N.O. via West-Cal

Oh geez. We have Denver TONIGHT!?

This captures how I felt when Yves went down and pretty much everything that happened in the last fifty seconds.

If Talarico wins, it just proves, yet again, that candidate quality still matters. Trump, for endorsing Paxton, and Texas GOP primary voters would bear the blame.

I saw some real D at times. They played hard. But geez, they have to get some wins.

“ You're also seeing similar in-fighting with the DEMs when DSA-types oust traditional DEMs, outside of the most leftist areas (which is a House issue. We haven't seen it in the Senate yet)”

One thing I have noticed for a while now is that each side thinks their side is riven by those who just won’t get on board (RINO’s and DSA types) while the other side marches in lock step. There are times when this can have an element of truth to it—e.g., Pelosi had her moment of getting every vote she needed—but what it mostly shows is how little many members of each side know about the other.

LOL. “Trying to get UKR into NATO” was a line in the sand. The Putin live just cracks me up.

Sounds like a very low risk move to me. I looked it and he was a 45.5/34.5 shooter. If he can come off the bench, knock down some shots, and not embarrass himself on defense, there could be a role for him.

The first preseason game I saw (I think the first one) was a total mess early but since then, I even saw Z sliding his feet and staying in front.

It would be a LOT easier to stay engaged as a fan if they were out there busying arse on D instead of allowing wide open threes and straight drives to the rim.

Well said! While I agree with some of the criticisms, it is far too accurate to say that Z’s value was too low to move him than to say the Pels are still trying to build around him. As you note, he simply remains on the team.

I am all for experimenting with lineups. There is some talent and even depth on this flawed team so it’s even more important to find the right mix.
