I really appreciate you guys taking the extra time to do some in depth analysis of the games, especially for those of us who hav a hard time catching the games live.

Can someone explain to me how COVID protocols are anything but binary? How are some listed as Questionable (Brown, Ojelye, Green) and others listed as Doubtful (Tatum) then others are listed as Out (TT, GW, RW)?

Has there been any word about the timeline for The returns of TT, RW and/or GW, any of whom will eat into Tacko’s minutes?

It actually surprised me that they didn't find a way to get Gunner on the field for some bubble screens or jet sweeps.

Maybe this should go in the "If you were in charge of the Pats" thread, but how much would you be willing to give up for Watson?

So 30 minutes for Theis, 5 for Tacko, and then the rest with Marcus playing the 5?

Kevin McHale and John Havlicek say hello.

I think the other factor for BB is that I think he rates players based on more global comparisons than simply "best player available still on the board." This is why he will trade down so often. If he gets to 15 and doesn't see anyone who he thinks is a 15, he'll trade down. OTOH, if he sees...

That seems to be the challenge -- across sports -- for rookies: can they adjust to the league after the league adjusts to them?

Pricing middle of the first round seems to yield one of two options: Take the 3rd or 4th best at position like QB, DE, or OT; Take the best at a position like LB or OG or TE.

Hah! I literally typed half of Semi's line as point #4, and then deleted it, thinking that each element was eclipsed GWill's almost identical (but better) line.

I love the idea of PP cementing a role as starter, as a true facilitating PG who has some long-range 3P gravity. This also opens the possibility of Kemba coming off the bench in a new-age Microwave role, where he can be a PG whose primary role is scoring. This also inherently protects Kemba on...

What was the most surprising individual element of lat night's game: PP's 23/8? GWill's 14 pts on 5/9, 3/4 shooting? RWill's 15 boards? And which is the most sustainable? And which is the most hopeful?

This is a bit of a follow up on my earlier question. In this example, the Eagles aren’t “eating” any money in terms of new cash outlay, right? The pain comes in the form of accelerating what would be pro-rated/amortized signing bonuses that have already been paid into one lump sum today. Right?
