  1. Since these were all white guys, we can blame this on DEI, right?
  2. That's where I was even when it happened. I get the logic behind wanting to move off Luca but you traded for him for......Anthony Davis? M'kay. Poetic that he got hurt the first game in Dallas. Speaking of that, they're bringing him back last night to compete for that #10 spot. Why?
  3. You can't be a GOAT level player and not focus on fitness and conditioning, though. Did anyone see Luka playing 70 games a season 10 years from now at age 35? I certainly didn't and still don't. All time talent, though. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the trade was unbelievably bad but they weren't wrong in their original reasons.
  4. Josh Giddey messed around and had a triple double last night. While not a great fit in OKC, I was always a fan of his skill set unrelated to guessing the ages of girls. He's played really well as of late. 20/8/6 during February while 50% FG and 53% from 3. So far in March, 21/9/9 and 52% FG and 35% from 3. He's a RFA after this season so it'll be interesting what the Bulls do. If he's in a system where he's the full time PG, I always thought he could put up All Star level numbers like he has the last two months. He's not great on defense, though. I still think that trade worked out well for everyone involved. Caruso is a better fit in OKC and Giddey is getting more exposure in a contract year.
  5. ‘Deport every person under the sun’: ICE detains Cubans during immigration appointments Federal authorities in South Florida have recently detained at least 18 Cubans during scheduled immigration appointments, local attorneys say, highlighting that a group that has historically enjoyed special immigration benefits is not immune to the Trump administration’s intensified mass deportation efforts. In recent years, hundreds of thousands of Cubans who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border have received I-220A forms, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement document that records someone’s release from custody subject to certain conditions. https://www.yahoo.com/news/deport-every-person-under-sun-172343782.html
  6. In all fairness, there is a lot of sensory overload at most NBA games.
  7. Your mom is the #1 tight end....
  8. I would disagree. $6B for a team without an arena is absurdly high but it's the Celtics, which is one of the top brands in all of sports. A new team is just that. It has no brand. It also depends on which city the teams are in. Seattle would be worth more than Vegas. (I assume those are going to be the two.) Actually, I'd add teams to those two cities and move the Grizzlies or Pelicans to Nashville. I'd let one of them buy into that option, if possible.
  9. On the Ikard and Lehman podcast a few weeks ago, they were talking about Mitchell's weight. Ikard came to OU as a TE originally before moving to center. He said "Be careful, my man. Just a few more pounds and you're going to look down and see the ball between your legs." I laughed.
  10. Yeah, that's a steep assed price but it is one of the brand names in all of American sports.
  11. Oh, easily. Outside of KD and Russ and maybe Paul George later, those teams were painful to watch on offense. I wouldn't watch much during the regular season and I remember being surprised about how bad some of the supporting cast was on offense. I get what Presti was trying to do at the time with "positionless basketball" but he'd get these guys who were great on defense and fit that mold but had zero offensive skills at all. They're were asking the 2 or 3 stars to basically bring their A game every single game. He nailed it this time, though. Outside of the bigs, they've got 7-8 guys who fit that mold but they can all shoot this time. They're all wings that are long and athletic who are great on defense but can all shoot reasonably well. Even the bigs are pretty versatile and they can shoot, too. Seriously, who is the 9th man on that team? Is it Caruso? He was first team all defense in Chicago and is a 35% 3 point shooter.
  12. Them winning by 33 is the best thing about it. It was basically the Thunder bench vs the Philly deep bench. Philly seems like they kinda suck. The NBA is looking into them doing something similar against Portland a few weeks ago and they won by 20.
  13. Epic battle tonight between OKC and Philly. OKC owns the pick, top 6 protected. Philly sitting there at 6th worst in the league and rolling out a G League roster. OKC's "injury" report is SGA, Dort, Cason, Jalen Williams, Hartenstein. Chet is "available."
  14. It was Kyle Rittenhouse's dream school for god's sake. Then Blinn, then a pawn shop in Florida....
  15. Cade got ejected for following a ref around the court and berating them for 5 minutes and even getting one tech. He was literally spewing profanities the entire time. He was asking for it. Anyone except Draymond Green would get tossed. Total fouls for the game were Pistons 21 and OKC 20. SGA shot 10 FT's but 2 of them were T's and another two were from an intentional foul. He also played a masterful game and looked like Kobe doing it. This whining thing is getting old and isn't supported by any data at all. Detroit complaining about a foul that was called "hostile" but they reviewed it and overturn it. I have no idea why sand is in his vagina.
  16. It's amazing really. The more he talks, the worse the market gets and he won't SHUT THE FUCK UP.
  17. Agree on that, too. I like Bella Vista/Back 40 but there is a LOT of up and down there due to the roads. Climb up to get to the road, ride down after the road. Repeat. They are building a chair lift type thing that should be ready in a few years so there's that.
  18. You might double check but Hobbs might still be closed from last summer's storm damage. It's scheduled to reopen this summer, I'm just not sure exactly when. Coler was also closed for a large chunk last summer. I agree, though. Hobbs is my favorite, especially the part by the lake.
  19. The dumbest thing I've ever seen was Minny and OKC playing a back to back a few weeks ago. First game was in Minny with an 8:30 tip. Both teams then flew to OKC and landed at 2 a.m. or something for a 7 pm tip the next night. Why?
  20. This grinds my gears, actually. There are a lot of 3 games in 4 nights going on around the entire league. 7 games in 11 days or something. Can they keep the 82 game schedule but just spread it out? Maybe start a week earlier in October and go into mid to late April on the back end? No one likes seeing teams rest their players but I completely understand why they do it. Then you get to the playoffs and they're playing games like every 3 to 4 days and THAT drags out for two months.
  21. Jalen Williams and Caruso didn't even play, either. This is only the second time I've watched Boston play this season and they seem limited and boring AF. They just throw the ball around until someone jacks a three. OKC is a terrible matchup them, to your point. Everyone on that team is long and can defend. They can put Dort on Jaylen Brown and let everyone else switch. Dort has completely shut down Brown in two games so far.
  22. OKC/Boston highly entertaining. Boston shot 36 three's in the first half. Jeez. I think they said the record is 75 or something? OKC 18-25 on two point shots. Okie City not playing with the good Jalen Williams, though. Caruso also out.
  23. And they'll blame immigrants and Caleb will believe that.
  24. Sorry Caleb. Not really, though. You chose....poorly Caleb Ragland, a soybean farmer in Magnolia, Ky., voted for President Donald Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Now, however, he has to navigate a tariff minefield at a time when the sector is already facing major headwinds. Ragland works with his wife and three sons and has deep roots in the community. His family has been farming on the land for more than two centuries. But in recent years, he has seen a double-digit percentage decline in crop prices while production costs rise, with soybean futures having gone down more than 40% over the past three years along with corn futures. As pressures mount in the industry as a result of tariffs imposed by the second Trump administration — as well as retaliatory levies from other countries — he’s worried about the longevity of his business. “My sons potentially could be the 10th generation if they’re able to farm,” Ragland, who is also the president of the American Soybean Association, told CNBC. “And when you have policies that are completely out of our control – that they manipulate our prices 20%, 30%, and on the flip side, our costs go up – we won’t be able to stay in business.” “We’re already at the point that we’re unprofitable,” Ragland said. “Why on earth are we trying to add insult to injury for the ag sector by basically adding a tax?” Ragland pointed out that he “appreciates the president’s ability to negotiate” and wants Trump to be successful for the sake of the country. However, he emphasized that those in the industry, especially soybean producers, don’t have any “elasticity in our ability to weather a trade war that takes away from our bottom line.” “Folks are upset,” Ragland said about sentiment from other farmers, stressing that they all need relief through deals that reduce barriers to trade and a new five-year comprehensive farm bill – legislation that provides producers with key commodity support programs, among others. “You’re talking about people’s livelihoods,” he remarked. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/11/how-trumps-trade-policy-is-putting-pressure-on-us-farmers.html
  25. Hey, Steve.... Go fuck yourself since no one else will, you incel piece of shit.
