  1. D'Andre Swift with the best defender hurdle I've ever seen. Completely cleared the would-be tackler and stuck the landing. Defender didn't come in _that_ low, either.

    Didn’t get it done, but damn it he doesn’t make it always interesting. 

    Terribly flawed QB but extremely entertaining. Love to watch him play.

    What are the coaches possibly seeing that we aren't?

    The coaches are aware of the problem. The East-West passing game that would've made Greg Davis happier than a puppy with two peters isn't a mistake.

    They've made the decision to ride or die with Quinn and they are trying to scheme around his deficiencies.

    okc looks really good. i don’t remember the last time i saw jokic this flustered.

    Denver's roster has degraded, year-over-year, since their championship run.

    Meanwhile, OKC continues to improve not only in development, but in depth.

    Funny but true. I love the NFL product overall but it's either corrupt af or most refs are just mouthbreathing-level stupid. I think maybe both?

    College is about as bad with their bias. NBA probably being the worst.

    it's just frustrating because this was competitive. Unlikely Minnie would've driven the length of the field, but that moment of idiocy absolutely decided the outcome and guaranteed that there'd be no game-tying drive and that the Rams would win.

    Fucking dumb.

    Terrible miss by the refs. If that was mahomes it would be a suspension

    Wemby and threes, a match made in hell.

    My biggest criticism would be this--he settles for 3s much too often.

    I get it. They are easy. No need to bang inside, and nobody is going to block that shot, either.

    Even Giannis is excessively and extensively guilty of this. It's a win for the other team whenever Giannis or Wemby jack up a 3, even if they make it ... cuz making it means they'll just chuck up three or four more and likely brick those and not be in a position to rebound or defend the ensuing break.

    Dude lives to hoop. I’m trying to enjoy it while I can, knowing that his time as a professional basketball player is reaching its end. Or maybe not. These fuckers play forever these days.

    Great way to put it! KD is indeed the gift that keeps on giving.

    Wish he'd found his way to SA. Imagine him playing "off guard" to Wemby!

    I love KD. Not sure any one-and-done has represented his college better than he, and he is arguably the most skilled offensive player ever BUT ... 

    ... among his biggest weaknesses** is load management. To wit, I submit an excerpt from last night's box:

    image.png.fed86ffe15c6f0466dad51a1efd3738a.png

    He does this every year. It inevitably takes its toll come playoffs. I wish he would force himself to cut back but he won't. I don't think coaches or GMs can, either. He just refuses to leave the court, he loves the game and competition that much.

    In other words, he's the anti-Kawhi/Embiid.

    ** His other weaknesses would be 1) player GM (LeBron is infinitely better here) and 2) social media.
