Kill Tony
Tonight’s Golden Ticket winner Angel Diaz was probably the best interview in quite some time. Imagine a Latino guy from New York in Idiocracy.

I think Ime punches a locker every night because they didn’t draft Castle. Imagine his ego after doing what he did in Boston, getting a slap on the wrist, and then a second chance with a loaded young roster. The front office ain’t telling him shit, especially on who to play.

Good question. They have a recent win in OKC.

A win is a win. 1.5 games back of the 2 seed and staying the hell away from OKC in the bracket.

If Siakim doesn’t sit for entire second half of the season, the Pacers GM should be arrested. They should play 2 way guys and G Leaguers down the stretch. Siakim + Haliburton + top 5 pick will be right back at the top of the East. They really need a center though. Need to address it in free agency. Sucks we caught Siakim twice because the Pacers are probably historically bad without him. No easy outs in the NBA anymore. Especially if you’re the Rockets.

Grabbing Alpi a break with less than 6 minutes left. What in the actual fuck?! I’m Ok with playing Holiday when Reed’s shot isn’t falling, but he doesn’t need to sit for an entire quarter especially with a rotational player out.

Hopefully he gets his legs/stroke back after the break.

Reed looks great in extended minutes. Shocker. KD is out tonight so they started Reed for a scoring punch.

Texas Offseason 2026 - "All In" On A Few Things
The way too early preseason polls are puzzling. Texas is routinely getting left out of the top 5. Donald Glover good gif, but what are the national talking heads seeing that we aren’t? The schedule should be pretty tough, but is there more to it?

Landman
He’ll be involved in 3 episodes tops and hand it off to CBS procedural machinists. It’ll probably run for 20 seasons and the median viewer age will be 75.

Disregard this post. Just realized he was Meekus in Zoolander.

I’m against trading Tari. Not sure who would deal a like player on a rookie contract + a point guard. The Kings seem to have already made their annual regarded trade.

The Nordic cinema sketch was probably the only good fit for Skars Jr. He’s a giant Swedish Viking. Comedy is not his strong suit.

I’d kill for a NBA undercover piece where a rival GM evaluates our roster. I don’t think I can handle another Tari and Reed are really good vague analysis segment from The Ringer.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms HBO Max
And as our little buddy lays out in a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, most Westerosi view the Targaryens as incestous alien invaders. Think about how the Angelo-Saxons viewed the Normans and multiply the hate times 1000x.

As always, absolute power corrupts absolutely. It doesn’t matter if it’s well intentioned.

(Books) A Song of Ice and Fire Wild Theory Speculation Thread
Aright, humor me here. If we put the first 5 novels, the novellas, Fire & Blood, The World of Ice and Fire, the Winds of Winter chapter leaks, and all the dumb blog posts, into ChatGPT, could we basically get the posthumous version of Winds of Winter? You know his publishers are going to do exactly the same shit after he dies.

Still plenty of time. Especially when you have Jokic.

A very sad story. I respect him for playing hard, but what a fuck up.

Grammys
Cher drilling ketamine(?!) and walking off stage when she’s supposed to present the nominees is pretty epic.
