He is. He's played 76 minutes this season and has a negative 10 box plus minus. And a lot of the minutes he's played are zero leverage, garbage time minutes against other subs.
He isn't an NBA player and almost assuredly never will be. I was saying this like two years ago.
Yeah, I know all that. Just that calling someone a Make A Wish kid is funny but harsh. I'll allow it.

A long time ago, I read a comment online somewhere that stated she had a huge ass. As a fan of huge asses, I went hunting for a picture and it seems that there are none available online. I feel like Ahab, always searching for that white whale, no pun intended.
EDIT: I went fishing and found some proof. I guess it's true.
Good thing she covers basketball then, am I right?

BOWIE, Texas—Last week, 17-year-old Gauge Bass enlisted in the Air Force with his mother’s support. Both agreed that he wouldn’t have done so if President Trump hadn’t won the election.
“Trump is a more reliable source of direction for the country,” said his mother, Joy Story, a maintenance worker at an apartment complex who has struggled to support her two children.
The recently enlisted Bass, who lost his father to addiction when he was a child and became a father himself at 15, said he had increasingly felt despair in recent years over the economy and the state of the country in general. His mother, though she relies on Medicaid and food stamps, said she resents other forms of government assistance that she thinks encourage people not to work.
Bass learned more about politics through his grandmother, Melody Gillespie, who serves as the Montague County GOP chair.

He bet his life savings on paper straws. Trump may destroy his business.
After 50 years toiling in the country’s paper mills, the 75-year-old plunked his life savings into creating a “24 hours strong” straw that he manufactures in Woodstock, Illinois, and sells to more than 1,000 restaurants, bars, coffee shops and casinos.
But now, two years in, Spinelli says the party is over. President Donald Trump’s executive order last month calling to “end the use of paper straws” dealt a swift, decisive blow to his business, Boss Straw. Orders have stalled, even though the action only stopped purchases of paper straws by the federal government. Instead of selling $800,000 worth of straws this year, Spinelli fears it’ll be one-tenth of that.
“Our distributors are saying, ‘Everyone’s going back to plastic now because of the president,’” he said. “The president I voted for, the man who says ‘Let’s make America great again, let’s help small businesses grow,’ that man is going to put me out of business.”

Riley was a good hire. Bit them in the ass j. in the end though. He’s made a bunch of good other hires and retained Gasso. Krueger took basketball to a final 4. Skip Johnson got baseball to the finals. Men’s golf is a juggernaut. Gymnastics is the best in the country. Women’s basketball was a good hire.
he’s had notable misses though. Especially lately. Venables and Moser aren’t the guys. Those are the revenue makers.
I don't think Moser was a bad hire. I just think that's a dead end program now. Almost no fan support, what NIL money they have goes to football and softball, not a great arena, no in state talent, etc. They had a good program for a long time but that was in the pre NIL days.
What demand there is for basketball in that market goes to Thunder games for a whole list of reasons. It killed all fan interest for both OU and OSU.

It's a little bit of being young and idiotic mixed with hanging out with what are basically professional hoes that are like 10 years older than him that know exactly how to play him. Not absolving him of being irresponsible but theres a lot of women that use the babies as meal tickets.
When it happens once it's understandable and it's a mistake to learn from, but he's had it happen multiple times now.....it's on him at this point, he's been around long enough to know better than to fall in that trap.

The rockets have exactly 2 guys that you could consider undersized. They employ as much defensive length on the wings as just about anyone.
The rest of it is within a standard deviation of reality.Jalen Green is borderline undersized and FVV and Reed Shepard are wildly undersized to the point you can't play them at the same time. God forbid you play them at the same time with Green at the 3.
For Green to be a 6'4" (if that SG, he needs to be offensively elite. He is not elite. He's a PG body playing SG.
I guess Smith is tall enough but he's 6'10" and getting 6 rebounds per game so I'm not sure what the height does.

I hadnt thought about that Cathie Wood idiot in quite awhile, but heard that her portfolio was now back to underperforming the SPY on a 52 week basis. I thought that was odd, since last time I noticed the symbol, it was on a pretty nice run. So I checked the portfolio allocation....she's certainly got the touch. Truly gifted.
She's basically just heavy Tesla and always has been.

on last night's oscars there were several digs at the public at large about the loss of 1000 screens over the past couple of years
this was the starter kit:
not that the academy will ever read this, but a surl discussion of this topic will be interesting
why is the public cinema endangered?
- the #1 reason I dislike the public cinema is the assault on my retinas and eardrums for 15, 20 sometimes 25 minutes showing previews for films I WILL NOT PATRONIZE in any format
- #2: the price of concessions is assrape; 2 hfcs sodas and a popcorn is now $25 bringing the total expenditure to $50; and i hate hfcs; if theater owners can't make money on your film without $10 sodas then maybe the art houses and alamos of the world are the only theaters that should remain in business
- #3: you want us to patronize your best work, but it's not available; the brutalist was released on the coasts on december 20th to make your oscar deadline, nationally on january 24th and has made $10m in 5 weeks; i had never heard of it before last night; today in north texas, with 8 million residents, the brutalist is showing at 410pm at the mockingbird angelika and at 440pm at the grapevine mills amc; houston: 2 screens, 3 showings, austin, belton & el paso round out the cities where the brutalist is showing less than 10 times today in a state of 28 million people
- #4: the shopping mall was a 20th century construct overtaken by the digital age; while b&m retains it's foothold in certain segments, the advent of 82" in-home theater for the masses has already made large-screen projection obsolete for theatrical art (captain america is not theatrical art)
#3. 100%. We legitimately like going to the movies but most of the movies we want to see either aren't anywhere near us or in some obscure theater at an odd time. I want to see Anora, Babygirl, and The Substance but I can't find any other them so I'm just waiting until they come out on streaming.
Instead, all of the theaters are stacked with cartoons and comic book movies.

Punch to the balls after a punch to the gut. In theory, they were still going to the playoffs with a (maybe) healthy AD.
Now they likely fall out if Phoenix gets their shit together. (Even if the Suns do that, they're not winning the play in games.) Kings playing well, too, and no one saw that coming. Races seem to be tween the Lakers and Nuggets for the 2/3 and the 6-10 for the order and if they can avoid the play in.

I, for one, am absolutely shocked by @Aqua Buddha being a bit low on Houston's long term success. Almost (but not quite) as shocking as his bombshell that "I still think OKC is the favorite for the finals, depending on injuries" posted way back in (checks notes) February of 2025.
That said, I'd take Amen 100% over Fox and I suspect Spurs fans would also. Sengun is a conversation and I'd take Fox over Green.
On 3/2/2025 at 11:11 PM, ChickenSandwich said:Wemby not withstanding, Amen and Green, Alpi all have higher ceilings than Fox. Multiple Rockets have higher ceilings than Castle.
No one close to Wemby though.
I tuned in last night to watch the Rockets play OKC and was a bit disappointed to see everyone was hurt except Green. "We'll see if Green can score when he's the #1 option," said to my miniature dachshund who seemed unconcerned. (Especially with OKC being on the back end of a back to back and it being their third game in four days.)
Green then offered up....6-14 (42%) and 1-5 from 3. If that 42% sounds familiar, it's because that's his % in every single year he's been in the league. Green's ceiling is basically what Fox is right now. Career 47% shooter with one season at 51%. Yes, he's older but by his 4th year, he was at 48%. Good three point shooter (not great) but for Green to improve to 48% would be a whole other tier. Maybe he can do it but don't pretend his ceiling is a tier above Fox. He's just not a good shooter.
Little Reed Sheppard finally got to play, though. He put up some decent numbers but on defense, showed why he can't be on the court with another 6'0" PG, which is why he doesn't play. SGA's face lit up like it was Bronny James. 51 points in 36 minutes.
Houston's problem is the best players are still B guys without any A's. The shooting isn't great and they're undersized at some positions. Despite the injuries, last night they had a #2 pick and two #3's and two of them aren't starters on a title team. One barely plays. Thompson seems like he has some upside in the future, though.
I will give them credit for all playing hard, though. Coach seems legit. They have enough assets that they can maybe deal for Durant or someone next season. Package Sheppard, Smith, and some picks and the Suns may bite.

First time I've really watched SA this season. I really like their roster going forward. Wemby, Fox, and Castle are a very good core and then you add in all the draft picks. Sochan is good as well. (Maybe he's the core, maybe he's not.)
Their long term upside if higher than Houston, quite frankly. Wemby and Fox would both be the best players on Houston's roster.
Over the next five years or so, the West looks like it'll be OKC, SA, LAL, and maybe Houston. Denver will putter out in a few years and Dallas has maybe 2 years at best.
Anyway, really like SA's future.

The Beal trade fucked them and everyone except Durant could see it coming. They should have just told him no.

Also stated, " I’ll just say many of my (Republican) colleagues are not doing town halls"
From Article:
"More so than in Portland, Corvallis, Hood River and other Democratic strongholds, residents in Bentz’s vast rural Oregon district depend on Medicaid and food assistance, money to prevent and battle wildfires, programs to boost farmers through purchasing wheat for poor countries and grants to upgrade infrastructure like high-speed internet coverage across vast expanses."
Aren't these the same people that want to secede from Oregon altogether?
Maybe they should just pull themselves up their bootstraps.

On this board, we were selling Arnold before he ever stepped onto your campus.
He’s a camp hero with a helicopter parent from a system offense with no elite skills. He had no business being ranked the way he was. Contrarian rubes like that fatfuck pedophile Mike Farrell ranked him over Arch Manning … just because. They wanted everyone to know how smart they are.
Arnold may play better at Auburn, but there’s nothing there to get excited about other than his overrated recruit ranking pedigree.
The fact that he hit the open market and his best offer was a bad Auburn team with a HC about to be fired says a lot. If he were good, any number of good teams would have offered.

NBA 2024-25 Season Thread

Same. I know that most coaches tighten up the rotation in the playoffs but they go a legit 10 team with 7 of them basically mostly interchangeable wings. Even with the three big men, two of them can shoot. Everyone good to great at defense, too. These other teams like Denver and LA just don't have any depth and OKC just comes at you the whole game. Even today, Jalen Williams and Shai only played 38 minutes each. Meanwhile, Jokic and Murray played 42 and Porter was even at 38. Hell, the sat the top 6 players against Portland and still won by 20 or some such.
Their weakness is still overall shooting. They can collectively hit long cold stretches.
