  1. Injuries are never anything to sneer at, but Jalen strained his hamstring again on Sunday. Only played in 2 games this season.
  2. I’ll go ahead and say Sexton is still the king. Jimbo will all get every red cent of his aggy $77 million buyout, and he got $19.2 million of it within 60 days of his termination. aggy didn’t try anything cute because they’re desperately afraid of Sexton and raised the money. Kelly is playing a risky game, but this is likely his last stop so he has nothing to lose. Anything is possible in Louisiana state government. Would it surprise anyone if Landry held a presser tomorrow and said Kelly rejected our third and final offer, so we’re going to stop paying him? Armstrong should have structured the buyout with immediate cash up front.
  3. Does the thread think Amen has the skill set to be the primary ball handler? His best games have been playing off ball and cutting to the basket. Asking Segun to take the inbounds pass, dribble 80 feet, post up, and then whip it to Amen on a back door cut 30 times a game is heavy lift. Alpie is also the primary rim protector when Adams or Clint aren’t on the court. So Reed and Amen need to play off ball. That means KD or Alpie initiate the offense. Any half ass defensive team understands this and they’ve run 2 people at them in the back court to wear them out.
  4. It’s a really odd contract. Trace Armstrong is an outstanding agent, but he didn’t get a written buyout deadline from LSU. They can just pay him $800,000 every month until his contract expires. LSU and their regard attorney think this is their leverage, and why they expected Kelly to take $20-25 million in a lump sum. Kelly should reject any settlement. Make those regards pay.
  5. Great, but it’s not sustainable long term.
  6. I watched the dubbed version and it was extremely distracting.
  7. Davidson was the high point. Not great. Not one other memorable moment. Need a banger episode from Glenn Powell.
  8. While I love Reed’s progress, and agree we needed him desperately against the Bucks, he’s still playing off ball. He’s gotta at least help with some of the ball handling, taking it up the court, and imitating the offense. Their opponents are double/trapping Durant in the backcourt on many possessions. As pointed out upthread, that’s not going to work on 37 year old legs over a 100+ game season.
  9. Yeah they’re losing on the road to the Chiefs. KC is a black hole. Need to split with the Colts. Bills are at home. Thank goodness.
  10. A Gilligan adaptation of 3 Body Problem would have been incredible. Happy to get something that plays in the same sandbox.
  11. Yikes. What a weird show.
  12. Through Episode 1. My best guess.
  13. Shiv, you’re out. You’ve been replaced by a younger model. Charlotte Spencer from The Gold.
  14. Maybe. The Eagles just won a Super Bowl with a dominate defense and a great RB. Hurts is above average game manager. There’s a blueprint.
  15. I think we can wind this thread down. By their own words, the locals don’t care or in some cases even know who Rogan is. The only thing that can bring this thread back to life is if a working stand up comic describing their experience working in Austin.
  16. The Jaguars are currently the last in.The Texans are 2 back. There’s a path.
  17. Just don’t get cute and trade back. Take a franchise OL in the first round.
  18. Did Death by Lightning thread get zapped? I can’t find it.
  19. If Stone can’t pull off the Derrick White pipe dream, you could probably talk me into staying pat.
  20. What a weird game. Giannis looks unstoppable anywhere near the basket and then the Bucks don’t pass to him for the final 5 minutes. Reed closed a game. Holy shit. Great win.
  21. When Giannis is going like this, the only counter is hit a bunch of 3’s.
  22. Holy shit. Biggest comeback in franchise history?
