re: Legit question about Fuaga

[quote]What the hell are the Saints going to do at LT. Resign Peat because he was ok LT back half of the season? Or let him go and pin your hopes on Penning? That would be very risky.[/quote]
They are going to have to resign Peat it seems. I’m more than ok with this. There’s no way we can brea...

re: B is not a fit with Z??

[quote] Arre teams doubling Z by not guarding B?[/quote]
What? People are saying this because they’re both fairly high usage players who live near the basket. BI plays further back but not further back enough to give Zion space to work. Also both require the ball to be useful and neither are plus...

[quote]It feels like his 3 point shooting is really the glue that holds us together. When they're not falling it makes it reeeeally tough[/quote]
Everyone blames CJ but it’s not really his fault that the team is so reliant on their number three. The coaches and front office have not done enough t...

[quote]If we play them, I'd go Zion at the 5, let Jokic score his 40 and try to outscore them. JV and Nance aren't stopping him anyway.[/quote]
Right. You basically have to punt on defending him and just have to out score them. I don’t know if Willie will do that though. Not in his DNA. ...

[quote]Denver is the last place we want to go[/quote]
That would be a tough out for us given that we have no answer at all for defending Jokic. That is my biggest concern. The wolves have size but we can put someone on Ant. We have no own who can defend Jokic. ...

[quote]While Jokic is an unbelievable superstar, I don’t see the league manipulating shite for them like other teams. I think the Pels could get a better straight up matchup with the Nuggets[/quote]
Im so tired of the rigged narrative. They won the NBA championship last year. ...
re: The Larry vs Val minutes...with Zion
Posted by higgsBoson on 4/4/24 at 12:31 pm
I actually met a low level analyst who was on the analytics team at the Cavs when Griffin was there. He raved about Griffin and how smart / how much he used analytics. It seems like we’ve completely ignored analytics since he’s been here. My feeling is that Willie does not seem to put much stock int...

re: If Brock Bowers or Rome Odunze are still on the board at 14, do you take one of them?
Posted by higgsBoson on 3/29/24 at 8:27 am
[quote]I understand your point. My point is there are alot more guys that can play LT than an do what Bowers will do. I think he's a better athlete than Kelce no doubt. He's going to have a huge impact on how defenses have to defend you for years to come. He's going to have a Gronk type impact for...
re: ESPN: How Alabama moved from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer in 49 hours

[quote]there is no backend reward for the players in this situation. Most of them aren't going to have a long NFL career, if one at all. They are now in a position where they have leverage for money. It is not their fault for taking it. you go turn down a massive pay raise and then you can judge ...

I live in San Francisco. Some of the stuff the media says about SF is true. All of it is true about Oakland. That city is rough right now. Some great restaurants though. ...

[quote]I agree but this place would have melted hard if we went with Campbell then.[/quote]
Why? People were upset when he left and I don’t think people hated the continuity hire. Just that Allen is a bad head coach and we all knew it....
re: Is there anyone left who thinks BI is worth his next contract?
Posted by higgsBoson on 2/26/24 at 3:03 pm
[quote]I'd probably want either of those 2 back for BI before Trae Young. Obviously you imagine Mobley gets shot down quickly but you at least try. Hell, I also wouldn't want to automatically get rid of Val if we landed a Jarrett Allen type, depending on how cheap we can resign him for. He's jus...
re: Derek Carr's contract has been restructured

[quote]I wonder if this restructure also included an extension (probably not or they would have stated), a total salary reduction (again, probably not), or more guarantees in the future because why not since we will never be able to walk away from it anyway[/quote]
He’ll never accept a total sala...

[quote]Clemson is a natural fit, but FSU really rubs a lot of folks the wrong way in the SEC. [/quote]
I’m not excited about Clemson. They’re about to be a forgettable program. I’d rather FSU and UNC. I do like think that UNC and Virginia fit the Big 10 academic mold way better though. ...

[quote]mavs yes … Thunder uhhhh I don’t know about that one[/quote]
When two teams are relatively evenly matched, go with the best players in a playoff series. Mavs are worse but have the two best players. Thunder is more of a toss up on the player level, but they’re a much more complete and bett...

[quote]Then out of nowhere, he just stopped shooting them at that rate, for reasons I don't think anyone knows.[/quote]
He started doing a lot more. He’s been the primary ball handler for the last few years. It’s pretty difficult to get into the groove of playing off and on ball in a game. He has...
