  1. That was sub-ortimal
  2. I doubt Indy pulls the plug. Win 3 in a row against the Warriors, and then trade for Curry in the off-season. LETS GOOOOOOOO
  3. Awww, I was hoping they would win by 60 and make a new record. Ah well, they can probably do it against the Pacers.
  4. Because they really want to have 4 games on Saturday and Sunday for each of the first 2 weekends of the playoffs. So they stretch a few series to make the schedule work. No telling how they pick which series get extended vs others, but that is the goal.
  5. They need to get together on a team with a lot of cap space and tradeable contracts... like the Brooklyn Nets!
  6. Yeah, I had a few of the same thoughts on the quick trip to Seattle, but I get it, it's not important and there really aren't a lot of hazards between Jackson and Seattle. Same with the 2 minute scene of Ellie boxing, we don't need a Rocky montage. The first episode showed how little Ellie/Dina cares about the zombies, they consider hunting them a sport because they are bored in Jackson Hole. I would imagine they understand that they are playing a different game now, and not taking unnecessary risks or wasting ammo, time and resources. The Northwest is cold, sparsely populated (if at all), and these two presumably know how to avoid the infected and are smart enough to not walk into human traps, so I guess nothing happened for 800 miles. *shrug* That's believable, it's not like this show is based on Red Dead Redemption 2. It appears that the WLF have taken over Seattle and defeated or maybe replaced the Fedra there, taken their armaments, vehicles, and fortifications. They will be a considerable force to be reckoned with, especially if Abby and friends are inside the fort or a part of those patrols. I'm not sure Ellie and Dina are going to have a good time if they are going to have to stealthily avoid the WLF army. Those rando Joker-faced people in the forest seemed like a rather capable tribe of wilderness folk that were likely hunted down by the WLF and murdered. They seem to be a lot better at hiding in the woods than Ellie and Dina with a horse will be. That may be intentional on the writers part to illustrate the WLF's tracking capability, it's hard to think of any way this doesn't end up with one of them captured. We have 4 more episodes to finish this season, so roughly 4 hours of screentime to finish this revenge story line. That sounds about right for them to learn the patrol patterns, scope out the base, set some trap or ambush, fail miserably, regroup, plan a new trap that works, things happen, zombie attacks, then capture Abby and kill her with a golf club before riding off into the sunset. Seems reasonable.
  7. They probably didn't want to pay another 7th rounder a few hundred grand, so they traded up to waste the pick and take a guy they had targeted. Would have been smarter to just swap it for a 2026 6 or 7th with some team looking to jump back in. I don't understand picking 2 DBs when you have lots of other depth issues, particularly the interior O-line. I do hope the Iowa TE can help with outside blocking at the very least. Better hope some of these UDFAs pan out, or dumpster diving results in someone decent, because if any starter gets injured we are going to be in deep shit.
  8. 8 pitch walk for Smith. Love seeing that kind of AB from a rookie. More guys need to stay in there and work pitchers to wear them out. Paredes is really good at doing that.
  9. Yeah the CB pick is puzzling, but most of all a waste of a pick at this point. This team has needs, CB depth could have been addressed later. There were a lot of other players I prefer.
  10. And people want to complain about his accuracy
  11. Nice......
  12. Good pickup, I don't think he would have made it to 58. First OT of the 2nd round off the board.
  13. I may be wrong, but I was sure that ESPN had Sanders ranked 2nd best available before this round started. Now he's 7th best among the remaining players. Is someone at ESPN messing with the ratings to save face?
  14. I like the Higgins pick, I think he will be an excellent #2 WR on the outside. Kirk should be the slot guy. Need more OL, a DT, RB, LB depth and maybe a TE if Stover doesn't seem to be a long-term solution. Lots of picks left, I hope they get some good guys to fall.
  15. My biggest concern is that the Browns need a WR, and have 2 of the next 4 picks. They will likely take one WR with those, so if there is a WR you want, you have to get him at 34. Trading back is fine and all, but it better be good value at this point. I think the Browns may sell this 33 pick to a team looking to draft Sanders, and we should hope so. Having your pick of the remaining players would be very nice. I could see the Raiders/Saints/Jets/Cowboys trading up for him to jump the line, and I hope they do.
  16. Probably had something to do with the Ja injury. He got undercut by Dort while trying to finish at the rim and landed hard. Never came back and the game flipped from that point on. He was on crutches later, so probably not gonna come back for game 4. OKC was getting destroyed up to that point, which was incredibly surprising.
  17. I think I would go with Jayden Higgins at 34 and be happy with it. He's a big dude, 6'4 215, ran a 4.47 at the combine, and is probably the best WR on the board. If they don't get him here, I think he will go soon to someone else. Could be a hell of an option to have across from Collins as a #2, since Kirk will be the slot guy.
  18. The Falcons trade is interesting in comparison to ours, but it's hard to speculate on how valuable that 2026 1st will be right now. Moving up 20 spots to the late 1st is costly though. Falcons get: 🏈2025 1st-round pick (No. 26) 🏈2025 3rd-round pick (No. 90) Rams get: 🏈2025 2nd-round pick (No. 46) 🏈2026 1st-round pick 🏈2025 7th-round pick (No. 218) The Texans probably have a few guys they still want, and didn't want to drop back to 46 in this draft.
  19. Dude has a ton of pockets on his jacket.
  20. Hahhahaha, love it. The Giants are so poorly run now, it's amazing. Great trade for Houston to only move back 9 spots.
  21. Wow, crazy episode, very GoT-ish in style. I didn't realize how many people they had in Jackson Hole. The place is massive, and there are way more people than what they show in the meetings that Tommy runs.
  22. Was there even contact there with Draymond's face?
  23. Draymond might have a better 3pt % in this series than Fred will. I don't know what's wrong with him, but he needs to fix it or stop taking 3s.
