  1. Yet Wilt only won two rings. Still, long term I like what the Spurs have going with Castle and Harper as their foundation around Wemby. Going to be fun (at least for Spurs fans) to see how it plays out.
  2. Always appreicate this thread Tex, but how do you just ignore Bama at Scar and Mizzou at Vandy at the 2:30 timeslot? I'm certainly more interested in both of those than the Big 12 left behinds duking it out for Bucee's coupons. Or maybe I don't know that I need to give my undivided atttention to an undefeated BYU facing off against that whiny cunt Matt Campbell? Either way, I'm still watching the Horns and praying that we don't shit our britches.
  3. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46687886/thunder-alex-caruso-suffers-concussion-placed-protocol I think this is the appropriate way to address Caruso matching up with bigs.
  4. There’s no telling how differently Robinson would be playing in this era. If he were a legitimate three point threat, you would have no chance guarding him off the dribble as fast as he was with that first step. And this is probably blasphemy sprinkled with a heavy dose of recency bias, but Wemby is a markedly better defender. David was ridiculously great, literally one of the best ever, but there’s just never been a player with the reach and timing of Vic that impacts the game like he does.
  5. I think the Billups deal is part of a poker mafia thing, not sports gambling. The Rozier thing has been going on for awhile. I can’t imagine how many millions of dollars have been gambled on team flights over the years.
  6. They should have made them take a number like waiting their turn at the deli counter.
  7. I actually felt bad for Anthony Davis tonight.
  8. They need to run offense through Harper on the second unit.
  9. Kraken status: released. And Castle is tormenting poor Cooper Flagg.
  10. I guess Flagg is going to run point? How very Jeremy Sochan of them. I hope their experiment works out just as well. Between them and Houston, it's like everybody playing small ball was just a fever dream. Don Nelson is probably rolling over in his hammock. At first it was the double bigs lineups, now it's let's play every dude we got over 6'7" all at the same time. I'm no Mitch Johnson, but I would be picking up these guys 94 feet from the very first play of the game. Let's see Flagg, Washington or 1000 year old Klay Thompson fight for every inch against some hyperathletic 20 year old just to get the ball over the time line.
  11. That's a lot of jumping to conclusions off of game 1 of an 82 game season. Not that I disagree with much of it, but it's a loooooong season. We all know that OKC is going to be great but their three point shooting was a problem for SGA, Williams and Holmgren in the playoffs, too. Who knows what Houston is going to look like come playoff time. They have enough assets to go get a suitable point guard if they need one -- which they probably do. Regarding the officiating... I don't know if OKC gets officiated differently because they are so aggressive and grabby but I'm hoping that the refs in general this year don't call as much ticky tack shit on the perimeter. As much as the excessive three point shooting has hurt the game stylistically, the refs inhibiting perimeter defense is as much to blame. I thought that game was entertaining as hell last night and the defensive intensity that the refs allowed was fantastic. That's the kind of competitive basketball that I want to see although I could do without Alex Caruso constantly mauling a dude 7 inches taller than him without a whistle.
  12. I know Doncic is in a lot better shape but 30 lbs my ass. That men’s health article they just showed looks photoshopped.
  13. Great game to kick off the season. Fuck OKC and SGA’s foul baiting ass.
  14. They have to play zone when he’s in there he’s such a weak defender and then SGA just put one down right in his face. And the mfer just missed a free throw.
  15. What? You don’t like guys picking up their dribble in the middle of the floor when they get hounded and with no idea where to go with the ball?
  16. Thoughts and prayers to you C-Man. Hope you make it through this difficult time without too much pain and suffering.
  17. I think it's interesting that we got OU (Venables), Kentucky (Stoops - both of the "special" ones) and now MSU (Lebby) three weeks in a row. All of them are Bob Stoops era OU dick munching buddies. With a side order of Art Briles rape cover up nepotism thrown in for good measure. If you don't think all those fuckheads (including Bob, too) are not co-authoring a how to beat Texas dossier, I don't know what to tell you. I think this game is going to be tough regardless because apparently even if we tried to shoot ourselves in the dick we would probably miss, but I promise you Lebby is going to have more insight and inside information on Texas than probably any other team we play this year.
  18. I don't see what the big deal is. You can just watch the highlights on Youtube. But other than that, it's ridiculous that you can't buy a league pass that shows every single game for the entire league or at least every game for your own home market team in one fucking place. It's a damn scavenger hunt every night. The regional sports network blackout rules are so antiquated at this point. I'm sure they had a chance to clean all that shit up at the last TV negotation, but why would they ever want to make their product more accessible to their customer when they can get paid a premium to collude with their network partners try to force their customers to buy the fucking Peacock app? No gracias... hello crackstreams and Brave browser. I will say one thing... that clown who has driven the Suns on courrt future into a ditch at least has done right by the fans so they can watch all the shitty basketball they want for free. The City/Spurs should have made that part of the Project Marvel deal... that they would show all the home games on local TV for free.
  19. Agreed. I'm voting for it. Even if we get fucked. Putting the current arena where it is was one of dumbest decisions this city has made in the past 25 years or whenever it was. San Antonio has always had a unique downtown that most other cities can only dream of. We need to reinvest in it. And that is the last thing I'm going to say about any of this Cloak Room-ish stuff. Let's go play some (good lord willing, winning) basketball.
  20. I'm probably going to sound ignorant (and I am about a lot of this stuff), but you are talking property taxes only and not sales tax? Like, some asshole buying a $20 beer (looks in mirror) at the game or at a bar or restaurant is still going to be generating sales tax for the city off these properties, right? If that's correct and unless we are now getting sales tax on heroin sales, that would be of significant financial benefit to the city, correct?
  21. Too late. You ever heard of Lincoln Riley?
  22. It's when he chockes out Crazy 8 with the bike lock.
