Dallas will be probably be looking for a PG too. This isn’t going to a nice and cheap trade. Schroder at 3 years $45 million is looking better every minute. DFS taking the first month of the season off is also not ideal.

So probably .500 basketball until they can make a move in December. Super awesome.

Windhurst and Lowe are going to have the Rockets out of the play-in if they drop this game. The daily NBA reactionary takes are a scene.

Assuming the Red Rowdies young blonde lady isn’t a lesbian (?), I assume the thread would bang. Pretty sure spacesuit man is 3 putt.

Netflix Recommendations
Mob War: Philadelphia v The Mafia is the number 2 show currently, so it’s relevant. It’s a very similar format to Fear City and Get Gotti. FBI agents and prosecutors sucking their own dicks and glossing over major failures. Mafia guys aren’t much smarter so it evens out.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
I just watched little girl work out a geometry problem. She had to figure out how wide she had to open a door to get her lamb chop through. It took her a couple tries, but she figured it out. Nudge the door open with her nose, and then pick up lamb chop. Her lamb chop is bigger than she is so it’s always funny to see her running around the house with it in her mouth. I wish I had a picture.

Why Does Mississippi State Exist?
All of this. But they’d murder their families to beat Texas on Saturday. Libby especially on his wife’s side.

I pulled the trigger. The goldendoodle connection got me. I hope it’s good.

Hoops & Goons: FBI, NBA, College Hoops, and the Mob - Now with More Indictments
Pretty wild. The indictments include members and associates of the Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese families. That’s everybody in NYC except the Colombos who have everything on hold until their boss gets out of a halfway house/supervised release. Two names stuck out to me. Ernest Airllo is basically running the Bonanno Family right now. He’s very high up, in the administration. Joseph Lanni is a Gambino captain. He’s probably going to have to eat 6-8 years in a separate racketeering case. If he can’t get the rigged poker case years to run concurrent, he could be looking at 10+ years. He’s in his 50s, so maybe he talks. I was traveling today, did anybody catch Zach Lowe? I believe his guest tied an individual to Rozier and to Billups/rigged poker games. He was named in the podcast. I just can’t remember.

Need him to spell KD. Get well soon.

Okogie is a Thunder in spirit. Can’t shoot for shit, but plays his ass off on defense and makes winning plays around the basket. Tiny sample size, but maybe he can close games at the 2? I wish he could play point guard because the dude is down to scrap.

The Nets have 15 point guards. Can any of them play?

I’ll save my officiating bitching for June when they eliminate us from the playoffs.

The best part of this game is Alpie making Caruso look a bald bitch. I respect their out of the box thinking. Put Caruso on a much bigger player and then foul him mercilessly because they won’t call it due to the size disparity. They did the same shit against Jokic in the WCF.

Yeah if Amen has some kind of injury, they are fucked because they can’t make a trade until December I believe. That said, this is good for Reed. He’s either going to sink or swim.

The podcasters were creaming their jeans about OKC’s depth. SGA is the only player on their team that can create his own shot right now. Not ideal.

He might beat us tonight, but daring SGA to shoot 3’s is the formula to beat OKC.

KD’s old ass should have to play another 5 minutes of basketball for missing that free throw. NBC’s advertisers have to be thrilled with 3 hour basketball games

He cuts a deal to inform on the Dark Hearts. The feds have made many, many deals with criminals far worse than Grasso.

I’d say the Thunder are gettable. Game Theory while unanimously and emphatically stated the Thunder would defend their title, they ran through starters’ playoff 3 point percentages and they were dogshit. I don’t think anybody was north of 35% and most of were the 20s.

What a weirdly officiated sequence. It’s almost like the defending champs are at home and the commissioner is in the stands or something.
