That’s great to hear but also a huge bummer that it’s just going to be absolutely dead on TV until a new arena happens. There’s no way to fix what you’re describing. The culture of the lower bowl and all the blockers to get people moving in and out is baaaad TV. 2 very calm and passive...

If the stadium is fine then we have awful fans tbh. That is the most empty lower bowl coming out of halftime in all of pro sports. It’s legit crazy, you have about 10 minutes of total game play on tv without fans. And that’s got nothing to do with corporatizing season tickets or pricing people...

There have been better hockey players than Wayne Gretzky. But no hockey player can put up the numbers that he did, merely because of the era they play in. Jordan will be the same. Whatever it was that set him apart - nobody else is really eligible to do. This is because of the maturity of...

There was one play in the 1st quarter last night where Castle whipped an easy lob to Vic over to champ who was open for a corner 3. He hit it. So all’s well that ends well I suppose but it was a brain dead move from castle. For some reason in the first half, they just kept missing him or decided...

Someone posted all of Shai’s possessions against Jeremy last year on r/nbaspurs I think he guarded him like 11 times and Shai scored twice, I think. Jeremy impacted about 3-4 shots, total and Shai generally got to whatever spot he was going for. There was nothing remarkable or effective about...

in a drive/kick/swing/drive/kick/swing offense, castle is fine. He’s the 1st or 2nd action in those situations and will help move the defense around and capitalize on breakdowns. If Fox does a hero-ball thing, castle suffers. But he’s not going to be allowed to do that.

What’s the actual deal here? Based on what you see on TV the crowd generally looks like a collection of school field trips. It looks like tickets are already $10 and still nobody is showing up. I assume: 1) bathrooms and concessions are terribly designed in an old arena so you get delays and...

CMB is a flat out problem. Physically devastating and he’s a real motherf*%#er too.

Our issues on offense when teams are making a surge are pretty limited to young guards struggling with blitzes. Fox isn’t going to sweat a full court press from Brooklyn. This is going to look a lot different when he’s back.

For Lauri, you start with Devin, Jeremy, Barnes/Keldon, 1 FRP and 2 SRPs. That’s the base offer that I think a lot of us would be good with. But that’s not enough for Utah. Since we won’t be giving up our guards, we’d basically have to forfeit like all of our draft capital. I just don’t see...

Truth is that if Wemby was in Toronto or Indiana or Utah or LA or New York or most cities in the league, his highlight packages would be a whole other thing. Currently it’s a bunch of things never done in human history with a smattering of 9 year olds and moms politely clapping. It’s such a...

An experienced team that has its system in order is going to smack us in the face at some point if Fox isn’t on the court. Getting a guy who isn’t fussed at all by getting blitzed unlocks a lot of stability in the half court. I could see us playing OKC tomorrow and losing by 30. But with...

What the hell is up with the lower bowl. It’s a joke, man. People getting nachos for the entire 3rd quarter and half the seats seemingly never filled to begin with. Bottom 5 overall crowd energy, tbh. Maybe bottom 2-3. Whatever the reality is does not come through on the TV broadcast.

One possession last night he took the ball up the court and went straight to pulling up for a 3 with like 16 seconds left on the clock. Never considered sharing. And missed the shot. But I think this is happening less often than years past.

I’m not sure why a team that’s psychotic about defense would draft an undersized guard. Could say the same about Minnesota and Dillingham. Like…what exactly were your expectations here.
