  1. Why are people surprised the guy who shot over 50% from 3 on 4.5 attempts per game and added 4 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 2.5 steals in under 30 minutes a game is leaving to be a guaranteed lottery pick with potential to be in the top 5?
  2. Yes, the Rockets are going to try to trade his contract. He's not actually going to be in the league but right now he's essentially an expiring contract that's likely to get voided anyway.

    It's Tactical Manager who is basically just a troll at this point and Weston's "friend" who is regularly making shit up chasing clout. Everyone would be better off completely ignoring those two guys. The Berhalter is literally Hilter faction of the fan base (that is pretty well represented here) really makes following anything USMNT a beating. If Balogun wants to be mad at anyone about the last game, it should be Weston. He's the guy who kept missing Balogun's runs (and had a great game otherwise). Which seems to be the whole point Berhalter is making. The "we" he's talking about isn't saying the coaching staff needs to come up with a plan and just started thinking about that when they got into camp. "We" is the guys on the field with him need to get used to playing with Balogun, see the runs he's making, and deliver the pass.
  4. What are the decent poker spots in Vegas right now? Going next month but my last Vegas trip was summer 2019 so unsure how much has changed.
  5. Are you sure he's competent? That's a terrible pre flop call.
  6. I feel like I just jam but no idea if that's the correct play. If you don't jam, what's your plan on the turn? Jam everything? Jam anything that doesn't pair the board (or maybe a 6)? Check/evaluate?
  7. The Rockets want to win games. Eason will develop more playing 24 minutes a game for a team attempting to win games than he would playing all of the minutes he wants on a team content with lucking into 20 wins with no organizational effort to win. If Eason ends up too good to play 24-30 minutes being the backup 3/4, that's a good problem to have.
  8. People are dumb. The one difference that I've noticed this season is that something will happen and it's kinda funny, not bad at all, but seems like would have been way funnier if they had gone a slightly different direction. I'm watching the show and in the moment seeing things that feel like missed opportunities to do something else. But is that an actual difference in the show? Probably not. It's probably just more exposure to their process with the podcast and see them clearly reacting to feedback they've gotten but not doing in in the way I thought was best.
  9. And I don't think that is Dillon Brooks. He wants a big role, lots of shots, and got 4 years. Hopefully it works out.
  10. No shit the Rockets weren't going to sign Dwight Powell for 3 years, 12 million total. But could they have given him 12 million a year of money that they needed to spend that would be coming off the books when it was time to pay the young guys (assuming some of them pan out)? Yeah, probably. Instead they gave that money to Dillon Brooks. And Jeff Green took a one year deal for 6 million to do exactly the thing you're saying NBA players wouldn't do.
  11. The problem with Brooks as a player is that he's another guy who doesn't create offense for anyone else and he loves to shoot while not being a very good shooter. Definitely think the Rockets would have been better off spending that money on a better backup center (the Mavs managed to bring Dwight Powell back for 3 years, 12 million total) and another guard who can shoot and create (Detroit traded a future 2nd to take on Monte Morris's expiring contract, the Rockets surely could have done that too).
  12. Weird to have an episode about a celebrity alcohol and not even mention Frank's Fluids.

    Pepi was competing for one of three forward slots. His competition was Sargent, Haji, and Jesus (and Pefok). Morris was competing for a wing spot. His competition was Pulisic, Weah, Reyna, and Aaronson (with Arriola being the actual competition that he beat out).

    USMNT 2023

    Yeah, I think he's a solid coach who did well with the US but didn't do enough to be brought back for 4 more years. Would have preferred a change but bringing him back isn't the end of the world and does not doom the team to failure.

    USMNT 2023

    Serious question, are you really this invested in the USMNT to be so upset about this while also not following the team enough to not realize Jordan Morris and Pepi were not competing for the same roster spot? Or are you just doing a fake outrage thing about something you know didn't happen just for fun?

    Not according to the captain of the team.

    Takes like this really do a poor job of remembering how infrequently our best players have actually all been available at the same time. or I don't think Berhalter should be the choice (he did well here but it takes more than that for me to think you get a 2nd cycle) and am worried about the coaching and player pool getting stale over a 2nd cycle but the things we've been doing in this interim period are based on Berhalter's system with his assistants running the show. The team performing well right now is not somehow proving that Berhalter = bad.

    Both Pulisic goals, Balogun was in perfect position to score too. If Pulisic made the pass on the first goal or a deflection came off Ochoa, Balogun scores. If Weah cuts the ball back a little more instead of getting it across goal, Balogun scores. Definitely encouraging that he's in all the right spots even if he didn't get a chance to even get a shot this game.

    Oh god Scally's hair is worse than Reyna's

    Can they just call the game already? What's the point of letting Mexico keep taking shots at people down 3 goals?

    USMNT 2023

    If Weston gets a red for touching the neck, what about all the other times he's gotten choked by Mexico with nothing?

    USMNT 2023

    That's an easy yellow card. It's closer to a red than no card at all. You can't just launch your shoulder into someone's face

    Does it even matter who we have take free kicks/corners at this point or does whoever does it always end up just being terrible?
  24. At 1-2, you think anyone is folding an ace there? I don't. I think it's definitely a bet and if you lose to AQ/AJ you just live with it.
