  1. They really need to trade him for Trae Young. It would complete the cycle: Mavs trade Trae for Luka on draft night. Mavs trade Luka for AD. Mavs trade AD for Young.
  2. The minutes restriction.... I get. I don't know if there is enough empirical evidence to support it, but I still get it. It's become SOP. But what is definitely 100% coaching malpractice is when Landale missed both free throws, not calling time out to get Sochan off the floor for that final possession. I was screaming at my TV. What the fuck? I get that Sochan was having an impact on the game defensively, but you can't have that guy on the floor on offense on that possession. You just can't. I'm on board with the idea of not calling a timeout to prevent the defense from setting up, but you have to take him out then. You just have to. I'd rliterally ather have any other player on the team taking an open jumper than him. I'd rather give Bismack fucking Biyombo an open 20 footer. Beyond that... we are 36 games into the season, which is a large enough sample size that I can revisit my pre-season questions from the very first post on this thread with answers in orange:
  3. It’s every night. If they are going to shoot this poorly, they really should just play Sochan. I mean what’s the difference?
  4. Spurs not named Julian Champagnie are a combined 6/28 from three.
  5. I think Castle has been blocked about five times so far.
  6. I'm just waiting for him to do the horns down in a pic.
  7. It was a better conference when Jordan played, too, especially after the Detroit Bad Boys aged out. Don't get me wrong, the Jordan Bulls were always the class of the league but MJ almost always had a much easier path to the finals than anybody in the west. Lebron's path was even easier.
  8. Phoenix being competitive/ a playoff or play-in team is a stunner. They are plucky AF and Booker is much more comfortable being the man instead of sharing the load with KD. I bagged on their owner for mortgaging their future, but they've made a rather remarkable ascent given their limited assets. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they have the star firepower to make much noise in the playoffs but they are certainly going to be a pain in the ass for everybody they face.
  9. Jokic dodging Embiid yet again. Pussy.
  10. I went last night. I was having a fit every time they closed out on Cidy Sissoko. Did they not have a scouting report on him after watching him lay bricks every day for two and a half years? Also, I’m not sure why Blake Wesley got a tribute video and Sidy didn’t. Actually I’m clueless why Wesley got a tribute video at all and shocked that they had enough clips to make one. Hopefully when Sochan comes bank to visit playing for another team the tribute video will be of him riding the exercise bike in the tunnel because he spent a lot of time on that sumbitch last night. We can dissect whatever part of the game you want, but the truth about this team is the same as it was before the season: it doesn’t have enough guys who can knock down an open three. They were out scored by 27 from three last night. They were out scored from three by 27 against Utah when they lost and by 18 when they lost to Cleveland. It’s not a mystery although it would help if they defended the three a lot better too. Barnes is in a massive slump. Vassell is out and even when he’s in, he’s streaky as hell. Vic is out. They needed Champagnie to have the game of his life to beat the Knicks. Fox has been better from three than advertised but still… You can’t be this incompetent from three in today’s NBA and expect to win.
  11. Sportsman of the year.
  12. Anybody else have the spurs down for having the second best record in the entire league after New Years with Wemby missing 12 games and on a minutes restriction in about 10 more?
  13. I'd love to have Coleman, but it feels like we lose most of these very public portal battles. The WR from Pitt who went to USC, the end from TCU who went to OU, etc. We've done the most damage with guys who we blatantly poach seem to appear in the portal out of the blue and immediately sign.
  14. John Midteer is a pretty great nickname for the OU QB. I hadn't heard that one before.
  15. He won't be eligible for it if he doesn't play 65 games this year (which is a virtual lock) or next year before the extension kicks in. The most they can pay him is 25% of the cap if that happens. The last thing I'm rooting for is him to get hurt and there's a zero percent chance the Spurs try to fuck with him... but they are rightfully being extremely careful and likely overcautious with any sort of injury that he gets. And I don't think he really cares. He's playing the long game.
  16. Easiest one ever. Fuck Betty Boop -- I mean, "boop" is right there in the name. Marry Blondie as the prototypical housewife wife plus you get to inherit Dagwood's fortune. And kill Nancy Drew so that bitch can't solve her own murder.
  17. Honestly appreciate you clearing this up. I must have read it 5-6 times trying to figure out if it was real.
  18. Also likely the nail for him getting the supermax extension. I don't really have a problem with it as long as he's healthy for the playoffs. Of course, he would have to play fewer than 65 games next year too, but there's a pretty big difference between 25% and 30% of the cap as it relates to building out the rest of the roster.
  19. As long as they don't give up a lottery pick to the Thunder, I'm probably okay with it too.
  20. That’s great but how many trees did he plant?
  21. Where’s that phrasing meme when you need it?
  22. Back in the day I had a friend in the gym business who gave me one of their treadmills that was getting replaced with a newer model. I didn't want it but my wife insisted, "Oh, I'm going to use it every day, I promise." In our prior house, there was this narrow as hell stairway that led up to a small room that had been converted from the attic. That was really the only place for it. That sumbitch was so heavy it took 4 adult males to haul it up there. She didn't use it once. Not fucking once. Yeah... fuck treadmills.
  23. Cleveland now healthy is one of the best teams in the league but you just aren’t going to win games in the NBA today shooting as poorly from three as the spurs have the past two games. It’s not like they had bad looks.
