re: TUE NBA Playoffs, 2 Games

Just have to ignore the trolls, man. Find the reasonable people, respond to them, and ignore the rest.
If you want to start the game thread, go for it. :cheers:
As a Pels fan, I obviously have no dog in this hunt. You’re an OKC fan—we get that. No one expects you to be embarrassed by how your team plays; you’re rooting for results, and we all understand that.
However, I think it would go a long way if an OKC or SGA fan could just acknowledge: 'Yeah, Shai is my guy, he’s the MVP, and he’s getting us a ring—but I can see how his style of play might turn some people away.'
It’s not like you have to denounce the guy. Most basketball fans appreciate a small-market team that plays elite defense. But the staunch unwillingness to be objective about his style (despite the amazing results) is exactly what leads to your interactions being primarily with trolls.

Play 1: As Shai turns into triple threat position and goes for pull up, Reaves has both hands on arm
Play 2: As Shai pulls up, Kennard makes clear contact with shooting elbow before shot is released
Plays 1 & 2. Marginal contact. In the playoffs, if the shot isn't significantly altered, that whistle stays in the pocket.
Play 3: Shai steps on Aytons foot (called a foul on IHart when Reaves did) Ayton then swipes down as Shai goes for shot attempt (no call on either)
This is "incidental" territory. Hunting a call on a foot-tangle is a high-risk, low-reward play in a high-stakes series.
Play 4: Shai goes to split the double and Kennard runs into him, gets semi clean attempt up
Initiating contact while splitting a double often results in a "no-call" or an offensive foul if the flail is too aggressive.
Play 5: Shai drives from left to right, Hayes jumps and his momentum carries him into Shai as he is airborne
If Shai is the one seeking the contact to draw the whistle, refs are trained to let it go unless it's a flagrant landing zone issue.
Hope this helps
But again, I have no interest in arguing these ticky-tacky fouls. Because Shai is so much better than any other guard in this series that we shouldn't be!
It's not that he isn't getting hit or the Lakers aren't getting away with stuff, it's that he's too good to even be playing for the whistle in the first place.
Even as a Thunder fan, you can at least acknowledge the narrative around him, no? Don't you want to see him get no calls and still just hang 50 on em? Wouldn't that go a long way in shutting-up a lot of the "haters?"

Not meant to be a troll post as I’m rooting for OKC in this series, but man…these are bad.
The Lakers have no one who can stay in front of SGA and he’s not getting his ‘Hall of Fame Whistle’ against LeBron.
So hopefully SGA just says to hell with the foul baiting and we get to see him torch the Lakers while only shooting single digit free throws/game.
To me, that would do a lot for him and silence some critics.

Hate to be that guy, but I don't see him coming here at all.
He's much more likely to wind up at:
-UF is Golden goes to the Warriors
-Orlando is they move on from Mosely (who likely ends up here)

Huh, I didn't realize that Defuniak Springs was so rough. I drive through there often. Seems pretty sleepy. I guess there is a lot of panhandle trash around there though.
The Lakeyard area is decent. But the underlying issue for DeFuniak Springs is simple: it's becoming the overflow for the coast. The housing market in Santa Rosa Beach and Freeport is pushing out anyone who can't afford it, and they're all ending up further north. That's changing the dynamic in towns like DeFuniak and Mossy Head.
Stabbing at FL Panhandle Middle School
Posted by Breadstick Gun on 3/24/26 at 11:05 am
Wish I was bringing another spring break post by the WCSO, but sadly a 7th grader pulled a knife and stabbed several other students and at least 1 teacher.
My wife (no pics) taught at this school 3 years ago and left partly because the kids were so problematic. Most of the students have at least 1 parent who is incarcerated. She has several friends that still work there and they say it was a very bloodly scene.
I live about 30 mins away, but I avoid Defuniak Springs at all costs. Place sucks...

WCSO INVESTIGATING STABBING AT WALTON MIDDLE SCHOOL; ONE IN CUSTODY WALTON COUNTY, Fla— At 7:22 am, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a stabbing at Walton Middle School in DeFuniak Springs. Walton County Sheriff’s Office had a School Resource Deputy on campus, and additional patrol deputies responded, as well as officers from the DeFuniak Springs Police Department. At 7:30 am, a suspect, a Walton Middle School student, was detained a block from the school. Two students and one adult were transported with injuries. Class at Walton Middle School was cancelled for Tuesday. "Our first priority, along with Walton County School Disrict was to ensure that students and staff were safe, the situation was brought under control, and accurate information was relayed to parents regarding reunification," said Sheriff Michael Adkinson. Additional information will be released when it is available. We appreciate the public's patience as we continue our investigation.

LSU Spring Football Schedule - No Spring Game?
Posted by Breadstick Gun on 3/23/26 at 10:41 am
Haven't seen this discussed much here, but I'm excited about spring football starting tomorrow. LSU released the schedule back in mid-February, but I haven't seen anything about a spring game.
I know I know...It's hot and people have better things to do than watch a glorified scrimmage, but I live out of state and am planning a trip home that weekend that just so happens to fall on that weekend (that spring camp closes). So, I'd love to bring my kids if they're doing one.
I know it's not on the schedule, but they also haven't come out and said they aren't having one, right? Thanks for any info. :geauxtigers:

1. Why is it our place to say who can and cannot make and own nuclear weapons, when we have our own?
We aren't just arbitrarily deciding who gets weapons; we're simply acting to enforce a treaty that was signed in the 70s (by Iran).
quote:
2. This may have opened a precedent to just decapitate regimes with whom we don't like. Who's to say a country won't just bomb the White House in the future and kill our president?
Valid concern as this could set a dangerous precedent. But our justification rests entirely on the doctrine of preemption. It's a principal that states we can legally and morally strike first, but only when there is credible evidence that Iran poses an imminent threat.
Our smart people must have decided that allowing a potential catastrophic threat to materialize is far greater than the risk associated with striking first.

I thought the same thing. I have a few friends who are Michigan fans and they’re pretty pissed about this.
They were super excited when it was initially announced that he was staying.
