  1. I wish they went a bit further and told us how many missed games were due to injury. Because last year he missed about 50 games because he wouldn't get vaccinated. Previous seasons he missed time because he needed mental health breaks. Some social issues were more important than basketball, etc. I bet 80% of those missed games weren't even due to injury.
  2. Kyrie can't get out of his own way. He makes another dumb comment and is in trouble again before the all star game.
  3. Nah, nobody is missing the playoffs for a 6% chance at #1.
  4. Fuck with our sports betting and we fine ya. Spew anti-Semitic bullshit and you get a talkin to from the commissioner.
  5. Your eyes weren't even done rolling from the Kyrie post.
  6. 1 year T-Bill is 4.8% today.
  7. Why not take all the teams that miss the playoffs and give them an equally weighted shot at 1-5. Then 6-30 drafts by their record. Nothing is perfect but that takes away the incentive to lose 60-65 games a year like some teams blatantly try to do.
  8. That is another problem. The Pistons only control the 15 guys on the NBA roster and the two guys on a 2-way contract. Anyone else on the Cruise currently can be signed to any other team in the league as long as it is an NBA contract. And G-League contracts are only a year long. So at the end of the season the roster goes poof and next year they redraft the entire roster. They need some mechanism that allows them to draft a kid and develop him in the G-League for a couple of years.
  9. There needs to be massive structural changes to NBA rosters to allow teams to develop young players. I do not know anything about the NHL. But I imagine when the Wings send a kid to the minors they can replace him on the big clubs roster. You can't do that in the NBA. You get 15 roster spots (Plus two 2-way contracts) and that is it. So you have two guys out with injuries in Burks and Bagley, now a third with Duren. You are down to 12 healthy guys on the big roster. With a 9 or 10 man rotation you can't really lose Hayes to the Cruze and only have 11 healthy bodies for the Pistons. They need to expand the rosters to 25 players. 15 on the big team and 10 in the G-League that you can call up as needed. 3 guys get hurt you put them on some sort of IR list where they are out a minimum of 10 (or whatever) days and you can call up 3 G-League guys to replace them. I don't know if that is the perfect fix but something like that needs to be done.
  10. The Nets, Kyrie, and the Anti-Defamation League released a statement saying the Nets and Kyrie will both donate $500,000 to causes that work to stop hate.
  11. Kyrie is providing good cover for the Udoka hiring. Almost nobody is talking about the Nets hiring a coach that did something so bad his previous organization thought he should be suspended for a year. And they hired him after serving about a month of the year long suspension. Maybe that was an option for his punishment. A year suspension or coach the Nets.
  12. Yep. They said people buying I-Bonds on the last few days of the higher rate were not guaranteed to get them in time. S a ton of people must have been trying to buy. Makes sense.
  13. I almost think the fixed rate is worth losing a couple of percentage points. I know I will be buying my dad another $10k worth at the first of the year.
  14. By sides he means Boston? They would need some sort of compensation to let him go wouldn't they?
  15. And the winning Tweet is...
