It’s the Achillies. Awful for Hugo.

I understand the feeling of this season feeling miserable, because it is, but I feel bad for Slot. This entire boils down to the fanbase sees the hottest girl at the bar is available and that’s all they care about. Even if he won the CL fans would hate him because it eliminates the chance of Alonso

“Jota will tragically pass pre season, Isak will play 4 games, you’ll never have a single healthy right back all year, you’ll have exactly 2 healthy CB’s all year, your 3 most important players (VVD, Salah, and Ali) will all level down 2 notches, and you’ll finish 5th” genuinely seems miraculous!

lot of those same people spent years (correctly) complaining at the number of neutrals happy to see a sportswashing petrostate dominate because liverpool fans were annoying

Nope! You’re one of us now. I have proof.

Last point: this was a thin squad coming into the season, and now this is a very thin squad still in 3 competitions while carrying a lot of injured players. Injuries are mostly bad luck but the thin squad was bad planning. Ans that is first and foremost on Hughes and Edwards and only then on Slot.

I know injuries happen to everyone but Isak, Eketike, and Salah all unavailable for this game feels like a death knell for creativity.

Same. Out of all the app habits I’ve had to break, that was by far the easiest.

I feel like Hanks and Denzel are the only two of the relatively same era I can point to

Genuinely asking, is an organic tank with the chance to bring back AD and Kyrie next year a “best case scenario” type of thing?

The Mavericks Are Maddening. Here’s the Cheat Code To Understand Them. They beat really good teams. They lose to really bad teams. How should you cut through the noise? Start with these three stats.

the mavericks are a very weird team, beating good teams and losing to bad ones. there are three categories that help explain the madness and I wrote about it for

The one thing I’ll say is……what if this is the only/best way to get off of Trae Young?

I genuinely don’t know how to process this last 6 minutes. I’m in shock.

Mavericks

1) The day Nico Harrison gets fired
2) Nico Harrison won’t be fired

I’ve just always viewed him as 6’10 Jordan Poole. Also known as Kyle Kuzma.

The Pitt. It’s a bit heavy emotionally, but it’s maybe the best series I’ve watched in a decade.

Man, this isn’t even his worst moment. He was on the losing end of the Nick Taylor 70 footer in the playoff in Canada a couple years ago.

Yeah I was gonna say, this wasn’t an either/or situation.

This is me except also I want pens taken before the game.

My occam’s razor here is Kidd bitched all the time to Nico about the same things Nico saw, and Nico took that as implicit approval to trade him. I’m sure he was tired of the same stuff Nico was and wanted things to change, but not like that.

Luka Doncic still crying two minutes into the game, after having scored, is so visceral

There is nothing more powerful than emotion. Mavs ownership is going to feel this decision for years.

It’s important to stand for things you believe in because profit optimization is coming for them

Tommy-lad is a GREAT call out here. Well done.

VVD

HOOPIN hoopin

I was gonna say, it’s been kinda fun watching NFL fans discover their own Jordan vs LeBron argument after this Super Bowl.

Right?!?!?! Just great looking all the way around.

Oh they’re hideous. TAG IMO are the best looking slabs out there. This is gonna sound dramatic, but the Luka trade kinda changed my thoughts on what “PC” is. I’ve spent years collecting Luka and Lively because they were “our guys”. Now I might be stuck with some duds because Luka got traded.

For PC I have a strict 9 or higher rule. But with legends like KD, if it’s truly PC and you’re never getting rid of it, then an 8 will be rare in 20-30 years so keep it in the slab.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be incompetence, but ego and hubris fit here pretty damn well. And we may not want to credit him with it, but he’s also the GM who let Brunson walk.
