  1. I think the answer is just that Mitchell is eating into Onyema and Anamekwe's proposed minutes much more than he is any potential guard/wing that we add. How many minutes we have just depends on the quality of the player. If he's better than the guys at the end of our current 8-9 man rotation, we easily have 24ish minutes to give. If they are a similar level or worse, it's looking like 10-12 minutes max.
  2. A ton of size with zero shooting. I have a hard time seeing how they get many minutes on the court together unless someone develops a shot.

    Seems pretty obvious that he got the job because he was the next man up already on staff. I'm confused by the confusion here. Who is the staff going to be? Probably the exact same people who were already there with this guy moving up one spot?
  4. You're right that you don't need to see the footage. The bodycam footage exists but they haven't released it yet. We all know what that means. If it looked good for the cop, it would have been immediately released.
  5. Over Abmas or Hunter? Would he get minutes over Weaver? He'd be fighting for minutes here too.
  6. Is an empty building somehow more expensive that an occupied one?
  7. Pretty sure you can find a similar list for just about any draft. Just looking at the 20th pick and later starting 10 years before you: 2008 had Ryan Anderson (21), Serge Ibaka (24), Batum (25), George Hill (26), Chalmers (34), Deandre Jordan (35), Dragic (45) 2009 had Darren Collison (21), Taj Gibson (26), Patrick Beverley (42), Danny Green (46), Patty Mills (55) and a handful of longtime role players 2010 is dogshit. Hassan Whiteside (33), Landry Fields (39), Lance Stephenson (40)? 2011 had Faried (22), Reggie Jackson (24), Jimmy Butler (30), Bojan Bogdanovic (31), Chandler Parsons (38), Isaiah Thomas (60) 2012 had Evan Fournier (20), Jae Crowder (34), Draymond Green (35), Kris Middleton (39), Will Barton (40) I'll stop there but I'm not seeing a massive increase in valuable players coming later in the draft.
  8. If Hunter comes back and we get Weaver and Rodman, this team is looking pretty good. But do we really have minutes for them all to come here? Abmas averaged 36 minutes last year, Weaver 30, Hunter 30, and Sellers 30. Minutes get tight there even if we ran a 3 guard lineup all the time.
  9. How do people still exist who think Harden doesn't love basketball?
  10. You keep saying this but your definition of "reacting appropriately" appears to be different than just about everyone else's.
  11. Pretty easy concept that if you fuck around with enough people, eventually you'll find out. Don't fuck with other people and you don't have anything to worry about.
  12. Easy, their "pranks" are almost all making fun of themselves/each other rather than fucking with other people.
  13. Have you seen a video of the "prank"? I'm not seeing one anywhere. Can't really comment on it being justified or not without knowing what actually happened.
  14. Does anything about this report suggest that this company had unrestricted access? Seems like they just scraped everything that was public. This seems way more "people don't understand privacy" more than "Facebook bad".

    I was about to say that I feel like he's been our best player so far but then my stream got there... damn

    Lots of poor touches from all of our attacking players so far.
  17. The refs did their job and made what looked like it might turn into a Texas blowout into a close game. But doesn't look like the shit calls are stopping here

    I don't think Berhalter should have been hired for a 2nd cycle. He's not a bad coach and he didn't do a bad job with the US. He did perfectly fine and is as good a coach as we've ever had. When he was hired, he had the exact type of resume that we should expect for the USMNT coach. And then he got essentially the expected results along the way (slightly overperforming winning every regional cup, slightly underperforming in qualifying). But getting a 2nd cycle should require more than that so I agree that it's time to move on. Any time someone talks about how tactically inflexible we were, I really have to question if they even watch the games or if they are just parroting click bait youtube accounts that have been cheering for Berhalter to fail since he was hired. We've tried a bunch of different things tactically and the World Cup showed us varying plans each game. The one part where Berhalter really seemed to lack was with in game adjustments.

    I get that you hate Berhalter and want to pretend he's the worst coach ever, but you think we got dominated by the Netherlands but that we played neck and neck with Belgium? Come on. Without Howard playing the game of his life, we'd have seen something like a 7-0 score line for Belgium. They had 26 shots on target! I also love the Netherlands game being used against Berhalter when we legitimately played a pretty even game with them, we just didn't put away the chances we got. Is the only thing that matters goals scored? Giving up one goal in the group stage counts for something, right?

    Just keep reading the quotes and it explains it? They were worried about his fitness level. They were also worried about him just walking around not trying at all. It's really not hard to imagine a scenario where both of those are true. There's also nothing mentioning that Gio was expected to go all out in training. The quotes were “walk[ed] around, and mope[d] around the whole time.”, "seemed ticked off”, "did not appear to be trying at all”, and “other guys were busting their tails doing the sprints” while “Gio didn’t do anything.”
  21. If you look at what he's doing at Twitter, seems pretty reasonable that the best thing for Tesla is for him to be as far away as possible.
  22. Gandalf didn't actually say that he'd never gone East in the past. He says "to the East I go not". Maybe they never quite make it "East". Maybe he goes East and we find out why he doesn't go there anymore.

    Is there any evidence that he'd pick us? Pefok is probably the most similar to this situation. He wanted to play for France and settled for us once he got old enough that it seemed like it wasn't going to happen. Just based on all of the other dual national stuff we've done under Berhalter, I'd be shocked if we hadn't reached out.

    Because he has to actually say yes to playing for us? Seems very likely that his current priority is playing for England. If that doesn't happen fast enough we might have a shot.

    It's a January camp for a couple of friendlies where we don't even have a real coach. Having a vet at each spot to help new guys acclimate to the environment is perfect. There should be zero complaints about this. Soccer fans also get way too excited about people "aging out". Dude turning 28 or 30 doesn't mean he's suddenly trash. It's very unlikely that any of our late 20s to early 30s (in four years) players are going to age out of the pool for the next world cup. They just likely won't be better than the younger talent that's coming up.
