re: Your 2025 offensive ROY

I was prepared.

Trey needs to shoot more

Posted by TeddyPadillac on 12/27/25 at 3:47 pm
Trey is averaging 4.9 3PA in the month of December. A mediocre, for Trey, 35%.

I know we have been playing a lot better as of late but Trey has to shoot the 3 more. I’m not sure what the change with Borrego has affected this but it needs to get fixed.



BI is averaging 5.7 3PA in December, shooting 43%. Just saying.

Dude works hard. I’ve said previously, you don’t get his arms and muscle definition by not working out. He hits the gym hard.


:lol:
There are plenty of guys who are just naturally muscular.

If Zion actually worked hard he’d be better at basketball today. At no point in his nba career has he been better than his Duke self.

Troy is projecting his own failures/worries/demons/struggles onto his so. He says he doesn't like his son but in the process he reflects on his responsibilities as a man and his own failures as an athlete and his criminal past and the resentment he feels toward his son (not achieving his dreams but his son has the potential to do so) and the relationship he had with his own father. It's never about one thing when the writing is good.




I didn't say the writing wasn't good.
I said he's a shitty father.
Both can be true.
There's no explanation or further reading to know that in that scene he was a terrible father.

Wasn’t the whole point of liv to play less golf because they didn’t like grind of pga




You mean wasn't the whole point to make a ton of money?

They made a ton of money, and they'll all start coming back to the PGA richer than they were. and LIV will eventually fold and we'll learn once again that Saudi Arabians throwing away gobs of cash thinking they can compete with the PGA and European soccer leagues will once again be laughed at.

JB spoke on this in a presser a week or two ago, basically saying Z has such a high pain tolerance that he doesn’t realize he injured himself until usually the next day or two


Yeah uh, that’s not how strained or pulled muscles work. Or knee injuries, or ankle injuries, or foot injuries.
The vast majority of basketball injuries are not pain tolerance related injuries. they are injuries that limit a physical ability. Just b/c you can suck it up and play on a sprained ankle doesn’t mean you didn’t know you sprained your ankle.

There were almost 300,000 violent home invasions in 2024 according to the FBI. There are approximately 148 MM housing units in the US.



So that’s how you justify treating every delivery driver to your house like a cold blooded killer?

And how many of those 300,000 were completely random and happening to people with normal jobs and a family living in a nice home in a nice area?


quote:

By my math that is 1 in every about 500 odds, nowhere near as low odds as you powerball example.


:lol: ok bud.

Do you have smoke alarms and fire extinguishers?



comparing the likelihood of a house fire, which is a common occurrence, to random thugs pretending to be UPS delivery guy invading your house and murdering you. Nice job.

I'm sure you're sitting there waiting and pointing a gun at the FedEx, UPS and USPS guy every day that way this never happens to you.


quote:

you should read up on the case of Ronald Exantus, then circle back to this thread.



Ok. Being murdered in your home by a random thug is like winning the lottery, the wrong way. This isn't some common occurrence, or something you can plan for unless you carry a gun on you 24/7, even when you sleep. The incident in the video wasn't random thugs murdering normal people in their home.
If you were looking for a lesson from the video, it would be don't deal drugs, not prepare for murderous thugs to invade your home.

Because I fricking want to


good enough reason to me.

What is it to you how I express my freedoms.



b/c your reasoning here was based on being a naive idiot.

If you think violent home invasions only happen to “bad guys” you’re using more crack than this guy was probably selling.



Sorry but i'm not living my life scared of violent home invasions like they are the norm, and i have guns. I have just as good a chance of winning the powerball tomorrow night as i do getting murdered in my home by random thugs.
You do you though.
quote:

This video reminds me. I need a few more guns.




Why? You a big time drug dealer or something?

Stop pretending like this was some random robbery gone bad and it could happen to anyone.

and yeah, those 3 criminals should be hung by their nutsacks 100' in the air until their nuts fall off and they fall to their death.

As a fan it’s easy to say this, fact is the Pelicans are bottom 3 in league revenue every year, they’re not paying 10 million a year for a coach. Gayle doesn’t have a shitload of liquid assets like other owners do to be able to lose money on the teams.




stop saying this.

The only way we'd ever lose money is if we were paying repeater taxes.
Our estimated EBITDA was $54M in 2024, and estimated at $77M last year.


Only two teams didn't turn a profit in 2024, the Clippers and Bucks, and that's b/c of their enormous tax bills while not having anywhere near the revenue of other big tax teams like Boston and GSW


There are plenty of teams hovering around $300-330M in revenue, and all are very profitable now b/c of the new tv deals and revenue sharing.
2024 Revenue
Grizzlies $299M
Hornets $304M
Pistons $306M
Pelicans $311M
Magic $317M
Thunder $321M
Wolves $328M

Average profits for those 7 teams: $71M with the lowest being the Grizzlies at $46M

Clippers and Bucks revenue was at $350M while their tax bills were $142M and $52M.

Very relevant.


NC State is 9-4 while we're 11-1 and they still have a much better NET ranking.

I don't want to hear the excuses. Just make the damn tourney or find a new job.

A reporter a week or so ago said Zion sat down with the team, the coaching staff and front office and asked them to please give him a chance to guarantee i make $87M the next 2 years.




FIFY.

Trade his arse.

Was in the Blender tonight. Great atmosphere and the lower bowl was actually pretty full. Very fun game to be at.


And you simply have to take the good with the bad with Poole. The 3 point shot wasn’t a bad shot. Wide open from the top of the key. I don’t have a problem with it. The turnovers after that were ridiculous.
I've always been a Liverpool fan since the early 2000's, but I don't have the hatred of Everton like the average Liverpool fan does. I've always had a fondness for them b/c of Tim Howard and LD's short loan stints, and i thought it was awesome 2 years ago when the fans basically willed the team out of relegation. Those atmosphere's at Goodison late in the season were amazing, as well as the games they played away from home.

I've always liked Fulham as well b/c they always seem to have US players, but that started with McBride for me.


The other team i want to see get back to the EPL is Portsmouth. Don't know why I liked them in the 2000's but i did.

re: If We Can’t Get Chambliss

I don't understand why any LSU fan wants to get Ole Miss players.
This is why college football sucks more and more each day. Chambliss should be a rebel next year, and he should want to beat LSU, not join them.

I don't want him, or anyone else from Ole Miss. There's other portal QB's that can be great at LSU that have more than 1 year of eligibility left.

What son wants a father that can't say i love you, or at the very least show him that you love you him? You can still be hard on your kid, while still telling him you love him. This pile of garbage told his kid he doesn't even like him, much less love him.


Again, frick that dad. The only positive thing he did for his son in that scene was teach him how to not treat your kid when you grow up and be a dad yourself.
What kind of shite was that?
Your son askes you why you don't like him and you basically tell him no i don't like you but i give you food, clothes and a roof b/c i have to. I was waiting for the part where he would say i love you, but that didn't happen. frick that dad.
