The players seem to be playing harder. For a long season with too many games that feel like the players are sleepwalking through, the tournament has been successful in raising the competitiveness. That's a success even if the details of the tournament are debated.

He's too "black" for their taste (and before you bring up Murray, he was an exception to the rule as a rare opportunity to get a lottery level talent, at a position of need, at 29). I doubt they'll be in position to draft him anyway. As the player with the most perceived star power, he'll...

No moral victories. Maybe the guys should play defense and be more assertive and decisive on offense if they don't want to lose on tough calls.

they're protecting the FBI plants who came in on ghost buses to goad peaceful MAGA protesters to attack the US government.

Israel is making Gaza uninhabitable for those displaced. Most will have no homes to return to, the places they were told were safe are being bombed, and in the meantime, the whole population is being denied clean water, fuel and food. Schools, hospitals, universities, places of worship and...

Wednesday, 27 December. Utah at home. We will win. :flag:

A prime Manu type move would have been for Sochan to jump up, (while not bumping pussy Trae at all) slowly spun in the air and do a dump off pass to the trailing Wemby for the Slam. Sochan is not there yet but that would have been cool. Trae Trae did a good job of setting up. But my Q was...

and?

Not really Last year many teams decided to tank during the year, Portland for one started sitting their players with about 25 to 30 games left.

Unfortunately, I think they blow it up this offseason. If Lavine goes, there's no reason to keep Caruso. Ball's had multiple knee surgeries and may not ever come back again. Pat williams is the ultimate tease as he's got great size and looks like he could be a great two way wing but he hasn't...

I’ve actually liked it tbh. The Spurs could be the next Indy in a year or two, which helps build player confidence and gives the fan base some sense that a rebuild strategy is going in the right direction. There have also been some specific games that have been fun (Dallas-Houston, GSW-Kings come...

80% displacement of the total population of a place is drastic. So is 1% war mortality over 2 months.

Yeah, Chicago is trickier by the day. Top 10 next year, and then Top 8 in 2026 and 2027. The silverlining is they’ve been better with Zach out these past few games (addition by subtraction potential?), and they did extend Vuc. Maybe enough to stay middling next year?

Yes it is. The NFL takes 18 weeks to get to the knockout rounds. But the actual tournament is the same. The IST can't be any more like the NFL besides reseeding after every round.

Spot on. Even if they wanted to give this season a go, they need to pick a path like right now. Pick is only Top 6 protected.

C'est la vie.

:lol This post pretty much ensures Zelensky is going to stay in Ukraine and in power this time next year.

proportionally, the figures roughly line up.

"common sense" is just a loaded word. Ask a Christian or a Muslim or a Right-wing or Left-wing what "common sense" means and they'll never agree. And please, the current brand of conservatism should be kept as far away from the buttons as possible. Pure demagoguery and incompetence to the max.

Hungary? Or look at Poland, how difficult it is to get rid of PiS despite they lost the election. The problem with the current right wing movements is that they no longer think democracy works, so it's easy to cling to fascism.

Too early to fall into the polling trap, but you do you and jump the gun again. Not really worried about Old Joe chances as long as the (R) candidate is Trump, basically. And if it's not Trump, I don't really care who wins.

Nah. Was the right call and a good play

This is one of the problems with owning a pick with protections - the team that has to give up the pick is in control of its own destiny and can choose to tank or not to manipulate the pick. I am cautiously optimistic about he Toronto pick, but the one I have lost all hope on is the chicago pick -...

25 games left is too late to catch probably the top 7-8 tankers. You can’t start that late and lose enough games. If they wanted to tank, they needed to trade one or both of OG and Siakam last summer. Your tank needs to start in July.

If TOR is anyone near the 10th Pick with 25 games left in the season, they’re gonna tank hard tbh. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that pick conveying this year, though I’d love to be wrong.

Why is Collier the antithesis of a Spur? I worry Topic with the natural pick is too high, and think he’ll be there at 9-10 with TOR pick. Agree on Sarr, especially after they extended Zach, but it’ll be tempting if he’s still on the board when they pick. I’m sticking with Collier/Dunn as my...

A couple days break from seeing this team getting blown out by 30 does my mentality good tbh. I love the Spurs but the product is hard to watch when all I want is for them to win lol

But the students want the issue settled just as much as anyone else. And it's been proven the 4 team playoff does not work. So what's the answer? We can't go back to deciding it via the associated press. I think at the very least it needs to be an 8 team playoff. This year has shown that four teams...

When they announced it Sunday, I was good with the decisions. After reading and listening to a lot of the arguments for each team, I now lean towards the idea that Florida State should have been in, probably over Alabama. The whole idea that the Travis injury was the biggest deciding factor...
