  1. Hang in there. It gets better. Willie Boy should have lead off the show.
  2. The Lakers 8 seed dream is still alive! I would play everybody against them on Friday if they lose in Dallas tomorrow.
  3. Awesome. Luka missing the Dallas Homecoming Game because of technicals is so on brand.
  4. Does Luka play tomorrow? The Lakers are up 1.5 games on the Nuggets with 3 to go.
  5. The Netflix show has been a bit of a dud. - Joe Rogan is always terrible on panel, and this was no exception. He’s obviously on mushrooms and just grins like an idiot the whole time. - Segura was equally terrible on panel. - The Musk impression really didn’t work. - Redban dunked his entire head in hair dye. Hilarious. - Ari and Casey of course picked the absolute worst time to perform their worst sets in 12+ months. - There are some funny surprises I don’t want to spoil.
  6. I love this shit. The dumbass Lakers’ beat writers lost their minds this afternoon when the team upgraded the big 3 to probable. “OMG! The Lakers are going for it! Trying to win the 2 seed!” Will they play Luka in Dallas tomorrow? There’s very little incentive to play him on the tail end of a back to back.
  7. Did the Lakers try to bluff the Thunder into shutting down their starters with that bullshit injury report this afternoon? Reaves, Luka, and LeBron will all play at least 35-36 minutes tonight.
  8. Shit just got real.
  9. I saw that. It’s like somebody within the organization realized they weren’t mathematically eliminated from the 2 seed and sprinted to the plane to tell Pelinka.
  10. Probably worth a watch just for the score. I like the concept, I like the cast, you can do it Disney!
  11. Check out the Lakers’ injury report for tonight. Luka, LeBron, and Reaves are questionable and not expected to play per the Ringer.
  12. Did the Nuggets have a bench of young guys that just weren’t working out? It feels like every maxed out team in the NBA has a bench full of 3 and D veterans on league minimum deals.
  13. Wow on Malone. It’s clear he got blamed when I’d argue it’s the front office’s fault for building a team without a bench.
  14. I like the Locked on Rockets podcast. Host knows ball and makes some points I wouldn’t normally think about. Also I believe it’s the only daily Rockets podcast.
  15. Amen getting some run as DPOY on the Athletic’s NBA show. I don’t see it, it should be Dort, but I hope he finishes in the top 5/takes votes away from Draymond Green.
  16. Agreed. Resting/sitting Amen and Fred this week would be big. OKC has to be concerned about a mini-slump before the playoffs. They should want to win this game.
  17. Hoping for the best. They expect it to be a couple feet worse than the last big flood in 1978. They had enough warning to empty the gift shop. I hope they took appropriate action.
  18. Just the parking lot/visitor center/gift shop have flooded, right?
  19. Holiday is technically the only other PG in the rotation. When FVV sits they really don’t have a PG in the game. They’ll use Amen, Green, and sometimes Brooks to bring it up/initiate the offense. I’m not ready to bury Reed, but hindsight Castle would have been a better pick. Reed is athletic, 42” vertical, and good wingspan for his size. He’s been active on defense when he’s played. Deflections, steals, and even a few blocks. I think this gives him a chance. If you can’t defend, you’re not playing for Ime. I assume the Rockets took Reed because they A) needed a PG and B) wanted to give Whitmore more minutes. Obviously, neither worked out this season, but they’re the 2 seed in the West.
  20. I like Cryer’s game. Confident shooter, good defender, rebounds really well from the point guard spot. Probably shorter than you’d want. Doesn’t get to the basket well against plus defenses. I think he can have a pro career, but he’s probably a stand in the corner and hit threes guy.
  21. I’m cautious about this film. Several hours into Vineland, and it’s weirder than Inherent Vice, another Pynchon novel. If it’s a faithful adaptation, it probably will be I believe PTA and Pynchon are tight, I’m not confident it will be well received by a main stream audience. PTA is one of the best, so maybe he can thread a Big Lebowski needle here. You’re not paying Leo to make a cult classic. I hope it’s good. The Ringer movie people saw additional footage at CinemaCon, and they said it was better than the trailer which they didn’t care for. Leo did make an in person appearance. He’s probably not dragging himself off his yacht if he thought the movie sucked.
