  1. Saw the OKC/Houston game....

    OKC didn't shoot that well, especially from three.  Maybe some first game, ring ceremony nerves.  They were missing Jalen Williams, who is probably the most important person for them defensively because of his versatility while still being able to create his own shot.  Not much different from them vs last year.

    Houston?  What the fuck is with this roster?  Do they have any guards at all?  Reed Sheppard is thisfar from being a bust.  I thought he was ostensibly the back up PG but when the starting PG went down, he's still....the backup?  So, he's a 3rd string PG and the now starting point guard is Amen Thompson?  Is he even a guard?  This roster seems like a garbled mess.  They're committed to Durant and Thompson and Sengun are the future so hold on to them.  Everyone else should be on the block to get some guards.  Throw Little Reed Shephard in there.  If someone is undersized, they need to be elite at something.  (Dame Lilliard.)  Unless they get some ball handling, they lose to OKC and Denver in 5.  Sengun is the best player on the roster.  KD will miss a block of games, especially at this age now.  Not sure what they look like then.

    Officiating was horse shit all around.  Very bad calls, in some cases, the refs are right there.  Reviews take too long, too.

    Dillingham, Lea, and Brent Key are interesting situations - all 3 are at their alma mater and could be still considered somewhat "1-hit wonders" at this stage (ie can they do it consistently or have they just lucked into a stud QB for now?).

    Does anyone have enough confidence in them to do what it would take to pull them away? My guess is not yet this year.

    With Lea, if Vandy is financially committed to winning, he should stay.  That's now a good job.  Arizona State should be a good job but they've never been committed so it'll be interested what he does.

  3. Working our way through the Netflix Starting 5 show.  We're oddly entertained by the Tyrese Haliburton girlfriend storyline.  (They've been together for 6 years when he was Iowa State and he's followed him from there to Sacramento to Indy and he still won't pop the question.  He did in July, though.)

    1.  Dude is completely oblivious.

    2.  She was going to watch this show with him and see Shai completely obsess over his wife and kid and that would not go well.

    3.  I think that he wasn't intending to ask but then blew out his achilles and then realized she was going to be wheeling him around 24/7 and either she gave him an ultimatum or he realized he needed to do it.

    I've already seen like 5 or 6 Durant quotes. He appears to be airing shit out which may make it worth a watch. 

    He's been pretty good so far.  (Just did episode 2.)  Harden is funny, as expected.  Shai has been more interesting and shown more personality than I thought.  Halliburton and Brown is so boring that they're ignoring him.

    Yep. Now church is exclusively for lame people who aren't even interested in sex. At least not unless you want to marry them or something. It's truly sad what religion has turned into.

    I went to a large church in suburban Dallas in the 90's and 2000's.  (You can probably guess which one.)  I slept with at least five women I met there.  They weren't that different from other women.  The only difference is they'd want to get married NOW.
