Meant to put the Spurs in the play in tier. My bad.
  10. I think they’re more concerned about cutting the cancer out before Ime beats Cam’s ass at a practice and it becomes a bigger deal than it is.
  11. Problem with the Spurs or Dallas ranking?I forget who you root for.
  12. In the Rockets defense, the Whitmore seller’s market could be KD trade level shitty. The rest of the league knows they have to trade him. Cam doesn’t play defense or pass. He’s also a pouty bitch that doesn’t get along with his coach. He be could radioactive to half the NBA.
  13. OKC is in a tier by themselves. Denver, Houston, and The Great White North in the second tier. LAL, LAC, GSW in the third tier. Memphis is solidly a playoff team, probably. Play in: Portland, Dallas, Sacramento. Lottery: NOLA, Utah, Phoenix.
  14. Heavily protected first for Cam sounds right. Salary dump + charitable donations to the Lakers does not.
  15. Yeah I believe Jon Hamm confirmed this. He said some of his younger co-stars smoked the real things, and became sick during shooting.
  16. Where have you been? They have $2k boots now. https://www.tecovas.com/products/the-marshall?color=coffee-crocodile
  17. Petition to move the team to Taos?! What Houstonian would argue with it right now? Team just excels at high altitudes and cooler weather.
  18. I put off spaying the puppies until as late as possible. Today was the day. Any tips would be appreciated. We have plenty of meds.
  19. I’m touring a ranch near El Campo next week. It’ll be interesting to see if my hosts address it. I’m sure it’ll come up.
  20. Indian Summer on Prime. A group of friends from camp reunite after 20 years for a long weekend. The Big Chill it is not, but it’s a pleasant summer movie with terrific actors that stay in their lane.
  21. How does the thread feel about John Hollinger? He was pretty dismissive of the Rockets chances. “They only have one PG they trust.” Lowe chimed in with a “DFS doesn’t shoot it well enough to worry other teams.” They then both jerked each other off the Spurs. “Smart to stay out of the Durant sweepstakes. Kornet is a really good back up center. Such a smart move, good contract. Called Vassell a blue chip prospect (he’s on his second fucking contract and has been in the league since 2020). Keeping their powder dry for Giannis.” Not a peep about Spurs being too cute, Giannis staying with the Bucks, Wemby staying healthy, or the possibility of the Spurs not even making the playoffs. They really are the armchair GMs’ darling. They did acknowledge San Antonio being a bitch to fly in and out of and residents like Bud Light Lime.
  22. What was the in game update? I just heard the tail end of Blummer’s discussion. “Hand isn’t healing. No progress.” I think he’s had hand issues before. It feels like they’re going to have to put a plate in there or something drastic.
  23. If it was only that simple. Lowe’s LeBron expert thinks he wants to maximize his earnings in his remaining season. So a buyout + another contract. Allegedly Bron thinks the league owes him after he took less money a couple times. It sounds like Lowe ultimately thinks he stays, but he wants to nudge the Lakers into win now mode again and stop their efforts to save money to build around Luka. Sounds like there’a some friction between Bron/Rich Paul and Pelinka. Pelinka might actually want to be a real GM.
  24. Zach Lowe thinks Bron is looking for a buyout. That would be some wild shit.
