    Everybody Hates Draymond

    Hah, good point...the GS announcers really do rival even ol' Tommy in their unabashed homerism. Kind of funny that both Kerr after the game and Green today were very open about it being a deserved ejection, but you still have Warriors fans all over the net talking about how Dray is unfairly...

    The Clippers are the weirdest team. After they acquired Harden I really thought they wouldn't work as a team. Too much repetitive skill at the guards/wings lack of a power forward with only Zubac giving them any beef down low. I saw a few games in that initial stretch and didn't think it was a...

    This crosses into draft thread/s, but I wonder if you have any thoughts on Penix. My amateur opinion is that he'll be a steal in the 2nd round for someone, but one of the negative checks is that he's a (re)-injury waiting to happen. Per your "for awhile at least" aside in this post, is it...

    Bears trade Fields to Pittsburgh for 6th rounder (potentially 4th)

    That's super well stated. I'd also add that Fields is already both very popular among his teammates and among Bears fans. And justifiably as he seems like a stand up guy. But with a decent start, which is entirely feasible, there'd have been tremendous pressure on the Bears to stick with Fields...

    Have to give Collins credit for staying in there. Granted it wasn't a charge, so probably would have been better off either getting out of the way or just grabbing Edwards' arms, but still...takes some moxie to attempt to hold the line and Collins hasn't been a guy known for that. (tl;dr: always...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    followed up wiht a google search and among various unconvincing answers someone on reddit ("jackelfrink"...so he knows jack, I guess) wrote the following: I have as much confidence in jackelfrink as I do my QB analysis, but...fwiw, kind of makes sense, anyway.

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    Exactly the same except my guy would be Daniels. But "my guy is Daniels" with, per what you write, the caveat that I know jack shit (btw: what is "jack" shit?) so basically not going to stress on it and just hope that they're either confident in the guy who drops to them at #3 or confident...

    A pro doesn't blame the coaches for his struggles. I like Fields and no real issue with him having some frustration, but can't say he didn't unprofessionally call out his coaches when...he did. Of course Fields was likely right that the best use of him was to have more dependence on him...

    2023 Jets: Hello Darkness Retreat, My Old Friend

    Give points for consistency...accords perfectly with the tweet Ed Hillel posted earlier: View: https://twitter.com/RichCimini/status/1744379652498473291?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1744379652498473291%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    This is awfully semantic. I think you could literally switch the two words and came to same conclusion. Is expendable stronger than replaceable? Or vice versa? I don't know...but sure does seem like ginned up outrage based on such minor semantics.

    3 out of 10 against below average teams is probably par for the course...if not less than par for the course, no? To add on a pure "eye test" mode, not just that much more active defensively, but offensively (while they were already obviously top notch), they seem to be passing/moving in a...

    And Towns before Edwards. KAT had a moment of daylight to shoot. Hesitated. So had to pass to Edwards. Who...had an opening (brief, to be sure), hesitated...and then drove. Redux. And this was about 90 seconds after Edwards drove and just wildly flung the ball to no one, leading to a breakaway...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    It's pretty much as simple as that. 1) it's a no-brainer you take the 3rd of the top-ranked QBs with the 3rd pick. Don't even think about getting cute. 2) The only complication is your internal rating is that, say, Daniels, is decisively not a guy you have ranked with the other 2 (and I've...

    Really liking Reddick as a commentator. He doesn't say much. Such a relief. (That is Reddick, right?) Pretty good Lakers-Nuggets game, too. That LBJ drive for his 40,000th was classic.

    Mayo: Season 1

    What a "walkback!" whew...dodged a bullet there of free agents potentially expressing interest. Seems like Carroll should be more of a cautionary tale for NE fans than for Mayo. Turns out he was an excellent coach who was run out of town by the Borges crew for silly reasons like being...

    All NBA Teams so far

    All the silliness about LeBron not making it has been replied to. Anyone who thinks he isn't an all-NBA player isn't watching the games nor looking at the stats. That said, the original was still a really good list from TR. Changes I'd make to that list would be Kawhi on 1st team in place of...

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    The argument was a lot stronger than that. "Bile" was the word used in post above in re WEEI/Borges/Lobel et al, and it's totally correct.

    Yep. I’ll add one more to your litany: screwing up the hire of Ty Lue over insisting on having control of assistant coach hires.
