    Luka tweaked his ankle and did not play in the Mavs last game. He is listed as questionable tonight. Wood and Kleber are out. Dallas without Luka is on par with Houston and Detroit as one of the worst teams in the league.

    I will save us all some time and lay out what is going to happen the next 10 months. Knox, McGruder, and Joseph win us some meaningless games in March. We end up with the 4th worst record. We drop to 9th in the lottery. A new head coach is hired. We all go on about what a great hire he is. None of us knew his name before he was hired. We draft a kid at #9 none of us have ever seen play for one minute. After the introductory press conference we all say, "I don't know what it is about <9th draft pick> but he really seems to have the it factor." We end the post with Detroit vs Everyone or whatever T-Shirt slogan is popular at the time. <9th draft pick> has a mediocre summer league. But in one of the games he goes off for 22 points while being guarded by the 5'11" third string Venezuelan national team player. Jordan/Wilt/Lebron comps flood the board. Change the comps to Bird/Luka if <9th draft pick> is white. Between summer league and training camp someone will post a tweet showing <9th draft pick> hitting 5 jumpers. We will rave about his jumper looking better in an empty gym with no defenders. IG or Tik Tok is also acceptable here. <9th draft pick> will have an OK pre season showing a few things, but overall rather average. And during the third preseason game you swear you saw a blue glowing hologram image of Greg Monroe, Stanley Johnson, and Brandon Knight hoovering over the LCA court, sort of like Yoda and Obi Wan. I post the 2024 draft thread before the end of the third quarter of game #1.

    Well, one good thing came of this. JJJ was -210 to win DPOY last I looked. I just loaded up on him to win at -110. Kinda screwed up though. Nic Claxton was +1600 when the post hit Reddit and now is +350. Could have made a bundle on that move. Oh well, JJJ is going to win it so getting him at better odds is a good thing.

    The last couple of weeks have slowed the Brandon Miller hype. Totally invisible today as his team was blasted by Oklahoma.

    BTW, tonight was a good example of why Ivey should not be a PG or #1 facilitator.

    They just lost to the worst team in the league. That team didn't have its top 3 players.

    Is it possible to fire an entire organization at once? Asking for a friend.

    I definitely expect better numbers at home. But not that big of a gap.
  13. Deleterious
    Hold up. Green, Porter Jr., and Sengun are not playing for Houston and the Pistons are still behind by 2 at half?
  14. Deleterious
    I guess someone went through JJJ's games at home and on the road. His blocks and steals at home are much higher than on the road. 4.13 blocks per game at home and 2.19 on the road. Steals at home are 1.4 and on the road 0.63. So he speculated the Memphis score keeper has been padding Jackson's stats at home.

    Ask again in 18 months. But yeah, a lot of streaming services already have sports that are not RSNs. Amazon has the Thursday night NFL game. YoutubeTV just bought NFL Sunday Ticket. Peacock has premier league games. Two of the three Hulu packages include ESPN+. The NBA deal is up in a year or two and most feel at least part of their rights will go to a streamer. Odds are you are already subsidizing sports in some form. And as the RSN contracts expire they will most likely end up on a streaming service as well. If HBOMax wanted to add F1TV to its lineup I wouldn't mind.

    Nothing has changed. Instead of subsidizing it with your cable bill you will now do it with your streaming bill. It might even be worse now because I suspect they will bump the price up a few bucks on every customers + charge you $4.99 a month to view MLB games.

    My guess is the creditors would have a deal negotiated with Netflix/Amazon/Apple to sell it before they even took possession.

    Sounds like Diamond Sports Group is set to miss an interest payment in February. That is the subsidiary of Sinclair that operates Bally Sports. This would trigger a 30 day grace period and then chapter 11 comes right after. Their second tier debt, about $5B, is trading at 10 cents on the dollar. That is the debt that basically has no shot of being paid back in bankruptcy. The article said there are two options in bankruptcy. All TV contracts with the MLB, NHL, and NBA disappear and rights are open for bidding again. Or the creditors take large equity positions in lieu of payments and basically become owners.

    A few things about Red Bull. Rumors of a new livery this year and people are speculating it will be white. A lot like the special one they ran for Honda in the past. The unveil will be in NYC during fashion week. More teams chasing those American dollars.

    Intel has/had terrible management. Does TSMC still build their nodes for them? Yep, they were so far behind that TSMC had to build the 4nm and 3nm nodes for Intel's CPU and GPUs. Basically Burger King asking McDonalds to make their fries for them. They did get a new CEO and their node roadmap has them releasing a 2nm node in 2024. If they can hit that target date they will be back on track, but I remain skeptical.

    Sort of misleading. His max isn't the max. Since it is an extension he can only get 4/$112m. If he goes to free agency he can get a 1st year salary that is 35% of the cap. Cap is expected to be $134m next year so he could get $46m in his first year.

    Walton never had a season over 5 APG. Wilt never lead the league in assists. He had two stand out years where he averaged 7.8 and 8.6 assists per game. Every other year was a fairly big drop off. Wilt averaged 4.4 assists per game for his career. Jokic has one season (rookie year) where he was below 4.4 every other year was above that. 5 of his 8 seasons are over 7 APG. 2 of his 7 are over 8 APG and a third was 7.9.

    Decent since it was a down year for auto sales. Tesla made an annual profit of $12.6 billion in 2022
