@Cernovich were you demoralized after finding out Steve Bannon was strategizing with Epstein? You once claimed (paraphrasing) that Jordan Peterson pretended to be the man Bannon is. Save us your sanctimony. To be demoralized by govt corruption is naïveté or disingenuousness.

The corruption within the Trump administration has demoralized me in a way my enemies never could. Our enemy is evil. They serve the demons. We know what we are up against. Fighting them is virtuous. Treason and betrayal hit differently, it always does.

@KevinOConnor @McCadeP8 The right question: how should the league help expedite bad teams getting better?
English
Every idea is so bad. So bad.
Nobody actually understands the problem, not even Adam Silver himself.
Nobody is asking the right questions.

Here’s one simple idea for the NBA Draft Lottery: The NBA draws 10 picks, and the teams that missed the playoffs get 6% odds at the first pick, while teams that lost in the first round get 2% odds. Love it or hate it?
English
This has happened numerous times. Jazz run out players 5-15 in their rotation vs. teams’ 1-10 (with maybe one player in the 2-5 range out). Is the gap in NBA talent that narrow, is Will Hardy that good, are Oscar Tshiebwe and Co real rotation guys, or am I missing something?

I just know the Ainge’s are side eyeing the Denver bench right now…..

@thejakeaboo @Eric_M888 @TheRomneyWord @MLB @MissYankee Never said they don’t spray. Said they don’t spray over dirt and residue so there isn’t build up.
English
@Tjonesonthenba 1. Couldn’t agree more
2. Tony, thank you for continuing to engage with Jazz fans despite not covering them anymore. STILL the best Jazz insight going
English
@Eric_M888 @thejakeaboo @TheRomneyWord @MLB @MissYankee Professional baseball grounds crews clean the bases and rubber after every game with tire cleaner such as Black Magic Bleche Wite. They don’t paint over dirt/residue because it does cause build up. Any answer otherwise is clueless.
English
@thejakeaboo @TheRomneyWord @MLB @MissYankee Thank you for answering these and not being rude about it! Interesting to learn. I guess it makes sense in a timing standpoint since it’s much quicker and probably neater without having to like spray it with water and mess up/flood the dirt around the plate
English
@slcdunk Acuff and George would be the worst defensive backcourt in the league. Having two rim protectors behind a small/bad defensive backcourt doesn’t work in the playoffs (Cavs). Who guards Edwards, SGA, any Spurs guard, etc? Would be an awful pick fit-wise.

English
@Tjonesonthenba What do you think the realistic contract demands are for Kessler and George? $28 mil AAV for Kessler and $35 mil AAV for George? Ran the projections… if these are in the ballpark you descend Kessler and avoid the tax/easily stay below the second apron (without using exceptions)
English
It’s so unique. They probably have next year and the year after and then someone is going to have to go
#KeonEllis4MVP@bobsox420
@Tjonesonthenba it's strange haha, the $$ timeline for their core got so accelerated with the JJJ trade & theoretically paying Kessler
English
@KevinOConnor It’s 2032 and Darius Acuff is putting up good stats on a team that tops out as a 5 seed in their conference. His team is looking to get off his close-to-max contract because they realize his skill set isn’t conducive to winning in the playoffs….
English
Some of these passes look like stuff you’d expect from an All-Star guard…and the fact Acuff can score from all three levels effectively on top of this. Special talent…
Mohamed@mcfNBA
It doesn’t get mentioned enough how gifted of a playmaker Darius Acuff Jr. is. 13 AST vs. Texas tonight — 3.2 A/TO (!) on the season for Arkansas, while also boasting a 32.2% assist rate.
English
@Tjonesonthenba @Tjonesonthenba love your draft takes. Can we get a comp for each of those two?
English
@HPbasketball going to try to steel man your argument… it’s more ethical for a team to purposely not play their best players the entire game than play them 3/4 of the game. Is this accurate?
English
@HPbasketball There are close to 10 teams actively trying to lose. Stop clutching pearls. The system requires high picks to acquire talent. Accept it as a necessary evil and move on.
English
I don't even mind if Utah would JUST say "Lauri's out for the season with a hamstring strain, Nurk's out with a knee sprain, and Svi is out with Mykhailiukitis."
But they're not. They're playing them and then benching them in certain games, or down the stretch, or when they might win. THAT is too far.
Gametime0012@Top_Shot12
@HPbasketball 💯 Awful teams trying to be worse than other awful teams doesn’t bother me. A team with JJJ. Lauri, and Key has no business trying to be worse than Washington or Brooklyn. Indiana w/Zubac is in a different tier than the true bottom feeders. That’s where it gets gross.
English
Quick follow up: after the JJJ trade it seems like the Jazz HAVE to keep WK even if that means matching an offer in the $30 million+ AAV range. However that would cause big financial problems quickly with a Keyonte extension looming, correct?
English
@McCadeP8 Your takes stink. Insinuating next year is “make or break” is absurd. They’re banking on improvement from Bailey and contributions from a rookie. A play in would be a win for the franchise. The trade was made with a 3-5 year window in mind. Stop being an alarmist.
English
The Jazz are going to find out if Keyonte-Ace-Lauri-JJJ-Kessler is a championship level team or an overly expensive one. And very fast as well.
Next year is going to be rather high pressure. They have to win 50 regular season + playoff games. They have to.
English
@Tjonesonthenba Would it be fair to say this core + a top 7 pick in the 26 draft has a higher ceiling than the Rudy/Donovan Jazz teams?
English
@NateDuncanNBA Cody Williams was -60 tonight in his minutes on the floor. Would you be able to see if that’s a NBA record?
English
@Browns @Browns @SportsBoyTony great job going from 1.2 to 1.8! Now you can mortgage more future assets to move up or run this slop back and make next year even more insufferable to watch. Trade everyone over the age of 25. You’re 3 years away from .500 anyways
English
@theblockspot A nutless monkey could win 11 games every year with OSU’s resources, history, etc. There are 50 current head coaches in D1 who could do what Ryan Day does with what he has compared to every other school.
English
Agree with the caveat that the best route for the Browns long term would have been getting 1.2, trading down for additional picks, riding Shadeur for 2026, suck in 2026, and go into 2027 with a top 5 pick + an additional first with a cleaned up cap sheet.
Nick Karns@karnsies817
I only care about the best long term outlook of the Cleveland Browns. In a 4 win season, your best chance to improve is the highest draft pick possible. I'll die on that logical hill. Hate me for it if you want.
