Raiders draft a running back 1st overall
Heard Lowe talking about how Mike Brown will presumably make adjustments next game, things like not switching everything in defense. Knicks fans, I am so sorry but I feel I have to warn you that Mike Brown probably isn’t going to do that.
Major shoutout to Kevin Love outlet pass highlight videos, which got a shoutout on John Oliver last night. Perfect
How true it is.
I fully expect we slide to 8, but my dreams are based on 1. I'm manifesting it.
I don't think he's the pick at 1 though, so this will all be moot...
I think this is ideal
With that settled, here's an updated look at the Jazz's pick situation.
They also have the option to trade their own 2033 1st and 2nd, as early as draft night.
The Utah Jazz won the tiebreaker with Sacramento which means even if they are jumped by four teams on lottery night they will keep their pick. Thus ends the pick obligation to OKC.
Wait are any of the other coin flip results out yet?
ugh SHUT UP official NBA social media account, tell us who won THE KINGS/JAZZ COIN FLIP CHIP DIP CHAMPIONSHIP
Should just have the Kings and Jazz get 1 and two in the lottery and make this coin flip meaningless.
Rudy Gobert was pretty firmly the best big on the floor in the first half.
Massively impressive showing from him on both ends of the floor. Especially want to commend his work in short-roll situations.
RUDY HAS MULTIPLE DPOYS FOR A REASON.
So the whole thing comes down to the pope denying that Jesus was pro-war? Is this why I keep seeing reports that Leo and Trump are "feuding"? Yes, but that framing, which is all over the media, is totally wrong. Leo and Trump aren't "feuding," and Trump did not "hit back," "strike back," or "return fire" against the pope. Trump has repeatedly launched unprovoked military actions that he and his lieutenants have attempted to cloak in the language of Christian righteousness. The pope has said that Christian righteousness is incompatible with unprovoked war. Trump has publicly mocked, derided, and attacked the pope; the pope hasn't attacked Trump at all. A feud requires the participation of two people. If you say, "We should respect the sovereignty of each individual, for we are all children of God," and I say, "Fuck you, you dirty hippie," what we have is not a feud. What we have is a principled person trying to have a conversation with an asshole.
I feel like it's always been an issue, it just hasn't mattered until the last couple years because they were so good otherwise.
That's fantastic

Those red uniforms look nice. Surprised they haven't worn them before.
Not all the way playoff level, just a little more playoff level.

I wish they would bring a little more of this to the regular season.
I thought, therefore I was?
