  1. Maybe the best two wins of the season back to back. So much fun to watch them get better and learn how to win.
  2. They aren’t catching Portland. They aren’t going to be bottom five. So it’s about a five percentage point swing from 7 to 6. Either way, there’s a better chance than not that it conveys. The spurs have been so lucky in the lottery that they will probably thread the needle and have the pick end up exactly at 7.
  3. Funny enough, we saw him the morning after the game walking down Mass Street in Lawrence by himself just taking pictures with folks and hanging out. Seems like a good dude but I’m going to hard pass on any 6’7” guy who’s never even attempted a three pointer in his career. Fine if you want to kick the tires on him in the summer on a camp invite but he’s the absolute last thing this team needs. Furphy (who is apparently despised by autocorrect) has some translatable skills.
  4. I've only been paying cursory attention so far. I'm sure I will start to geek out on this stuff post-tournament but as of right now, I would be happy with either Knecht or Sheppard for the Toronto pick should it convey. I covet anyone who can make an open three, but both of those guys bring more to the table than just shooting. In that same vein, I like Dillingham a bunch. He just seems like a gamer and he can stroke it. If they actually win the lottery again, it might put them in a bit of a conundrum because Sarr is presumably the top pick, but the things he does best are mostly duplicative of Wemby (at a much shitter rate of course) and they can't throw another non-shooter out there. They just can't. I like both Topic and Risacher, but I would be tempted to take Cody Williams over any of them (including Sarr). I don't know how much of his projection is based off of his brother, but he's 3 inches taller and 1.5 years younger than Jalen when he came out. His numbers are better than his brother's at the same age. Adding a guy that long to Wemby just seems unfair. There would be no such thing as a passing lane. The G league guys are tough to evaluate. I think Buzelis has some moxey to him, but his shooting might be a non-starter. I don't know what to make of Ron Holland. Same thing as Buzelis with his shooting. I'm going to jump off the Tower of the Americas if they draft another dude who can't fucking shoot. I haven't watched the guy from Baylor at all. I liked Collier before the season but he's struggled and is another one who can't shoot. I went to the Kansas game last weekend and I begrudgingly liked Furphy's game. I compared him to a bigger version of Gradey Dick. Could you imagine the Spurs with a bigger Dick?
  5. Worse, like what? Barring a catastrophic injury to Wemby, I honestly don't believe there is anything that could happen that would be worse than bringing in a losing, culture killing, heliocentric, no defense playing, salary cap albatross who depletes your war chest of picks while teaching Victor how a *real* NBA superstar rolls by acting like a diva, undermining his coach and front office while poisoning the locker room. Other than Kyrie or Harden, I can't imagine a worse player to bring in to this franchise at this particular time. I honestly would prefer either of those guys over Young. And of course, they can't run it back with this crew but this team is soooooooo young. Sochan, Branham, Wesley and Wemby are all just 20. Vassell is 23. Jones and Keldon are the "vets" and they are both only 24 in their fourth year. They will all be better next season. They are going to add a pick that will be probably top 4 and at worst top 7 (either way, the highest non-Wemby pick since Tim) and probably another top 10 pick from Toronto. People are shitting on this draft class but it's not that bad. They can find one immediate rotation player and a longer term project out of it. They just need outside shooting and a couple of culture setting vets to be in contention for a playoff spot next season. That should be a realistic goal for year 2. I know the record is garbage but they really are getting better every night. The rodeo trip makes it look worse than it is. They aren't that far off. Wemby is getting better every night. The entire team is getting better. You motherfuckers need to learn some patience.
  6. Mind you, that month is the shortest of the year and it had an 8 day break for the all-star game in it. And he played only 3/12 of them at home while averaging only 29 mpg.
  7. Pretty much all of their problems would be solved with good three point shooting around him (and him playing more than 30 mpg). They are last in the league in 3P% but 11th in number of 3's taken per game. They get one wide open shot after another all because of the attention Wemby creates, and they just don't have anybody besides Vassell who can consistently knock them down. They shot 50% from three last night and won going away. I'm too lazy to look up the stat but I saw somewhere that they've won nearly every game in which they outshot their opponent from three this year. They also turn the ball over at a ridiculous rate. Between the long rebounds from all the missed threes and the live ball turnovers, teams are getting out and running for easy buckets. You get teams in the half court and then you have to deal with Wemby lurking every possession.
  8. He’s gonna get a quad at some point I gotta believe. He will probably get 10 steals in a game if he plays long enough. He’s already had a 6 steal game in limited minutes in 50ish games. He’s had two 5 steal games in the past week. But 10 steals in the same game as 10 blocks? I wouldn’t put anything past this cat but that would take a lot of stars aligning. It’s rather preposterous but the fact that I’m even entertaining the idea is a testament to what a freak he is.
  9. The worst three point shooting team in the league outscored okc by 30 at the three point line.
  10. This has been a good game. Going to be disappointed when they screw up the end.
  11. I’m not much of a Lebron fan in general, but what he’s doing at his age is incomprehensible.

  16. Sochan was terrible last night. I don't know if he was as bad as Collins, but he was close. And Champagnie, I'm fairly certain, is the worst starter in the entire league. Sochan was -21. Collins was -17. Wemby was -2. Mamu was +8.
  17. And they went to shit when they took him out. But this... Jesus.
  18. They can't run it back. They just can't. They don't need to give up their war chest of picks or cap space, but they have to get some three point shooting. They can't compete without getting better shooting. It's the single biggest issue for the team. Everything else should take care of itself.

  21. The conferences are such whores for the championship game cash, that it seems like that's the only reason that we don't have 16 already. They just don't want to give up that revenue. And they sure as shit don't want to sacrifice it so Georgia can go beat the piss out of some G5 scrub that skates through their bullshit schedule into the playoff. I think the trick is to balance out the urgency / do or die nature of the regular season while maxing the number of teams in the playoff and still make the CCG mean something. Maybe they are going to go to from 12 to 14 and just give the SEC and Big 10 Champion an auto bye? That would be kind of hilarious.
  22. Dear God why couldn't you have taken Pee Wee instead?
  23. I think the whole thing works if you actually view it as a comedy. I mean, my son and I were literally laughing out loud through the last three episodes. They were a few tweaks and breaking the fourth wall every now and then from making this one of the greatest spoofs since Airplane. Maybe that's what the writers were really going for. We (the audience) are actually the True Detectives, trying to unravel the mystery that this was really a gigantic, subtly brilliant, dark comedy mocking the entire genre, instead of the biggest pile of shit to hit HBO since the last season of Game of Thrones.
