  1. A rare correct prediction from Bill Simmons. I guess one had to stick.
  2. Doesn’t happen without San Antonio getting cute as shit. Thank you Spurs. Enjoy your overrated food and smelly ass river.
  3. I’m guessing the B2’s flew out of Diego Garcia.
  4. Israel needs a strategic bomber. Surely we have something in mothballs we can sell them. But we did the heavy lifting here. Should make for cool TV for a couple days.
  5. The Bailey stuff is wild. We’re 5 days out and Zach Lowe and Mahoney have no idea what’s going on him. The consensus theory was that he wants to go to Brooklyn at 8. If true, I hope his agents enjoy a 38% smaller commission.
  6. Because this thread is a safe place, I’ll say it here. San Antonio is being overly cute if the price for KD is just Vassell, Barnes, and the 14th pick. Barnes plays the same position and Vassell’s numbers only look good because he got a shit ton more shots after Wemby went down. 14 is a rounding error in their current pick portfolio. They’re going to need KD’s scoring punch when Wemby inevitably goes out with one of extremely tall person injuries I can understand the Rockets protecting Jabari. He’s a plus defender and quietly became their best 3 point shooter. One of the few positives from the GSW series. The Rockets could really use KD’s bucket getting ability, but I’m not sure he’s worth Jabari’s upside at 22.
  7. The Bailey thing is hard to figure unless the Spurs told him they were taking him. This almost certainly didn’t happen, so it’s conspiracy theory agent time. Let’s say his people want him in DC. That’s a $13 million haircut. If his people want him in hometown Atlanta, it’s a $19 million haircut. Telling the Sixers to screw is some very wild shit.
  8. If they were very bold they’d let FVV walk and sign Schroeder for like 3 years $45 million. But… FVV is Ime’s guy, so both sides are probably looking for something mutually beneficial.
  9. Given the week we’ve had, a couple public commitments would be great.
  10. I think 7 is worth it if you already have Paramount+. Excellent motorcycle and skydiving stunts. Decent twists too. But I agree with general premise. Nobody wants to watch 150 minutes of stunts. Needs dialogue and humor.
  11. I want to believe. The newest episode of Game Theory pretty much said Jabari or bust. That would be not great given his defensive metrics. I think Ishbia is a stubborn dumb fuck and he runs it back with KD yet again. The guy has gone on and on about not wanting to tank. Going so far as to basically call Game Theory and their listeners GM nerds. Meanwhile, his best player Booker has said he doesn’t want to be on a rebuilding team. Ishbia might need to need to keep KD or get an overwhelming package back to keep Booker happy. I think they’d accept the Twolves thirsty offer of Gobert, Dillingham, and the other the 17th pick. But KD has made it clear he won’t resign there. He’s a lot like us. He’s just trying to get home to Austin.
  12. “Four fried chickens and a Coke. And dry white toast.”
  13. If they can knock FVV down to the 3 years $75 million that’s good for the team, a very tradeable contract, and frankly around what he deserves. My concern is they give him 3 for $90 million and he’s radioactive until 2028.
  14. Them dancing as an old couple always makes me first 5 minutes of Up sad. Such a beautiful, tragic scene. It’s the end of Cheers Part I for me.
  15. This is sublime. Worth the money in my opinion.
  16. Cliffs? It’s behind a paywall.
  17. Can we stop with the mom on Stick is hot? She looks like Latina Vanessa Bayer with big cans. Pretty good show. My wife loves golf and she’s of course hooked.
  18. Ime celebrates by playing chair target practice with Reed Sheppard.
  19. The Locked on Suns guy is deeply, deeply tarded. I won’t even suggest giving his appearance on Locked on Rockets a listen. Actually suggested running it back with Durant and Booker.
  20. And the Bachelor crossover?
  21. The joke is on you friend. We Houstonians have Yellow Rose Distilling running out of a storage unit on 610.
  22. The show has grown on me. I’m laughing quite a bit while I watch it on the bike. Good: - Ava. Janelle James should kill her reps for not getting her on SNL. She could have been a huge star. Not sure why she’s not now. She’s great in every scene. - Melissa really has her moments when she leans into the wop thing. Her being from South and having a guy for everything is hilarious. - Mr Johnson does so much with the little he’s given. Terrific performer. - Mr C. It’s hard to get high strung, gay man right, but he knocks it out of the park. The blacks kids destroying him for being corny is so damned funny. - Interesting episode premises. The desking mystery, Baby Thanos, Story Samurais. Jokes within jokes with a lot of funny stuff going on in the background. - Tariq. Gone too soon. He would great in his show about a struggling rapper. Too bad FX has driven the genre into the fucking ground. Bad: - The Janine and Gregory romance being a page by page copy of Jim and Pam. I understand Brunson probably had to do it to sell the show, but it diminishes their performances. Gregory is probably a pretty funny update on Jim if it wasn’t so deliberate. The eye rolls, reclining the seat like Jim, his disinterest in his job. Props for dating Amber. She is indeed a bad bitch. Even Jim nailed Amy Adams. - Janine is a good straight man, but I can’t remember a single good one liner from her. No great for the creator, showrunner, head writer and star in your own show. Her funniest scenes are with Tariq and he didn’t make it out of Season 1. I know Pam has to break up with Roy eventually, but I would have liked to see more of them together.
