  1. Kendrick Perkins is really dumb, but this is impressively dumb even for him. Yes, noted family men Magic Johnson (slept around for years), Kobe Bryant (raped a woman) and Shaq (self admitted serial cheater). I'm sure there are others but as far as I know, Durant isn't married and doesn't have kids.
  2. Panthers are the 4th team since 1980 to make 3 straight Stanley Cup Finals, along with the Islanders, Oilers and Lightning. A little surprised that neither Pittsburgh nor Detroit did it.
  3. If we can’t get 1 run here with the top of the order we should be forced to forfeit.
  4. 3 balls in the dirt to the 9 hitter. Make more competitive pitches to awful hitters.
  5. The Rockies are 1/3 of the way through their season and are 9-45, which is a pace of 27-135. To match the White Sox mark of 41-121, the Rockies would have to go 32-76, which is a 48 win pace. The Rockies have a RD of -173. The WS last year were 15-39 with a -116 RD through 54 games, but were in the midst of a 14 game winning streak with 21 and 12 game losing streaks still to come. So it seems pretty bleak. However, the 2023 A's were 10-44 with a -190 RD through 54 games but they went 40-68 the rest of the way and only lost 112 games.
  6. Pretty awesome that a thrilling Min-OKC game ends with a combined 10 FTs and 6 fouls in the final 20 seconds. Just thrilling stuff.
  7. I like Ange. Seems like a good dude. From what I've seen he's pretty thoughtful in his press conferences and seems pretty down to earth. There are definitely reasons to bring him back. I just hope if they bring him back, it's not because he won a trophy. ManU was in the exact same spot with ten Hag last year. The finished 8th with a -1 GD and they 1 of 6 UCL games to finish last in a group with Copenhagen and Galatasaray, But they had a fluky FA Cup run where they beat Man City in the final and kept ten Hag. He lasted 2 1/2 months this year and got fired anyway. There's a decent chance that sunk their season this year because rather than getting a new manager in who could bring in players who fit his system and giving him a full preseason with the team, they had to pivot mid year. So if Spurs want to keep Ange because they think all the injuries were fluky and think he can be successful with a hopefully deeper squad next year that can entice players with UCL games, fine. I disagree, but I understand it. But don't keep him on because he won a trophy, because that's likely not going to end well.
  8. COYS! It's the year of ending droughts so why have Spurs do the same. Palace won their first trophy ever. Newcastle won their first in 70 years or whatever it was. Bologna won their first trophy in 50 years. Either a third division side (though promoted to the second) or Stuttgart (last trophy 2007) will win the DFB Pokal. Not feeling too great about it because Spurs kind of suck. Their last league win over a non-relegated team was on Feb 16 (over ManU). Of course, ManU sucks just as much, and their last league win against a non-relegated team was Jan 26. Wish Maddison was healthy but at least we have our two CB there and Spurs have been much better defensively when both Romero and van de Ven are both in the lineup.
  9. Toronto doing Game 7 Toronto things.
  10. Good to get the series win, but it would be nice to sweep one of the crappy teams on the schedule.
  11. Palace beats Man City in the FA Cup Final to win their first major trophy ever.
  12. No but they were already down 2-1 in the series and it was about to be 3-1 when Tatum got hurt. Decent chance they lose that series even if he didn’t get hurt.
  13. Nailed it. Welp we're one game away from this actually happening. Only once in NBA history has the NBA Finals not featured a 1 or a 2 seed, which was 1978. That year Portland was the defending champ and started 50-10. Then Walton, who ended up winning the MVP, got hurt and they got bounced early. But that year a 1 and a 2 seed made the conference finals. So if OKC loses on Sunday, it will be the first time ever that no 1 or 2 seed even made the conference finals.
  14. Tatum might have just blown his Achilles.
  15. I mean we have the Marlins, White Sox and Marlins in the next 9 games followed by Cincy and the Rockies. I’m not going to panic unless they struggle against those teams. But it’s not outlandish to think we could go like 11-4 in that run.
  16. Vegas just scored on an own goal with 0.4 seconds left to beat Edmonton.
  17. Because of how bad the Rockies are, at first glance it seems like the White Sox have improved. But they’re on pace to win only 43 games.
  18. Would be hilarious with these three dominant teams we’ve had all year if none of them made the conf finals. I’m sure at least one of them will get through since four of the five losses were by 3 points or fewer. But this is still shocking. Home teams 0-6 in the second round so far.
  19. On the plus side, at least Pressly decided to regress numbers wise all in one outing rather than giving up 2-3 runs on 3 separate occasions and potentially blowing more than 1 game.
  20. Yeah, he was brought in to face 7-8-9. If Counsell still trusted him, Pressly would have gone in the 9th.
