at least they aren't getting raped by another white guy

[heyheymymy]

TL;DR on the Wright interview? I'm watching on mute lol

[Mugen]

Should have had RC do an interview instead. At least he would have shown up w/ a Turkey Leg tbh.

Oh come on. You can’t be that salty. He just said it was difficult to trade Dejounte but it was the right time.

Wesley is the player they thought he was. Sochan is a free spirit and got dat drip dialed up to 100. Basically admitted it's tank time.

Nothing too interesting, IMO.

I'll believe it when/if Poeltl is traded tbh.

[GAustex]

16 is like Stacey Augman

I'm not salty lol I was on the phone

There was a time when it was necessary. I was a supporter of all the precautions. Outbreaks weren't manageable, measurable deaths and we didn't have the resources for care that we do now. But we're in different times now... the virus has mutated, less deadly, shorter and less damaging illnesses etc.

They need to rethink the policy. Time to progress away from all the testing and protocols. If you're sick, showing symptoms then by all means, stay home but all this testing is a waste of time and resources.

Every variant has gotten more and more contagious. The R0 of the flu is 1.5, meaning each infected person infects 1.5 other people. The R0 of the alpha strain was 3.3. Measles is considered the most contagious virus known, and its R0 is 18.0. This new strain has an R0 of 18.3. Right now, deaths are manageable, because of vaccinations. It’s less effective on each strain, and there are do ented cases of re-infection 3 weeks after and infection with this strain.

If one player gets the new strain, he will infect the whole team if he doesn’t isolate. Surgical masks are only minimally effective against it. If you’re going to mask, go back to the N95 or KN95. If you don’t mask, you will be infected. There’s no chance to avoid it.

Very similar to his Post-Draft presser tbh.

Likes the draftees, flexibility with future picks and cap space for team building process.

[RC_Drunkford]

I hope the Spurs play like this during regular season. Try to win the first half, then lose the game in the 2nd

[mystargtr34]

I haven't heard Mark Jones go to the "hotter than fish grease" go to line this summer league, but I just heard him say "he kept the 'I' and gave the rest of the vowels back" after that drive by the Rockets scrub.

[RC_Drunkford]

sheesh Wesley is 2/14 from the field

[timvp]

Those 1 question player interviews are awkward, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Malaki with the quickest sideline interview in history

[John B]

The 1st half they're not missing, the 2nd half is just ugly, too many turnovers, missed shots.

[mystargtr34]

Yeah if Days isn't on an Exhibit-10 deal, other teams are going to start offering him contracts any second now. If he's on an Exhibit-10 deal, he's the ultimate no-brainer of a two-way contract. But I'd seriously consider locking him up for three or four years. Might as well use their salary cap space for good.

Maybe Days is just getting lucky but I'd roll the dice on him based on what I've seen. Super high energy. Amazingly strong. Mobile enough and high enough basketball IQ to operate out of the paint. 10/10 shooting stroke for a big. I even like his bowling ball body type for the modern game. He's probably like 6-foot-6 without shoes but his strength makes up for it, IMO.

He could be our store brand Grant Williams, PJ Tucker type. Gives the team versatility. Those strong, burly Lowe centre of gravity guys with quick feet can give a lot of scorers problems.

Versatility is king these days.

Agree. We need to lock this guy up. Can't wait to see him get more minutes in the 4th.

[timvp]

Wilt Chambarlow shows flashes of something

[heyheymymy]

Barlow gone Tragic Johnson sighting lol

[timvp]

When Branham gets space, he's like Khris Middleton Redux.

[timvp]

The Rockets got some chunky guards. Whataburger working overtime in H-Town apparently.

[Mr. Body]

When Branham has that curl, Blake's gotta hit him.

[Mugen]

Branham hurt himself on that dunk attempt. 100% he's gonna be out the rest of SL tbh

[timvp]

Branham has sneaky hops at times. On that layup, he went up an extra notch.
