WTF? How did I miss this?

I mean, we all knew it was high. But wow.

GOAT

You needed to be out of Tesla a month ago. Elon is making a lot of enemies around the world and the stock price is going to pay the price. Tempting to short it but Tesla has been the ultimate short killer.

NH Seems like an odd location.

Pistons rank 2nd in the league for percentage of field goals that are dunks. 7.9% of our made FG's are dunks. Lakers are #1 at 8.1%. On the defensive side of the stat we are 9th at 5.5%.

It's all about the price you can get Duren at. I think roughly 10% of the salary cap is about right. The cap should be around $170 million that summer. Opening offer of $15M per, hope to get him at $17M per, grit your teeth and do $20M per. Anything higher and I need significant improvement on his perimeter defense to consider it. Otherwise you let him walk. They have 18 months to figure that out though. Like I said, seeing him in the playoffs would be real nice.

Its like the folks that give 110%.

Best Tweet of the game.

Nico cost Luka $500K

Hard for me to get behind stuff like this when his TO% is 20%. That makes Cade look like a guy who never turns it over. Of the players who have played >20 games this year, Duren has the 23rd worst TO% in the entire league.

Ausar's ball handling skills will determine how successful he is/isn't. If you had to list his top 3 areas to improve, ball handling would be the first 5. That is how important it is.

Bill Simmons touting some big announcement this week. People are speculating that The Ringer will hire Zach Lowe.

The Duke's social media team needs a raise.

Jalen Duren will end being the ultimate what does he make guy. He has zero range on offense. 68% of his FGA’s are inside of 3 feet. 99.94% of his FGA’s are within 10 feet. The tip ins on offensive rebounds are obviously all his. But any other point he scores is due to Cade or someone else setting him up. He is one of the best lob catchers in the league. Has amazingly soft hands, great hand-eye coordination, and has a lot of range when catching a lob. That has a lot of value, especially to #2 and keeping #2 happy is important. On defense I think his post play and drop coverage have improved a bit. I bet his rim protection stats are also better. But in space on the perimeter, he is one of the worst big men defenders in the league. This will be even more important come playoff time. Big men that cannot defend in space get exposed and benched in the playoffs. To start the year, he still had some effort issues. I think since around the Holidays his effort level has been fantastic. He needs to get smarter about using his fouls. Bigs need to use their fouls around the rim to prevent and 1’s. Stop picking up dumb fouls 70 feet from the basket or setting a stupid moving screen. It would be great to make the playoffs this year so we can see how he handles playoff basketball.

She is his ex. So is SZA, the woman in red that sang with him tonight.

What was the payout if you took Serena Williams to Crip Walk during the halftime show?

You can't make this up. They are now saying AD is out indefinitely with his injury.

Luka about to drop 84 on these fools next game. The fact he thinks this statement somehow helps him is mind blowing. Taking a giant dump on your organizations second favorite player is never a good idea. I assume he doesn't mean 370 pound Shaq?

The offense is so bland and boring. Pass it around the perimeter until you take a mostly contested shot with under 5 seconds on the shot clock.
