Both teams look gassed as hell.

Uh, he’s not. Why is that relevant?

Luka is 178 out of 214 in defensive win shares in the playoffs - you know, when teams hunt the defensive weaknesses on your team. So, I guess there’s a stat.

This and this. Easier to play defense when you get to settle into the half court a whole hell of a lot. I can’t believe this argument is still going on.

2024 US Open - Pinehurst No. 2 (June 13-16)
What a devastating choke job from Rory. I don’t really care that much about him, but even I felt a little queasy watching that putt on 18 miss.

Inside Out 2: Electric Boogaloo
Got back from it a few minutes ago. It is good. It isn’t as good as the first one, but it was worth seeing in the theaters.

2024 US Open - Pinehurst No. 2 (June 13-16)
The schedule is too jammed packed. I don’t see why you would hold a signature event the week before a major. Scheffler said he hadn’t even seen the course at any point until he showed up on Monday. Not surprised he struggled this week considering what his life has looked like since the Masters.

Next year will be Chuck’s “last year on TV”
His gambloor tendencies probably means he should keep doing it for a few more years

2024 Golf: Not even God can hit a 1-iron
Broke 90 out in Delaware in my first full 18 of the year. I was hungover as fuck but having to get my focus in line might have helped? Anyway I’ll keep drinking the night before

Wow. So many guys can win now.

Only 7:26 east coast. Easily another hour of daylight left.

Man Bryson is so dialed.

If this ends up being Bryson and Rory tomorrow…that will be very fun. As good as that was I think it was about 33 percent as good

Don’t think there’s been a better shot this year than that approach on 13 by Bryson. That was nuts.

Jokic is a top three defender now I guess.

Wow meeting SGA at the rim one time in transition. You’ve devastated my case.

[Surly Official Firing Squad] David Pierce Has Left The Building - FIRED
Hang the fucking banner. 20-10 in a conference with zero CWS teams. Lost by dog balls in an elimination game against a team from a shit pile town in a shit pile state where we have 50000x the money they have and oh by the way were seeded better than us because we routinely lost to directional Texas schools throughout the season. Where’s the ticker tape parade.

NBA 2023-24
That rating is bullshit because he doesn’t guard other guards. It’s all noise. He gets put on the worst offensive player on the other team which is some type of big almost 100 percent of the time. It’s not like Luka is picking up a SGA type at the three point line.

I’m sorry. The “Luka is an above average defender take” is absolute nonsense. First, he isn’t and probably will never be based on his track record of playing professional basketball for a decade. Second, he doesn’t need to be that within the context of his role on the team so why stan for it. Third, he’s hurt to some debatable degree, so the James Harden highlight reel may not totally be fair. Finally, I don’t see how anyone could have watched the first three games of this series, hurt or not, and come away with that take. Falling down and not running back is part of defense. Taking time to bitch at the refs instead of picking up a dude is part of defense. Dumb fouls in transition and 60 feet from the basket is dumb defense. Then you have all the blow bys and not giving a shit about contesting shit on the perimeter documented on the videos. With his size and intelligence he should at least be serviceable no matter what. He’s an awesome player and on the shortlist of top NBA guys. But to die on the hill of his defense is ridiculous to me.

They’re gonna get this course super fiery tomorrow. Lead may still be at -5 going into Sunday.

Cantlay is the worst. I hope he makes some more doubles coming in.
-
2024 US Open - Pinehurst No. 2 (June 13-16)
I mean he’s making the cut but his short game right now leaves him zero chance to make a run. Big thing about him is his driving has been really solid this year and his putting has gone off a cliff.

2024 US Open - Pinehurst No. 2 (June 13-16)
Bogey on 9 as well and actually got a putt to drop to avoid a double.

2024 US Open - Pinehurst No. 2 (June 13-16)
Spieth with a terrible bogey on 8 to drop back to even for his round. Gross.
