quote:I’m guessing the Dolphins due to the Latin America/Spanish angle and Denver and other parts of Colorado surprisingly has a lot of Hispanics. The Chiefs, however, I don’t know.
Chiefs, Dolphins, and Broncos make no sense.
quote:I know people in the UK who are Dolphins fans way back to when Dan Marino played. For whatever reason, Dan Marino and the Dolphins have been a popular NFL team in the UK since the 80s.
Dolphins get Latin America and Spain - that makes complete sense, though they really should get South America, not Mexico. No idea why they are tied into the UK - that is dumb.

Saints linked with France due to the Louisiana French connection.

I have no issue with a bench coach filling in to be the head coach when a coach is fired during the season.
And if he has success they can evaluate whether they should hire him. I’d give JB the shot. He was a hot name in head coaching searches in recent years.
I just don’t like bringing in a new coach mid-season.

Personally, I hate bringing in a new coach during the season.
A coach needs a full offseason to prepare a team. Getting a new coach to come in during the season is setting him up for failure.

Why in the world would the outcome of a game against the Blazers have anything to do with whether or not he should be fired? What could this game possibly tell them that would make them change their mind?
Obviously they need to fire Green, but honestly I don’t think the franchise turns around until the team is sold to someone who really wants to win and is smart and ambitious. And that owner will clean house and turn the organization around. Until the team is sold, I don’t see long-term success.
I see people wishing for the team to move. Why would anyone want that? The organization is dysfunctional and frustrating, but you should want the team sold to someone who wants to win in New Orleans. Forget Willie Green… make Gayle feel the heat.

re: Why is gambling legal?
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 11/10/25 at 5:55 am to Jack Daniel
I agree. So many more people are gambling because it’s legal. What was a smaller problem could be a bigger problem as people who never would have gotten involved with gambling when it was illegal now get sucked into it because it’s legal.
Banning alcohol decades ago was never going to work because so many people drank and it’s almost impossible to take something away that so many people participated in.
But with gambling, it wasn’t very widespread. By legalizing it, a bigger problem may be created with more people becoming hooked. There was no reason to legalize it.

Green is a chucker, but he played /started 82 games and scored over 20ppg (35+% 3pt). He's not a negative and he produced. To negate all his contributions is petty.

It's not going to matter if he doesn't play and he can only play one spot. This isn't a referendum on Durant. I'm sure he'll be great and a possible improvement over Green. But that doesn't solve all the issues they have now, that are amplified by the loss of Vanvleet. IMO I think this is a debilitating situation for them and they are going to be forced to make a move to fill those spots in the backcourt, cause it's Championship or bust for them. I can totally see them flipping Eason or JSS for depth or a short term starter. Or do you think they just roll with it?
???????
They lost Fred VanVleet and traded Jalen Green. Please explain to me what’s going on it doesn’t make any sense!

re: Alright I’ll be that guy. What’s with the recent push to stop circumcising young men?
Posted by PrimeTime Money on 10/29/25 at 6:01 am to jlovel7
I think it has spread on the internet. Most people on the internet are not from America, and when the topic of circumcision comes up, foreigners of course are against it because they themselves are not circumcised and so they’re biased. If it wasn’t for foreigners online, this wouldn’t even be a topic with any traction.

They played two really good teams and lost two very close games. Revisit this after 20 games.

And when he’s not getting to the line and shoots a jumper instead, he pushes off the defender every single time to create space. It’s cheap and should be an offensive foul.
Every time. It’s never called.

quote:According to basketball reference, your numbers are off. The 80’s are widely known as the decade with the highest scoring, so I didn’t even bother to verify if 109 is correct, but in the 90’s the average was 100 ppg. And really, that’s only because the first half of the 90s was coming down off the highs of the 80’s. By the mid 90’s, ppg dipped below 100 and hit an all-time low of 91 ppg in 1998-99. The average for the second half of the 90s was 96 ppg, and if you look at the 10 years from 1995 to 2005, the average was 95 ppg.
In the 80s, teams averaged 109. In the 90s they averaged 103.
It was very boring. Offenses consisted of either throwing the ball down to the big man for a post up, or a guard clearing everyone out to go 1 on 1. It was an iso-fest whether it was a big man or a guard. Walk the ball up and iso. The game was slow and boring.
That’s why they changed the rules. They wanted to encourage a faster-paced, more team-oriented game, and I believe they achieved that.
And I don’t see how 3 pointers are boring. An offense breaks down a defense and finds an open shooter… that’s basketball. That’s what basketball is all about.

Ah, yes, everyone loved the 85 to 81 scores and slow iso-fest offense of the 90’s so much that they completely changed the rules to allow for a more uptempo game.
Jordan was incredible. The stars of the 90s were great. But the on-court product was pretty shite. It was so shite that they made major rule changes to liven up the game because it was such a slog.

quote:He didn’t go to college and went straight to playing in Overtime Elite. He played PG. He has been groomed as a PG/wing hybrid with the Rockets. He’s always been a PG and has continued to develop his PG skills with the Rockets. Rockets fans have been talking about him as the secondary PG since he was drafted. It’s a constant conversation.
Playing PG in HS is not the same as playing PG in the NBA going against an elite defender.. he’s obviously a big guard/wing but no one would label him a PG.
Yet fans of other teams had no idea he was a PG. It’s no surprise at all to Rockets fans that he would be given PG duties after Fred went down, as it’s always been his position. He’s a very good passer. He can get to the rim in the pick and roll. The thing he isn’t great at still is his handles, which obviously for a PG it’s important, So he will turn the ball over more than Fred. However, he brings other attributes to the position that makes him more than capable of running the offense.
The question is the backup PG spot… not Amen running the point when he’s on the floor.

That felt like a playoff game. Wanted the win but I’m happy with how the Rockets played overall.

Was surprised to see Thompson playing PG and going at his matchup. That’s a scary development for a player like that.
