  1. Tech would be hilarious. North Carolina also funny. Kind of hope it’s UNC because it would be another data point that Belichick’s girlfriend is co-GM.
  2. Ari briefly had his own podcast on The Athletic sans Staples. It was fairly entertaining laughing at Ari’s horrific gambling misadventures. But since reuniting with Staples he gets dumber by the minute. Player empowerment bullshit drive by takes, UF is gonna be awesome next year, and Napier apologist bullshit.
  3. Tennessee is moving on from Nico per Pete Thamel.
  4. Not a great night. Lakers clinch the 3 seed and the Suns inexplicably beat the Spurs.
  5. Nevermind. Reading thorough the seeding scenarios right now. Carry on.
  6. I mean this politely, what the hell are you looking at? The Twolves are firmly in the 7 seed. I believe GSW owns the tiebreaker.
  7. But he no showed at the Lakers game. He is, what he is.
  8. The bravado. Holy shit. Lakers have to go through GSW first snd then we’ll see.
  9. Pink Pony Club is a good song. Definitely not my scene, but a good song. Roan is a talented vocalist. Maybe the next Gaga?
  10. Please leave Williams on the tarmac. Dude is a chucker.
  11. So glad Whitmore is healthy. That Harden foul was so much dirty bullshit. Yet Silver would rather get hair plugs than fine him.
  12. Team Stay Teady about to take a 30 point L. Basically Green is the only regular playing tonight. I think even Tate is out. Lakers need a win to clinch to the 3.
  13. Jersey Boys. The guy that portrays Valli has some serious pipes. Vincent Piazza is great in everything. I wish Walken was in it more. Gyp DeCarlo was an interesting cat.
  14. To the gift shop.
  15. Gillis pulled it back out of respect + probably money. Segura just sitting there and eating the mic is not new. Rogan getting stoned and staring at everything is not new. Sure give them their flowers for the Austin comedy scene, but encourage to spend their Mondays somewhere else.
  16. Next week should be fun. The biggest/15 pound dogs on the block will visit full sized steers close up. I’ll keep a fence between them for safety, but hilarity should ensue.
  17. Well, it finally came full circle today. Seinfeld raised me, and taught me everything I know. And today it hit home. My director did a stop and chat today, and said “I heard you were leading a project.” This was news to me. I feel like George in The Bottle Deposit in Season 7. I know I need to go downtown, but why?
  18. Correct. The Succession sibling rivalry angle elevates this show. Not sure how high, but headed up.
  19. I think we could get a better fit or maybe a Euro Stash with high upside.
  20. Team Stay Ready thoughts: - It’s painfully obvious why Whitmore hasn’t been playing more. The guy doesn’t play team defense or offense. When his shot isn’t falling, his only elite skill is crashing the boards and dunking junk around the basket. His ball handling isn’t above average so I question his ability to be prolific driver. I think he’s talked/played his way out of attractive trade bait. I’d love to get a conditional first for him, but that’s not happening. Maybe he’s a piece we can package in the next big move. - As I mentioned above, Reed looked good. I think the team is encouraging him to work on his floater and it for sure needs work. I think he has good instincts on when to shoot. Always in rhythm, nothing awkward. He also looked good on defense. Really active hands, forced some steals. - Holiday should be playing more. He had a really nice game. I know he’s a good shooter, but he did some interesting things going to the rim. If FVV continues to slump… Holiday could bail us out in the playoffs with some timely threes. - Dante looked really athletic but raw as hell. I’d continue to roster him and play him a ton in the G League. Poor man’s Adams down the road? The guy is really strong and just big/broad. - Uncle Jeff as always gave the Rockets good minutes. He’d be in the 8 deep on every WC team other than the Thunder. - While I like Jock, he’s very limited on defense. Tries hard, but any half assed center is going to eat him alive. He’s in exactly the right role for the Rockets. Really need to resign Adams. - I’d probably cut Nate Williams. The guy is a George Constanza level chucker. Just has no idea how to play team offense, and he did some really stupid shit on defense. - Roddy probably couldn’t make a team in Turkey. Whose nephew is he? Tari played 27 minutes and looked good. I think the Rockets played him so much so he could work on his offensive game. Jalen played because of some dumb ass game played streak? Harden had one those rare high efficiency games. Zubac dropped a triple double. Kawhi had a double double. We were never going to win, but we made it interesting. I think the Stay Ready Crew has some nice scorers, but they are quite limited on defense. The Clippers shouldn’t scare anybody, but they’re taking any series 6 games.
  21. I’ll have more thoughts later, but Reed hit a very impressive 3 that demonstrated some elite bonafides. The ball came to him with his back against the sideline. Kawhi tried to trap him, and Reed rose up and hit a 3 with Kawhi on his hip and a hand in his face. It was perfect defensive positioning from a long, former DPOY and Reed hit it anyway.
  22. Suns lose. The Rockets are in the lottery. I suspect they’ll shut down Booker and drop their last 2.
  23. It was fun while It lasted. Need to pull Green immediately.
  24. You gotta break up Inherent Vice over multiple watches. I think I watched the whole thing(?) during a long weekend when Starz or MGM+ was free on DirectTV. They kept playing it and I kept dropping in. I remember some very nice eye candy. Probably Martin Short’s least annoying performance since… geez… Captain Ron.
