He really does a good job. He should clearly play Bond also.

He was great as Superman.
This movie clearly looks better than episode 8 and 9.

2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024 were fine/good

2022 and 2025 were not good

I will be honest. I have never even heard anything from bad bunny. Never searched it out. I have been well aware of all the other recent artist.


All the teams outside of the play-in just gave up at the trade deadline. They aren’t even wanting to compete.

The team should have been much better this season and it was mainly a function Willie Green being horrible.

The team has talent and some nice rookies.

The Indiana trade was unfortunate, but they basically blew up the team and had a crazy freak injury.

The Atlanta pick will be closer to 8-10 in my opinion when all is said and done. No clue how the trade discussion went, but Queen and Fears were great picks.

Did I miss something? When did we get our lottery pick back?


They didn’t. They are probably going to out perform all the teams outside the play-in currently the rest of the season. The Pels are better than their record. They are 9-6 when Herb plays since December. So the starting 5 rotation they have now has been working.
Pels will end up being a late lottery team by the end of the season.

The biggest miss was not immediately firing Green.

The Indiana trade was kind of crazy. The Pacers superstar has a devastating injury and they just decide to tank/blow it up.
The easiest thing to fix the 3pt line issue is to cap the reward of 3pt shots. Don’t move the line. Just make it where after so many makes it turns to 2pt shots. You can still shoot out there for spacing; however, you will not get the extra point.

Make it 2 made 3s per quarter that result in 3pts up until the last 3 minutes of the game. The last 3 minutes of the game there is no cap. That way until the last three minutes of the game you could only have 8 made 3s worth 3pts. At a 35% rate that is only 23 attempts at that point until maxed out.

It isn’t that crazy of a change as they have changed fouls results and foul limits over the years based off of time in the game.

The NBA should like it, as neutralizing perimeter shooting gives them more influence over the officiating and outcome of the game.

This change would end this nonsense with a quickness.

Borrego kept Zion on the sideline too long while the 6ers were scoring. . Bad coaching.


Borrego definitely managed the rotations poorly in the 4th.
Zion is the only player that would make sense to move that may have value.

Herb, Trey, Sadiq are the perfect players to build on great contracts. We will doubtfully get anything back that would make sense.

No way you would want to trade Fears or Queen either.

Pels are 7-2 in 2026 when Herb plays.

So Missi gets destroyed and Herb barely touches and gets a foul.

I mean the defensive foul and tech on Trey was bs. The offensive foul on DQ was bs.

Problem is every team knew/knows that 2026 is a great draft class (making the Queen trade even more idiotic), so I doubt we’ll get much of anything for our fringe guys. Maybe a 2027 pick or something.


Queen is great and I am glad we have him. I think he is a strong core piece that is a potential future all-star/game changing player.

So while people want to complain about the trade. We ended up with two awesome rookies that are starter quality.

I think the team needs to hold on to Bey, Murphy, and Jones. They are the pieces needed for a competent team.

The only real question is trading Zion and what does the team want for him.

2) I actually don't mind the Morant/KCP for Murray/Poole trade as long as we don't give up any picks.


I mean if there is any protection on it at all, I probably ain’t going to be mad.

Is Murray going to be any good after the injury?
The Murray one is more bad luck. The guy was barely here and then tore his Achilles.

The below lineup can be strong in my opinion and could win a bunch of games if healthy.

Bey
Jones
Murphy
Williamson
Queen
