Cardi B is washed, but… Norm loves native New Yorkers that need a shot in the arm. A.S. should do some deeply intense, uncomfortable sketch that would kill. He’s a terrific actor and a worthy heir to one of the greats.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
I sincerely apologize for me Flagg-Pippen comparison. I don’t think he’s LeBron. I don’t he’s Bird. But Havlicek is the floor. It is what it is. The Suns won a little too much and pushed the pick to 10. The Rockets got KD for 2 years. The Mavs got a generational player until they trade him for pennies on the dollar.- Bourbon
Pretty damned good, and exactly what I needed.- Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
They briefly covered this. They infected astronauts, nuclear submariners, and other isolated peoples first. Much like Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, it’s best to overthink it and enjoy the ride. The work is in the characters and cinematography, not the plausibility of the plot.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
Inside The NBA’s Welcome to the Sean Miller Experience!!!- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Win the ones you’re supposed to win. Beat the top of the East. Compete against the top of the West, and they’ll get the 4 seed. Best case scenario right now.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
I don’t know what a travel is anymore. #35 on the Hawks dribbled once from mid court and dunked it.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Ackerman attempting a dunk is a big missed charity opportunity. I hope the Rockets seize upon it.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
My hindsight is 20/20 post: Horrible medical information on DFS. He was out until Christmas, and he’s currently on a minutes restriction headed into February. The mother fucker is shooting 30% from the field. Shout out to the Lakers for letting him walk and then feigning outage for losing him to the Rockets. Pelinka is one Rob Lowe looking son of a bitch. I know the team loves Adams, but I would have signed Kornet instead of him. Similar contracts, close defensively, but Kornet is 2 years younger, no injury history and is vastly superior on offense. I get Adams fits the throw the ball at the basket and rebound it offense, but even when he was healthy opposing teams left him unguarded. Resigning with the Rockets without a sniff of outside interest should have been a huge red flag we all missed. Didn’t sign another guard. I just don’t understand it. It’d be like the Astros rolling into 2026 with a CF, RF, and Altuve in LF. The roster is completely unbalanced. All forwards. The good: Okogie. He’s a tweener but he plays hard. Improving 3 point shot. Damn good defender who rebounds like a demon at his size. Only making $3.1 million this season. Capela. They’re completely fucked without him right now. They would have been forced to make a desperate trade yesterday if he’s not on team. Only making $6.7 million. Reed I think they vastly overestimated Reed’s ability to play point guard. It seems like that ambition is all but abandoned at this stage. I know he’s 6’1” but he gets his shot blocked far too often. He needs to figure how to use his body to shield defenders.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Y’all need to chill with the ESPN Trade Machine Bullshit. Every organization has cap guys working full time on workarounds, exceptions, and loopholes. CJ played 35 games for the Wizards before he was dealt. 2025-2026 salary: $30,666,666. Based on the game checks, the Wizards paid CJ at least $13 million and some change this season. Is CJ at $17 million this season vastly superior to superior to DFS at $12.7 million. Fuck yes.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
What could have been. The Wiz would have taken a ham sandwich for him.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Worse. He’s begging off contested layups now too, and just for fun he can’t stay in front of anybody on defense now either.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
So is the thread thinking system/coaching or personnel on the lack of easy offense. I’d say a nice shitty mix of both.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
It’ll never happen, but I’d trade the Ari’s, FVV’s contract, and some picks right now for Giannis. The Rockets have 9 first round picks they could trade. The trouble is the Bucks will want young players as well. I’m a no on Amen and Alpi.- Bye bye Luby's
I’d say fried fish and to a much a lesser degree liver and onions are the headliners. People aren’t driving across town for fried chickens and chicken fried steak. They can order that anywhere. Fried okra and mac n’ cheese for the sides. Dinner roll. Ice box chocolate pie for the dessert.- Bourbon
Already happening in Austin I’d imagine. Very young city.- Bourbon
Does anybody has a line on the Spec’s Bourbon Day pick? 0 bottles in Greater Houston straight from the source.- Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - I'm With Stupid
And yet, every Bama fan will argue that Smothers and Coleman were 100% NIL recruitments and QB play had nothing to do with it. As always, don’t let facts get in the way of a good narrative. The rich schools are ruining college football.- A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms HBO Max
Any idea what the final 3 novellas are about? Gotta be Blackfyre.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Bench has to get better. Not sure the easy offense thing can get fixed this season/not sure if Ime is interested in fixing it. He loves Okogie. Like pulling teeth playing Reed.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
Wemby is on a not so public minutes restriction per Windhorst. I think he can play another 10ish so minutes in this guy. Just survive the surge.- 2025-26 Houston Rockets Thread - Back to Contention?
DFS is really going to have to earn his money now. He’s going to have to bang inside and play plenty of center minutes. Getting a quality center and a combo/PG in the buyout market seems like an impossible task. Stone did many salary cap favors during the KD trade. I hope his generosity is reciprocated. Perhaps we could leach on to 3-5 team trade and get some salary dumps. - All things SNL
